The Mackems are right, we do play hoof ball. However, i'm not going to give the team too much stick for last night, the effort was there but not the quality. Sunday however, if the same tactics are employed, then i'm going to seriously start asking questions of AP.

Cant see anything but a bit of a bumming here. I'm trying to be positive but then I just get mental images of Walcott getting in behind or RVP merking Williamson. Unless we can get some control in the middle, its going to be a long night.

I think I'd be happy to overlook his (appalling) mistakes if we were to win a trophy like. Don't get me wrong, I'd be delighted for the club and incredibly happy. I would also admit that we wouldn't have been able to do it without his involvement as he has done many things right but I won't ever be someone who says 'I'm so pleased we have Ashley, he turned the club around'. Why? Surely you want him to turn it around? Why would you not want him too?

Booed off, who do Boro think they are?

Ive just watched that Video. The guy is a magician. He is the type of footballer that makes me want to watch football.

Well we actually got relegated away from home (Aston Villa) but yeah, the away fans applauded the team off the pitch.

I'd love to finish 6/7th this year. Two or three really good additions in the summer. We will lose one of our big players i think (Tiote maybe) for big money. Ged rid of some dead wood, Smith, Loven, Perch. Couple of youngsters. And repeat for the next 5 years.

did he, how ? We played the ball a hell of a lot more on the floor in the second half to be fair.

Krul Simo Wilicini Santon HBA Guthrie Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ba All day for me.

Just give him the rest of the season. Let him have a couple of bad games. Let him loose the ball a few times. Because for every bad game and every time he looses the ball, you know he will offer you so much more going forward than anyone else available in that position. Its not like Cabaye, Tiote and Jonas dont have bad games either. Give him the 11 games remaining and save his nufc career for next year.

Glad its over for another year. Its an awful week and unless you win its a pretty awful day too. I can get on with my life now.

I dont long for him in the slightest, I just think he would have thrived in a game like todays.

Couldnt care what he done at QPR, he was a massive influence in the same fixture last year.

Delivery, fight, influence but to name three.

I agree, expecting better in his second season.

Would have loved Barton in the team today.

Up where??

Yip. He's a finisher, we need quality from the wings.

We played the ball on the ground all of the second half to be fair. Even with 11 men we started really well. We were awful first half but he made the change at half time that needed to be made. We are 6th at he deserves the credit for that.

Of course he doesnt, but because its him, every single pass is scrutinised. Give him the last ten games of the season. Let him save his career here.

Ive just watched it back again and anyone who complains about him giving the ball away or that he doesnt give enough cover need their heads checked. He was great today. We are 6th in the league. We cant get relegated, we can get into the Waffa cup. Play him for the last 11/12 games, lets go for it. Give hima run for fucks sake.
