Time for Viduka to come off, I think. Owen and Martins doing well together.

Barton is theirs. Get him off!

He really has to come off.

Shot, Saved, Goal at a guess Martins got the ball in a little bit of space, shot low for the far post, saved, Owen cleans the mess up.

It'll be Martins off, I bet.

Why? Seems like every time they go forward, they get a chance.

Starting to come together, encouraged by the last few minutes. Someone has to know. Does Nicky Butt have the most shots attempted on the team?

Hopefully everyone shuts the fuck up about this clause bollocks now. In retrospect, it shows just how shit he is that a theory about a clause forcing him into the first team seemed so plausible. -or- The clause says he has to be named in the squad at all times.

Ah shit, forgot about that. I need to settle the fuck down.

Didn't see Martins in the squad at first, and my heart sank. Smith on the bench!!

Thought I had superstitions.

Some times I agree with this sentiment, most times I don't. Wish the season would just end.

Have no clue how I feel until I see the team selection. Then it'll either be anger or hope.

We all need to get together and rewatch that Derby game.

The phone calls are fucking atrocious. Wondered why he has the shirt of too, though. Other guy called the appointment of Keegan the worst hire in..did he say the clubs history? Still, it's all we have here, so we all watch, huh. Devil Rays Fan?

I feel like a jackass even attempting to contribute to this thread, but in my limited time, I have to say the 3-2 vs Tottenham has to be high point in my time as a fan. Going beyond Martins' unbelievable strike, a goal so unexpected I was out of my seat screaming like a girl before I even understood that the ball went in. I loved that Butt got the winner after the confrontation with Chimbonda. After the goal, when he was jogging backwards with all the players chasing him, you couldn't get the grin off my face. Pales in comparison to the things I've read here, but it's all I have.

What a fucking unbelievable player.

That last card was little ridiculous.

Club needs a hotline we can call. Someone has to tell them that our midfield is shit.

Genuinely scared. I mean, if we go down, these players aren't capable of getting us back up. Team like this would be down there for quite some time.

Anyone? Fulfills a contractual obligation? Does he even have an assist for the season?

The scary thing is it's possibly the other way around, that we're seeing something that the management is not. Was just thinking the exact same thing as the original post. It's maddening that week in and week out, we can legitimately say that any of us could pick a better starting lineup than the last three managers. It can't be incompetence, something has to be up.

Thread started the last time we won. Goddamn December was a long time ago.

Such an idiot for coming in here. That game is coming on at 9 and I was making it my business to avoid it.

It's 3-0, but as exciting as a 0-0 Chelsea match.
