Today was fairly poor, particularly the first half. The second half we were attacking and going for it though. I actually felt really frustrated as we should have won. Dont think i've felt that at all since Roeder's good days as caretaker.

It's a complete myth that Michael Owen is half arsed. It's based purely on the philosophy that he's good and therefore can't be arsed. Like with Duff too. Owen doesn't do anything of impact because he gets no service, it doesn't mean he doesn't try. Sometimes he does too much i think actually, as he comes deep trying to create. And Duff's jsut been rubbish, not lazy.

Oh i'm so excited. Though we never seem to get as much as the press say. Don't think there is any real basis for the links, but i can imagine him really wanting SWP.

I know he messed up but i hope he doesn't get booed. Support him, or rather be indifferent. New manager, new era just lets give all the players a new start.

Mk1 1990s. but to be fair, i was born in 89

Geremi out, Duff rejuvinated

Why? Took Fulham from 2nd to 1st division and left them in a good position for premiership promotion a couple of years later. Took Man City from 1st division to a mediocre, but stable, Premiership club. I was 7 when Keegan left and remember being gutted. Though young, i was into football young and going to games regularly from the end of 94/95.

Could make us a laughing stock but could be brilliant. I wonder who the hell he'll buy. Not defenders i expect!

Does Oliver really know anything? If he knows about harry, why does he also speculate about Jose in today's chronicle?

He's going to come some time and i think he'll go straight into management (no coaching) like Keane. Is he not better going into a 'revolution' situation rather than taking over an established, good team.

Sorry if mentioned but 'talksport sources close to Shearer' say he would take the job if offered. I'm starting to come around to the idea of him actually. Probably prefer to Redknapp.

Do we really want a striker? It's our best area. Viduka, Owen, Martins, Smith, Shola. Creative midfielder to play with Faye or Barton (?)

Eh. I'm sure Redknapp took over at Southampton the season they got relegated.

I'm not particularly inspired by Harry but i'm not depressed either. A bit like another Sam, but then I think Sam was a good appointment that we were right to expect to work. For the love of god, please support him when/if he's here. He doesn't have a hope in hell, like Souness if it starts out negative.

Why would we want him?

?

It won't let me select Mourinho as a bet on paddypower! They must've stopped taking bets because it's a dead cert

I don't rate Hughes any higher than i did Allardyce. Good manager, don't know if he could transfer it.

i don't see why anyone like that would come

To be fair, they probably did more than that.

Not really. You're not going to sign a promising youngster for just a couple of years. 1 because they're not even going to get a chance in that time, and they could just be snapped up by someone bigger.

Good atmosphere, rubbish match. On the radio, 5 live i think, they said it was a spirited display that would make us happy and ease pressure on Sam! What? I don't thnk i'm particularly critical but that was not good, right? Where's shola?

I stayed as always. Sometimes i wish i didn't feel such principles though so i could just go home and watch Coronation Street.

He should go maybe if someone's lined up, something that they've planned for a bit. Not as a reaction to the last few games. Keep him at least until there really is someone great to replace him that won't be sacked too in a year. He's gone now though, Sam. End of the season at the latest. I heard City fans singing it! I think they were trying to confuse the press or something. Singing 'We want Sammy out' then 'There's only one Alan Shearer'
