Dont forget the salaries. They have a bigger impact on profit and loss than any other outgoing at a football club.

Slightly different take on it

Was a bit taken aback at the scoreline, but then again Wolves are on a bit of a roll, especially away from home (more points gained away than at Molineux)...it's still too tight to call, a couple of wins/losses and everything changes...like you said in an earlier post, Hammers will stay up because there are 3 worse teams than them.

Well that was the case too when Sheffield United went down (and a truly dreadful Fulham team stayed up). And there's often some really weird results in the final games of the season. It would not surprise me if Portsmouth had a good run now it is too late...

certainly did, and these were just the ones declared and not hidden in the Cayman Isles by Redknapp and Storrie!

5 losses (all very one sided) in a row including two crucial six pointers at home. I think Dowie will give Hull some momentum. We've a better squad than most teams in the bottom half - the buck has to stop with Zola and Clarke. Zola interviewed last night sounded like a broken man way out of his depth...he's gone from a kind of mantra of smiley optimism to broken with no anger inbetween. I think he should go today, not sure if he will.

Not really. But for those of us who remember just how much they completley dominated the domestic game in the 70s and especially 80s then at first (ie a few years ago) I was quite happy when they stopped winning league titles and cups almost unchallenged and gave others a chance! I don't believe they'll go into complete 'meltdown' as their heritage and 'brand' (pukes) and global fanbase is far too big for that. I think i'd be far happier if they won the Premiership next year than Man U or Chelsea say.

As I said yesterday, I saw the Bolton defeat and it has to be the worst performance I have seen from an Irons side in 25 years. Last night was as bad and the body language all over the pitch was wromg.


It is not even the case that we can play a more robust form of football to help our case, we simply do not have the players.


We sold badly and bought badly, I have no idea what players like Kovac, Franco, jimenez etc. are doing there, don't even get me started on Savio. This is Zola (and Nani's) team, bought in very difficult circumstances, yes, but a shower nonetheless.


Zola is a great guy and was a great player, his Ideas on how football should be played are admirable but this is the real world and it is time for him to leave.

Yes, and apparently the Pope wears a funny hat.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
