As it stands I think this is our best and most balanced starting XI, we will never see it but hey ho.

Judging by this it seems like its only a matter of time: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30608020

I don't hate AI, but it was never going to work out and it never will, it sounds harsh but the lift it would give the fans when he eventually gets sacked will be something else. However, as I have said before if Downing stays then there is no point making a change. Stale.
