The last bit says it all. Its not rocket science is it?

that will be the 'Vuvuzelas' the long african elephant horns that the fans blow at the match.

Keeping the premier leagues best goalkeeper could have saved us. Youve all gone too soft on this one. I agree with Crumpy this time.

No one in their right minds

I got bladdered in the beer garden of the pub next door to my house and have slept it off in the sunshine in my back garden on a blanket until 6:10pm from 4pm. have just come in to find out the news on here. It feels less painful getting it from you lot on here than suffering watching it unfold on the box or radio. I will give all media a miss for a few days now. Let the initial wall of spite from the enemies burn out first.

Dont worry he was absolutely rubbish against Fulham anyway, despite being a top bloke an all that. and playing injured.. Well that would explain it then. He was awful though. You definitely need to be in top condition to play premier league. When do we have 11 on the pitch you can say that about? Our policy of throwing top money at players with their best years behind them has well and truly taught us a lesson with this impending relegation.

Press inspired shit stirring of the highest calibre. Thankfully none of the clubs involved have said they will have anything to do with it. Its out of our hands. We have to hope Fergusons integrity will make him play a strong enough side. I believe this sort of goading would only adversely affect his intentions.

That first statement just doesnt sound right. Surely its not his club its ours. He just happens to have paid for a turn at the reins. We were here long before him and will be here long after hes gone.

first 25 seconds will do for us.

Far too stressfull as it is out of our hands. I shall be hiding in the sauna /jacuzzi of the local gym untill its all over. Watching the results develop would be like the death of a thousand cuts.

If hes finished then we will probably try and sign him next year.

Yes but if you are a spent force physically as key members of our squad patently are, how is high motivation going to counter young fit athletic opponents swarming all over you?

Its sad and pathetic, blaming officials for our demise. Refs are neutral. The team is not good enough. Accept it.

Look forward to going to the Vines pub again next year

correct Totally agree.

Its a common reaction to rail and cry about how its everyone elses fault and bad luck etc. Good teams make their own luck. A good team comes storming back with buzzing midfielders pressing the opposition and overlapping attacking wide men providing service to the strikers. More chances get converted and the odd setback gets forgotten. Sadly this lot are not a good team so people cling to perceived injustices and bad luck which just sounds pathetic after a while IMO.

Listening to the phone ins driving home last night, I was embarrased at the fans blaming the ref. Its no good blaming officials we are not good enough and thats the plain truth. Nolan stood on the keeper with the sole intention of impeding him and Webb was looking for it. That was Nolans only contribution to the game. He gave the impression of actually having his legs tied together, so difficult was it for him to actually move on the ball when an opponent closed him down. He astonished me that he is actually less mobile than Butt in the centre of midfield. I believe both players are highly motivated but simply are spent forces. No wonder we are going down.

I never want to endure this sort of 'excitement' ever again thankyou.

Scary, sick stuff creeping in here. I know we are getting stressed but steady on now folks.

Got to get into them early on and take the few chances that we get before the legs go.

Father Teds 5 a side team have a bid in for Geremi I believe.

The only other person who was receiving the same level of publicity as Gazza at the peak of his playing career was Princess Diana. The papers would lead with one or the other. I remember at the time thinking no-one could survive this sort of attention. At least he is still here.

Is it wrong of me to say, Hats of to Milner for Knacking Hulls captain for the rest of the season the other night.
