If Roeder believes what he's quoted as saying in that article then he's an idiot, those who think he can change look like being let down. You don't change unless you admit to your mistakes, you've got to see a problem before you can sort it out, he thinks he's got nothing to change.

The record of our manager didn't need looking up in Google, it's been done many times on here, I did check the dates but that's all.

Glenn Roeder didn't do that bad? 1992-93 Gillingham, 2nd bottom of the football league. 1993-94 Watford, finished 6th bottom of the second division or whatever it was called. 1994-95 Watford, finished 7th in the old second. 1995-96 Watford, finished 2nd bottom of the old 2nd and relegated, he was sacked. 2001-02 West Ham, took over from Redknap and finished 7th. 2002-03 West Ham, finished 3rd bottom and relegated, quite funny that he thought that Don Hutchison was worth £5 million. 2003-04 West Ham, sacked. Good job we didn't appoint somebody with a poor record.

2 of a kind.

Stop gloating just because your team won. > You've no idea how gutted I was when they scored. I think I have an idea.

Stop gloating just because your team won.

I can't remember any of my mates wanting him and plenty on here didn't want him to become manager.

Roeder virtually said all of this 12 months ago and look what has happened since, he hasn't got a clue, he's Souness Mk2.

He's possibly on about Luque as he came with a reputation and hasn't delivered, others have failed but I can't think of any that have reached any heights.

Does the name Damien Duff not ring any bells with Roeder? He blames everybody but himself.

The vocal majority were in fact the majority of the minority.

I suppose it depends how you read it, I took the gist of it to read that the club is in danger of a fair number of regular season ticket renewers not doing so next season which is nothing that hasn't been said on here before. Some folk are taking a giant jump and taking it as an insult to non-going fans/kids/forum users, I don't. I would have thought that saying "not to be confused with harassed parents and numpty tosspots queuing for the new home shirt" was meant as an insult, I wouldn't say it as anything other than an insult.

Have you ever timed how long it takes you to make a decision or have you not made up your mind yet as to whether you should do it or not?

I don't agree about him feeling the pain more than others, although he might, how does he know how much it hurts others? Everybody feels pain differently and it doesn't matter if it's physical or mental. I wouldn't even try to compare my pain threshold with others, pain is personal and one person trying to say that they feel it more than others is just crazy. When my grandparents died my brother and sister cried yet I didn't, it doesn't mean that it hurt them more, it means we dealt with it differently.

Glenn, Do you agree that the performances while you were caretaker were more down to Souness leaving than you becoming manager and do the performances this season prove that?

The message they put out in the article being discussed here was probably shared by most, the way they came across was a bit shit, taking a swipe at some fans the way they did was stupid, that's probably why they are getting stick.

He said something along those lines a while back, at least the comments about his part in Sir Bobby getting sacked, I can't remember where I've seen them, it might have been around the time he had his spat with Bowyer.

The squabbling on the forum should really stop, I know I get involved as much as anybody but it should all end. I don't think I've been as bored with any subject in my life. We should all allow each other to give views, we don't have to agree, I think disagreeing is half of the fun of coming on here. We've tried to put each other down to score points, I know I have but I'm not the only one. I'm not going to bait NE5 and he's not going to bait me, if the two of us can pack it in then everybody can. Try it.

Roeder would not give any details of what was said but he told me today: "I needed to tell the players what my thoughts were because once again this was a game we should not have lost but we did. What did Roeder do, read them a nursery rhyme?

You can't say anything new, it's all been said before because we've known the problems for long enough. The more the message goes out the more people will listen.

Nah man, the poll question says "which season makes you feel ill?" which is subtly different to "what has been the worst season?" - easy to see how I voted that way. I didn't even read that one.

I've gone for this one and only because we're still going though it, the Souness arrival was bad but that's history.

Eh?
