Serious question, and I want an honest answer. Who seriously thought we'd get something out of the game, even after being 1-0 up at HT ?

I apologise to all for my earlier rants, it was uncalled for but I'm just mega pissed off. Not so much that we lost, because I expected us to, but it was the manner of the second half performance. Lucky we didn't have our usual poor start to the season though, otherwise we'd be royally fecked.

Maybe he thought he was playing volleyball for a minute? It's the only possible explanation.

Hate to tell you but we're worse than the mackems.

I just find it ridiculously funny that Keegan can do no wrong I went overboard in the match thread, but to say he doesn't deserve any of the blame is ridiculous. Poor team selection, poor subs and poor "motivation"

Wonder how long Given will find himself out for. Harper was impressive when he played to be honest. Again, I don't think we deserved a 4-1 defeat, we were bad, but I don't think they were 3 goals better than us.

I didn't think we could go down. But realistically, we're not going to get a point from Man Utd, probably not against Blackburn, and probably not against Liverpool. So that's 28 points from 29 games. Can Birmingham get 7 points from their next 4, and the teams above them get enough to go above us? I think they can.

Indeed. Can they beat the 6-0? What a pathetic second halfs performance. Why is Stephen Carr playing left back when we have a perfectly legit one sitting on the bench? That's my main problem with the team selection to be honest.

I tried that

Grow up. Are we pathetic? Yes. Do I seriously wish we were in the championship? No Do I hate watching this shit every week? Yes. Is Viduka pointless sitting on the bench when you're 3-1 down? Yes.

He's got crap players. But leaving our best defender on the bench? Best left back? One of our only creative midfielders? Smith instead of Viduka? Not using a sub until you're 3-1 down? We'd have more points if BSA was still in charge tbh. You were doing well until the last point you made. It's speculation. But would we? It would've only meant picking up a win against Villa, Bolton or Boro, could we have nabbed a boring 1-0 win? Maybe.

I'm just sick of supporting a pathetic football team. I hope we get relegated, so I don't have to watch this shit every week. We might as well sell Viduka, he's not gonna do anything.

Sack Keegan! Too little too late. If it wasn't so pathetically predictable it'd be funny.

It's not his fault that he keeps getting passed the ball with either the wrong weight, or to his wrong foot. I'm sorry but that's complete bollocks. At least three were passed along the ground back to his right side and with little or no pressure, he whacked them straight out for a throw. Well I'm afraid you can't count. Apologies, two went out for throws, the other he tried to control and put himself in the shit. Bottom line, his kicking is not good enough. That's better His kicking isn't good enough, but as long as it goes out for harmless throws it's not the most important issue atm.

I think if it was up the other end we'd be fuming it wasn't given to be honest. I thought it was a penalty, but it's about time we got one our way.

It's not his fault that he keeps getting passed the ball with either the wrong weight, or to his wrong foot. As for the second half, I'd much rather see Faye on because I'm still worried we're going to concede. I'd almost go out to start the second half attacking, in the hope that we can get a second goal to kill the game off, because I can't see us holding out the second half without conceding.

Okay. He's Kevin Keegan, but I don't give a shit, if he was Sam Allardyce we'd be blasting the hell out of him with that team. If we don't win today, I'm blaming him for a poor team selection. Clearly not the best side we could've picked.

Bets on how long Owen will injure himself for ??

N'ZOGBIA IS SUSPENDED, NOTE, N'ZOGBIA IS SUSPENDED Given Beye Taylor Faye Enrique Milner Barton Emre Duff Martins Owen Although personally, I'd much rather Cacapa to Taylor.

He better not leave. But if he did, at least it's going to be in the summer, and I'd hope we'd get a decent fee for him. What I'm trying to say, is that if he did choose to leave, at least we'd be able to get a replacement.

Same here, but replace 'Sheffield' with 'Australia'

It's actually the opposite. Many people overrate him because he's a Geordie (albeit a Cockney one). One of the blocks he made he shouldn't have had to, if he was awake and marking like he should've done in the first place. And yet Faye, who has doen that sort of thing at least as much as Taylor this season, if not more, is lauded as a "beast", and a top player. Odd. Faye isn't slow. Faye isn't clumsy. Faye doesn't pass the ball back to given 555550000 times a match.
