Don't think it's anything to do with Kinnear, just he's a cautious bloke who knows the fans didn't want him in charge in the first place. It's certainly had an effect, running so many training sessions (on his own pretty much) that were 90% focused on defensive training. Playing Devil's advocate but who can argue with only 12 goals conceded in 21 games? Throw in 8 points clear at the top of the League and 3 manager of the month awards out of 4... We can all see the faults and deficiencies but he's got the results to back him up. Personally I'd say the clean sheets are more down to the quality of the back four and Smith's form than the actual tactics. Having said that, Smith is almost like a third centre back at times, although whether that's how he plays the DM role or what Hughton has told him to do is anyone's guess. Smith's form hasn't been good though. Then you are a bigger pessimist than I thought. He's had an excellent season so far, I'm not really sure how you can deny that. He hasn't been our best player, but he's done his job very well, particularly in away games.

Their striped ones are awful.

Unless Boro have agreed for him to just stay at theirs and train with them if a deal is already done?

Claridge has a great knack to manage to be talking, yet saying nothing whatsoever at the same time.

Puma. Not bad.

Wow, class goal by Sarfampton

what a gormless sod Clem is

STOP WASTING TIME YOU FUCKING STUPID MARE

To be fair to Hughton, Simpson has been a great loan signing, Harewood has been naff but has the same goals tally as Carroll in far fewer games, Khizanishvili has been a bit rubbish but mainly cover. Two out of three ain't bad?

That Christmas tree, fucks sake

Why the fuck did they show extended highlights of a game with ONE FUCKING GOAL

David McGoaldrought

omg, a replay

fuck off Clem

Die-hards like you stuck around until the final whistle though. Fucking scum Not quite, we left also to avoid the queues for the park and ride. What did you do when Sunderland scored?? Staying in your seat would surely give it away We (me and the other non-mackem) discussed this in the car, we ended up deciding to stand up but do nothing else.

Nice volley by Elliott.

Oh, and Kaboul's goal emptied half the ground. Managed to spot stupid twat in the Pompey hat also from my seat.

I went to their game today (free ticket, last minute) and they were shite tbf. Nosworthy was their best attacking player, says it all really. Dirty fucking mackem. I wouldn't have sent you updates had I known you were there before your text at the end. I didn't get any of them till I left the stadium. My mate (also a mag, there was 2 spares) sitting with me was getting them off someone else (although the useless cunt texted "2-1" when we asked for the score and all we knew was it was 1-1 ), as I left the stadium my phone went mental and you'd sent about nine texts. But cheers anyway. We also made more noise during the u8's game at half time than during the rest of the game. Had to sit on my hands during the Pompey goal.

West Ham, are down to ten men! Erm, no, nine men... Dyer is on the pitch.

Awwwwwwww unlucky Kieron you PRICK

We currently have 4/5 forwards on our books and 2 centre halves. Top journalism. :lol:

"What do you mean even me?" Oh, sorry Gabby. I forgot you used to be a man, apologies.
