Kinnear's just had a pop at Dean. Wouldn't be surprised if the FA ask him to explain his comments tbh.

Other results have certainly done us a favour today. Be a bit worrying if we get nowt from the Liverpool game, we'll be back down there again. They're top of the League and flying. Anyone expecting a result against them is seriously deluded. I'd take a point right now. I'm expecting fuck all, man. I predict that it'll be looking pretty scary on Sunday evening, but then we'll go and nick a win fairly quickly and pull away. Then lose and be down there again. Then win and pull away a bit. Then lose and be down there again. We'll be alright eventually like. Finding it increasingly difficult to get excited/devastated given our horrendous inconsistency. Wasn't aimed at you chap. It'll be tight all the way imo. I'm still convinced we'll finish roughly about where we are now. Stoke and Bolton lost again. Hull, Boro and Portsmouth are on the slide. Sunderland's fixture list gets very scary soon too. We had an awful day. Losing Enrique, Beye and Viduka. The referee had a shite game and Bassong got sent off..... And we still nearly got a point. I'm disappointed we didn't but we'll play worse and win games between now and May. We'll be ok.

We've had an absolutely shit day today....and we're still 12th.

Fucking drama queens.

Looking like 'one of those days'. They happen from time to time unfortunately.

Apart from 5 days ago when he scored the winner...

Murderers home and hosed. 2-0.

Everton one up at Boro. Keeps them right in it.

Just takes one goal to swing the momentum back in our favour. Losing both full-backs in an hour is something no-one can legislate for and Kinnear will have to re-organise us. Still hopeful - unlike some...

Phil Brown having his teamtalk in the penalty area! He must be fucking livid.

Exactly. Re-group and send them out with a bit of fire about them.

Just get them in at HT and re-organise.

Hull getting scattered. 4-0.

City now 3 up. Murderers one up too.

City 1 up.

Thank you for your speedy replies!

Any team news yet folks?

Berbatov, Tevez and Rooney now all on. Need them to get one too.

Gold.

Have I missed something? Ashley hasn't binned him or if he has then it's been done on the quiet. All we have is something by Luke Edwards which tells us about Mort being willing to come back yet it doesn't carry a single quote from Chris saying that he'd come back. Edwards has probably picked up on Mort being at the Spurs game and come up with something which may be far from the truth. Aye, I jumped the gun. I just assumed there was some truth to it and it was in the pipeline. Hope there is tbh!

He's been an absolute nightmare quite frankly. He was one of the people who oversaw this whole mess, yet he seems to abstain from receiving any criticism from a lot of folk. I'd agree 100% with that. He's done a s*** job since he came in June/July and I'm glad Ashley has had the sense to bin him. Should never have been appointed. Have i missed something, has Llambias been chucked? No yet. But I made the comment on the assumption it all goes ahead and Mort comes back.
