Balotelli has serious psychological problems.

Papa Waigo is an atrocity. I don't want him here at all.

Even though they eventually won, Spain were never overly convincing at any point during the World Cup. They were being heavily criticsed for their inability to adapt as late as the Paraguay match. Del Bosque doesn't deserve that much credit, imo.

It's not like he was spending massive amounts of money at all. I don't think West Ham as a club have made an eight digit transfer, and other than that odd Savio experiment they haven't come particularly close. He still made some very decent transfers as well. Especially considering that he brought them out of the championship and bringing the likes of Benayoun and Paintsil to your little country. It's actually rather similar to Hughton's. A lot of poor to average players at cheap prices to help the club fight for promotion and consolidate Premiership status. Only a few risks, and hopefully some foreign gems at low cost/risk.

It's not that low for me at all. I think anyone who says it's very low for them is simply extrapolating to a level that I am not willing to go to. We've sacked a decent manager after a few poor results and replaced him another rather nondescript, average British manager. We still have the same players and a potential to do well. If we can continue consolidating our position this season and incrementally improving the squad, I will be able to live with this. As always with Ashley, it's unfortunate how he's chosen to go about it, but I am alright with the actual events that occurred.

He can't have been helped by his best player sinking his teeth into another man's neck/shoulder. edit: I would absolutely love this, btw.

Midtable is deceiving. We're four point above relegation zone and just had our worst defeat of the season to a fellow promoted team. We're hardly in a good place. If 4 points above the relegation places after 16 games isn't good for a newly promoted team, then what is? I would have taken it, Everton, but to infer that we are somehow comfortably in midtable is a preposterous statement. Would Chelsea be happy with second if they finished 36 points behind first? My level of contentment is decided by many other factors other than the number next to our name on the table. At Disco, I need to go to the halls for food, but mu mouth is still hanging open at the screen.

Somewhat of a Keegan situation, there. Obviously weren't his player. Also, Mascherano was atrocious at first. Remember the West Ham match where Oba got his first for NUFC. It was Masch who did the Guthrie for it.

Hughton spat cliched nonsense too. Their performance has very little correlation with how they speak to the media. I would definitely prefer Curbishley to Pardew, though.

It's all about money. Currency. Accounts. That's what it is always about, when you have to wonder why. Unless he's been caught with Ashely's daughter.

No expert on this subject, but that is just an unnecessarily difficult and convoluted plan when you consider that we are already in the top league while cutting costs.

Ambivalence. Very much sit and look time for me. I'm willing to see what the board has planned and the real details of Christopher leaving the club. He's been a good servant, but NUFC will go on far into the future without his guidance. If there are problems caused at the club, they will not be because of this decision. Rather, they will occur because of the ones taken as a result. We need to get these right. Sacking a manager isn't always bad, it's often progress.

I would put a bullet in my head. I'd be fine with any decent, unKinnear-like appointments. Just any competent manager that will not try to destroy the club.

What? What?!! I am genuinely in shock. He wasn't the best manager in the league, but he was a very likable character who had united the team. I will miss him. I hipe we have some idea of a replacement. I cannot believe this.

Typically, he's played well for us, but ruined all of that with one moment of stupidity. Now he is injured...again. It never stops with him. I really love the player in him, but the patience wears thin after years of aggravation.

Yeah, Jonas is more about dribbling and strength on the ball than pure acceleration and pace. He's been good for us, imo, but given his style of play it is noticeable when he's not really up for the game. Today seemed like one of those cases. If him and Jose aren't working together on the left, we don't have many other real attacking options.

Lille beat Lorient 6-3 over in France to go top. Marseille managed to lose 1-0 to Nice by an 90 min+ goal. Horrific.

Prison.

The hell has Hughton done to deserve some vitriol?

How much did you pay for Tchoyi, Osaze, and Mulumbu? All very good signings at what I would surmise were very good prices.

It's a bit scary if West Ham win this morning (as I expect them to). West Brom have shown no signs of collapse and seem a rather solid Premiership team. West Ham seem to have found a formula that works and I personally expect them to improve and get results as long as the forward line and Parker stay healthy. Wigan are gone, imo, but who will go with them?

It's a shame as I thought he had his moments while the club was in chaotic freefall in 08-09. He just really hasn't shown anything this season, though.Probably sell him to Cardiff or QPR during January.

You mean like the changes West Brom made over the summer? Bringing in cheap, class foreign players (especially their new pacey striker)? Yes I would enjoy these changes.

This is an embarrassment. They fully deserve the win and we fully deserve this shame. A loos like this had been coming, but this is worse than I would have thought.
