His unscheduled appearance at his own sacking press conference was the perfect end for his reign.
That said, good luck to him. My mother is from Cheltenham, so I have a soft spot for them.

Re: Today's Games 27/09
They were great, yes, but I’d rather have had their opening fixtures than our’s. I know we all have to play each other home and away, but momentum is vital. We managed to beat them.
That said, I can’t see Sunderland being anywhere near a relegation scrap.

Re: Potter sacked
Won 26% of his Premier League games at Brighton. He’s always been a bit of a myth. Talks a good game and a lot of prominent journalists got engaged in his backstory and overpraised him. He’s just not very good at winning football matches. Really? How very odd. He’ll no doubt get another Prem job co...

Re: Anass zaroury
Something changed after the World Cup, whether rumours about his attitude changing were true or not, I don’t know. I do suspect many felt betrayed when dropped for our Prem return, and they probably had some right to.
Good luck to him though, he was incredible for us for a while there.

It had to be a full replay though, didn’t it? You can’t recreate the physical exertion of 80 minutes, on a bog of a pitch, in the ******* rain and just play the remaining time. Is it unfair? Possibly, but a Champ side should not have pitch issues like that. Is it hilarious? Undoubtedly, but it’s the...
