Just read about him being in hospital. I was always told if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all so I'll leave it at that.

Nothing to suggest there's any real quality there. Add that to the fact that the players we have are generally a bunch of spineless b@stards and it's clear we're in a spot of bother here.

And you'd trust those in charge of player recruitment to bring in the players we need?

So far he's been even worse than we expected. Good chance he could go from being in the Ligue 1 worst XI for 14/15 to the Premier League worst XI in 15/16. Graham Carr wants shot with sh!t.

Think he has to go now. But what about the people who appointed him? Will they be given the opportunity to appoint yet another dud?

Over 50,000 there today Mugs.

Vardy will play. No doubt about it.

Please form an orderly queue.....

Glad we've got Thauvan and Cabella to come back instead. And to think we managed to sign the pair of them for £25m whilst letting Ben Arfa go for nowt. Charnley/Carr/Moncur certainly know their stuff.

Pretty sure it was used on the 10/10 video that was produced around Xmas 1992 to celebrate winning our first 10 games (even though it was actually 11).

4 nowt now

And instead of having 8,000 empty seats at home games we'd have 16,000 spare seats and what little atmosphere there is left at SJP would be sucked out completely.

Your son is smarter than you.

Very sad news. RIP

With Kinnear before them.

He's absolutely hopeless mind. The game just passes him by and he's too small and lightweight to play in his position in this league. We'll always be overrun in midfield as long as he's in the team.

Aye, but there is no evidence right now to suggest we're turning a corner any time soon. Well, I think we're performing better and we seem to be developing an understanding. We had about 5 chances to win the game today and dominated it almost throughout. Obviously it's concerning that we didn't manage it. We played far better on the opening day of the season (against a far better team) than we did today mind.

It's the results that'll decide whether or not we stay up. Based on what we've done so far and our ridiculous record of not scoring in 6 of our 11 league games whilst conceding an average of 2 goals a game suggests we're going to struggle regardless of anything else.

Don't think so. A team that manages 1 point from 2 home games against Watford and Stoke and loses to sunderland, supposedly the worst team in the league probably isn't going to be fine. Bournemouth next week is massive.

We've failed to score in 6 out of our 11 league games - more than half. We can't keep saying the opposition goalkeeper is too good. Proper finishers give the goalkeeper no chance.

Some bullshit comment about how season tickets continue to sell in high volume and SJP is full to capacity at home games so no need to worry, nothing needs to change. Chatting to Marshall earlier he mentioned "50,000 every game" and caught my reaction so corrected himself to say "well not last week" then realised and said "or the game before" Apparently I'll be talking to Steve Tickle next They messed up with their season ticket pricing. A standard 1 year season ticket in the Gallowgate is £600. To put that into perspective an equivalent seat at Sunderland (our nearest PL club) is £390. You're talking £710 if you want to sit in the East Stand. Put simply it's too much to pay for most people in this part of the country and the football and general match day experience doesn't warrant that sort of outlay anyway. The thing is I believe the club realise they have priced their season tickets far too high which is why we're probably the only club in the country where it's cheaper to pay match by match rather than buy a season ticket (usually I'd say buying a season ticket would equate to 3/4 games a season worth of savings as a rule). They've tried to justify this by increasing match day prices slightly but this, coupled with a big drop in season ticket sales (regardless of them trying to tell us otherwise) is the main reason crowds are down and will continue to fall further. Not sure how they can reverse this downward spiral. An obvious way would be to slash season ticket prices across the board which, if we stayed up, wouldn't be an issue with the huge increase in TV revenue but with people on all sorts of different fixed deals it may not be possible to do it. Either way they've created this mess so it's down to them to sort out the problem of ever increasing empty seats at home games. Nah sorry the main reason sales are down is the standard of the team over a number of years - if we had a team consistently in the top half and an owner/board showing signs of ambition and without the total crass mismanagement we would have no problem with season ticket sales. I can afford season ticket and have for 40 year but I refuse to go to watch substandard football and a board openly and constantly taking the p*ss out of its supporters. Ticket prices are a huge factor and is the reason we couldn't even get 50,000 against Man Utd last season but had 52,000 against the likes of Leicester, QPR and Burnley because tickets are 15 or 20 quid cheaper. I had a season ticket for 24 years up until this season. I got an email off NUFC saying tickets were available for today priced from £30. Would I pay £30 to watch that team play? Well the fact I'm sitting in the house typing this gives you the answer. Would I have paid £15-£20? Aye I probably would because I think that represents reasonable value for money given the standard of our team and the league we play in. I agree with a lot of what you say and it isn't solely the ticket prices keeping me away, the way the club has been run for the best part is the main reason, other reasons include the fact I find the football, atmosphere and the PL in general boring as well. Another big reason is the amount of games that are totally ruined by the referee these days, not what you want when tickets are so expensive but cheaper tickets would certainly help sway people who are in 2 minds about whether to go along or not.

The one question I would like to ask is "Since Mike Ashley took control of the club in 2007 it has lost around 10,000 (or 25%) of it's season ticket holders. Why do you think that is and what can you do to try to attract them back or even bring in new ones?" No doubt they'd refuse to answer it.

You can guarantee they'll have all been patting each other on the back about them at this latest fans forum meeting they've just had.
