Right lads and lasses, we haven't got much time again with this, so get your replies in sharp-ish: Simple enough, reply with "Option 1", "Option 2" or "Option 3" and any reasons you have for voting so. Remember that the club loses money for every unsold seat that we have, so that's why they don't always just take the full allocation. If my maths is right, if we take Option 3 and the club only sells 2000 tickets, then they lose £28k - and I doubt that will go down too well.

You got what you wanted. As i've been saying since October, the players arent good enough. We needed to spend enormous amounts of cash during January and the amateurs running this club failed to understand this. If we go down, it will be the board's fault. Team selection was as much to blame as anything yesterday, highlighted further by O'Neill having the nouse to completely change the game at half-time while we changed nowt to combat it. It just seemed another "hope for the best" situation here, which we've seen under all the managers since Robson. I was disappointed with Keegan yesterday, in all honesty, because if Enrique, Emre, Faye and Viduka were all fit enough to play then they should have been on the fucking park. Villa were dreadful in the first-half, but we were too impotent to really take advantage of it and at 1-0 at the break everyone around me there knew exactly what was coming, especially when those changes were made. We need investment, of course, but first we need or best players on the park in their correct f'ing positions. Discounting just yesterday though, the board do deserve criticism for the way they've handled a few things this season and they must be held accountable (along with the players/managers/staff) for the position we find ourselves in. This season has been a fucking abortion.

For all the mistakes he does make, (never passing forwards being my main concern), it's farcical that we were expecting him to beat Martin Laursen in an aerial battle for 90 minutes yesterday. That bloke is one of the best - if not the best - headers of the ball in the league and he had a good 3 inches on Smith as well. Very frustrating approach to take and it didn't do Smith any favours, not that he did himself many either like.

Didn't like what I saw of the bloke personally, seemed a cunt. Not upset.

Twelve points from all the games we have left shouldn't be too much to ask should it? Decky's 56 point total may just be stretching it like.

Yeah, right. He's basically said that 3 or 4 top players can make the players currently at the club take it to a higher level. Why would he say that if he wanted more? I think he's right, like. 4 top players in the right positions would make a massive difference to us.

Winner! I was expecting a "blueyes.gif" from you in response to this. I suppose that will be close enough though.

If anything, Hargreaves was Carrick's replacement...?

While Hargreaves and Scholes have struggled with injury and Anderson has settled in, though. Obviously the former two could still struggle next season, but I certainly don't see him as being in "" territory, unlike some names mooted on here sometimes. I think people just assume he's out of favour/fourth choice (for some reason) and that he'd drop it all to come here in an instant because he's a Geordie, which I disagree strongly with. As Yorkie points out too, he cost them £18.6m, and his stock hasn't exactly fallen, has it? Scholes is still an excellent player but he's 33. I reckon Carrick is his replacement. Anyway, never mind. Aye, agree to disagree I suppose, especially on the Scholes bit - Anderson is surely the replacement there as Carrick plays an entirely different game to Scholes and operates much deeper, unlike the young Portuguese lad. I just hope you're wrong and that he does end up here, seems to fit exactly what Keegan would want to bring into the club.

Better than what we have, was a major part in Spurs going from mid-table to CL possibles. Wouldn't be upset. This team needs a Wallsend lad end of. Undoubtedly.

The myth that he's available in any shape or form. I'm not miserable btw. Could've fooled me We'll see what the summer holds. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen, he's not a first choice player there if Scholes and Hargreaves are fit and with Anderson looking like a fantastic prospect, he could find himself 4th choice next season... or the fulcrum of our midfield. With him being a local lad, it's not as unrealistic as you think.

"You lot"? Where is there anyone other than Sniffer taking it like you've suggested? Boo Madras. Boo.

Fuck off Norma.

Good answer as well. Pace isn't the be all and end all. The majority of Arsenal's players don't have what you'd call "electric pace", but they think ahead of the game and pass/move constantly. They have a few who are very quick, but it's the other things that are most important.

Maybe I'm naive, but Keegan seems like a trustworthy bloke for someone in football, even moreso than I ever remember. Certainly cut from a different cloth to our previous three gaffers, it would seem.

Nein.

This jokey style of response been done to death and it was only midly amusing to begin with. Rodrigo fast become the least funny wannabe comedian on here

His own fault for allowing his agent to gob off tbh. He deserves all the heat he gets, little prick. Howay the Zog.
