Harper is not that bad. this season has he been really good. last season with the liverpool incident for example he was shocking. but i have not been seeing that this season.

Given has been really poor this season and I think it more than right to let Harper play. espacially since this was the secoend game in row Given needed to go off.

does not sound that promising if he are going to be the defence "saver". hope that is not the case and that it is like he said to help KK. When he is talking he remind me of Keegan so I think he can be good.

But please. let someone else handle the defence.

Hope Round will stay too.

harper is a good shot stopper but he will make more "mistakes" than given. the next few months should dispel the myth that he's good enough for england.

I doubt that he will be a player for the England team. though I think he would have got that chance if he would have been playing all this years and not been sitting on the bench.

Would love to give Harper the season out in the goal. still i do not want to see him as our first teamer next season.

anyone more than me that think it would be great to give Foster one game in the PL this season. I would love to see that and see if he have any chance to play same games next years since our goalies start to be old a less good. I don´t think it would be smart to do that now. but the last game or so when we problably has fixed the new contract

Well I believe it was Keegan that didn´t want any players in the window. If we are going to blame the board we rather do that because they appointed Keegan and not that we didn´t did anything in the window.

We shall also remember that it was Fat Fred (the worst chairman ever existed) that hired Sam and not the present board. In fact how can anyone blame a board because the player is not preforming?

I can buy the fact that Sam didn´t got that much money in the summer. But that feels like Ashley never did not want Sam from the beginning.

What I have seen this far I am more than happy with Mort and co. Hopfully they can show us in the summer that they really want to this club to moved forward. But as they have been saying. You can not rush things when we have been in the shit for long time. Shepherd money have makes us to a card house. Now when we did´t used that much money we are falling.

If we are going to blame someone for this position it´s Sam, NOT the board.

Well maybe why we appointed Wise and bought Kadar, Söderberg, Tozer, Zamblera.

I´m really disappointed at KK=(

wounder why Söderberg is the only guy to play this weekend. Mabey we got a to big squed=D

"Keegan is now joint second to become the next Premier League manager to be sacked alongside Reading manager Steve Coppell, with one bookmaker offernig odds of 4/1, behind Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez, the favourite at 6/4."

Is this a joke?!

Keegan gambled with our premiership future when he decided not to sign anyone in the january transfer window.

We are crying out for a creative midfielder and someone who can put the ball in the back of the net,

If we dont scrap for every point from now on we could be in big trouble.

Not if my prediction will be true...

We had about 15 points to Birmingham...

12th 44 points

Birmingham, Fulham and Derby will go down;)

Anyone still reckon this squad can get in the top 6. 

Yes if KK would play our best player in their best positions and that they would stay fit, and pot a good system in play.

Milner don´t bring pace either. he is also out of form and it´s right to rest him. If enrique should play I would play in a different way, otherwise this is ok.

My only consern is Smith and that Viduka isen´t playing

Every manager we have seems to love Nicky Butt

He is good. it´s just that he cant pass a ball

Emre is playing in the center I think and Barton on the rw.

It´s right by KK to rest Milner. But not playing viduka is=(

No Viduka=(

Think Milner is dropped

If you have played in Malmö your crap...

He won´t score even if he play.

Watching the Arse mauling City should put our poor games against them in perspective. Should be a big confidence booster for our lads.

 

 

Mabey what I have been trying to say...

Maybe Allardyce had the right policy for dealing with the BBC.

And that was?

But that lost was in another time. Now we got a new manager and everything that gives you. We alredy seen better preformence than before christmas and it will only get better.

yes beaten twice by arsenal and a point off lowly bolton without a shot on target in 270 mins  of football without a single goal  :pottytrain5:

 

You must of missed the Smith goal line clearence. You can make anything sound bad when you ignore/make things up.

 

Talk about Black & White specs - this is REALLY grabbing at straws ; we never looked like competing with them apart from about 30 mins in the first half of the Cup game - completely outplayed in the League match,we looked like a Championship side at best.

 

So showing one example of where we've had a shot on goal after someone has declared we had 0 shots on goal in 270 minutes is grabbing at straws? 

 

Seriously, this thread is filled with doom mongers.

 

It is also filled with people who imitate ostriches - heads in sand, won't look the danger in the face, and whether you like it or not, if we lose on Sunday and the other results at the w/e go against us we ARE in a relegation battle - even Given admits it.

Still I don´t understand why everyone is worried. If we get closer the bottom, yea sure. But now? It´s still a long why down and I have alredy said whay I think about the preformens under KK.

I didn´t said we will win against Villa or Man Utd. But I strongly belive we can take points. I´m not beliving that because we could draw against bolton. I belive that because I´m sure we will start playing better.

But if everyone will be negative and all the time complaining how bad we are and that we will go down. Be my guest and do that. Sorley I won´t.

We should definitive play Emre and Barton becasue they are our best attacking center midfielders and Barton is quite good as defensiv to. The most importand things is though the players in the center got their rols. So they don´t play at the same spots all the time. And that they can be offensive in their play.

Can´t belive people has count us out becasue we have lost agasint arsenal in two matches! It just unbelievable

The Villa game will be tough but very intresting. Villa will be favorites but I think we can get something about the game. The with the Man Utd match as it is at SJP.

Thew most important part of that article is hidden behind Alan Shearer:

 

Paul Hart to be interviewed regarding an academy role.

 

Would be a brilliant signing.

Got absolutly no idea who´s that is. But who cares? If they say his good I buy it!

Bring him in=D

If ashley was serious about making us a top 4 club

We would have gone all out for a creative midfielder

And a striker as owen is not motivated enough to care

He should have been dropped from the england team.

I dont think we have any worries about relegation as there are far poorer teams than us.

But we need to start scarapping for evey point now.

But it was Keegans choice to not bring in any player

But that lost was in another time. Now we got a new manager and everything that gives you. We alredy seen better preformence than before christmas and it will only get better.

ok...

Arsenal away is one of the hardest matches so you can judge so much from that. KK is new and against Bolton you could see that the players was tierd from the Stoke match and that we played like we haven´t done for years. then with a lot of players away you can´t expect that much.

The first match against Arsenal we played really well and with a little bit luck we could have had the lead, and Kegan had only been hear for one week!

In the secoend we looked tierd again and the players seemed to have forgott how keegan want to play.

But if you thing we won´t start winning then think so. I, on the other hand, think and belive we will have a good second half of the season.

But that lost was in another time. Now we got a new manager and everything that gives you. We alredy seen better preformence than before christmas and it will only get better.
