How could he stay? I've gone over it at length in this thread, so I'm not parrotting like a mentalist. Slade will walk too, it's just a question of when.

Ultimately, when do the fans ever get what they ask for? We have no influence over SISU, the decisions are the latter's only. Personally, I believe football is a revolving door culture these days, there is no such thing as true loyalty in the predominance of clubs. Did we deserve Slade then...

Yep, this is what it boils down to, HH. If we win, it'll be on penalties again, but a FT win is not what I foresee. Hate to say, but I think Wycombe will be far more up for it and they'll scrap to the death. Prediction: 1-0 or 2-1 Wycombe.

When does Ponticelli's contract expire? Thought he signed a new deal last year, didn't he?

Yep, pretty much. The squabble over the chairman's/leader's role would be immense.

Exactly this, break the lad in gently and I'm sure he'll deliver. If he flourishes, he may tear L2 a new bum-bum hole next season. Then, inevitably, he'll be sold...hey ho.

And the more I look at the situation, from failed recruitment in the summer, to him walking after 10 games, it just screams of the fact he was utterly defeated by the constrictions of the board and the limited squad he was lumbered with. He should have at least stuck around till January, in my...

Ok, seriously, who gives a flying toss about blame?! Mowbray failed to sign the quality he targeted, then was forced to sign the dross available...he bottled it, resigned, then the Venus experiment which went horribly wrong, and now step forward Slade. Team under TM = shit. Team under MV =...

I guess the plan Mowbray had, considering the deal Tudgay was given, was to play him intermittently - as and when required. Slade, however, has decided to grant Tudgay a regular spot in the starting 11. Slade has also decided to play hoofball with two average/small height players up front, of...

Seriously pig sick of this now, it's an embarrassment to us all. Our club has lost it's home, it's identity, it's status, it's spirit and it's fucking dignity. Fisher and that rotten hag Joy are rubbing their sweaty little paws at this, since we're now doomed to almost certain relegation, they...

Too little too late, and too many clubs have fallen foul of unscrupulous business practises and financial mismanagement. It's like trying to amputate a limb well after the deadly infection has spread. This talk of reform is probably to save 'bigger' clubs from going the same way, since a few...

Unless you plan to fit those tennis balls with C4, a timer, a charge and a detonator, and hide them in Tim's tennis club bag... ..."Hang on Joy, watch this power serve, I'm a manly bearded man...KABLAMMO!" Knowing our luck it'd only take his racquet out.

See, we lack the Northern spirit on this forum, that little spark of enthusiastic optimism. We're all fucking miserable and tetchy, apart from Otis, who I suspect is Bobby Davro in disguise...

Feels like another loss, but since we haven't won for...(how long?!)...every game we approach is one of dreary dread and low confidence. Can't see us even scoring again, but please, to the Angel in Heaven who controls sports fate and destiny: yes, we're down, yes, we're shit and doomed, JUST A...

No need for it, really. So are we, but is he rubbing our noses in it? At least I was actually being dryly sarcastic...

I apologise, I can be as dry as a camel's nad-sack at high noon. I do appreciate your sentiments, and how decent you are, compared to a select few of your fans who (at Highfield Rd in 2000 after we beat you 3-2) tried to do some serious damage to my nose and bollocks. They failed, but I'm not...

Brilliant post, mate. Football isn't even the same game it was when we went down from the PL, it's become something sterile, soulless and passionless. I rarely watch PL games or highlights anymore, it's just shit. I agree, however, once a Sky Blue, always a Sky Blue. Even if we go out of...

Nice sentiment, but then it got cloudy...hey, if Middlesborough didn't have the points deduction, we'd have both gone down, so let by-gones be by-gones, hmm? Look where we are now, and look at yourselves...that should be more than enough compensation, so you lovely Sunderland chaps shouldn't...

Bit like Andy Whing and the Lasagne of Doom...''Hey Andy, before you tuck in, you're in the team for Saturday" "Ooh, arrgh, fuck, my groin..."

That'd be just the icing on the fucking cake, wouldn't it? Well, let's just see who it is, it's bound to be someone on his last fluid-filled knee, shin-splints and a last pay day gleaming in his eyes.
