    Off Topic Aitor Karanka Sacked

    If we don't get much investment (if we go up) then I can see us being a lot like Boro this season. Solid but won't create enough chances against better opposition so won't score the goals to win games. Fast forward a year this could be Rafa going under similar circumstances. Really is a crucial...

    Ciaran Clarke- just how good is he?

    Clark may still be worth a go in the Prem. Of course you can argue he was struggling to get into the worst team in the league last season, but our current captain could barely get in the squad for us last season when we were clearly struggling in defence. It takes the right manager to see...

    Moussa Sissoko starts tonight for France against Iceland

    Some perspective here, doesn't it say something that an attacking player had the game of his life and still didn't score or assist a goal? Great, he can run...what a talent :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Transfer Rumours Michael Carrick

    What's Alan Smith doing these days? <whistle>

    If you could time jump ONE player from the past to help stop us dropping who would it be?

    Gary Speed. Would protect the defence and be the steady head we need in the middle of the park. And maybe grab a couple of goals from set pieces.

    The game in hand - Man City at home....

    Let's hope we don't do our usual thing of getting an opposition team back into form after their poor run.

    Mike Ashley - Innocent or Guilty?

    The problem I see with Keegan being DoF is the moment the manager/head coach/whatever had a bit of a bad run, the idiot fans would start calling for Keegan to take over. I couldn't see any decent manager wanting to potentially put himself in a position where the club's most loved manager was sat...

    Best game of the season - My thoughts on the Man utd game

    Just more evidence that they only care about playing the better sides. We need to get results from the lesser teams, we won't stay up otherwise.

    Transfer Rumours Henri Saivet- Done deal!!!

    Not overrated for a side in the bottom three

    Transfer Rumours Henri Saivet- Done deal!!!

    I'd go with that. Austin, Townsend and I would also go for Remy on loan. Mercenary or not we need some quality in the side and he has it.

    Transfer Rumours Alan Dzagoev

    If true it's the same old mistakes getting made, we're not learning anything. We need premier league experience not another gamble. The club deserves relegation for their arrogance.

    A satisfyingly solid performance - My thoughts on the Liverpool game

    Not letting this result affect how I see most of our players. I don't like them. It's telling that generally our best performances have been against the top teams. Where's this energy and work rate against the smaller teams?? Nowhere because they don't care. Watch us throw the towel in again...

    Mclaren has to go!

    Anyone can pick stats to suit their argument, that was mine. He's got more of a winning pedigree than anyone we've had since Robson and also compared to people we're getting linked with like Moyes. I seriously think the players are to blame for this mess, and no matter who else comes in we're...

    Mclaren has to go!

    Plus Fergie didn't seem to think he was so bad...
