so far I think we've had, with 'the right group of players' to achieve things (in his words);
the refs, and their fitness
the commitment of the players
poor recruitment
lack of professionalism in the players
lack of professionalism throughout the club
injuries
Max Ehmer individually
Max Ehmer as captain
no window to get what we really need
the previous managers very broadly
the previous managers' training regimes in particular
the coaching staff
it's not a bad list for 9 games in the job, and I might have missed some
in the spirit of bulls**t bingo, what's next on the list I wonder?

The playing surfaces
The bright floodlights
The lightness of the ball
Too many matches in a short period of time
7pm kick offs

I'm not happy about 7pm kick offs. It took me years to get used to 7.45pm kick offs, I now have to set an alarm to make sure I log on to follow at the right time!! |

Wasn't there something about the players being young and never having played in front of a crowd? That made no sense whatsoever, but that doesn't seem to matter on Planet B*****. |

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39720232So Joey blamed his ban from football from the FA for 10 years of illegal betting on a culture created by the FA themselves of which he was a victim, to a crescendo of support on Twitter. A circular argument which disappears up its own arse, much like our current relegation battle

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39720232So Joey blamed his ban from football from the FA for 10 years of illegal betting on a culture created by the FA themselves of which he was a victim, to a crescendo of support on Twitter. A circular argument which disappears up its own arse, much like our current relegation battle 1,260 bets on football matches in 10 years ... that's 1,260 more bets on football matches I have placed! And goodness, an average of £150 per bet. He's not wrong though, it's not just the players to blame - the FA and clubs do need to look at themselves and think about their own responsibility. 1,260 seemed such a high number over 10 years. Perhaps in my mind I'm still thinking in terms of football on a Saturday, with a mid-week game now and then. When in reality, football happens 7 days a week nowadays. Placing a bet on football is no longer a once of week bit of fun, filling out a pools coupon, you have the opportunity (or temptation) every day. It is far easier for gambling on football to become as addiction. So I'm going add the blame somewhere else: Sky Sports. And of course, they are heavily involved in the betting business. |

Moves to a club who have had Football Index and Mintbet as sponsors recently. That's how you show The FA that you are serious about what you said about them not upholding their responsibilities. Honestly, B***** is a bit of an idiot sometimes, but in fairness to him, it's mostly only when he's either doing something or saying something. |
