Noble was anything but a good captain. Is that why almost every team mate, to a man, said he was a brilliant captain? Even all the foreign lads who commended his ability for integrating them into the squad.  Seems popular to criticise Noble at the moment, but his captaincy absolutely should not be ...

I think it would be a very miscalculated mistake to even think about changing captain, unless Bowen suggested he was open to relinquishing.  No player is bigger than the club, but when you have a player who epitomises the club values, gives everything to the cause and is the only consistent good thi...

It depends what you categorise as leadership. Clearly you can have the Kevin Nolan type who is vocal, always barking at people, or you can have the ones who lead by example, constantly turning up and dragging the team through nearly every game and who “gets” the club. Bowen does that in abundance.  ...

It was just much more enjoyable to watch. Players getting up the pitch. Actually slinging purposeful crosses in the box instead of cutting back to pass it around aimlessly in our own half again. Fancy Diouf is going to be pivotal in Nuno’s system. Enjoyed watching Tarkowski running backwards as Diou...

Clearly a better plan with the ball, trying to play in their half. Got his work cut out sorting the usual frailties with idiot centre half's marking a yard away from the player.  As for the fucking ref. Got so scared of that jug eared prick Tarkowski after not booking Magassa for winning the ball th...

There is a big difference between low block, and being organised defensively with a threat on the counter. I enjoy counter attacking football. The spell under Moyes when Lingard was scoring nearly every game was great to watch, he obviously went solely defensive toward the back end.  Nuno, last seas...

Kearley mk1 was better than this

If Nuno could get us playing like 'first 18 months Moyes' then I'm all for that. If he's more "last 24 months inferiority complex passive Moyes" then that will be miserable and his tenure short. But either way, I still think we end up without Nuno and with Bilic or O'Neill. They're both j...

I just don’t buy this not being able to get a tune of the squad, as I’ve said before. It’s not an unbelievable squad, by any stretch, and clear issues are in defence, but someone could get this group playing, of course they could! Have a look at that Leeds lineup today and convince me otherwise! Tha...

If he plays Fernandes in that weird hybrid position on the left, it’s akin to when Moyes constantly played Paqueta there, but probably worse.  We have natural pace out there with Summerville, but more importantly, Fernandes seems all action. Tackles, passes well, travels with the ball. I’m not sugge...

Mate has just sent a photo having seen Nuno in Theydon. Seems a convenient place to be given current circumstances unless he lives there from his Tottenham days which is probably unlikely. End clearly insight for gormless. See little point delaying the inevitable, just sack him if you’re interviewin...

Gary O’wall being touted as high on the list by the independent. Did well at Wolves to keep them up afterthey  sold their good players and the football was decent iirc? He struggled the next season early doors after a couple of key players sold ? without a win in first 10 famed but then picked up w...

Aguerd could play every game for Marseille, he will still always butter utterly shit, spineless, and not at all cut out for the premier league. 

As for his goal. Hardly. A bigger deflection you will not see

I’ve seen a few times about anyone having their work cut out to keep this squad up. I find it very baffling.  You’ve got three international goalkeepers (ok, one of them is now a 40yo back up/training ground keeper), two good right backs, a highly promising left back. Fernandes who looks good. Paqu...

Good double save mind you

Beg borrow and whatever else . Put every penny you have on mourinho being the next manager. Dwarfs under the spotlight like never before. And who better to take the spotlight off him fill your boots.     Of the unemployed options, I’d love that. Mourinho would frighten the life out of Sullivan. It’...

Defending corners is not the problem. Most teams are not going to defend 10 corners in a row without issues.  The problem was how many corners we let them fucking have! Maybe playing Paq up front instead of midfield really fucked us here. Couple that with JWP and soucek together and in midfield and...

Potter is acting like a man who sees his best option as being paid off...  BUT... we have to remember that it isn't him that crosses that white line each game...  Lots of culpability here again today. And we've got about 25 minutes to go yet.   He coaches a team that shit themselves at every corner...

Why does it have to be an out of job manager? Show some ambition and pay up for someone like Iraola. Don’t give me “why would he leave Bournemouth”. It’s fucking Bournemouth. 12k fans every week.  There are plenty of others too. Just employ someone who looks beyond of his fucking nose to scout a new...

Just get him out of the club tonight. You can’t keep being humiliated by rivals and get away with it. Fuck off. 

Why has gone no natural centre forward despite Wilson looking sharp. Nobody wanted him to sign but he’s the best available right now so play him. Odd bloke. 

Must be people in our team that know the buttons to push on Kudus. Not like he doesn’t have history of losing his head.  Other that that, I’d love someone to put in a good old fashioned reducer, early enough that it might be let go from a yellow card, that leaves him hobbling about and goes off inju...

Brooking wasn’t a sporting director he was a non exec but was critical of the stadium move. Noble has an active role in shaping the direction of the club.  They do/did completely different roles at the club. Nobles apparent remit is: player recruitment  academy development  player well being club p...
