    Songs for Grimes

    Bit of fun - I'm still convinced this will break down but purely to annoy the song hating puritans here my offering. To the tune of Time of Your Life by Greenday Ben Sheaf is out again, we are short in centre mid, Grimes grabs Austin by the wrist, says take me to your king So make him the...

    Where we will finish?

    Think it's fair to say expectations are trailing off rapidly. There may be disagreement on what should happen with the manager but what about expectations for the season?. With a quarter of the season gone where do we think we will end up? I think around 16th.

    Poll: Will there be a "Robins in or out" part 3 poll this weekend?

    No idea why but I feel some sense of optimism. 2-1 to us, MR gets some respite and the poll of doom is averted.

    Moulding a team in His image

    We play the game as Robins manages, as gentlemen but we are just so naive and too nice. Robins historically had to shop around for bargains and pretty much had to take what was available - so we ended up with a mixture of characters. The last three windows Robins has had significant cash to...

    The GMK thread has given me a bit of nostalgia so thought I'd see what this chap is up to these days.

    The Players

    We can blame Robins, King or whoever we like but there's no excuse for basic footballing ability or effort and that's on the players. We are in year 2 with this group and we have hit rock bottom. Barring a few exceptions like MVE my faith in the group is gone. Promotion is already looking...

    To those who want Robins gone now

    Following on from the poll that @BlueSkiesForever put up, 12% of you want Robins gone now. Those who answered out now: 1. How confident are you that King would appoint the right person? 2. Who would you give the job to? My personal take is that Robins is responsible for a lot of what's going...

    Robins will carry the can

    Robins is responsible for some of the issues you can't lay everything at his feet. Team selection/tactics/in game management: all on Robins Failure to sign CM: on King Failure to sign any loans: King New coaching system: seemingly Not MRs decision - so probably King/performance director...

    Bertie Hound vs Simms

    Very early days I know but... I think Bertie is going to become first choice at some point this season. He plays with an intensity and drive that Simms doesn't have. I like Simms so this isn't a bash simms thread, but he is so passive compared to Bassette who really led the line tonight...

    Does Swiss Tony need to get us promoted?

    Hear me out - this is a bit of a thought experiment and welcome any input. Does Doug (aka Swiss Tony) actually need, or want us to get promoted? His plan is clearly to improve the club so that he can sell it. Is he planning to sell the club to make a profit, or to recoup debts owed to him...

    ITKs

    You are going to start talking and giving up names. If you don't, there's a lot of folks could get hurt around here. And you wouldn't want that on your conscience would you? If I don't see at least one rumour from an ITK by the end of today I will get a George Smith tattoo on my balls and...

    Is this the best squad weve assemled since relegation in "01?

    Personally, I can't remember a more exciting squad and reckon this team would put most of our premier era teams to the sword.

    New Shirt Poll

    Do we like it? For me - it's nice but feel like it's not quite as sexy as some of the concept ones we've seen this past week or so.

    Adi Viveash Incident Footage

    Looks like a few of the rumours were correct about how things went down and that it was the performance director that made the decision.

    I'll fight any of you. The ITKs and twitter mongs are cucking us harder than Craig's Mrs and I can't deal.with any more transfer despair. O Hare- cucked McCallum - cucked Stamenic - ultra cucked and turned us into sissy slaves Doyle - cucked Anyone else? If anyone wants it I'll drive down and...
