    Was Pep's idea to negotiate a new contract extension so he gets more compo when he gets fired. There is clearly something majorly wrong there. Fuckin' love it!!!

    He missed Eccles's cross for Norman's goal too. Possibly our best player!

    How the heck did 8-2 Steelers lose to 2-8 Browns? Local derby in a blizzard might have had some influence on the result. Our soft footballers would have have the game called off in those conditions!

    I'm pretty sure my support for the Eagles slipped through the net too. In the US at least, Birds fans seem to be on a par with Millwall on the "no-one likes us, we don't care" scale! Don't know why.

    If his performance against Philly a couple of weeks ago is anything to go by (8 sacks, was it?), he wouldn't be an upgrade for any team in the NFL right now! But was most of it down to a very poor O-line???

    I watched the highlights of the Vikings-Titans game. So many unforced errors. Was going to say earlier that i thought the NFC Championship game would likely be an all North contest, but MN must have had a really easy run of games to be only a game behind Detroit!! Ravens-Steelers was another...

    They tried to diversity by getting Habitat (another failing company) and Laura Ashley embedded in their operations. It was never a truly DIY store. And their previous cock-ups including the sale to Bunnings - it's been managed badly for years

    Lions totally destroyed the Jags. Eagles struggled to get past them a couple of weeks ago, which might be some kind of benchmark. Goff is well ahead of Hurts as MVQB. Good win for the Bills, making KC look mediocre.

    Things that annoy you

    That never seems to worry people who make podcasts. I dread to think how much the BBC spends on football-related podcasts that only a handful of people will listen to, and for which the presenters will get paid a small fortune. "My mate the footballer" starring Callum Wilson and Joe Wilkinson...

    Was our success due to Robins or was it actually Vivash?

    I think he is saying "small fish, big pond" for a lot of the time (top tier), then bigger fish, smaller pond during Robins' first tenure. Implying that the same management set-up would never have worked in the top league, therefore he wasn't the most successful post-war manager. At least, i...

    Was our success due to Robins or was it actually Vivash?

    Very much doubt he was anywhere close to being in the running for England.

    If he's responsible for the now-ubiquitous use of Group rather than squad and team, i'm gonna hunt him down and hurt him bad!!!

    Was our success due to Robins or was it actually Vivash?

    The solution to whether that may be correct is how Robins gets on in his next role (presumably without Viveash), hopefully with a patient Board. If he only ever achieves L1 mediocrity, we might have a better idea.

    Was our success due to Robins or was it actually Vivash?

    You have to admit that the start of the performances/results going down the toilet coincided with the departure of Lawrence and Viveash, who worked together with Robins to achieve the success that we had in recent years. The appointment of the new coaches has not reversed that. Whether that was...
