Comfortably seen off by Newcastle. They were happy to let us have the ball. They're not even great.
Comfortably seen off by Woolwich in the same style.
Comfortably seen off by Brighton who blew us away in the 2nd half.
Comfortably seen off by Palace.
Comfortably seen off by Ipswich.
Comfortably seen off by Bournemouth.
Battered by Chelsea.
Beat a struggling Villa.
Beat a struggling Man United.
Beat a struggling West Ham.
Beat Brentford who never win away.
Beat a seriously struggling Man City who are in worse form than us!
Beat an appalling Everton.
We haven't won a single match in the league against an in form team.
Let that sink in.

I’m usually happy when we sack managers because it’s a relief after shit football but it won’t be this time because we all know it changes nothing. However, if we bring in a manager who is attacking but also can set up a team not to be open then surely it has to be better. Ultimately though levy will fuck it up like always.
You're the sort of person who, if you were an owner, would get your team relegated because you refused to change a manager who NEEDED to be changed.
Levy is a cunt for skimping on wages but even with the wage bill and transfer budget we have, we should be doing much better. And that’s on Ange
Yeah agree 100%
I’m not even remotely interested in the premier league these days. I don’t check the scores, I don’t even bother with my FPL team. The whole competition is stale.
I’d fucking love to see us have a good go at the Europa.
I’ve been thinking this but been too scared to say it. Brenton Rodgers would have this squad performing better. Scary.
Aussie bin man vs classy, tactical managers schooled in European football.
Good luck.

We're 9th in that. What makes you think we have a hope in hell?
Yeah it’s still low odds but more exciting than the prem.
Don't hold your breath
100% it will be better, this is as bad as it will ever be. yes, levy is an incompetent cunt, we all know that! thats why this guys here in the first place. silva and iraola are the obvious prem ones, go and get either of them and it will instantly be a hell of a lot better.
Said it before we actually employed Ange.
Anyone who was enamoured with his CV is, quite frankly, dumb as fuck.
Hiring him for what he won in Australia, Japan and fucking Celtic is literally the same as getting someone from league 2 because they got promoted and won a paint trophy
Ange isn’t coaching the team. He is coaching the coaches and selecting the tactics ( giggle ) The very real problem is, @ 60 and with his record being so/so, he does not seem to have much credibility when things unravel. From Ange, looking down we have Cliff Jones’ grandson and Daniel Levy’s adopted son ( Mason ).
Do we really accept that World Cup winners, international stars and top premier league players are really motivated out of a generational slump by that chain of command. It’s absurd.
Iraola for me we cant get poch back.
We’ve had 2 of the best managers in the game in the last 5 years who specialise in the exact details you mention above, and neither of them could do fuck all at this football club.
Ange has his flaws, there’s no doubt, but no manager is going to get this team challenging until the poison at the top of the club is removed.
We’ve had 5 managers in 5 years. The club is an absolute rudderless mess.
Why are you asking the fans to come up with a winning manager? That's what that fraud Levy is getting paid millions for isn't it?
Why can't we do the basics at this club? Every other premier league club can take the sting out of the game, waste time, sit in, frustrate and we have the perfect team to counter with pace.
That's why I'm saying Anyone can do better than this fraud he is a pub manager.
Some on here are getting on like a girl who just went two messy public breakups and is determined to make this new fella work, no matter how bad it gets, to save face.
I think we ALL want a long term manager but let's face it, they aren't exactly the norm anymore in football. Let's say we stick with Ange and he comes good, his record shows he moves clubs as soon as a better offer comes in. Nothing about his record tells me he's here for the long run regardless.
