I think you're right. I recall a good number being sacked after losing to us .... which, tbh, I thought was a little rude.
Think we've had at least 1 West Ham manager - can't remember which, but he was playing "The West Ham Way" - which meant they were on the verge of relegation.
Pardew? Maybe after the 4-0 at the 'bok?
I think I can speak for us all when I say we miss THAT West Ham way

Leeds are a shambles and Redfern probably hasn't had the chance to take a training session. Leeds to throw everything at us for an hour and then we score 1 or 2 on the break :)

Roy Keane got potted after we beat Sunderland a few years ago. Pretty sure it was when Megson was in charge.

Yes, that. Were we three up or four up at half time?

If we're talking about the same game, they battered us 3-1.

Our soopa-doopa medical team will see to it that he's out for longer.

That was a different game. We won that one 4-1. The 4-0 was when we got three goals in the second half and Pards was later sacked. Carlos Tevez was playing.

I was right behind N,Zogbia (sp?) in the Lofthouse lower for their first goal. He curled it in as a cross and it skipped past everybody and into the net. We were doing okay up to then and it came as a complete sickener.
