Bazooka Joe

It won't take long for this little bubble to pop. All it takes is a little *****. Cue Little Joe (and I don't mean the guy from Bonanza)

What next? Is someone going to propose a Blah, blah, blah chant in honour of Thunberg and Cop26?

What !!!!! No tie !!! Might be a hit for some, but It's a miss for me.

I'm just going to skirt the issue.

Pearson may be suffering from over-exhaustion after trying to polish all the useless turds in our team.

Trick or treat? Scariest mask I've ever seen.

I hear Shakespeare thinks he's a bard man.

Relegation ? That wouldn't be a surprise. Christ ! If it is really going to be a big surprise, it can only be .... Promotion ! And the only bigger surprise [or would it?] would be the return of marvellous Mark Ashton).

When's the last time Lansdown did a press conference or Q & A session ? Reckon we need to hear something from him now (otherwise it's fair to conclude he's pretty okay with the way things are going).

I think the High in the title refers to altitude (or players' salaries) rather than performance. If not, the title is a proper p*ss-take.

I feel for the 3,000 who forked out hard earned cash and travelled to witness yet another embarrassing debacle. These players don't deserve such fantastic support.

The players have got to watch out for the ref trying to even up the red card situation in the second half. Don't give him any opportunity to do so. Their lot will be on the ref's back every chance they get.

Manure have lost, so there's already a bright spot today. Bernardo Dasilva tucking in that second goal was the perfect demonstration of busting a gut to make something out of an almost impossible situation. Fear we are going to miss Atkinson big-time today. Best we can hope for is a lethargic, under-par performance from Coventry (and hopefuly a red card), but that will still probably be enough to give them a win.

He's been playing like a conked-out engine. Needs a set of jump leads to get him started. The old boys on here will be familiar with "Running-in, please pass"

A good pick-me-up for Pearson will be a City win against Coventry tomorrow. I hope the players feel the same and deliver the 3 points we desperately need.

Maybe EFL could allocate some additional points to our meagre total, just because we have been so compliant.

It will be sad to Jeff Stelling go. Great sense of humour, incredibly knowledgable and sharp as a razor. And to be fair to him, he has proudly stuck by his beloved Hartlepool through good and bad times (even though the good times war far and few between). Fortunately for him, supporting Hartlepool is far less embarrassing and humiliating than supporting the woeful Rovers.

Wouldn't surprise me if Mark Ashton was given the job. Incredibly well connected, hugely ambitious and destined for much bigger things. And soooo popular. (Factcheck true. Source: #ilovemarkashtonbymarkashton )

How do you know they are all either old or men?

When the seemingly endless head tennis was in progress, the guy next to me exclaimed "What the deuce !!!?" I told him to stop moaning and carry on eating his strawberries and cream.

Adapted to Let's go Pearson ! (F Joe Barton)

Someone Random is quite a cool name.

Let's go Brandon ! (Bryson Gray)

Pope John Pull the Turd?

They will excuse it by saying he meant to say "Hollowhead" - mind you, that's also pretty offensive.
