It's wrong for fans to abuse their own players, of course it is, it's retarded. But if you are a professional footballer it is part of the game, you don't achieve anything with incidents like this. Anyone with half a brain can see how futile it is.

Yeah, because reacting like that is really going to get the fans on his side. You dumb f*ck.

This will be tougher than the Spurs game IMO.

It's clear what happened. Some nobheads had a pop and he reacted. The clever thing to do would be ignore them and concentrate on keeping goal. Especially considering his comical display at West Ham.

If you think a keeper reacting like this is clever then you are dumber than I thought you were, and that is saying something.

It obviously wound up some of our fans though which isn't the cleverest thing to do. Would hardly expect a f*ckwit like you to understand though.

Yeah, because chucking a bottle at your own fans is really going to help. F*cking ***t IMO. Maybe he should wait until he's had at least one good game before he starts giving a bit back.

Better second half but couldn't get much worse, we were awful. Championship here we come.

He was probably trying to throw the bottle back into the net and missed.

Too many idiots on here. Anyone with a slightly differing opinion gets jumped on and abused by the usual gang of playground nob-heads. Internet forums by their nature attract a high percentage of weirdos.

His first season in the top flight when then finished 11th. Adkins has had 8 games, half of them very hard fixtures.

"With roaming sellers also out and about, you’ll never miss a chance to pick up your copy of the programme." - what 12 year-old writes this b@ll@x? How exactly would you miss the original programme sellers who were conveniently stood in the same place each game?

I didn't say he was Pep frigging Guardiola, just responding to Delldays saying he was not GUARENTEED to become a good Prem manager. How can he, no-one can be. Even some good foreign managers fail in the Prem, Guardiola might be sh!t. That's my point, unless he is given the chance we wont find out if he's the next Sir Alex (who also had a poor start in the prem).

Same could be said of Pep Guardiola. Adkins is on a learning curve, he needs to be given a chance. If he's sacked you could see him going somewhere like Ipswich, get them promoted and go on to be a great Prem manager.

This is almost as funny as the Redknapp one. Di Canio, seriously?

It's a shame the club can't get this right. Even though we are getting tonked off the field there should still be more of a feel good factor around the place. Doing things like having rows with the local paper, spats with club legends and bad customer service is bound to have a negative effect. Sacking longstanding programme sellers in the name of saving a few pennies, then straight away forking out for a private loo so he can curl one out in peace and quiet shows exactly where the chairman's priorities lie.

To be fair Spurs managers have always spent sh!t loads (how much did Hoddle pay for Richards?) but only Redknapp got them into the Champions League. They would have qualified last year as well if Chelsea hadn't have fluked the thing.

Now that would be cool.

What's the spoon and bog roll story?

To be honest I wouldn't be that bothered about going down. I was on holiday for the Villa game, it's coming up to bonfire night and I have yet to see a win. Plus there are few Sat 3pms, and too many tosser fans and players in the Prem.

Can't see it happening unless he has final say on transfers - which seems unlikely given the way things seem to be at the moment. The fans would soon come round. If the team is winning no one cares about anything else.

It would be great if it was Redknapp, just for comedy value. There would be a massive uproar, booing, boycotts etc. Then after a few wins playing his brand of free-flowing footie everyone would be singing his name, again.

You've never ever been able to trust journos, there is nothing new about that. Having a row with the press is pointless, particularly when it's the local paper. For many fans it is the only way they get news on the club, instead of free advertising all the club are getting is completely pointless negative PR.
