Watched QPR v Southampton. Both teams are fucking terrible. Saints have one decent player who went off injured after scoring.

If Manning is still in a job by Midday tomorrow I’d be utterly amazed

They do have to get rid now. Can’t be having a team with Sargent and Kvistgaden in the bottom 3.

Looks wank in the ownership buying him out of his Bristol contract in the summer only to sack him in the autumn.

I’ve noticed there is a lot of this chatter at the moment- Championship is poor quality , anyone can beat anyone etc just because Licester, Blues, Blades, Southampton, Ipswich , Wrexham not in the top 6

Leicester should know as this argument was used against them when they won- worst prem ever, big teams in transition, rebuild etc etc

Totally condescending and no doubt driven by Sky and the betting firms

To be fair if you watched us on Friday and 1st half Tuesday you'd say if they're by far the best team in the league (which has been bandied about a lot) then the rest must be crap

Won about half of their matches by only one goal as well, they didn't exactly smash teams...

We were playing some lovely stuff on Tuesday until they scored, then we struggled to compete for a while. Even then we were still creating good chances.

Exactly - we get judged by different standards. Most of the teams that get promoted have to grind it out for large parts of the season and it’s not always pretty. I would say one bad game and a quarter of Tuesdays game is not representative of our season when you look at our results and goal difference.

The real point is that to finish in the top 2 you have to absolutely minimise those bad days to hardly any or you just end up in the playoffs again.

Agree with this, think heads dropped a bit after due to the loss at Wrexham being recent. Although saying that we should of gone in 1-1 after Wrights chance

In that time it feels like every Tom Dick and Harry's been in the top flight, including some clubs currently in there who're just taking the piss with their presence. Yes it's that 90s football bias but I don't care. Get Bournemouth out of it.

Bournemouth can get in the bin and Brentford and Burnley can join them too. All the Bs.

I stood behind the lead singer his wife and daughter at Santorini airport last year. There must have been a shit load of money spent on cosmetic work by both the ladies...it was pretty horrific. I am clearly too young to remember them, but the wife recognised him.

It’s unfair to bracket Burnley with those two clubs. Historically a big club with major trophies and 60 seasons in the top flight.
