    I cant believe my club can implode the way it has. Before the Euros I was nervously predicting a lower mid table comfortable finish. Roy Hodgson and the players make a right pigs ear of everything causing a domino effect which has totally shown our club as a total embarrassment. Sick and tired of supporting them. People need sacking from top to near bottom.

    You might be right mate. I don't know what the Khazri situation is, I think we're basing him being unhappy on a single tweet. For all we know he's raring to go. Kone...I don't have a clue what will end up happening with him. If Everton don't follow up their interest then he might be happy to knuckle down even if only to try and impress for a move.

    No intensity at all. The game has been far too easy for the mutants.

    Who knows, it's all speculation but the fact on the last substitution Asoro came on tells me Khazri won't be here in a fortnight's time..

    And we are gonna be playing catch up with possibly the squad/club in as worse shape as it has ever been. Why couldn't we get a suprise win or two like Hull? Cant really blame the manager or the players on the pitch today, just gotta hold our hands up and say 'we're not good enough, we are going down with this squad at present.'

    We all claim to know the answer, but are we aware of all the current problems? Played like strangers the first half, but somehow I feel Januzaij should be sent back to ManU.

    How the hell is Guzan keeping out Valdes? Guzan is one of the worst goalkeepers I've ever seen in this league.

    Unlucky lads, but seen that result coming a mile off, your squad is anorexic.

    I guess we will now find out how good Moyes is. Also how ambitious Short is. That squad would struggle in the Championship. I just hope we have irons in the fire to bring in some quality, otherwise, no chance.

    Could that be because a lot of them are strangers

    First half was a ****ing abortion, no doubt about that.
    Better in the second half but too little too late.

    The only way that we can attract players of the needed quality is to pay them over the odds in wages. We will also be quoted ridiculous prices for them by their clubs, especially as they will be more aware that we are obviously desperate. For these two reasons I cant see us getting players in who are gonna be good enough. If I'm wrong then I would have thought that we would have getting M'Vila by now. Cant see him coming now....too late. The towns squad totally pisses on ours, and they are in the championship. How the **** can that be possible? Cos our organisation behind the scenes is a shambles.

    Well, I got the score right, just the wrong way round.

    Our reserve team had their moments today with Gooch and Watmore putting a good shift in.
    Also, PVC looked ok at times.
    However, this is a poor side. Probably our worst for many many years and unless big money is invested we are currently certs for relegation.

    Are we going after Derby Countys' record?
    I think, without big changes, we'll beat it this season.

    It's a huge ten days for us, I just don't know what to expect (but knowing us, I suppose I'll be disappointed)...lets hope for some reasons to be cheerful.

    Also, all this farting about over M'Vila is getting right on my tits. A £15+ million player but we won't pay £5 million, trying to save a million or something. It's not as if we need him is it.

    The team at the end of last season would have murdered today's 11 (I know, some were in that team but you know what I mean)

    He looks like a solid prem standard player to me. Pat on the back for him.

    As I just put on the other thread, there's no way he's below Borini, Watmore, Gooch, Januzaj, Pienaar, Lens and Asoro in terms of pure talent - there MUST be something going on behind the scenes.

    Shame, we really could have used his dead ball delivery today - Januzaj's is appalling.

    Too much to do in so little time! Even if we get players in who offer hope they will take time to gel meaning we will still be playing catch up as per usual, which is soul destroying. Fed up with supporting these bastards.

    Aye 2 games in throw in the towel we're down.

    I saw Djilibodji Pienaar and Gooch which I will take hope from today. One Worldy and a shocking second to concede. Wonder if Khazri will play Tuesday. Was strange that Asoro came on. Thought with more luck we'd have got a point. Obviously need players but no idea what's actually happening!

    The crowd around me straight on Watmores back when he played a poor pass. 2 minutes later Defoe plays just as poor a pass and gets applauded for being unlucky. Why not give all of them support. Might make a difference.
