Have you seen Lua Lua play? He is really fast, he's direct and he can put in a good cross. Kadar is far too inexperienced but Lua Lua has played in the first team and hasn't let himself down, the same goes for Triosi. Lua Lua has looked shite whenever he has played. Granted, I suppose you could argue he needs a run of games, but we don't really have that luxury.

Mc Geady Scott Brown Steven Fletcher Kris Boyd Ross McCormack Fuck me, we really are turning into Fulham.

Then the comparison will come over the next couple of weeks. I have no confidence in winning many of the games left.

Bit like a teacher who doesn't actually teach. "Life is the best lesson". Sorry, but I don't agree with you. If you were coaching under 8's I'd agree though. If you want kids to improve at the game, you coach them. Natural ability and love for the game only gets you so far.

Why do people keep going on about Smith? Both N'Zogbia and Smith are pretty poor. Surely you're not telling me that the two players have a similar amount of talent? N'Zogbia has more potential, but I'd ditch the both of them. Neither are good enough to save us in a relegation fight. So who, in our current squad, is good enough to save us in your opinion? Our squad is desperate as a whole, we need to make the best of what we've got or we will go down. I'm a big fan of N'Zogbia, think he has the potential to be a top class winger, but I'll readily admit he's far from the finished article and can be frustrating. But he's one of the very few players in our squad that I have any hope for when they get the ball, cos I know he's capable of doing something quality. It's not ideal relying on a moody, streaky player, but it's the best shot we've got. Sadly, I don't think many of our players are good enough to save us from the slump we're in. I do find it strange how much stick Dyer used to get, when he was actually a much better player than N'Zogbia.

Speculation is pointless, it's not speculation that we were shite under Allardyce and now Keegan, and the players had (and still have) no confidence.

I don't see how he is. Isn't everyone just saying that Keegan isn't an improvement? Doesn't mean Allardyce was good enough though does it.

I didn't say that but I wouldn't have bet against it, we were shite under him and Keegan has come in with a run of games against teams mainly at the top, we had no confidence under Allardyce and I think that would only have got worse. So you do speculate then? Allardyce was unlucky to lose 2-1 to Chelsea. Keegan has seen his team humilated by both Man United and Arsenal. Both as bad if you ask me. An appointment unfortunately not based on footballing reasons, and it'll see us very close to going down (although I now think we're not in a losing habit, and won't turn it around).

We'll never know what would have happened but Allardyce doesn't have a good record of signings while here and we were shite under him so we could easily have been where we are now. So are you saying that under Sam we'd be two points worse off now?

Allardyce got 4 point from an easier run of games. I thought Allardyce would have done better in a lot of games than he actually did so what either of us would have expected to happen under him goes out of the window as far as I'm concerned. So you're saying that under Sam we'd be 2 points worse off?

Why do people keep going on about Smith? Both N'Zogbia and Smith are pretty poor. Surely you're not telling me that the two players have a similar amount of talent? N'Zogbia has more potential, but I'd ditch the both of them. Neither are good enough to save us in a relegation fight.

Do you know that we only tried for 3? I'm not happy that we left the squad as it was but I'm not going to blame anybody at the club because Woodgate signed for Spurs or that Derby didn't take the money on offer. The timing of Allardyce getting sacked was poor and I'll blame them for that. I'm speculating. Hence the "if". Do you know we tried for more than 3? Should have given Diarra what he wanted tbh.

This.

Has your mate decided to change support to Arsenal now after losing to Portsmouth - like the rest of trophy chasing w@nkers ? Aren't Man United in exactly the same amount of competitions as Arsenal though?

Keegan has done no better than drawing at home to Derby? He's got 2 points since he got here. Allardyce got 4 points in 5 games. If Allardyce was still manager, we'd probably have exactly the same points total as we've got now (hence why I said that he wouldn't have done any worse). I'll say it again, for those not reading. I DIDN'T WANT EITHER MANAGER.

We did try to bring players in, we couldn't do much more than that apart from have offered more to Derby for a player who probably wouldn't have made any difference. I forgot that there were only 3 players available in January. Happy we left the squad as it was then?

I reckon he'd make a good championship player tbh

The problem here was the timing of SA sacking, which wasn't really needed until the summer, but lets forget all that.. Wasn't it? You reckon Allardyce would have done better than KK has with these players? I don't think he'd be doing any worse (technically not really possible). I think he'd have beaten Bolton though. On the run of form he was on? Couldn't beat Derby ffs. Keegan has done no better in terms of results. I didn't want either manager by the way, which I pointed out at the time Keegan took over.

i its fukin hilarious? what u on about mate, it will be a good thing if their not after him. hel stay this summer then settle down next season. nd he is a good player. definitaly worth hanging onto. They're not after him because he's not good enough. Yeah, that's a great thing for us. If we sign loads of s**** players, at least nobody will try to buy them. yep u got me there mate cs nzog is really shit. infact he's awful i have no idea why people would think hes a young talent Didn't take long

He didn't chose not to buy and wasn't stopped from buying, Woodgate. Roll your eyes as much as you want, but that doesn't hide the fact that even the blind could see that this current crop of players isn't good enough, and we'd be fighting against relegation. Someone at the club HAS to be blamed for not stopping this situation before it started. Woodgate wouldn't have changed the fact that our midfield is probably the worst in this league.

N'Zogbia isn't 20% as good as some people on here think he is. Laughable that people think Arsenal will be after him.

If Keegan chose not to buy players in January, it's ultimately his fault if we go down. If of course he wasn't allowed to buy players, then the board have failed this club, and Keegan cannot be blamed.
