Just got my Ryanair reminder for my flight over on Sunday. After watching that display on Saturday therel be an empty seat on that flight. No way am Im wasting couple of hundred quid to watch that s**te this wknd. never thought id miss a game but shows how bad things are at present.

I have to say, having got the access to the post-match presser at Leicester the other day, RM looked like he'd given in. Totally.

And no, he didn't flower the performance. Actually said it how it was. Unfortunately for him it's too late, and it's what he vilified Baines for a few weeks back (which I think was when the squad turned en mass on him)

He's tells the players they have been poor but never admits to his own role in preparing them for the match, never says he could have done something himself different or better.

Please go today, give us our pride and optimism back.

Not many teams can get two other clubs instantly relegated with one single inept performance. No doubt RM will try and chalk that up in the credit column.

Phenomenal intensity in our efforts to laugh at Geordies.

He does like giving his fans what they want

I'm not going to criticise the man anymore. We all know his flaws and it's clear that he's not the right man to take us forward. He's lost the players and the fans and there's no coming back from that.

The criticism now needs to be aimed at the board. Specifically whoever is deciding to wait to sack him. Should have happened after the Derby. Could have happened at Christmas to be honest. It's their job to remove Roberto for his good and ours, but instead they stay silent. It's a disappointing start to Moshiri's era.

Moshiri era starts with new manager.

Hopefully today will finally see the curtain pulled down on this farce.

Why is today the day?

I think the decision to allow him a dignified exit at the seasons end, will be reviewed and balanced off against the prospect of Sunday being a complete embarrassment for both the club and the manager.

I think he'll go today. We'll see.
