It's a bit like having an ex, one minute you tell her you love her, she blows you out and you hate her.

Robert did a good job for us, I don't understand why so many of our fans seem to revel in his misfortune, he was outspoken against Souness but what he said was right. I’d be more than happy to be watching a Robert clone playing for us now.

Agreed, we've got good enough players in both defence and up front, we need players who can break up the play in front of the defence and we need players who can then take the ball forward and create openings for the forwards.

Of course forwards win games, all 11 players in the team are capable of winning games if you have the right players. We did buy 3 defenders and you're right that we've struggled, we've struggled as a team though, not just at the back or just up front, we've struggled in most positions. As for your comment "that if we had bought 3 forwards we would have done a damn sight better," laughable, we didn't give the forwards the service that they needed to do any better, we've done that over the last couple of games and they look like the quality of player most thought that they were. It doesn't matter who you have up front, if you don't give them chances they're not going to score many goals. We have good forwards who need something to work with, something they've been without for most of the season. My comments had nothing to do with the new or old board, you're obsessed, you've got some ship on your shoulders. Well done though, you did manage 2 out of 5 paragraphs which didn't mention the board on a totally unrelated subject. Forward players don't usually control games, that's normally done by the midfield who protect the defence and then play the ball to the forwards to finish off the move, forwards rarely control games. PS The purpose of a forum is to debate, you might not have noticed but somebody starts a thread then people respond.

Try and get Yorkie involved in the debate, problem solved.

I'm sure it's the number of goals we'll get in each half.

Spurs put 6 past them, we should double that.

A cricket score is on the cards, on a serious note we'll get 3 more points but it could be a 1 goal win or a 5 goal win. I've gone for a draw then two wins in our last 3 and got that bit right but got the scores wrong, I'll go for a 3-0 home win.

We should tell Bentley that if he comes here he'll be playing alongside Englands Michael Owen.

The best teams also have the best midfielders and defenders, to say they have the best forwards is slightly short sighted.

I'll go with that, we've put up with the shite, now it's time to give it back, bollocks to the lot of them, some of our own fans included.

Agreed.

Load of bollocks.

Proof that we are a small club if you ask me, not that you did.

I didn't like Howey and that was before he opened his mouth, I couldn't understand how we got so much money for him when we sold him.

Nowt wrong with Darren Peacock, he was actually one of our better defenders and I'd be happy to have another one like him.

I thought Keegan was approached at the same time as Redknapp but Keegan said that he wanted to speak to Ashley first, appointing Keegan had nothing to do with luck.

The same thing was said when Pearson first arrived, it' far too early but the signs are good.

Are you sure it was him?

Just humour him.

Smith still has a use then.

You're welcome to it.

A plan, I like it.
