My personal reasons for optimism. 1) The takeover rumours seem to be gathering pace. 2) Rumours say we are selling Bramble! 3) Also say we are getting Baines. 4) Roeder is still better than Souness and might actually be bothered by how crap we are. 5) Always the possibility of an unlikely cup run, even if the league campaign looks to be a midtable write-off or worse.

Why in gods name would Hitzfeld bother? Sack Roeder, get Curbishley...if we are lucky. This is a lower mid-table club with a poor squad that everyone knows is run by a shit stain of a chairman.

I still don't hate Roeder. I think he cares, I'm just not sure if he's good enough. I could see him resigning.

Ask yourself this question - who are we going to beat? Certainly doesn't seem impossible.

Money. The same way most players go to clubs. You sign up a player like Sol Campbell because you offer him more money, and then you win more games because of it.

I'm looking forward to Warnock's post-match interview.

Cheers AF!
