    Did he "know" anything about it?

    I'm not calling the league yet just not confident enough but there's no doubt we're in a great position to win it.

    Dont rule anything out with how gash we have been of late tbh.
    If we dont beat Southampton at home, comfortably, then I expect Maresca to be getting his P45 by tomorrow morning.

    You get a new manager if he makes a spelling mistake on the team sheet.

    Maresca might do the same as December and treat us like a lower league side in the cup using it as an opportunity to rest players.

    TBF you could make 11 changes and still stick 4/5 past us.

    While its true we have been trigger happy with our sacking gun in the last 20 years, there are some sacking I agree with and some I dont.
    Here is my view on all our sackings in the Roman and Clearlake eras.

    Ranieri - Didnt agree
    Mourinho - Didnt agree
    Grant - Didnt agree
    Scolari - Agreed
    Ancelotti - Didnt agree
    Villas Boas - Agreed
    Di Matteo - Agreed
    Benitez - Agreed
    Mourinho 2.0 - Didnt agree
    Conte - Didnt agree
    Sarri - Agreed
    Lampard - Agreed
    Tuchel - Didnt agree
    Potter - Agreed
    Pochettino - Didnt agree
    Maresca - Get rid please

    No good having six keepers (I think its actually 8 btw), if they are all ****.
    Quality over quantity

    It was courageous of your club to have a blind GK scout as a DEI hire.

    History aside - from a neutral perspective would you rather watch this or a Man United v Everton game right now?

    No brainer for me - Bournemouth, in particular, have been a revelation - just wonder if fatigue and a small squad is catching up with them ...

    ....tonight's game has 0-0 written all over it now <laugh>

    Probably the owners, they are signing players, not for the betterment of the squad, but for future investment opportunities.
    We were linked with Garnacho in January.
    WTF would we need Garnacho, who plays as a winger or as a 10, when we have oodles of players in those positions. We have Palmer and Sancho who can play as a 10, and Madueke, Neto, Nkunku and Sancho can play as wide forwards......fully equipped in those areas.
    We are crying out for a decent keeper and a striker, as Jackson, who is currently injured, is the only out and out striker really at the club, except for 19 year old Marc Guiu, who isnt getting a sniff, even with Jackson injured.
    Our worry is, and this isnt just bantz because I am replying to you Spurly, is that our owners are going to turn us into Spurs and start treating us 100% as a business and not try to compete for trophies.
