Only second time I've ever left before the final whistle.

 

Shit from start to finish

 

I didn't go up until the 68th, still left as the 2nd went in.

Fair play to the Oxford fans, joined in well. The highlight of the day. If Ivan was tuning in then, hope he turned it off straight after

That was a fucking amazing away day for them. They were buzzing and absolutely loved it.

 

Ref was a cock. Slowed the game down so much and had a serious power trip.

Th'East Midlands Whites are just back and are drinking heavily and reflectively. Reflecting on the fact that it's 30 years since I last saw us still spiralling down whilst in the 3rd tier. Reflecting on the fact that between the %of the ST and the petrol costs I've just paid £45 to experience such execrably moribund pissfroth - from the performance on the pitch to the Phoenix Nights-esque set up of the club. Thus we have an announcer who couldn't string a sentence together trying to pun his way though the móng-catch, attempting to big up two "legends" - one of whom I barely remember and one who fucking works here, and tempting us with the delights of a "luxury" pie hamper or £20 at the Red Lion; and then after he's shuffled off and the players are back on, the music keeps going for the first minute of the half. I could almost hear Brian Potter screaming "get it off, get it turned off" while waving frantically. 3145 days ago we knocked Athletico Madrid out of Europe. On that day, Oxford were basking in the light of a recent 1-0 win over Droylsden, in the Conference, in front of an attendance only slightly bigger than the number of travelling fans we took to Madrid.

Fuck it.

Just.

 

This.

 

 

A sobering, clinical and damning assessment of the current state of the club.

 

Fucking hell.

Fans like you don't deserve any better.

 

Mick, Stevie, all your fault lads. Suck it up.

4 minute interview.

 

Swaying like a drunk.

 

Body language awful.

 

Out of his depth.

Noticed that meself his body language was that of naughty kid who was being questioned, never looked at the camera, looking around like a paranoid smackhead, and like you say rocking like a pisshead, beaten man syndrome.

Sobering? Sure Satan would take exception to that.

Couldn't make it to the game today, but just seen the goals. Their second goal... Never mind the shite ball played back to Moxey (who was that?), or the fact that Moxey dived in like a nob and didn't get anywhere near the ball. But on the rebound, there were not one, but TWO Oxford players there to get onto the lose ball, with no Bolton player to be seen. Ok, it's the last minute of the game and we have players up their end to get the equaliser, but that shouldn't happen surely.

Time to be ruthless with poor managers. We've suffered for that in the last 5 years. Dump him and continue the search. They all seem to be able to talk a good game, but who can deliver. It can't get much lower or more depressing than this

Same old people that have been the first to call for the heads of everyone in the last ten years. Arseholes.

Sacking managers brings success. Everyone knows that.

Keeping failing ones. That a recipe for success, is it?

Managers used to get a couple of seasons at least. Now its two games if they are lucky.

 

And we will only end up with another manager fans want out after 5 games. The manager of this club isn't a magic quick fix in our situation.

Fuck it, appoint one on a week by week rolling contract. Once we've paid this one and all his staff, that's all we can afford anyway. Shit for brains.

Were 11 games in, we have injuries, no money and were still under a transfer embargo.

 

If you pot him, who do you bring in? And don't say BSA cos it aint happening.

Stop talking sense.

 

Fuck me.

 

This has fuck all to do with a genuine need to change managers. It's all down to people jostling for position in the "I told you so" crowd.

 

Nothing warms the cockles of an internet hero more than referring back to an old post that proves they called it.

 

As Carlos says - a new manager every time we lose is the only solution.

I feel a little sorry for Parkinson and I believe he will sort things out given time. The one thing he has learnt is that some players can raise their game for the odd one or two matches but their consistent level is at best this league and possibly the one below. Step forwards at least half our first team starters! I was also taken in by our start and only now are our players reverting to type. Realistically what many posters said before the start, mid table this season would be an achievement with more of the under performers/high earners shown the door at the end of the season. We can then build from there. Here's hoping!

Fair shout Spider, maybe I'm just a bit naive and old fashioned. :)
