And with f**k all to sing about for nearly 6 years now, who can blame them?

Blaming fans for performances though is a total cop out, if a team plays well in all areas of the pitch the fans will get behind them, if they do not the fans will get edgy. Doesn't matter which club it is, that is how it works. Expecting unconditional support is unrealistic and nieve, particularly in an entertainment industry like football, where entertainment is the key word!

Havn't heard that part, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Correct me if i'm wrong, and in no way would I wish to incite such things, but don't clubs get fined for pitch invasions? That would really hurt Rupert.

As I understand it Keith indulged with a little online flirting with a 'younger' girl. It became public knowledge and the rest is history.

Lowe's biggest mistake - Being involved in the first place.

Some perhaps, but at least they are trying to better themselves if they are, and Chav or not they have my respect for it.

Love the fish and chip flavour. They get my vote.

It's something Rupert Lowe would never agree to. The stadium may be a large debt currently, but long term it is also a prized asset and part of the club's core valuation. He doesn't care about the football, its just a means to boost the profits and the idea of selling a core asset to aid it will not be something he will comply with.

Simple. Bloody awful first team man management coupled with a need to shed high earners. How is a kid with an ego the size of a small continent going to respect the puppet manager of a man with a recent track record of failure like Lowe?

How the f**k is he meant to gain any credibility when he spouts sh*t like that. The best teams win games, particularly at home. What an idiot.

That will be a prototype mock up, not the actual thing.

There are rumours that Avram will be invited back to Stamford Bridge, so the Skates may miss out on their number one target.

Quite! Shame really, but hey, this thread isn't about us.

I may be married by then. So i'll have more important things to worry about.

Doesn't matter who takes charge, no-one of any quality will go there, and the only manager who did it for them was Bagpuss. They are back in the championship. It's fated.

Wishfull thinking surely. After that spirited display v Liverpool he'll have time, well, time to turn back to drink anyway.

Been snowing again in Coventry for the last hour or so, it is now 2 inches thick on the floor.

I've been given an iPhone 3g by my employer. Seems fancy enough but rather inneffective for e-mails and business etc.

Perhaps on paper, but its a friendly and they have everything to prove. Under Capello we have been hungry and effective. I can't wait to see what they can do.

Even though he took back the controversial aspects of his statement, I do utterly respect Clarkson for him sticking by his initial statement that Gordon Brown is an idiot. If only more people around would have more conviction in their words, MR WILDE!!!!

We just barely have the squad to survive. But we don't have the right manager, right board and and as a result right mentality in the fanbase to make it happen.

In other words, you would like us to pay our money, sit down, shut up and regardless of how the money we have spent for our tickets is missused accept it. No. I will express how I feel at a football match. If I get frustrated due to another missplaced pass or bottled/mistimed challenge I will shout, and on the other hand if the team is playing cohessively, showing commitment, skill and quality I will cheer encouragement. I would need a lobotomy to behave as you expect other fans to. The matches I have been to this season have shown the fans i've seen to be frustrated beyond belief. Not nasty, not aggresive (but yes, you do get idiots, sadly 0.05% is still quite a few when you take into account several thousand.) but genuinely willing the team to win, but when it has become clear this hope is futile, say, if you are 2-0 down at home to Doncaster or 3-0 down to a frankly dreadful Watford side, then yes... attitudes will change, you would need to be non-human as a fan to not feel otherwise.

No denying his academic credentials but his answer to the countries debt and recession is to amass more debt ensuring that the nation will be basically paying itself off for generations to come. Bravo.
