Wolves slink past Bristol City, plucky Leeds overcome giants Harrogate, Liverpool don’t exactly annihilate Stanley, Sunderland exit early as usual and the real City trounce Salford. Decent afternoon.

Fair enough. Relax, M. Clement, we don’t expect the Championship just get these idlers to play every week not just when they feel like it, plenty of goals at least 90% victories and the Cup.

Villa woke up after 63 minutes, might have scored twice before getting two and should have had at least one more then became fragile in added time and nearly gave away two. Strange.

Villa playing like Rangers. Slow, laboured build up, constantly passing the ball off the park, shaky at the back and a single striker not able to do much against a six man defence.

Not one of these advocates has a solution. Self-comforting arm waving. What’s needed is a young Fergie determined to prove himself but the actual Fergie’s first real managerial post was Aberdeen. He’d already cut his teeth and it didn’t matter if he failed.

The English of everybody living in Glasgow gets worse over time.

Rousseau went to the trouble of creating a dedicated topic for this.

This time last year Clement was doing fine. This season he has not done very well at all. Is that him or the material at his disposal? Too many players are mentally weak. There is not one thrawn bugger in the entire squad and you need two on the field. I can’t remember the last such. Ryan Jack was the nearest. No new manager is going to do any better . He’ll face the same problem until better players are found so sack him and where does the payoff money come from? Others will have to go too because a new man will want his own hangers on then there’s the question of compensation to whichever club the new chap is poached from. Easy, some will say. There are managers out of work. Get one of them. But they’re out of work for a reason. They’re duffers, in which case we don’t want them or they choose to be idle pending a lucrative vacancy which rules out Rangers. Nobody is accepting or celebrating second best just because they accept reality.

Joint award Tav/Dessers surely.

Phantom match. Wolves are away to Bristol City tomorrow and that’s as far as they’re going to get unfortunately. Pompey are at Wycombe tonight.

Same here. I suspected spalpeen skullduggery. Probably something more mundane.

Early days. Lot of time left. Wolves have spent about £16M on a player from Rheims.

Potter is a long term project suited to clubs with no immediate ambition.

Leeds police on red alert to control an invasion of as many as twenty of the notorious Harrogate Betty’s Tearoom ultras. Anyone displaying provocative serviettes at the match will be ejected. Home fans declining tickets, afraid of being bombarded with sugar cubes.

Willie Hamilton - Maestro. A blend of Ian McMillan and Gazza so long as Stein kept him indoors on a Friday night.

Beaten in the 1956 semi by Rheims and Raymond Kopa before Kopa went to Real.

No longer mythical. Legendary!

Bellingham should stay at Sunderland. In present circumstances Palace would be a mostly sideways, slightly upward move.

With Biffo the Bear as Assistant.

Relax. All of the awkward squad has voted and it’s still 100%.

You can’t as a fan. You can as a shareholder. You must propose a resolution for removal of the directors you want to get rid of. You’ll have to persuade a majority of the other shareholders to agree with you. I speculate that there is no chance of success.

Mythical.

Agreed. My old mother was a devotee.

Ah. Now I see what you mean.

The Baxter philosophy. It works better if Souness and Roberts are running the defence.
