This is the one that always springs to mind.

Really hope Souness gets the job. Unfortunately, I think Gibson's had this one planned and they might have someone good lined up already.

2-2 Just not happening for us at the minute.

I'm not boycotting the game. I'll be there on Saturday to support the club. We need a win. If other people want to stay away then that's up to them.

Lost 4 straight for the first time in 22 years. Play Man U at the weekend without Gerrard and Torres then the Arsenal away in a weeks time. Lose both of them and we're in business for Benitez getting the bullet imo.

I want to think like this. I want to be positive and say things will turn around for us again and we'll get this thing back on track but I just don't believe it will happen. We're desperately short on cover if we pick up a couple of injuries/suspensions and we need all of the injured players back asap. Particularly Taylor and Coloccini. Ameobi and Barton would be nice too but we're getting rolled over far too easily. Doom, gloom and embarrassment for the foreseeable I'm afraid.

Now that's support.

Nice one, thank fuck. Completely forgot about the postal strikes and was worried you'd not get it. Nae bother. Payrise goes in tomorrow too...

Same as ever then. Sounds very grim. Got the ticket btw.

'We've been shite like. Geremi is wacthing the game from the centre circle. Long ball shite & Carroll isn't winning any of them, but that's the only ball we're playing. fucking dreadful.' LLLO.

If they lose tonight and get beat by the mancs it will be 'Rafa out' on all the phone-ins Perfectly plausible. Erm...scrub that.

He's a piece of shit. Hope his leg turns septic and fucking falls off.

Any hope I had of us playing 1 season in this division have just evaporated. Yep. I just don't understand the supposed logic of any decision he makes anymore. Normally I can see the point of going down a certain course of action, even if I don't agree with it, but this bloke man. Fuck me, he gets it wrong every time. He should just flip a coin - at least he'd get half of them right.

We can kiss goodbye to promotion now. Only one way we're headed whilst he's in charge full time.

FA charge on the way for that like. Dirty Teutonic twat.

..or have the technique to hold it up and bring others into play or find each other with flick-on's.

And the selling of Alonso. Their fans have placed Benitez above criticism but that might be one of his biggest mistakes. To be fair to Benitez on that one, the Italian lad (forget his name) he bought to replace him hasn't kicked a ball yet. yes but hes got a long history of injury aqualaini and was bought injured for 20m they had a perfectly steady rb and spunked 16m on glen johnson when they needed a striker to play beside torres. I doubt liverpool will finish in the top 4 man city look the real deal this year I hope they get relegated. I'm just saying they can't use selling Alonso as a stick to beat Benitez with. Yet... Let's see how he does when he's fit and if he's s*** then Benitez will kop it. (geddit? geddit? ) actually losing alonso can be put down straight to lafa, he tried to sell him to pay for barry (i know who id rather have in the side and it aint barry) would you have felt compelled to stay if you were alonso after that treatment? Hang on, I'm not defending his decision to sell Alonso. I'd have Alonso in there before Barry or Aquilani without question. I'm simply saying that it can't be used to hammer Benitez until Alonso's replacement actually plays. Also, if Real came in for me - I'd be packing my bags as I took the phonecall.

Too similar to Carroll imo. It's too easy an option for our full backs and midfield to think 'right, there's 2 big targets to aim for, I'll just hoof it and let them win it.' That's not going to get us anywhere as their technique isn't good enough to create enough from all of the long stuff. Need to play one or the other with a pacey striker (or even Nolan playing just off) and force our midfield to actually play football rather than just take the easy option of just fucking banging it up there and hoping for the best. Hughton needs to find a plan B asap.

And the selling of Alonso. Their fans have placed Benitez above criticism but that might be one of his biggest mistakes. To be fair to Benitez on that one, the Italian lad (forget his name) he bought to replace him hasn't kicked a ball yet. Granted, but selling Alonso full stop comes across as foolish. Unless, there was no way he was going to stay. Agree totally, I've always rated Alonso as being a cracking player. Still too early to hang that one on Benitez just yet. If Aquilani bombs then he'll get stick.....I'd imagine anyway. If they've put him on a pedestal and immune from criticism that's their fucking problem. I hope they crash and burn big style.

Probably deserved a point at the end of the day but we can't give teams a goal start away from home and expect to pull it back. For all of our domination in the second half forest defended well and were hard to break down. Our final ball was shocking and if you can't score then you don't deserve to win. Needs sorting. More than once this season we've won games we shouldn't have so we can't really complain about today. We just weren't at it.

Still think we'll win.

Hope Sunderland and Liverpool kick the living shit out of each other tomorrow. 1-1, numerous horrific injuries and 5 red cards please.

Fixed.
