Bees were always going to lose today, normaly lose at Yeovil anyway so was a certainty following the Chelsea game.
Lucky that nearly everyone else lost as well, a certain Tranmere fan must be rather unhappy tonight. |

Bournemouth the team I fear most, my current tip is then to come up automatically with us.

Co-incidentally around the time you didn't sack McDermott.
I am biased, because he's a Gooner (at heart) and a crashingly good bloke too, but it's an obvious point that's often ignored: stability is the key for sustained success.

Lyon pioneered the more long-term Director of Football role to give a bit of stability when there's a high turnover of managers. It's working now at Swansea and West Brom, but for whatever reason it's only ever got bad press in England.

Actually it was that Portsmouth moved to introduce it when it was a recent innovation and Harry Redknapp quit over it. The media being serial 'arry arse-lickers immediately concluded that it was a stupid idea and have held that opinion ever since. Last edited by Uppercut; 03-02-2013 at 08:01 AM. |

The fact that Warburton turned down the job at West Brom and has a really close relationship with our owner suggests that he will stay for the long term regardless of managers coming and going. |

Always understood the Bale critics, probably have been one of them myself but you have to admit that he is doing rather brilliant things on an increasingly frequent basis.
Holtby looks really good as well, their inability to buy a striker is just ridiculous though. |
