FOR FUCK'S SAKE MAN, I looked at the form tables before making this week's predictions (don't usually do this) and was seriously considering going for a draw last night. Probably 2-2. Chelsea aren't winning at home and Southampton's recent form isn't bad. Need to start going with my gut.

Why the self-enforced "2 windows on the trot" rule? You can't be pissed off at 1 transfer window and expect them to correct it sharpish? As it stands, we're a player up and a player down in this window. We need at least 2 top players in before February 1st. Last summer we lost players from the squad and the wage bill but as usual decided to take the risk and test the bare minimum we could get away with. And why have they ignored the centre back position since Sol Campbell left? This is the FOURTH window since then and we've basically chanced our luck with 3 centre halves (1 top class, 1 ropey if you're being charitable, and 1 with a proven track record of spending half of most seasons recovering from injury) and also a jack-of-all-trades in James Perch who has filled in at times. Since we got promoted Mike Williamson has played in the league 29 times, 22 times and 17 times so far this season. That's not good enough. You seem to be blinded by the fact that we've managed to bring a few good players in, while conveniently forgetting that a lot of the other players are some of the worst shite we've ever had in the top division. Why did we go 1 window without replacing Sol Campbell, never mind get on to the 4th window with the manager saying he doubted we could afford both a striker and a centre half? The irony is that most or all of the good signings that you're clinging on to for the sake of your argument will leave out of frustration at the lack of even moderate ambition shown, the fact they're playing with shite players every week, battling relegation. And that's without the manager issues. There's a chronic lack of investment, even a net spend of around £10m a season would have plugged the gaps and kept us ticking over, but we always seem to find excuses for not spending any money whatsoever and leaving ourselves criminally short. I'm fucking sick of turning up to matches and watching Shola, Williamson et al, the fact that you're not can only be down to you being such an all-seeing, all-knowing, NUFC fan-hating bore of a person.

Howay man, there's offering your views and there's being a patronising twat. Perfect example is you calling people "silly" and "daft" when they're rightly concerned for the club, giving perfectly articulated and reasoned arguments for whatever dismay they may have. But no, the argument is just "silly" or "daft". It's very condescending, and already it's as tedious reading this shite on here as it was on my Facebook. But you know best, better than than the majority, all of the time. I understand. Anyway, I'm off to bed.

Fuck off man. Tit.

I don't envy whoever will have to sift through the 'questions'. Definitely a job for the intern As long as they're not trying to flog tat from the club shop I'll be happy. It genuinely infuriates me how poorly our social media presence is utilised. I don't even take notice of the club's tweets now because of the spam from the club shop. Would like to know if other clubs do that from their official accounts? I've had a timeline containing every Premier League clubs tweets open for about 12 months now (work related, I'm not just a dull bastard) and we're the only club who spam on that scale. Other clubs link occasionally, but we're relentless. Not just the spam, but the content we post is dross too. Compare our output to that of a club like Liverpool, who are genuinely innovative in what they're doing and probably making cash off the back of it as well, and you'd think we're a bloody conference outfit. Thank God you've pre-empted the inevitable "All clubs do it, we only notice it because it's our club" post from madras. I was beginning to think that could be applied to any situation without a reply.

I don't think £3m is all we were prepared to spend last summer necessarily, but if we'd somehow fluked out and managed to spend £10m, £15m, £20m or whatever, I think we'd have moved heaven and Earth to then shift one of our more valuable assets to compensate. I'm basing that on years of us spending fuck-all in net terms.

Yeah, it's weird.

I really hope we don't just buy a big physical centre forward like, would leave us in exactly the same quandary we've been in all season. Obviously if it's that or nothing I'll take that like.

I like him.

Ah, my mistake. Aye, it looks like it'll be really tight like. If I had to put money one way or the other though, I'd bet on them staying up. If they get 5 or 6 points from their next 4 games I think the other sides will start getting worried about them.

They haven't picked up 14 points mind, Dave's stats included cup games. They've picked up 10 points from 9 games.

Just checked out their fixtures - Manchester clubs-aside, they have mostly fairly winnable fixtures right up until the end of April. I know it's not as simple as that but I can see them doing it.

Actually, it's still quite a tall order - I've just worked out that if they continue with their league form since he took over (W2/D4/L3) until the end of the season, they'll end up on 32 points. I reckon he'll help them get the extra few points they need though, they've got a bit of momentum.

I agree he'll keep them up.

What's wrong with being gay like, you puff?

We really need to cast our net further in scouting terms, fucking ridiculous scenario when we're crying out for reinforcements and our pool of targets seems so limited.

It had crossed my mind that this might happen, but I'm really surprised because this hasn't occurred recently. Usually when we get to this stage we get the player.

Classic case of running out of characters there. Football certainly is running out of characters, hence the reason everyone hangs off that daft cunt's every word. I know what you meant though btw, I'm not daft. Anyway, Redknapp said this the other day: Maybe Remy's not that sold on either club, still has his eye on someone bigger and has bought into the shop window stuff (with his QPR contract offer weighted accordingly). Whatever, if he goes to QPR I'll be really pissed off like.

Yeah, would be in full favour of this. Remy: "I know we agreed a deal, but QPR have offered £30k more..." Us: "Enjoy relegation " Him: You too, lads.

Nice.

Blocked. Psyche.
