I like him but he's just too wired all the time, can't calm a game down

No

I'm going to have to tell work I need to start half an hour later on a Monday...

Oh dear, what a shame

Not for me, I think we'll lose on Sunday and lose the two games over Christmas and that just leaves too much to do.

Seriously? He is a fucking disgrace

I'm a generous man. I dunno, I just don't think he's a cunt. Lage was a cunt.

And a chunk of the first third. If we'd lost to Chelsea on Christmas Eve we were bang in trouble. And we should have been 3-0 down after 20 minutes but got away with it.

You know Jacqui, the conversation doesn't just exist because we're 19th. It should exist if we were 9th. Maybe if you weren't such a fucking shill you might have noticed six months ago but what can you do, eh.

--------------New GK------------------ Semedo------New CH----New CH----Ait-Nouri -----------J Gomes-------André------------- ------Forbs--------Cunha----------Sarabia------ -----------------Strand Larsen--------------- That gives you a puncher's chance I reckon. Depending who the new bits are.

Ultimately you're never going to know unless you live through it, unfair to have a go at other clubs' fans because why would they know. I had a load of it in the Lage days. "8th aren't you, can't be that bad". Yes it is that bad my friend. And it'll come home to roost.

It's control as well, I've rarely if ever seen a manager approach games like Gary O'Neil. Dude, if we go 1-0 up, or get back in at 1-1, keep the ball a bit. Take the sting out of the game. But no. You carry on going gung ho and see what happens. He never, ever learned from that. I don't like...

I don't have the visceral personal hatred for him, he passed the buck a bit towards the end but every manager will do that when the team is in a tailspin. He isn't a massive cunt like Hoddle, Lage or Saunders absolutely were and there was at least a very brief stage where he looked alright...

We were 100% going down without a change so from that point of view there is no gamble.

We did half a job with Stale. If we were going all in on a change of approach from 2006 onwards then he had to have a total clean sweep, goodbye to the old guard. The existing players didn't want to know. Doesn't give him a free pass of course. Saunders had at least five games that were worse btw.

Six things for me: 1) Get in a new centre half next month. Ideally two. Doesn't matter if they're Mendes clients or not, we currently have Toti (not a terrible squad player, but that's all he should be), Bueno (weak, diffident and slow) and Dawson (looks like a season too far for him). That's...

As I said earlier, I'd still have all of these below him: Lambert Solbakken McGhee Hoddle Zenga Lage Saunders That is not an endorsement of Gary O'Neil

3 wins in 26, 2 clean sheets since January, over 100 goals conceded in under a season and a half, more set piece goals conceded than literally any other Premier League team at the same stage since 1992, you'd do well to be as bad or worse than that.

Man is that club a mess. Wouldn't judge him too harshly on that one

He's legions above Zenga who had only really ever managed Sampdoria of note, and that basically because he was a big name Italian player once upon a time. Porto, Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe and Flamengo are all far bigger jobs than anything Zenga had ever taken on.
