Have to say, from the sounds of things, Shepherd is attempting to make a positive regional impact which should be commended.

Brilliant.

NUSC come across badly, but Llambias seems completely delusional about what is right in front of his face.

The Grid is basically football manager with real life scout reports. It's a good service to use, but shouldn't be used on its own.

...who do you still want to be here? That is of the current bunch of players in the squad WHO HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED, who do you still want to be here in three years and in what capacity would be the maximum acceptable? For me: Key players: Krul Bassong Regular starters: Enrique Gutierrez Possibly Coloccini Squad Players: Beye Ryan Taylor Guthrie Barton Martins Carroll Possibly Xisco. The possibles are because I'd hope they'd settle in a bit better for their second season. I'd hope the rest had fucked off. Shows what work needs to be done really.

The team lacks confidence and it lacks spark. It'll just get worse with each defeat and is a downward spiral. New manager is a solution but unlikely to happen. New signings are out of the question, and an injured player coming back is just swapping like for like. I'd like to see a couple of young players come into the team, freshen things up and maybe light the crowd up with a bit of optimism. Krul, Carroll and LuaLua would be the obvious candidates.

Jenas starts for England. Lets not go down the international so must therefore be a top player route. He may start for Argentina but he doesn't STAR for them... pretty much how he plays for us. he starts but doesn't shine. Unless you're one of those fans who looks at his work rate and his trickery on the ball to evade markers as shininge xamples of outstanding play and contribution. I don't, I value my players being able to do good things on the ball in key areas which Jonas struggles with and its starting to effect the team. Jenas doesn't even get in the squad

We'll go down, Kinnear won't get blamed, Kinnear gets new contract, Kinnear takes us down again, Hughton given job, Hughton takes us midtable. Sacked. Llambias appoints himself manager. Club moves to Buckinghamshire so Ashley can get to games.

I'd take Roeder now.

This offside free kick thing. I remember Roeder taking credit for it, bragging as if his tactical genius directly helped us draw with Everton. Clearly going to need unteaching.

Butt and Smith always save their worst performances for this game, or thats how it seems each time anyhow.

Let us face it, if you dare to outplay Man Utd at any point, Sir Alex is going to be out for revenge next time.

Sadly I'm gonna miss this game

Shite team who can't pass from the back.

He'd be amazing in a good team with good management who knew how to utilise him, but not for us.

You know what, I can't.

Butt might have to come off. Best part of our game so far.

85 managers

Thing is, if we wanted the money and to keep Given, the club could have easily made £3-4m from Krul and Harper imo. Ultimately, I think the decision was made to sacrifice Given as he was becoming a negative influence at the club, and the board want Krul and Soderberg to make it, and Given was always going to be in the way of that. In other words, we were desperate to get rid imo.

Was down for ages. Both the main site and the forum. Message saying that the domain wasn't responding to the connection request.

Well I'd say from experience that Conference is better to watch than League 2, and will breathe fresh life into the clubs that go down, making most teams better in the long run.

Will they get points deducted for this?

Worst name related insult since Pee-gan. Wierd having a casino manager in charge. Probably knows gambling is a disease.. Good point about his previous job. What ultimately is the difference between fleecing money out of deluded fools at a casino, and fleecing money out of deluded fools at NUFC?

No I think it is down to Enrique's superior attitude.
