    Your left knacker is slightly bigger that your right knacker.
    Unless of course, that avitar is actually you.
    In which case, your left boob is bigger than your right.

    So that could be Bolton and Birmingham then in the championship.

    Looks like relegation a bit easier to avoid for some teams down there this season

    Heard that earlier thought they had sorted out their mess or at least got it in order.

    Won’t happen of course, but Rupp should flash some cash at Parky, promise him a strong budget and and say, ‘listen, about before’....

    Let’s put the band back together.

    I think in Mr Hopkin we have a good man who could do very well given time, the backing and being left to do the job, all things Parky would need. As you say Parky won't be back but I really think we have the right man here.

    To be fair to Parky his work at Bolton has enhanced his reputation, he's just the man for the situation they are in but will he feel it's time to move on?

    In seriousness, I think Hopkin is a good appointment too and I don't expect miracles overnight.

    There are parallels with when Parkinson took over - a squad high on numbers but low on quality, character and leadership. A club lacking in direction and out of touch with the fans (That in itself is a damning indictment of Rahic's leadership).

    My big worry for this season is that we've left ourselves with too much to do to catch up. Not in terms of points, but we're at least 3-4 quality players short. Maybe more. We haven't drilled the players anywhere near well enough in terms of fitness and organisation - preseason was shambolic and now, their confidence is destroyed.

    If we'd organised properly in the summer- brought Hopkin in, in June, let him manage and direct recruitment, we'd be fine. Mid table at worst, probably playoffs at best.

    As it is, we're going to be hanging our hopes on staying in the survival hunt till January and then hopefully strengthening - but is there any money to do so....?!
