We need battlers, not losers

I don't think it's that simple anymore; not when there are players involved in relegation battles who wouldn't have looked out of place in a top-six squad before the latest TV boom.

Dyche tried to stick with a group of workhorses two years ago, and all it got him was relegation without the embarrassment of the serious hidings that a mentally weaker side would have taken. This time around he's added some quality, and that's what's given them a fighting chance.

Not that we should be considering the opinions of grown men who think that the MLS is real.

The title was mysteriously changed to battlers from 'illegitimate children'. Of course, you can have skilful illegitimate children.

We lost the game. Is this like the kopite alternative league table?

No.

Never mind, then.

A few Jon Snows wouldn't go amiss.

Its not hard to see what were missing.

Someone give this man Steve Walsh's job, it's as easy as that.

That was the year Blackburn won the league as well, you are right we overrun them but couldn't find the goals to go with the performance, Blackburn were booting the ball anywhere to waste time, I think Barlow got Everton's goal.

Diamond with a sweet chip.

Great goal. I remember Shearer trying to volley the ball into the top balcony with about 10 minutes to go

What you're hearing there is the sound of someone who made a massive effort to get rid of one manager because he insisted he was wasting a squad of players, whose now coming to terms with having a manager he called for who is utterly clueless - so he now says the squad are losers to cover his blushes.

Except he's calling out the board for being losers as well. Something you were doing for 5 years, as well as calling the players out all last season. You've got quite a bit in common with Ped haven't you?
