What worries me is within the timeframe the board are working on, it probably does all seem a bit kneejerk. Coates was saying on December 15th that he didn't know what the fuss about. The level of complacency at the club is just mind blowing. This has come as a surprise to them. Spot on. Many of us were fully behind Hughes at the start of the season, but also fully aware that there were some major issues that needed to be addressed. Despite a relatively decent start against tough opposition, the challenges were never really addressed and it’s been clear since mid-October that the decline has escalated. If the leadership of the club are only now seeing that there are some major problems, it’s just negligence of the highest order and indicates that we truly are about to fall head-first into the pool of shit that we’ve been treading through for months.

Decent player who would be infinitely more effective if he had a top quality central midfielder alongside him.

This. His single biggest mistake for me, and he still hasn’t fixed it. A top quality N’Zonzi replacement would make a fucking huge difference. How much as the replace Zonz mission cost so far ? It’s costing us far more on the pitch than it is in terms of bank balance.

Continually failing to replace N'Zonzi. This. His single biggest mistake for me, and he still hasn’t fixed it. A top quality N’Zonzi replacement would make a fucking huge difference.

Maybe now people will stop harping on about the 18 million we paid for Wimmer. In the current climate, 18 million quid gets you fuck all.

Back in the Motherland for a few days with family over Christmas, and just back from an underwhelming day out at Huddersfield with my lad. Happy not to lose, but pretty depressing stuff. Worlds away from the last time I went up to Huddersfield during the Macari era....was all just a bit blah.
Heading out to catch up with a few old faces at The Basement tonight, hoping to hear some good vibes but my god, Stoke is a bit depressing these days, innit? Perhaps it’s hazy memories and nostalgia playing tricks, but it’s all far grimmer than I remember it being even 10-15 years ago.

Old school Roger Sanchez vibes. Reminds me of early-nineties Saturday nights up North......Back II Basics, Hard Times, Love 2 Be. Sweet, shimmying Yorkshire lasses looking like dancing angels.....and then shattering the illusion once the music stopped and you heard 'em open their gobs.

At least we haven't dropped a bollock this bad... That looks like Tony Pulis’ vision of the perfect footballer. The capped one would be spunking his trumpet over this if he had a job. If that doesn’t scream “Come get me, Tone”, then I don’t know what does.

Never a penalty, but it changes nothing. Their keeper didn’t have a save to make.

Though he got off lightly. Fucking pantomime nonsense. I don’t know who we are any more.
Somebody should have strolled on the pitch and chinned the cunt.

Not watched the game ..... does 0-3 reflect the game as a whole? I’m guessing we’ve had 80% possession, and West Ham could and should be at least 6-0 up.

This is fucking painful to watch. There just no way Hughes can survive this, no way at all.

Ramadan is clueless and needs to come off at half time. He looks like a less effective Richard Cresswell.
Fletcher has given the ball away so many times, I’ve lost count.
Choupo and Affellay On for the second half please.

Jesus Christ - that Antonio dive is almost worse than the one for the penalty.

Referee has a perfect view and watches the cunt take a dive......and penalty. What an utter prick.

Have we all gone soft? He deserves a proper Kris Commons, Steve Cotterill style reception. Snakes don't like it when we turn nasty This. The full treatment. I want to see him climb inside his own areshole, Danny Rose style. If he scores and celebrates like a cunt in front of our fans, somebody get on the pitch and set him ablaze.

An extra hour of beer consumption to fuel the reception for the snake. I like it.

Up until the Spurs game, I was solid B. After that absolute shit show, I’m getting closer to becoming a C. He’s been given the benefit of the doubt for the last 18 months, but enough is enough. I just don’t see how a defeat on Saturday will result in anything but the sack.

They don’t necessarily have a better squad, but they do have a squad that has been built to suit a specific game plan and style of play - and that’s the reason they are doing much better than us. They have players who are suited to the positions they are asked to play in, they are well drilled and they have a solid game plan that they execute very well. They also Have character and bottle. . Everything that our more “talented” squad is missing, they have in spades. With that said, we’ll beat them 2-0 tonight
