Xisco? I'd say even the lad himself has forgotten if he's any good or not.

Corinthians 2008...

I'll be happy if the players don't collectively burst into tears as we approach kick off. I'll be happy if I dont burst into tears before kick off.

Still 0-0 at Villa Park between Villa and Stoke. C'MON VILLA!!!!!

Again.

Does he know what character is, because he doesn't show any signs of having one? Hes a fucking muppet, like.

Exactly. Look at Kuyt at Liverpool. OK, he's miles better than Shola but for someone like Dirk Kuyt to be playing for Liverpool is ridiculous, imo, he's way out of his depth. But to compensate for his lack of ability he run himself into the ground. For that, you can forgive someone for their lack of talent. This is not the case with Shola.

I think I'll just stay in bed for the rest of the week after this game. Might rid some of the pain and embarrassment that we're gonna suffer.

No proven, good manager wants to come to us at the moment. Until that changes we're stuck with utter garbage like Kinnear.

Well it looks like Boro and Blackburn are starting to get their act together so we could be in big trouble soon.

3 teams below us Even better...

The funny thing is that's completely untrue. Fine, maybe 'lazy' is the only thing they done have in common but do think he'd do any worse? I dont. Carroll's gotta start if Vidukas not fit.

Considering we have Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal within our next 5 fixtures that surely equals 0 points? 1 at best. Then we have a trip to Hull. Hull are showing their true colours now and I think we should get at least 1 point there. Our last game of the 5 is Stoke away. Thats gonna be very tough, a bit like today but more intense and physical. Stoke will be into us from the start and if we're not up to it we'll get nowt. Add to all of this that the 2 teams below us have a game in hand each it makes horrible reading. I fear for us....I really do. '7' for me.

Smith would do a better job than this useless, lazy, overpaid cunt!

Martins sure didnt look injured, so to take him off for Viduka makes fuck all sense. Useless. I'd rather play Smith than Ameobi for the rest of the season. At least he might work for the team.

Its normally canny hard when no one wants to come here.

Fucking disgrace today. How the fuck he can sleep at night at i dont know!!! WHY give him a THREE YEAR contract?!!! He is fucking shit.

NUFC 0-4 MUFC Im being kind.

Yeah, they are. Bassong and Davies are all over each other like a pair of newlyweds but other than that the long ball effect has been subdued.

Lovenkrands has been very poor this afternoon, imo. No end product....but in fairness he's winning a fair few free-kicks out on that right flank.

Every time Colo gets the ball at the back he fires a hopeful punt upto Ameobi which comes to nothing and we lose possession again. Very poor. The few times we've played a bit of football we've had them on the back foot. Bolton are a shit football team.

Its very simple- just get rid of the system completely!! Very straight forward. Look at Arsenal, they can unearth all these fantastic youth players because they have probably the best scouting network in the world. Not because they have a DOF.

I thought Bergkamp rounded Dabizas? I miss him...

Hmmmm......Imo, Shepherd makes a couple of valid points. BUT, he's not revealing a fraction of the bullshit he but us through. In fairness to Ashley at least he knows what the phrase 'value for money' means, something Shepherd had clearly never heard of. I agree that Ashley and co. are blaming the previous regime too much- just get on with the job for christ sake and maybe then you might get somewhere. But at least Ashley has put HIS own money into NUFC.....something Shepherd never did. All he did was take OUR money out of the club and into his bank account. Another good point FFS makes about the Ashley regime is their highly incompetent negotiation skills. They really are very poor. As he said, what sort of club asks the richest club n the world for instalments?!! Crazy. And the way our club refused to play hardball with City over Given's transfer is infuriating. BUT, Shepherd cant speak. Look at the way he handled the Boumsong and Luque transfers, and even the Owen one (we could've gotten him for a cheaper price, imo). He just threw money at them willy nilly. And the way Shepherd handled agents is shocking. A farce. The likes of Carr, Babayaro, Kluivert, Duff......they were all on over 50k a week! A WEEK! So really you have two extremes here. One chairman would break the world bank in a day, where you have the other one who would struggle to buy penny sweets. Their both as bad as eachother (maybe Shepherd a tad worse but its pretty close)

Decent coaching goes a long way. Defending isn't about talent, it's about coaching, discipline and organisation, without that talent is useless. Titus had the ability, but none of the rest, now he's getting it, it's no wonder you never see him having the piss ripped out of him on MOTD or whatever. Why did Andy O'Brien look like a kingpin at times under Bobby and Titus always looked like he was going to f*** up every two minutes? Whilst i agree that Bruce's faith in Bramble will have helped him, the main reason why he's performing much better is because he hasn't got 50,000 people on his back. Andy O'Brien never looked like a kingpin under Bobby tbh Yes he did. I'm with Ronaldo on this one- O'Brien just made me feel so nervous when he got on the ball. I've never been a fan of his,tbh. If we had a much better player alongside Woody, instead of O'Brien or Bramble, then we would've pushed Man Utd all the way.
