Geordie Ahmed

I'm not nervous at the moment BUT I work with Mackems and no doubt if I see the smugness on their faces I will badly want us to stay up for that reason alone

So you have went from saying he isn't very good to he is mediocre The truth is somewhere in between actually

What positives are there to staying up? I didn't say any positives, just less negatives If we stay up. Those who think Ashley is going to sell up if we go down are fooling themselves. I don't think anyone reckons he will definitely sell up BUT that it is more likely he will do so and staying in the Premier League is canny shit as it is so relegation is worth it

What positives are there to staying up?

He will be the "saviour"

Way over the top. He's a crap footballer but I wish him well when he leaves as it's not his fault he's getting games and he seems to be a decent person. Don't want him to die like, even though I don't buy this decent bloke stuff, I think he's proven the last few months he's an absolute c*** personally. Hasn't done anything apart from being a bad footballer has he? Talking about Carver isn't he?

I don't think there will be, apathy has well and truly kicked in, we don't care enough to kick off

I want us to stay up but there is no glory in us staying up. Considering the circumstances we find ourselves in I'll be happy to stay up but I won't be celebrating it. Surely that's because if you celebrated the Hull fans would kick your head in?

Class save from the Depor keeper

Should have been 2-0, Messi incorrectly ruled offside

because we are so crap they don't need to waste time training?

compensation from who?

Sissoko under a decent manager is worth keeping

The thing that Sports Direct has going for it is people don't think there are any alternatives, the amount of times I hear people saying "no where else to buy cheap football socks" etc so negative publicity doesn't have the same impact on Sports Direct

Steve McClaren would be a crap appointment BUT typical of Ashley He is clearly better than Carver BUT so is a blind monkey, doesn't mean we should be happy with that

Definitely, he's the type of player we have needed in this slump - someone who can make something out of nothing. I just fail to understand why he is loved on here when in reality compared to others, he has contributed very little and made an arse out of his own career. There is no doubt he's a talented footballer. Because the way he plays is highly likely why most of us fell in love with football and the kind of football we dreamed about Unless of course you dreamt about Gouffran running 15 yards and then passing the ball 10 yards to Colback? I can totally understand that and as I have said, I loved his moments of magic. But the reality is, a lot of the time he did not show up. Sterling has been hammered on here recently for not showing up certain games, similar player, similar attitude. That isn't the reality though, it's something you're just saying to suit your agenda whilst ignoring the mitigating factors behind why his form may have been up and down. Sterling is a good point, although I don't think he's capable of anything close to the ridiculous things Ben Arfa could pull off. We're football fans, we'll make stupid, hypocritical comments about other players from other teams, you could look hard enough and you'd find people slagging off Eden Hazard and Diego Costa for not turning up, actually scratch that, you could click on the Messi thread and see people saying the same things about Christiano Ronaldo It is reality though, HBA has been passed from team to team for a reason - some of which the public will probably never know. All I am saying is a player of his quality has the potential to be playing for a top team, but he isn't. There are clear reasons why on the field and apparently reasons off it too. I'd rather have him in our team, but he isn't. I'd rather watch him than Ameobi trying to mount the back of somebody, but I can't. If we live in the past we just all become bitter and twisted. The way I view HBA (which may be different to yours) is a quality player who for one reason or another never met his potential. Our current players are getting hammered for "not giving their all", HBA frequently didn't give his all. That's bullshit HBA always wanted the ball and always tried things, it didn't always work BUT it was certainly more successful and exciting than the utter dross that was played instead of him

I sometimes wonder if people have missed the fact he's lost nearly every game horribly. I desperately want to stop supporting this club/team. Yep, that is probably the one positive of Carver getting the job on a permanent basis, it will probably take me to the don't give a crap anymore stage

Nah, replacing him with someone employed to pick up cones was the mistake. I kna. It would be like Lewis Hamilton complaining about his tyres wearing and his fitters throwing a hissy fit and being like "Well let's see how you get on with NO TYRES! I bet you feel silly now!" This is actually a great analogy. It is It's class, used a few times already against Pardew lovers

10th is being generous, battling relegation is more his level

so Carver won't be having a press conference then

So like the rest of the team, aye? Pretty much. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if he was still here, it would make literally no difference to our league position. You honestly don't think he could have won us a game in this wretched run we have?

So like the rest of the team, aye?

Hang on a second. Let's not pretend this is unique to England. Isco to Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos to Real Madrid off the top of my head. This isn't a Moses, Sinclair, Rodwell, generic flavour of the month type. We just signed the Ajax captain in the summer. Where was the complaints about football gone mad? Are you even following the discussion at all? De Jong is not some little scrote that was making a big fuss, and releasing stupid statements via his dumb agent. What a terrible and silly argument. Are we ignoring the fact it was Rodgers that first blabbed to the media about it? I don't think Sterling handled it brilliantly BUT he would not have done interviews if Rodgers didn't try to pressure him into it So because Rodgers jumps off a tall building, Sterling should too? Whose reputation is going to suffer more? Who is going to have to deal with all of the fallout from this? The boy is incredibly stupid IMO. Mint logic that Rodgers comments caused problems for Sterling and he felt he had to defend his point and highlight it wasn't about the money, whether he went the best way about it doesn't matter
