I don’t know you talk to JI, but if you’re like me most of the company you keep is of a similar political leaning to yourself (which is why you keep company with them in the first place). So I guess you hear what you want to hear.

I’m a member of the European Movement and I can tell you that the issue may have moved to the back boiler but it’s still bubbling away there.

The guy is a complete and utter one of them!

I’d call him a c#*t, but I won’t because he lacks both warmth and depth!

[Northumbiron]

Hope you didn’t have money on those results Rene!

I’d sooner have Hilton back!

Would you rather we drew 0-0 or lost 3-4? Spurs fans will no doubt be debating this tonight.

Big Ange is getting stick this evening after his boys let a 2-0 lead evaporate into a 3-4 defeat. “Too stubborn to change things” being one observation.

Butler has been criticised for stubbornly sticking with his uber-defensive lineups but is being completely gung-ho like Postecoglou worse?

I’ve always been in the camp of “if you can’t win, don’t lose” but putting the emphasis on attack rather than defence will win you the odd game.

Tricky one that even the top bosses struggle with at times.

ITMA!

Oh goody, another book review.

I wonder what he’s got written on his rainbow armband?

[Northumbiron]

Firstly you can forget about the Admiral. He’s got a better job back here in the NE.

Secondly I’m with RB on this one. Michelle gambled on Butler back in the summer. He was already on the payroll, so was a cheap option. Maybe he was given a certain number of games to get us top of the table with the promise of a renegotiated contract? Just a guess, I have no idea really.

But he was part of the coaching staff under Dean, so in effect part of the problems we had last season. The appointment of Schofield now looks to have worsened the situation rather than improve it.

Add to this the fact that we have lost our kingpin in midfield and two other decent players in Elliot and Ogle and it’s probably not surprising that we now rely on Roberts’s goals and Fitzsimmons’s saves to earn us points.

Butler is looking like he was the wrong person for the job in the first place, but hey-ho! Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Butler losing the support of the fans doesn’t particularly bother me. It’s losing the support of the players that’s a concern.

If that’s true of course.

Not an exact science.

Wilcox n Cox also

I was just listing the successful ones IFA, although you could argue Wilcox was successful up to a point. Certainly Knill and Cox struggled and Butler is currently making a complete dog’s breakfast of it.

IMO our best managers have always been motivators. Don’t think we’ve had anyone who fits that description recently.

19 people? Wow! That really is unanimous.

We’re bound to be crap lining up with only 9 players!

Were there boos at the final whistle or had everyone fallen asleep?

[Northumbiron]

Aye, doesn’t fill me with confidence.

[Northumbiron]

We were like a pub team in a pub league playing on a rugby pitch! If we have any intention of getting out of this division we seriously need to up the ante.

Another brace for him, so it’s a positive that he’ll be head-hunted in January.

Hang on a tick! Could this be 4-4-2?
