I am not surprised the authorities have been lenient but it's a bit of a soft option.

JohnMac

Let's just hope they quickly develop a working relationship. You often read about Managers whingeing about players signed without their knowledge.

Getting rid of Hughes may work for Southampton but selling the club to a Chinese investor most certainly hasn't. Selling their better players to put the club in the black in order to attract a buyer was the strategy set out by Katherina Liebherr according to a fan phone in. She also lobbied on the i...

I looked at this a few weeks ago and thought 5 points.

I have revised it to 7 points purely to pull myself out of the malaise but honestly think it could another winless month.

I thought we were leading the field in that respect

JohnMac

Both.

Great to see a Manager caught up in the euphoria of a winning goal but rules apply to all so it's a big fine and a minimum 3 game ban for me.

Let's not forget what happens to a fan 'caught up in the moment' because they have no defence whatsoever.

You would hope that would transfer onto the pitch, this may well be a defining moment against a top, top team.

Beat them comfotably and the fog will lift...

Messi would struggle with our set up at the moment.

Loftus Road is probably the worst away end I have visited in the top two divisions.

JohnMac

In the games Palace have failed to win at home this season the opposition have attacked them, put them on the back foot, put doubt in their minds. Yesterday, even after nearly 24 hours to calm down, was spineles, clueless, at best, pathetic. We are pinning our hopes on three teams being worse than u...

Oh good, the alarm stopped in round 11.

Sleep beckons...

JohnMac

115 - 111 Wilder

114 - 110 Fury

113 - 113

Money rules

JohnMac

Yup a complete fix, how unusual in the modern world of boxing.

JohnMac

Only got involved because an alarm has woken up half of Padiham

I had to look out the window for a tsunami or a load of Heinkels ..

JohnMac

What will those 2 knock downs do to the scorecards?

A draw?

JohnMac

If he could punch he would be dangerous, he has proved he can box.

JohnMac

Fury showing incredible resilience

JohnMac

Another knock down...

JohnMac

With a dodgy 'home decision' probably.

JohnMac

Wilder will win this.

JohnMac

Fury dropped in the 9th, back up at count of 7

Looking tired but finished the round.

Mate, they are sad. Some people have no purpose in life.

There are 19 teams we should be targeting in order to survive!

JohnMac

oh, that's how you show it. Interesting. Sexual Orientation should not be a reason to be abused, campaigns draw attention to it but do very little in reality. It's the same with the abhorrent racism issues. There are bigger problems in life like the Homeless, many of who suffer from mental illness ...

Me too, as you will see from my post.

JohnMac

There are far more important things in life but I suppose anyone not remotely interested in supporting any of these minority campaigns is tarnished as a knuckle dragger.

I'm just off to get some plasters

JohnMac

I'll have a brew and start thinking about whether to bother renewing next season. As much as I enjoyed the Championship I honestly think our time is up and we are about to dive quicker than a Submarine. I watched Sheff Utd v Leeds and am watching Boro v Villa and we would struggle against any of the...

JohnMac

This current form wouldn't get us 18 points in the Championship, be careful who you mock!

JohnMac

Hart 8 Not worth scoring anyone else individually so I'll give them all a 4. It was as poor a team performance as we have seen under Dyche who must step up to the plate and shoulder the blame. Either the players don't want to play for him or his tactics and set up is the worst of anyone since Billy ...

Brady and JBG are the same and Lennon with his right foot.

There is little chance this squad would get us promoted from the Championship, those that weren't moved on as a cost saving measure anyway.

JohnMac

Surely the question now is can we afford not to ?. Just about to post the same question. No room for sentiment, he has been magnificent for 5 years but clearly that has gone, nothing to hide behind, no excuses, we are the worst side in the League by a long way and the Players look terrified, lost, ...

JohnMac

I hope you didn't find one, it's as poor as we have ever played. No excuses, nothing to hide behind now.

For anyone mad enough to want to watch us, google ATB, you have to pay but it's a great deal. I have had every game bar one in perfect HD.

JohnMac

That's it. Relegation is happening, no excuses, this is the WORST TEAM in the league by a long way.

JohnMac

It's like the Wolves game all over again.

JohnMac

Their approach play is a joy to behold but fortunately their finishing is as bad as our defending.

JohnMac

Maybe the Boards ambition and the Players desire are a million miles apart. Bust a gut to finish 7th, for what?

JohnMac

We have conceded more goals already than we had up until the end of March last season. You can hide behind some things but that is a frightening stat.

Zaha and Townsend for that matter can rip anyone in football a new one when on their game. It's not down to Matt Lowton and Charlie Taylor.

Blackrod wrote:Predictable crap performance again. Would any other PL club put up with this ?

In a nutshell, no. I don't think Garlick and the Board will see too much wrong with it though because the ambition from top to bottom is survival without cost.

JohnMac

We have a good passing sequence out of defence, it reaches Lennon in their half and predictably he puts it straight back into our half without even looking around. It then gets hoofed and THAT sums up what we are about.

JohnMac

Apparently Lennon is carrying a knock or tight hammy and was stretching it BEFORE kick off. Why take the risk?

JohnMac

Competing for the ball would be a good place to start. This team are shot at the moment, they are completely lacking in confidence.

JohnMac

Bloody defence again, an absolute shambles.

JohnMac

With the way Dyche sets up a team he’d need success fairly quickly anywhere else or he’d be gone just as quick. Sean Dyche did very well at Watford and is a great fit at Burnley, not too disimilar to David Moyes at Preston, then Everton. Dyche will only find his limit once he has tried elsewhere bu...

JohnMac

I have never expected a flurry of signings at any point in recent times because we don't need them. What is needed is an ability to change the game plan when it isn't working. We have players on the bench to do this but have reverted to the tactics of our previous relegation season with SD. Set up n...

According to Wiki David Brooks had played 30 matches in three seasons for Sheff Utd. Was there anything to suggest he was good enough to play for us? He stood out like a tick on a dogs bollock when on tv last season, enough for Eddie Howe to scoop him up, play him in his natural position and reap t...

I'll bet it isn't anywhere near accurate come January 1st.
