Look I’d love to be on the receiving end of a “told you so” situation sadly I think it’ll be the other way round. The squad of players we have is the worst since May 2017. It’s the worst top flight squad we’ve assembled in the pl era, sorry that’s why we’re in deep shit.

Early days but City might just be turning into Arsenal in the late 00’s smash the fodder struggle v the good sides

What one where we do nothing and they see out the 3 points with no real threat. We had a good opening 20 minutes the moment we were put under pressure we conceded. Newcastle still created the better quality of chances either side of the goal. Said to you earlier but it’s utter delusional to...

Explain how it’s competing not having a single effort on goal for nearly 50 minutes when losing 1-0.

Continual individual errors costing you games means you generally aren’t good enough and neither are the personnel. The reason we keep losing is because of a severe quality issue. What will happen is you’ll keep coming back saying we’re not that far off after we’ve lost another game by 1-2...

I doubt it makes any difference

We were battered by Bournemouth first half and they should’ve been out of sight by halftime. Everton were better than us in every department for about 80 minutes. Sorry but absolutely cannot see how you can watch the games v Bournemouth and Everton and judge that we’re close.

I think we’ve been distinctly second best in every game we’ve played. You know football well and know that not being to bad yesterday doesn’t mean 3 points this Saturday. Big difference to not being far away from a side scoreline wise and actually getting points. Reason being had we say been at...

Should never have survived the Everton away game, absolutely disgraceful tactics he employed in that game and was a big signal he had lost his way big time.

I think it would’ve been more enjoyable this season if we had closed the club and re-opened it again in August next year for the championship. Feels like we barely exist at the moment other than to offer teams a route to picking up form. I’d take 20-25 points now, I’d still be annoyed but...

It’s been a horrible start, as bad as we all feared. It’s no surprise though, many of us in pre season were deeply concerned about quality in the squad and just how terrible we looked. We have a coach who is good enough to set up a team to take points of dross but is limited thereafter. When you...

I’m not quite at the bin him off stage but I’m not far off. It’s unraveling very quickly for him, I’ve pointed out earlier how his performance last season is slightly skewed by opposition circumstances or them just being really shit. His starting line ups have mainly been puzzling, constantly...

Never have felt so disconnected from the club than I do now. There’s nothing endearing about the club, the players are characterless and average. The ownership are non interested, the cost is through the roof.

Yep people calling for Nuno are delusional he wouldn’t touch this squad and nor would he work with that prick at the top again.

If you’re heading down the 1-0 at Newcastle ain’t that bad route then you’re inadvertently highlighting the demise of the club, put simply if 5 years ago we’d played like that and lost 1-0 there would be zero positives. What’s happened is the squad is so bad as are the fan expectations that...
