Les Ferdinand. A solitary goal........

2 world wars, 1 world cup Here are new ones noone's thought of: no more plastics!

and the prawn sandwich brigade who have no intention of attending the Madstad outside of the Premiership.

Guthrie is what we have in the team now, McDermott wanted a creative player who does not have enough quality to play behind the ST. Stick him in centre midfield or just in front of the CBs and you will see the best out of him. You need defensive, creative players and attacking players in the prem a...

Sadly our season was defined by taking 1 point out of a possible 12 against QPR, Saints, Villa and Sunderland - teams in and around where we are. To survive now we have to average approx 1.5 points per game. 1pt out of 15 you forgot Wigan... All were away fixtures. :wink: Still homes games to come....

but compared to us, QPR are a better one. Imagine Fernandez gets bored there, pulls his funding, and leaves them with that squad, in the Championship.... Seems as if Harry is finding similarities with Portsmouth. A furious Redknapp revealed after his side’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle that he had fined...

Mr.T10

Royal Dee This. Our centre Midfield particular has been the problem. We don't have the fine balance of attacking, defensive and creative.

When did we last have a creative midfield player?

How many goals have our midfield players scored this season?

RFCSPACE Based on this weekend we deserve to be higher,

Not going to win many games with 8 defenders on the pitch.

A boring 0-0 would be an achievement.

Whatever the outcome of this season. Let's get the defence sorted out. Last season the problems were so very apparent. This year against clinical finishers we're paying the price.

Super_horns I noticed before today he changed the view that Villa would go down...I guess he might do another u-turn now.

and I thought that the standard of our defending this season has been no better than league 1 standard..........

urz13 It takes a millisecond to jump, he may have been just about to.

Given where the ball was crossed from. There was plenty of time to position himself.

As a defender Shorey's aim should have been to clear the ball from the cross.

Not sure what he was attempting to do. On this occasion made the wrong call.

chilipepper91 Cummings was abysmal - got utterly destroyed in the first half and for their first 3 goals.

Wenger targeted the weakness. Kebe doesn't offer any protection.

To sustain premiership football. The ground capacity has to be increased to boost gate receipts.

RFCUK I could see teams coming for:

Le Fondre
Pog
Kebe
Morrison

Unlikely to be premiership teams.

White Rougier Would rather drag harper back from non league than play that clown

Saw Harper playing for Doncaster recently. Well past his best.......

SPARTA I'm sure I've missed an awful lot.

Start with a premiership quality back 4 plus keeper.

Then a defensive holding player.

Then midfield/wide players that can hold and pass the ball.

The Premiership....... the league where money has ruined the beautiful game.

We can only hope, The Brian out brigade is growing bigger by the week, and he should realise that, turning a blind eye to huge public opinion is like burying your head in the sand and hoping it will go away. Judging by some of the performances last season. This season shouldn't really come as much ...

Bit of a silly statement to make. Are you saying Brian is the best manager in the world? because there is plenty of BETTER managers being linked with us that could potentially turn it around, im not saying its garenteed but all we can do is try. FACT -McDermott is not doing well in this league. Lik...

windermere_royal Goodness fecking me, this makes hard reading, all those celebrations in May mean nothing now because we don`t like being where we are now up among the elite of English football,

That's the issue for me. Is it elite or overblown?

I suspect the former.

I still love football, but I really hate all the money-grabbing commercialism that goes with it these days, and the higher up the leagues you get the more of that you get. It's particularly bas this season in the PL - far worse than last time up. Agree totally. Definately more fun in the Lower Leag...
