Claudio Ranieri has finally sorted out the mess that Juric left behind at Roma. They're unbeaten in their last 10 games. [Post edited 26 Feb 17:35]

He's a busted flush now. It happens to nearly all managers, even the best. Mourinho is hopeless nowadays. We need someone on the up; not on the way down.
The wheels of his bus have fallen off and it's now rusting in a scrapyard in Tranmere. [Post edited 26 Feb 11:58]

His last game as Saints' manager was a 2-2 draw away at Chelsea at the end of a 5-match unbeaten run. We came back from 2-0 down.
The sacking seemed harsh at the time, but Cortese was ruthless in the pursuit of success and the next 2 managers, Pochettino and Koeman, proved to be better. |

Roma sacked him after less than 2 months. |

It's the one source of pride this season. Hopefully, any potential new owners out there will see what a great fanbase we have. |

Our fans have never stopped singing. They've completely outsung the Chelsea fans the whole game. We really do have some of the best away support in the country if that's any comfort. |

Without Ramsdale in goal, we'd be losing every game by a cricket score.
There really has never been a top flight team this bad. Even lower league teams playing against Premier League teams in cup games are better than this. |

Just when you thought Juric's team selection couldn't get any worse.
Shocking. I know we've got some players in our squad who are physically incapable of playing football at a high level, but Juric seems to pick all of them. [Post edited 25 Feb 21:08]

Our next transfer window makes me think of that moment in a horror film when one of the captives, with a terrified look in their eyes, tries to warn the next victim to stay away. |

Imagine how shocking the scorelines would have been if we'd hadn't had Ramsdale in goal. It makes you wonder what will happen next season. |

This reminds me of when some of our fans turned against Sadio Mane, saying he looked miserable. Tyler Dibling is a teenager, caught in the middle of an utter shambles. He's still managed to provide some of the few highlights of this season.
He will be much better appreciated by the fans at another club, just like Mane was. Harwood-Bellis will be too. [Post edited 24 Feb 19:19]

Fans of those clubs have much higher expectations. They expect to be at or near the top, winning trophies. Our fans' expectations are very low: many would be content with just existing in the 2nd tier. Maybe that's why we attract the owners and managers that we do. [Post edited 24 Feb 18:49]

Yes. their defence during Clough's glory years was built around Larry Lloyd, who won everything in the air and, of course, up front he had Garry Birtles doing the same.
But, as Pat says, with Clough's most famous quote, he prided himself on playing a passing game and not hoofing long balls up the pitch, which is what he felt Don Revie, his predecessor at Leeds, had done. My favourite quote of his was:
"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."
Nowadays though, with the better pitches, the most important quality is pace, which is why Mo Salah is so difficult to stop. You need players who can accelerate rapidly and most of our players can't. [Post edited 23 Feb 14:38]

They've still got something we can only dream of this season: 14 points. |
