    I said Howe doesn't have the players and it's being proved right. They don't listen, or don't know what's being told. What's the identity or idea? He doesn't even look that keen on hanging around either. The body language is just not right. It's a poor fit, it's not working.

    Alarm bells were ringing with Norwich and Burnley. Cambridge was a huge red flag. Watford was a must win and he didn't even get close to winning it. That should be it for me; disastrous appointment.

    Need a Chief Exec, Staveley bought out and moved on.

    We need the right people in the right roles. It’s the same off the pitch as on.

    It’s such a mess.

    Fair enough: for the record I called the Samaritans and they agreed with me.

    Their exact words where “yes we agree after 25 minutes of you hammering him, Howe should be sacked”!

    Trippier is a world class player if we had 11 of him we'd be at the other end of the table

    Based on total ignorance of the facts. That’s the best opinions to have.

    Listening to Gerrard. He was skating his players at 0-2.. saying it how it is.

    None of this. Excuse bullshit. Howe saying we did ok and I can’t fault the players and we did what we could. Blah blah blah.

    Gerrard is a good manager. Howe isn’t.

    I love our fans. Few bad results trying to turn round the titanic and they’ve got the captain walking the plank <laugh> Has he had 100 days yet?

    Hmm I think we are just ****. He’s not done great but trying to blame someone after 100 days is absolutely pathetic for me. This is exactly why our fans get called fickle.

    He's going nowhere, that much I know. I never wanted him, but accepted it - he's just done absolutely nothing to change my opinion.

    As I say if this is how we are, you’ll struggle to get anyone interested. You’ll actually struggle to keep the owners interested. Pointless. We have one of the worst three squads in the division. I didn’t think we did at the start of the season but I’ve changed my mind. We are bang there on merit. We need a massive overhaul mid season, it’s ****ed. Each to their own but I’m not selling someone down the river after 100 days, it’s beyond moronic.

    The 28-year-old also lost possession 17 times and failed with 15 of his 54 passes

    I don't care what anyone says Bruce was picking a better 11 though.

    I think you have to give him time to get players in but I don’t think anyone can turn this round. Certainly not with this squad. We will simply end up sacking managers every 100 days. I can’t stand some of the players. It’s a game we should have won too. We missed chances. The one thing I will say say is Howe needs to do something dramatic and risk upsetting the whole squad. You’ve got Lascelles and Shelvey leading the dance and they are cowards. Shelvey is a lazy ****. The way they retreated as they coaches stood and urged them out was galling. If that is the craic, you need to rip out the rot immediately for me. Who gives a **** who it upsets? We are going down anyway.
