What an insightful analogy to our current situation (although, obviously some would vociferously deny the "lucky" part....not that they're "entitled" to have a better looking barmaid or anything, I guess it all depends where you drink?)
l a bit of a minefield that. As I found out last summer.

I was in a pub in Sheffield waiting to be served when a young lad behind the bar carrying a couple of crates walked by & asked if I wanted him to serve me. I was in a good mood & thought I'd do him a favour by not saying yes & making him put his load down only to have to pick it up again 2 minutes later.
What can I say? I'm a nice bloke.

" I'll wait for the barmaid mate thanks, no worries "

He then decided to put down the crates & inform me that 'barmaid' is now an obsolete term. She is a server or a bartender.

During the course of this lecture another bloke, obviously the landlord, had emerged through a door at the back of the bar. Just in time to catch the tail end of this social studies lecture.

" OK " I said to the lad. & pulled a card from my wallet. " This is a debit card ( I put it back in the wallet) I was going to use it to buy a pint. Then I was going to ask for a lunch menu. Then another pint. At a guess I'd say about 30 quid would have come off it. It probably still will, but it'll do it down the road at that place with the blue sign, whatever it's called. So cheers for the life lesson. Only fair I gave you one straight back "

& off I went. But as I walked off I caught the eye of the landlord, who's face had turned a pretty ominous shade of red & was staring hard at the young lad. I couldn't help it, I really couldn't. As I caught his eye I said " Is there another word for **** these days as well? " To his great credit he just said " No mate. A **** is still a **** " At which point the barmaid (sic) put the full stop in by bursting out laughing.

On reflection I think that might have been the point at which I officially entered the crusty old git club. Never to return. Comes to us all I guess.
 
and potentially to be be replaced by Frank Lampard. Be careful what you wish for
jury is still put with Frank imo. He was not disastrous with Chelsea first time around and I think he did reasonably well in the championship.

I did like Mark Robins and how he set up his teams , you can't keep selling your best players and expect to compete.

But have a ****ing shortlist this time, then sack him.

No Championship managers or has-beens please.

Someone with Premier League experience and recent Prem success.

Why would someone with recent Prem success come here? If they’ve had recent Prem success I’m sure they’ll be able to do better than come to us.
 
We’ve stayed clear of the relegation zone all season so far, there’s no way it happens whilst that’s the case. So you’re all wasting your breath.

If we’re in the bottom three at Christmas, I’m sure you’ll all get your wish.

All of these would be better options than Steve ****ing Cooper.
