I climbed Scafell Pike today. It was long hot and high up but I didn’t watch any of the city game so I feel like a winner.

Drunken Ratings:
O'Donnell: 6 Not too worried from what I saw. Looked like a decent keeper for this level.
Riley: 4 Looked lost and rightly hooked to make good on Edin's pre-match tactical fuck up. Might be decent but needs a game a full back instead of honouring our tradition of square pegs in round holes. O'Connor: 6 Ponderous but won a few. NKP: 4 Off his fucking tits. An absolute liability. Mellor: 5 Anonymous which made him decent in a back line that generally disgraced itself. Chiksen: 2 Simply not a pro footballer. Fuck off you shit cunt.
Scannell: 5 Quiet. Needs playing as a genuine winger instead of honouring our tradition of square pegs in round holes. Payne: 6.5 MOM. Occasional glimpses of class in a team of utter shithouses. Akpan: 5.5 Not up to much but at least made the occasional tackle. Wright: 3 Awful. Scared of the ball, shifts it on quickly then stands still. Never shows for it, happy to fly under the radar. We've replaced Dieng with Dieng. Cunt.
Doyle: 4 Played as a lone striker which is exactly the role fans of his previous clubs identified as his weakness. Needs playing as part of a front two instead of honouring our tradition of square pegs in round holes.
Subs: Seedorf: 4 big on running, little contribution. Robinsion: 4 See Seedorf.
Manager: Collins/Edin/Abbott/The Other One: 2 What a fucking mess. Played the formation that very nearly fucked us away, at home. I really don't want to hear about how any credit is due for trying to fix a mess of their own making after we're already fucked. Absolute shithouse tactics. If your aim is to dispel any accusation of amateurishness then amateurish tactics aren't the way to go about it. A total mess from start to finish and not the tactics of someone who knows football. Fuck off and don't pull that shit again.

Our recruitment was good on an individual basis but an absolute mess when you try to fit them into a system which actually works. We brought in players with the intent of playing them in formations straight out of football manager and are now at a point where we can't even play a balanced 4-4-2 without sacrificing quality or playing players out of position. Have the basics covered first you set of amateur bastards.

One of the things I learned today was that Adam Chiksen is genuinely scared of a football. I mean shit-your-pants terrified of a leather, spherical object. It's ok though because he puts in the occasional half decent cross so he's here for life and a final salary pension.

Saying the shit that makes all the difference but couldn't have been said five minutes previously in the dressing room: If we were playing Real Madrid, I could maybe give this some leeway, but never liked this carry on. Smacks of them needing to really prove their togetherness. Why? Just get it done in the game. As you say, last minute speeches and gee-ing up the lads, do it in the dressing room surely?

As you say, last minute speeches and gee-ing up the sexy boys, do it in the dressing room surely? The entire point is that it's public. It serves no purpose other than a demonstration for the fans. To me it shows nervousness and vulnerability; it's showy, unnecessary and worthless but the gompers will say it shows how the squad are together and what a good captain Wright is. These eat-any-old-shit cunts are the type that deserve the timeshare they got sold for a fortnight in Chernobyl in January.

Barnsley are good team but wtf. 1) no shots on target. 2) Kai Bruenker still on bench. 3) The formation. 4) The defending. 5) Starting with 3 centre halves, one on the bench, Kilgallon not in the squad to end up with Chickson playing there. 6) Spend all the budget on wingers and play a formation with no wingers. 7) Tiny Jack Payne falling over the whole of the first half Billy Clarke/ Mcarten part 2. Still no idea how to play that type of player. 8) Doyle on his own. No chance. 9) Josh Wright seems to be still on his stag do with his celebity mates from Geordie Shore or wherever.

10) Seedorf. Running fast straight into the opposition then falling over. Surely Patrick and Gibson can do this role for cheaper. 11) It could be worse if Edin hadn’t bottled his plan. At least all the new signings look like professional footballers.

That 2nd goal perfectly sums up NKP. Back tracking, soft as shit, scared to make a challenge, useless shit twat.
He may be thinking 'don't dive in as he may skip passed me' but if you're gonna let him just waltz passed you anyway you may as well just fucking jump in you prick.

It's ok though because he puts in the occasional half decent cross so he's here for life and a final salary pension. There was a moment when he was stood in a relatively advanced position, in space, on the touchline and Wright (I think) was about to pass it to him, only for Chicksen to point at someone else i.e. "don't pass it to me skip". Wright didn't pass it to him and instead passed backwards/sideways. That fucked me right off. We can't have players who are this mentally weak playing in the first team.

He beat O'Conner for pace on the counter and peeled towards the back post, Chicksen spotted him, had a look at him galloping into space at the back post, had a look at 2 to 3 of his team mates who where half heartedly trying to stop the cross to Adeboyejo but somehow still decided to join in and become another defender sucked towards the ball leaving the fella completely unmarked to inevitably score.

It will be interesting to see how long the supporters give Collins to bed in a settled team and formation. At the moment he's throwing the jigsaw pieces around and seeing what fits. Fans aren't gonna put up with no efforts on goal for very long. Worryingly in his interview he didn't think we were that far behind Barnsley yesterday, he might need the earliest wake up call i've seen a manager have. If he doesn't go with two up top and a back four on Saturday then he's clearly ignoring the alarm bells. Lets see if has any nous.
