I watched the Blues last night; terrible. I like Rooney but he’s a terrible coach and looks out of his depth at that level. I read somewhere that he only had a 26% win rate in MLS and that’s National League standard! Another decision made my a club whose owners don’t understand the game.
My fellow Cov supporters singing "There's only one John Eustace" last night in tribute to our former player sacked to make way for Rooney.
If Simms and Wright somehow got their act together we would certainly be one of the best teams in the Champ this season. Some of the build up play is great but those two are woefully out of form. Sakamoto and Van Ewijk both just keep getting better and better, all looking solid except the two main strikers!
Brum have a habit of sacking competent no name managers for a bit of perceived glamour; sacked Gary Rowett when in play off places and 42% win rate and replaced with Zola (9% win rate and near relegation, before dropping Harry Redknapp in to save them with a 30% win rate. Another car crash of a club that make mine seem almost normal at times!Originally Posted by TaketheCannoli
QPR on a miraculous 3 wins on the bounce; lost 1 in 6. Performances since Ainsworth left are like night and day in difference!
hopefully maintain it and get out of the bottom three at some point; although being the comedy club that we are I'm expecting twists to the plot as per usual
A bad day at the office for Leeds last night .
Ipswich just keep going, what a season for them.
Sunderland looked very dangerous.

I've watched a lot of Sunderland games as my wife and her family follow the scum. They've been transformed under Mowbray into a front-foot, attacking team that are really good to watch. If they had a striker, any striker, they'd be higher up the league as they create loads of changes. If they had a 20 goal a season striker they might even be pushing for the top two places.
Nobody can understand why they haven't brought in a goal scorer after all this time. They also can't understand why Mowbray was sacked, especially as they clearly have no idea who they want to replace him. Yet again with 5under1and they make terrible, knee-jerk decisions that only ever harm the club. The weird thing is that every owner and board make the same stupid decisions, it's been going on for years and years.
For anyone that hasn't seen it, Sunderland til I Die is the best football docuseries I've ever seen. Go and watch it.
As a Watford supporter this season has been a revelation. We’re not going to challenge for automatic promotion but we have an outside chance of the playoffs. We haven’t got the quality of individual players anymore, but we have got a team spirit going and the players that we have are building a relationship with the fans that the overpaid mercenaries of the last five or six years could never be bothered to build. They try their best which is something we haven’t seen for a long time. Only a week to go and we’ll have made it all the way to Christmas without sacking a manager!
How on earth are Southampton not in front?
I hope this Sunderland turns up against us in the cup next week, absolutely clueless. Made a hundred passes in their own half but don’t have a clue how to get over the halfway line and not a single shot on target. Terrible.
Let's see what the January transfer window brings.
I wouldn't say know to a left back and a creative midfielder.
I watched Sunderland beat Preston 2-0 at the weekend. Sunderland are a poor team and as I mentioned earlier in the thread, struggled to scrape a draw with bottom of the league Rotherham last week. However Preston are the worst team I've seen at any professional level this season. Truly dreadful and devoid of any ideas at all.
We (Newcastle) play Sunderland in the FA Cup at their place this weekend and I'll state this now. I expect us to win that game comfortably and anything less isn't acceptable. We have international players from England, Holland, Brazil, Sweden and Slovakia throughout the team and there isn't anyone in the Sunderland team that has played against players of that quality or a team of our quality. They shouldn't be able to lay a glove on us.
A win is the minimum expectation.
For me that’s a goal.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Another calm, serene night in the life of a Leeds United fan...
We really did have a dreadful first half, and we're still in the worst position of the 3 into 2, but the Dan James goal was the icing on the cake.
Frustrating that we are an absolute winning machine (okay.. with a couple of draws thrown in all year so far) and STILL can't get the rub.
What a crazy season!!
It's relentless from all the sides up there. Win.. win.. win.
Nail biting stuff for sure.
