Sat in pub with a fan on each table aside me, one a 30 something human being with a bit of sense, the other an opinionated ignoramus know(f*ck)all, type of bloke who gets to 50 and think he knows the lot, white van man straight off Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I described Chungy's back pass as the worst I'd ever seen, but our friend had seen much worse in his time supporting Palace blah blah blah Scott Dann's header miss was down to us having only one striker, and when me and the normal one said we played OK and were unlucky, good interplay etc, the self-appointed expert was certain that this was 3rd division level gone up to 2nd despite the fact we'd outplayed a premiership team.

Long intro, he's a season ticket holder and was shocked, like many, at how bad we were in our first two home games. But there was this ...'we haven't got the players for tippy tappy ... not enough hard tackling ... not enough effort ... pace (he hsad a point there)'. But didn't have a b*stard clue and didn't know what he was looking at, and couldn't tell the difference between performance and result, and they don't always match. But I can see a groundswell of d*ckhead opinion that will leap on anything that isn't instant or direct, and when things go wrong they'll point the finger in the wrong place blaming big ideas when it's lack of them that's the problem.

The old git in the pub for me is a BOEREXITEER, while having seen this performance I have seen enough that FDB should be backed till December at the earliest - we have good players, we know where we need to add, FDB's analysis of where we are as a club and where we need to go was so impressive it got him the job ... so I hereby declare myself a REMAINER. Frankie De Boer's Red and Blue Army! Vote here please.

In FDB we trust.

We have to give him more time, to sack after 4 games would make no sense at all.

COYP!!!

I think it's probably unwise to convert this into a mock up of the EU referendum but just to stir the pot I'd guess the Boerexiteer also voted brexit

None of that foreign tippy tappy nonsense over here!

We're the Arthur over ere!

Tbh, I'm getting to the point where I really don't care if FDB stays or goes ... I'll probably be somewhere else.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Agree, we had no threat from the left. He could have mixed it up like Allardyce and even Pardew did.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Unfortunately that's impossible as Townsend just throws he toys out the pram when he's told to play on the left. Bit of a one trick pony constantly cutting in but it's a bit hard to slag him off when he's our most creative player.
