6 shit months out of 15 years or whatever isn't too bad.

Actually having seen it again, Defoe bit him!

Anyone literally just see Mascherano on MOTD2? Rolled around, starting a big fight after Defoe prodded him on the shoulder.

You can see how good a manager Curbishley is by how shit Charlton are now that he's left. With arguably a worse team he had them comfortably at mid-table every year, relegation was never a threat.

I didn't hear that one to be fair, but Me Mark Page certainly talks bollocks.

Its just daft mate. We're poor on the pitch and off it, but as soon as it gets to the actual football business - coaching and playing, its out of Shepherd's control. Roeder is the one that picks the team, picks the tactics, chooses the backroom staff, motivates the players etc. If Shepherd resigned tomorrow do people really think that we'd improve?! Long term I think its best if he went, but as an immediate fix its just silly.

Thought he was excellent tbh. Won everything in the air in the second half, first half not so sure as my view was so fucking pathetic. Huth had a great 2nd half aswell, first time i've ever seen him play well.

Shepherd is a huge problem, but the team won't suddenly become good overnight if he left and Roeder stayed.

Woodgate was class today, as usual.

Cannavaro played in the middle with Helguera, Ramos at right back. As an entire 11 they defended superbly, but Cannavaro was just different class. Zambrotta and Thuram both played, yeh.

Milner has to be slowest player i've ever seen, utter shite.

Cannavaro was so fucking good tonight.

I was rather embarrsed to be there at times, some of the shite that comes out of that PA box is bordering on the retarded.

blueconfused.gif Tw@t Touched a nerve?

Shola had the first touch of a rapist today like.

Fulham beat us. On paper we're better than Shef, Watford and Charlton, but they will see the games against us as winnable in our current state. No one is fearful about coming to SJP anymore, so we can't even bank on our home games.

I don't want him at the helm anymore, he's not good enough. But I don't feel hatred like I did with Souness, where he was a prick Roeder is a decent bloke just not very good at managing.

lol, no way. I remember well how it was last January... we're not there yet, but we are heading that way. 3 points off the bottom ffs.

They'll see those games as perfectly winnable.

Fucking shite. First-half diagnosis? First 20 minutes was actually pretty good, passed it around well and a few good through balls to Martins. He should have scored like. Boro had a few shots but from my seat I had no idea if they went miles wide or just a little bit. Second-half diagnosis? Absolutely toss. Defended ok, just had absolutely nothing upfront. Huth and Woodgate were really solid but we didn't test them greatly. Why does Duff get the ball and expect the overlap from the left back who is a right footed centre back? Can't he realise that that tactic won't work well with Ramage? Full-time diagnosis? Wank. We're 3 points from 20th place, going to be a LONG season. Star man for United? Parker was excellent as ever, I thought Taylor and Moore had decent games too. Worst United player? Milner/Ameobi. Don't see what anyone sees in Milner in the slightest, i'm quicker than he is. Opposition comment? Didn't deserve any more than we did, 0-0 would have been fair. Sitting for 90 minutes surrounded by Smoggy children in silly red caps wasn't a great experience either. Toon-pros? We nearly kept a clean sheet. Toon-cons? We really don't look like scoring from open play, why the fuck does no one shoot from outside the box? Oh, and why the fuck did we give Nicky Butt a shooting chance from a free kick at the end?! Post-match feelings? Roeder is a divvy, why bring Zog on in the 88th minute? Was he playing for 0-0 all of the second half?

I reckon Wigan will ask for something daft like £8m for Baines.

Division 1 is class, literally any of about 12 teams could go up every season.

Ramage and Taylor at centre back? Jehovah on a jetski we're going to get pummled.

Neither tbh.
