    Some lovely remarks about Robins there

    Rhys Carr - Interim Head Coach

    Yeah, but how you going to use an iPad to try and motivate players and gee them up and show passion? Fine for tactics, but no good for team talks and adjustments is it and communicating with the players during the game. If a player wants to shout something over to the bench, will they use...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    Yup, because the timing now seems all wrong. A 3 game unbeaten run and 2 good wins. Think he was just waiting for the next defeat.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I have a confession to make. I have been to Russia, but never to Ukraine, so I think I need to stop talking about the war over there.

    Doug King reminds me of Peter Butterworth

    Matthew Modine for me .. They've both done some stranger things.

    Seems to me that King's mind was made up a while back.

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    The most baffling thing for me is the timing. One more game until an international break. Kind of makes me think King was worried that he wouldn't be able to sack him if we got a really good result at Sunderland. Logic would say to sack him after the game tomorrow and with a break in place

    I don't want us to lose tomorrow, but have written the game off. I will be really, really surprised if we come out of this with anything other than a defeat. Rhys Carr and his laptop? I am thinking a 3-1 defeat.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    I am not, and I repeat, not, going to be chanting Sergei Jakirovic's Sky Blue Army!!

    I fancied us to bounce back in this one and us to bag at least a draw. But that was with MR in charge. Now it's someone on a computer screen playing Sensible Soccer, I think we will lose. Just hope it's not too badly

    BBC News - How would Trump’s promise of mass deportations of migrants work? - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9z0lm48ngo Seems it's wrought with problems. Be very interesting to see how Trump thinks he can do it. Plus, the figure seems to be 11 million, but Trump says he will...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    It can, yes. It's usually a merry go round though because it normally doesn't.

    If he puts tariffs on goods coming in, it's going to result in higher prices.

    Mark Robins managing another team

    About time you got over that by now, dear me. You're not going to keep making me feel guilty forever.

    The mad thing is,. people have been moaning at the cost of everything, but many economists are saying that Trumps plans are going to put prices up further.

    Yeah, I got that. Just repeating what she has said She now wants to leave the country. Had enough. She's Asian, so does receive a lot of racism anyway.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Why? Because that's what happens at so many clubs and happened to us prior to Robins. It's not a stretch to believe that may well happen again. You've answered your own question too. We kept the last one for 7 years. That was a rarity, hence him being one of the longest serving managers on...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    It's such fine margins. 3 game unbeaten run. Torp would have been picked to start if he wasn't carrying a knock. That would have made all the difference, because Saka looked lost in the middle. We then have Rudoni give away the most ridiculous of goals and then to top it all, their player in an...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    It's insane. Cherry picking at what point they want the stats shown from. People are now also talking about our form over a calendar year! Why? The norm is from over a season. And like you say, some people are skipping over it, but the squad was too small (everyone agreed on that) and at the...
