Hope the Rags find some cajones before they play the Dippers at Klanfield.
If not it is three easy points for the Dippers and a massive boost to their goal difference.

Rag fans have barely gotten off the train from Buckinghamshire

Rose's are red
Pencils are blunt
Luke Shaw didn't play today
He is still a fat cunt

Superb

Yep! Also the pale pele...

There are massive problems right the whole way through that club, they are manifesting themselves on the field. They will get nothing from that game.

Teams don't simply fail or fall apart. Team failures are only a reflection of the failures of a club, and we are seeing that at the rags, just as eventually we saw that under the Swales era at City.
The rags are falling apart from the inside out and buying players or changing managers may delay the implosion but as things are, a rags' implosion would seem inevitable.
Taggart may be many things but he is not an idiot. He saw what was happening first hand and got out on a personal high that he knew he could no longer sustain.
He knew his story was over and so were the rags glory days. Gollum,Butthead, Maureen were all reasonable managerial choices but in truth, they had no chance of succeeding at a club that was rotting from the inside. Ollie was given a broken down bus and poor Wreck it Ralph is the current bus driver, albeit only temporary, that is being hung out to dry.
Almost all too familiar with our later days of Swales and the long long list of victims he brought in to take the blame for the teams faiings to mask his own and the club's rotting infrastructure.

Their problem is that they stopped being a football club where football was the focus and the commercial side was the supporting act to facilitate football success. They became a business where the focus was on maximising profit and as the CEO of their parent company said at a meeting of shareholders;- "The playing of football is merely coincidental to the business of Manchester United."

For us,their current owners are a blessing. Maximising profit not football is their sole focus. That and draining the bank balance to fill their own pockets.
Long may that continue...all the way down to some non league abyss, where their their club shop can sell videos of All Their Yesterdays.

100% spot on.
I would add also that since Taggart left, the rags spent half of their time trying to steal our transfer targets and stop us, but without actually thinking that those players would actually fit there.
Most of their targets were footballers that were linked with us and in most cases would have been better in a system like ours.
So they are stuck with the wrong players, with a huge paycheck.

Their own fault.
