Need Pompey to do the business tonight first.

I'd do the same thing I'm going to be doing as a fan. Cross my fingers and hope those useless feckers put in a decent 90minute shift.

I'd be very surprised if they overturned it, and presumably with the hearing tomorrow he won't be able to play if it is upheld. Worth a try I guess, presumably can only be on the basis of it not being a goalscoring opportunity with the direction of the ball.

And replacing them with another one.

And then going on to spend January tapping up pretty much every player Harry had heard of in the premiership.

Have ManU got any players stuck on 9 appearences, thus only needing one more to collect a winners medal?

I for one would carry the fat sod back into the boardroom right now. You'll have to get down the gym.

We were as good as Fulham really, except for letting in that soft goal. After that it was much easier for them, obviously. Us being shit doesn't automatically mean they were any better. That's the thing that really drives home how bad we are for me. For a team as average (at best) as Fulham to be on the brink of qualifying for Europe and us to be so far behind them really highlights just how pathetic we've been this season. I respect what Hodgson has done there, they've come on leaps and bounds, but if they come top 7 and qualify for Europe I think they'll be the poorest side to have done so since the inception of the premier league (apart from possibly us under GR).

Who on earth actually claimed that Kinnear or Houghton were good enough? Seriously.... You should have learned by now that "people" don't actually have to have thought something for NM to retrospectively have a go at them.

They've locked that forum from new members ? You're kidding !

The disallowed goal negates your statement tbh. And Schwarzer's fantastic save at the end. And us hitting the post from close range. And Etuhu's brilliant goalline clearance.

The difference being the former was trying to buy quality. Tbf the blame lies more with Souness than Fatty. Well thats not true Souness wanted Anelka and Fatty bought Owen and Luque. Owen and Luque could have both worked out however (barring injuries - Luque was never the same after his). But I agree GS made love noises for Anelka. My point regarding quality stands however. So in reality the both of them have been shit Owner/Chairman and have fucked this club up big time, one being naive and the other for being a greedy cunt. That's the strength of it. But what runs through both regimes has been the inability or craven stupidity not to hire good football people behind the scenes. SA for all his other failings I think has been the only one who tried to redress this with his back up team of a million or so specialists. And that didn't even look like working whilst they were here. Maybe we are jinxed.

Fair play, it was hard to tell from live action. I was just surprised they didn't check it. Actually, it's pretty funny that you paused it

Wouldn't go that far, but severe discomfort, certainly But hell man - that decision just about relegated us, and the knock on effect from that for we supporters was horrific. What did he end up doing to us ? You can't attribute it to one thing. You could just as easily say that Oba failing to convert his chance after 15 minutes relegated us. Or that Ethuhu's (think it was him) miraculous goalline clearence that led to the corner relegated us. Or Schwarzer's fantastic save from Butt at the end did. Webb no more relegated us than any of those things. If we were good enough, and had taken some of the chances from open play we created it would have been irrelevant. The problem is we're not good enough. N.B. in no way am I saying the decision was defendable.

West Ham? Or did they take two seasons to come back up? Them and Man City are the only ones I can think of who've gone from being established in the prem, gone down, returned and are now 're-established'. It's pretty rare.

I thought that was off as it looked like he was past Harper. May well be wrong as there was no confirmation via replays either way. As for Webb, he got it wrong but he's still one of the best referees (if not the best) in the prem ffs.

Indeed. Anyway my point was a serious one. What you guys don't seem to realise is that most others don't share your perception of your club. 'Best fans in the world'? purlease. Although I accept that the boos at the final whistle on Saturday were probably for Webb, I can honestly say that I've never heard any fans boo their own manager/players as often as you lot. You seem to think you have a right to success and the pressure you apply with your unrealistic demands for it are in part responsible for your current troubles. Fifth place two seasons running wasn't good enough for you. No, and Bobby Robson (also a Fulham legend and very deeply respected in these parts) was shown the door. That your club could treat a gentleman like him so dismissively speaks volumes. And what chance did you give Big Sam? My God, he didn't stand a chance with you lot and your ridiculously inflated expectations. Again, speaks volumes. You seem to think that you can draw up a wishlist of managers and players and that those on it would jump at the chance of joining NUFC. Delusional. Roy Hodgson is far too intelligent to submit himself to your ridiculous infantile demands. You seem to be the only ones who don't see that. Best fans in the world? That's hilarious. You have made your club unmanagable and, so it seems, unsellable. COYW I can see your point actually, Fulham would never dare sack SBR

Schwarzer head and shoulders above the rest imo.

I might get this on my next shirt.

I am quite eloquent when the situation requires it.

:lol: I'm not joking!

I just find it staggering. I don't know where to begin, so I won't.

Thought he was OK yesterday, nothing more. As tooj mentioned, struggled once AC came on, saved by Schwarzer having been beaten in the air for Butt's chance.

I know, but it was a pretty good point for James.

Is Jose going to get sacked for this?
