McGrath?

Crumbs this is exciting - I wonder if Gabby can catch Barry up? 102 plays 15 atm.

Barry's bottom?

I have a delightful mental picture one person frantically trying to hit the white box after "flop" time and time again.

Warmly seconded: great stuff OBE.

I can't believe that anybody in their right mind could possibly vote for anyone other than those I've voted for on these three polls.

Put me down, John. For Ridgewell that is. I haven't considered Bouma because I think he was perfectly OK last season anyway, apart from being out injured and taking ages to get back.

Ridgewell.

Wes Brown = cock-up merchant.

Miguel is very good going forward. Not too good as a defender though. Still, he'd be an improvement on what we've got, along with quite a few others who are no doubt fed up with playing in the ECL, as you suggest.

Hoof!!! :oops:

And yet with a weaker squad and a shit chairman we stayed up last season. Incredible! Let's hope we manage it this year too. I expect we will.

If, if, if, if, who cares anyway?

Spell-checkers are great but... I never said that. I said* the manager who led us to our worst defensive record in ten years wouldn't have been in charge of a capitulation last night. * Only I didn't say that (sometimes you manage to put words in people's mouths, sometimes you don't). I simply said that your AFFIRMATION was rubbish. Since when you have stated that it was just an opinion. In fact it was a supposition. Anyway, I've now answered your last post. Shan't do it twice!

thats opinion and not fact, and its also not accurate. When he had an injury free team to pick from the corresponding fixture last season we won 4-0. What's that? My suggestion that we would have caved in and lost 3-0 had O'Leary been in charge last night is not fact? Thanks for pointing that out, mate. You made it sound like it was. As if your word was the only word out there, whatever newspaper you claim to represent. Nothing new there. Changing the subject, if one may, Faust, how do you rate our attacking prowess so far this season by the way? 3 against Leicester, 3 against... erm, erm, ah well, I guess they may have got a few in some friendly game. Of course, if DOL had still been in charge no doubt we wouldn't just gave got 1s and 2s, we'd have minus quantities in the "for" column, correct? Too much West Brom, too much Morrissey and too much lager IMHO. FWIW I don't think it's a problem of DOL, MON or whoever the manager may be.

last season we did seem to roll over and die at times and it was very rare that DOL would make tactical changes at half time to have a positive impact so i don't think it's crazy to suggest we would have lost by a few goals last night. On the contrary, DOL made earlier (I don't know if more timely) substitutions than MON. For different reasons both should, I think, have made MORE substitutions but MON has often seemed to wait an eternity. Why is it, by the way, that last season, whatever he did, whatever he said was always wrong? And why is it that it's now starting all over again only this time with MON? What is the common denominator? The Irish O' ? The players? Or perhaps the fans who all seem to know exactly what the manager should be doing but can't seem to agree on what that should be? A clue - it certainly ain't the O'. Edit: Oh yeah LAST NIGHT MON made some early substitutions. And then there was the gamble with Hughes that didn't pay off. But I mean in general.

Is that a fact?

What absolute rubbish.

I wonder if had DOL had still been in charge some people would have wanted us to lose to Scunthorpe or Leicester.

There's always huge letters!

Spot on.

Can you prove that?

Zat Knight is perfectly dreadful. I pray daily that he will join Birmingham City (or whatever they call themselves these days) and wear their shirt for many years. Ugh!.

Great post, Trekka.
