Yeah, it was shocking bad, and obviously went their way. Snicko seems a lot less reliable than Ultraedge imo.

By that I mean there was an English batsman given out in an earlier Test when the spike didn't line up and they said there's a 2 frame window, yet that seems to have been ignored now it's an Australian batsman. The spike is so sharp that it had to be ball on bat, they really should have realised that there was something not right. Extremely poor, how such a mistake could have been made, obviously could only happen in their favour.

Magic Minute: away v Man City. Saturday 20 Dec. With a bonus round.

Option to buy makes no sense for us imo.

Said before a loan deal from a prem club for a striker who is out of favour might be our best bet to try and get us out of this mess

To be honest I can't think of any Premier League strikers who are currently not getting played apart from those who are injured

Why do I have this nasty feeling that we're going to end up doing a "Haller" with Fullkrug?

Or if we do get a replacement they're going to be a "Hugill"?

I think seeking a new era outside of Moyes showed ambition, but sadly we made two disastrous managerial appointments. Lopetgui didn't seem to have a clue and his main achievement seemed to be dismantling Moyes cohesive unit and creating discontent.

I am not sure of anyone who thought Lopetgui was the name they wanted coming in but Potter was a gamble worth taking for many. The question was were we getting Brighton Potter, a manager capable of bringing a team of low cost players into a unit to establish premier league consistency, or the Chelsea Potter who had the worst record for Chelsea in recent times despite a wealth of talent at his disposal. It turns out Potter may not really be much of a football manager. We gave him a fair amount of time and a whole summer window but he amounted to nothing.

Now Nuno has come in and taken over a team that was bought by others and in my view getting the best out of them that could be expected. Had he come in after Moyes and been given the funds Lopetgui wasted I think that ambition may have got it's reward.
