Hate to use the communication card again but Steve Gibson comes across as a Chairman who honestly makes the decisions based on whats best for his football club. I dont doubt that he looks at it ruthlessly from a financial aspect as well but it as much they way he puts it across as what he does.

Sounds like a rallying call to get people like Alan Smith in the team that - get the fighthers on the pitch More a reflection of the home performance against Villa, the improvement away since Fulham, the realisation that Bassong is our best defender, Viduka's return to fitness, Beye finding his form etc. Nowt to do with Smith. If Barton was fit, i'd be confident rather than optimistic. I agree with the Barton comment - be so much better feeling if he was around and staying fit.

What a surprise He is going to look for any angle possible

Atmosphere was brilliant. Loved it, was my first game too. My view that night http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/3598/testamonkp8.jpg http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/testamonkp8.jpg/1/w604.png

Fucking hell. Never known noise like it when that one went in

Dont know if this has been done.... Jose Bosingwa : http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/8025/bosingwaxx2.jpg http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/bosingwaxx2.jpg/1/w218.png Simpsons Unibrow baby : http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7799/simpsonsbabyfo2.gif

Ah cheers RM. Magic pictures them. Real feel good factor around that time

I am a natural pessimist. I went for 7. I still think its a very real possibility. Bottom sides starting to spread every so slightly and I am worried that we arent keeping ourselves at the top of the bottom half.

Been a lot of talk today hasnt there. Could very well be imminent

I like the Beye one. Was that the day he lifted Owen up over his shoulder ?

Yeah I dont think people are specifically pointing the finger at him as the reason that Kevin left, but as the man in charge, people would have expected him to have been more vocal and more visible in the club's attempt to turn the season around and to move on.

Get ready for the Chelsea boo's

What happened? Ruptured Achilles

Oh I know mate. I was annoyed at the stories that seemed to just want to undermine Kevin. ah, ok. apologies then. Mind you this story ran at the time when Ashley was supposed to be over in the middle-east and shortly after that Jiminez left iirc. not saying it is true tho, just as likely papers are retrospectively making up what happened. No worries

And your absolutely not prepared to accept any positive stories about him so it works both ways. Also, it appears that your not prepared to accept any derogatory/negative stories abut Ashley/Llambias/Wise. People/glass houses etc

Towing the company line there i would say. If its true then he is a tosser for talking about stuff like that to the general public.

What orders has he had? thats a figure of speech. he'll be doing ashleys bidding to a certain extent so most of what he has done "wrong" will probably have came from an ashley conversation/order. So are you confirming that Ashley is 95-100% at fault for the total mess we are in... if they were all his orders ?

Erm, not really. Part of the problem. Plus massively out of his depth to run a premiership football club. proof? you are aware of the mess we are in arent you ?

to be fair thats just embarassing. offer a reasoned argument as to why you think KK is 100% at fault man. thats just ignorant

My thoughts exactly. What planet is he on where he thinks that we can get 'proven' players? Shit for brains. Wasnt Gomes proved in the Dutch league ?

Oh I know mate. I was annoyed at the stories that seemed to just want to undermine Kevin.

Bloody hell whats happened to this page

Robbie Earle as a pundit EDIT : Not sure if he is there today but just usually when he is on he is amazingly bland
