    I believe the cup final is currently masking a few problems. We look a poor side to me

    I'm making a criticism of the manager. That's all. My opinion is he should have played a stronger team against Arsenal. I'm going to leave it now because this could get out of hand and I'm determined not to let that happen.

    If a referee is so **** that he gives every decision to one side, which was almost the case this evening, then he certainly gives the appearance of being biased, whether he actually is or not. Roger East will hopefully have better games than this evening's. I most sincerely hope he doesn't have many worse ones.

    Answer: no I wouldn't because I am not an expectant fan and I am prepared to give him time. Lawrie took us down in his first season. Turned out ok.

    Question back: why would you take the final out? You can't remove it, because it is fact. We have reached the final. Puel has taken us there.

    It'll only get out of hand if you let it.

    All I'm saying is, before you criticise the manager, think about the way you feel when people critics the referees. That's all.

    Stop screaming and shouting and swearing and be a little more understanding. Perhaps pretend Puel is a referee :)

    It's also predictable when we win. Everyone's happy.

    When I said the referee was biased I was referring to how Swansea got pretty much every decision possible whereas we did not. I'm not saying that he cheated. I'm saying he had such a bad game that the balance of his decisions were very favourable of Swansea. This is not the first time a referee will seem favourable towards certain opposition (in any game of football) and certainly sing be the last. Referees are not untouchable.

    Maybe I was little hot headed regarding referees but some 16 year old chav had the nerve to call me a cheat to my face on Sunday so maybe I saw red a little quickly. Mind you, that kid saw red even quicker. :)

    I would give him till the summer to turn it around.

    Now imagine we hadn't missed all those sitters and had 10 extra points. Go on imagine. what would you say then?

    (Just as silly a question)

    We lost again to a team that isn't that good. We seem to do that. Lose to teams that are not that good.

    Understandable you are sensitive on the subject, but as others have said, try and take a deep breath when you see things you disagree with on here?

    10 extra points in league? Would be safe in the job but maybe question his style. We're not as pretty as we were to watch, ATM it's all about results and stopping a slide.

    Largely because of the inadequacy of what he has at his disposal.

    Possibly.

    Too early to tell until he gets some better, fit, players.

    I don't know about everyone else but when Adkins was sacked I failed to see who could get any better out of the squad we had.

    Personally I for one am worried with the current trend in results and think 40 points seems some way off at the moment. No CB signing and we could be in for a nasty finish to the season
