    Good Morning Everyone,

    In the same way that it is important for children to believe in Santa Clause, it is imperative that football fans can believe in their club.

    It is very difficult to do that when you go one down in 17 seconds!

    Why shouldn't we believe against the odds that Evans' men were able to defeat the mighty Blackburn; a team that until last night had not scored a goal in three games, and should have been low on confidence.

    Cellino had taken control of the stadium’s pre-match music. The Leeds team were sent out last night to the sound of D:Ream’s Things Can Only Get Better. Was that supposed to be a joke?

    It seemed we had gone back to our old ways with the 'long ball' We might as well have had Danny De Vito as the target man.

    Does anyone think we could get 1m for Wood. Perhaps we could swap him for some magic beans?

    Not sure if the goals were Silvestri's fault but Evans said after the game that he didn't get the PL keeper he was after. Says the keeper isn't fit but will be available in the few weeks. He's going to look elsewhere.

    Phil Hay summed it up perfectly last night with his final post :-

    The bottom line with #lufc seems to be this: no-one outside the club has any confidence in any of the people in it. Chronic disillusionment.

    Morning.

    I will address this to just Boggers, chesh and the lurking Mike........
    Do any of you still think we are not in a relegation dog fight?


    The rest of you, who believes we will stay up?

    Everybody, what is the biggest single problem with the club? How does it get fixed?

    Morning Matt and all. I only watched parts of the game. Far too crap and depressing. The club is like a decaying corpse. To be honest I'm hoping for relegation. Clubs not fit for championship and at least with relegation, Cellino might have to sell at a knock down price. Nobody will buy at current valuation he'd have on it. My 82 year old dad who's been to many games with me, including the 97 wembley fiasco, rated this as the worst he has ever watched and vowed never to look at a live game again. Says it all

    Morning... Well things got worse last night so bad taste and choice of music.

    Saying we are after a new keeper must fill Silvestre with confidence.

    Given up any hope of progress while Cellino owns us, hoping he gets kicked out for good, take Evans with him and if that means rebuilding AGAIN from division one bring it on.

    Promotion in 2 years, not a chance.

    This will take a bit of beating for being appropriate.

    Morning Matt. <ok>

    Two obvious things spring too mind.

    (1) Santa only disappoints kids once a year, whereas you lot are constantly disappointed pretty much every game with the current status quo ER circus in place.

    (2) With your dire home record the music should be changed to the funeral march.

    Other than that, we know only too well the feeling of sliding towards and through the championship trapdoor. Unfortunately for a handful of fellow weeds and they know who they are, some still seem to think that you're too big to go down. <doh>

    Results and league positions speak for themselves, nuff said.

    Morning all. I watched that shower of ****e with a Blackburn fan who said that his team was one of the worst he has seen in that shirt, and they destroyed us. Absoultely no positives to take from that at all.

    Chips, we are in for a dog fight alright and I dont see anyone with the balls to drag us out of it.

    I could go on and on and on and on and on about the match but I really dont have the heart anymore!
    Will just say that I have never felt so embarassed at such an inept, boring display of professional football!

    Twenty seconds into last night's game I accepted we are in a relegation fight and will probably go down. Awful feeling
