This club can't win.

The Weir experiment didn't work, we're in the bottom 4, yet some decide on the day that we appoint a new manager that after his first interview that club isn't ambitious enough!

This season is pretty much a write off, pressure is off for me now, just go out there and play to your strengths, start winning games and see where it takes us!

Took me an age to read that. My eyes kept veering off to the left for some reason.....
 

So, I've noticed the most recent modern abuse of our spoken language is to start every fucking sentence with a meaningless 'So'. I can't wait for "So, I would of...."
I think Aussie cricketers started it and it's spread everywhere...
 
After Bradford away I turned to my mate and said "we are going down" we were that bad. Under Weir we looked doomed, reminded me so much of the 2010/11 relegation season.

If you saw the 'performance' at Carlisle, you would have been thinking of more than one relegation under Weir. It wasn't as good as that
 
As has been mentioned before, there is simply no way of telling how we will do under Clough. Managers that we got most excited about (Robson, Weir, Kendall) ended up being crap, while more underwhelming appointments (Porterfield, Warnock and even Blackwell) did OK.

Yes! It irritates me beyond reason and is now in my top three verbal annoyances. It hasn't yet caught up with the Australian interrogative, or the current No.1, the ubiquitous use of "like", when it has absolutely no function in 99% of current use and is at best an affectation.

Look, I was going to give you a 'like' but I shall refrain for fear of causing offence.

You must get really pissed off visiting Cumbria.
 
Anybody who thinks we can't get relegated could be in for a big shock.
Bristol City were one of the title favourites and they're bottom of the league.
If you don't win games, you get relegated. Doesn't matter what name you are, what players you have, how many fans you have or anything else. If you don't win games, you're on a one way street to poosville.

And nearly every sentence of every newscast on Sky or BBC seems to start with "Now ......" or "Well ....."
 

Yes, he was a former Premier League manager who had played "proper football" with Everton. Everyone was creaming their pants over his arrival and the "change of ethos" it was going to bring. But the biggest impact he had was on the drinks cabinet in the boardroom.
 
Kendall, Ebbrell, Beattie Weir........Should have know, we always end up with the wrong end of the stick in our dealings with Everton...

One of the most irritating Canadian affectations is the use of the word "whatnot" in virtually every sentence.

My pet hate is using "bathroom" instead of toilet. One of the many things that stops the USA being a civilised country is their insistence on urinating in the bath, no it appears people are starting to do it over here.

How about using hoof instead of excited?
