Can someone do the maths... Since this thread began, have they spent longer in admin or out of it?

If it gets to 4 then we have to throw a party.

Am I the only one still bricking it that we might capitulate, lose our last 5 games and end up relegated by a last minute Stoke winner? All these fawning articles I keep seeing presume it's a done deal that we'll stay up. To be fair it probably is, but even while the smallest doubt remains I can't quite bring myself to relax!

I look forward to reading a thread like this on every member of the squad. It's important we point out to them all their mistakes in excruciating detail otherwise they'll never know how bad they are.

aap3 deal runs till 2014. This is only second season of the deal.

I think they are hoping for more pledges now that the bid has no more hurdles. Not quite convinced by that logic...

We were "allowed" to go to the wall. We were purchased by a private buyer. What's your point?

Season SIX!? When they're bumbling around mid-table of league two with half of next season gone reality will soon set in...

Teams that dropped points against us from winning positions that i can remember ... Villa home (i.e. at SMS); Wigan away; Fulham twice; and of course Chelsea away

And labour immediately abolished them all in 1997, yes? So what... despite that she somehow won 3 elections... So did Labour. As for "Institutional shareholders" ... guess what, they're mostly pension funds! Did she introduce it personally out of spite or something? That happened in 1992. What does that even mean? How is that measured?

Apart from that Lallana was picked in a squad already this season?

12-18 months down the line the fans will be moaning about "lack of investment". The merest hint of someone with money coming along and they'll sell out.

Be interesting to see how his table looked after 15 or 20 games, before united's unassailable lead opened up...

Not much crossing practice going on in our academy by the looks of it...

Depending what happens next week...

Agree entirely. There is much more fluidity about where our forward players are playing than simply saying "on the wing" or "up front". Steven Davis's role is also interesting, particularly when we don't have possession... snapping at the centre backs while lambert and jayrod take up deeper and wider positions. Great to have players that are comfortable playing more dynamically.

Stadium of Light? That is a shock!

Bet Adkins wishes he'd waited a week

Quite the handicap, playing every match with 10 men...

Because his right to work trumps his contract. You can't sack someone but then keep them on the payroll indefinitely and stop them working elsewhere.

Prutton? Matt Oakley is the benchmark surely?

Yawn. Nobody is hiding anything. I doubt many of this vocal minority will have changed their mind. Hoddle has not exactly gone on to set the premier league on fire with any other club. So I for one am glad Hoddle was not allowed back. The fact that Lowe then subsequently made appalling decisions on who he did actually appoint does not diminish this view.

Giggs is Welsh! He's one of their most famous sportsmen! Pay attention!

No MLT and yet Ronaldo is apparently a midfielder...
