Colocho

Bottom of the league for the first time since?

Worst goal difference in the league, and bottom of it if Spurs win today. 8 first-team injuries, no manager and the club up for sale.

Only a fool wouldn't take 17th place right now.

If David Edgar was a decent player, he would be in the Canadian national team.

It speaks volumes of him as a player, that he is still playing for the U20s.

Coloccini was shocking today, yet another foreign mercenary.

Well, I've seen Colo play in that position for the Argies and he has looked better than Mascherano and Cambiasso.

Just back from the match.

 

f***ing shambles. We could definately be flirting with relegation this year.

West Ham are pretty poor and we actually created enough chances to win.

 

Defending was diabolical, anyone giving Taylor grief wants to check out Colo, one of the

current "European scouting system" golden boys. Maybe he would look solid in a

competent, tried and tested, defence but he is as poor as anyone at the moment.

 

Duff is finished, as many of us already know, the last time he actually beat a player he was

wearing the blue of Chelsea. Totally shot to pieces.

 

N'zogbia, biggest footballing fraud on the pitch, an a coward to boot, I don't care if he

doesn't want to play left back. He is fully equipped to be able to play that role comfortably.

He's just not interested. Edgar at right back? Give me strength.

 

Xisco is well off the PL pace at the moment. Despite the midfield pairing of Cacapa and Butt we

actually didn't seem to have too many problems in the middle, a testement to how poor West Ham were, it

seemed to be down the wings we were exposed.

 

So much for the continental scouting system, we've been crying out for a left back, was it Wise et al who

were trying to sign Warnock? Seems more like a Keegan type buy to me. To actually strengthen in a position

we were weak.

 

Not meant to be an incisive footballing analysis. I was too angry/pissed by the second half. I'm still blaming

Ashley for putting us in this situation and believe that Keegan could at least keep this shower up.

 

Secondly, I blame the players, not enough heart, rolled over too easily. A lot of finger pointing/shirking of

responsibility after the first goal. All in all a  bag of s****. 

I went to this joke of a game today, and I think you have got it absolutely spot on.

If we have to play Cacapa, why the fuck would you play him in midfield when we have a world-class defensive midfielder at the club.

Liverpool wouldn't have established themselves as a top 4 club over the last 6 years without Gerrard.

I'd be incredibly happy with 1-1.

Maybe the magical return of Duff and Martins will see us beat them 2-0 as we did in the same fixture 2 years ago.

Oh well, lets hope we get some players back fit for this and maybe a proper manager..

 

IF no one comes back from injury the team will pick itself really

 

 

--------------Given

 

Edgar----Tayl-----Colo-----Bass

 

Gez------Butt-----Nacho---Zogg

 

---------Owen------Xisco

I'd agree with this.

I was sure we should have played a 4-4-2 last week and had Zoggy on the left with Bassong at left-back.

We can get a draw.

I wonder how many people voting yes bother going to games?

 

It like some are playing Championship Manager, after having a s*** start you shut it off and start a new game.

Except this is real.

Does anyone seriously believe Mike 'sensible plan' Ashley will allow his investment to drop in value so much (ie us going down)? Come off it.

 

He says he will sell, and I believe him. If we are playing very poorly, it'll just make him act quicker. And then for the new buyer the first point comes back into play...

He's trying to sell us for £481 million ... Who's going to pay that for us in the condition we are in right now?

Looking at the current squads in the rest of the league frankly, I am shitting myself. This will be the most competitive season in the history of the Premiership. With the exception of the top 4, who can honestly say they can accurately predict the other 16 places!?

The only thing that encourages me is that surely Ashley isn't going to let his asset be devalued to the point where we are relegated and therefore worth a lot less to him. But looking at his antics and those of his cohorts I'm not confident by any means. If they cannot find us a left back how can they find us a buyer FFS?

 

Precisely.

The more we protest, the less likely we are to find a new buyer.

Gerrard Liverpool wouldnt finish 4th without him

Agreed.

I honestly think this season could be one of the hardest yet. I think we could go down this season.

I take it it's all free?

Having shown the power we can wield as fans, now that Ashley and his cockney cronies have put the club up for sale, it's time for Stage 2 of the action plan.

 

Potential billionaire owners need to be identified and targeted for a vocal, slightly intimidating but peaceful campaign. Groups of 50 fans should mobilise at Shearer's bar on a given date and demand said owner buys the club. If there are 4 billionaires, maybe hold demonstrations on alternate days.

 

Suitable banners and placards could be waved in front of SSN tv crews e.g. for the Chinese consortium, a Cockneys Out, Yakuza IN!! slogan ould be catchy and regionally challenged.

 

More ideas and plans needed. Watch this space.

:colo:

There are clear physio/medical problems at our club, and have been for years.

10 weeks? Sadly, I think his career will decline from here on.

And taunts us in the process. Fuck off you fat cunt Ashley.

Should never have sold Scott Parker.

Time to give Smith a chance.

He looked faster on the vids I seen of him, but a good grafter and he did cause problems, make Hull panic defend a few times..

He's lacking fitness.
