The Kraken

You complain about the "vocal minority". Right or wrong in your eyes, they had the courage of their convictions to do something about it, and they protested against Hoddle. You (apparently) felt the other way, yet were too scared to stick your head above the parapet and make your feelings known. You shrank. You did nothing. Nothing at all. And yet you have your hilarious and relentless campaign to do something about an issue you did nothing at all to contribute to when it really mattered. You bottled it mate, you did nothing at all when it really mattered.

Well being as I was living abroad the time I'd have done well to get my point across all too well. Still, another thing you've got hopelessly wrong. Well done you. Coward.

Really? tell us what you did to combat the anti-Hoddle brigade that you prat on about so much. At the time, what did you do? Other than cry into your pillow.

Unsurprising. He's the worst of cowards who doesn't back up his "hilarious" repetitive spoutings. That's why he's so repetitive with the Hoddle stuff, he completely bottled it and did nothing at the time. Nothing at all. He was worse than the "vocal minority" who he constantly refers to; at least they actually gave an opinion; this poor excuse just shrunk and said nothing. Timid little coward.

Liar. You said 43 points. Then 41 points. Keep trying hard though.

I bet you we wouldn't. Would you like to put your money where your repetitive mouth is?

I was the other side of it at the ground and didn't see the extent of it at the time. Utterly ludicrous challenge, no excuse whatsoever. Summed up an abysmal day for Fox, the useless pr*ck. Not to mention getting undone for Lukaku's misses in the first half. Anyone who suggests Hooiveld is anywhere near Premier League material needs their head seeing to; he's a very poor defender at this level. That was like watching our eaarly season games. Yoshida also looked a pale imitation of a footballer, to be fair.

Ever looked in the mirror? You try very hard though, so well done for that.

Oh f*ck here we go, we're on MOTD.

Crikey; did you count them all?

Only around £80K a week, so not too much.

Just watching MOTD, and noticed Coutinho. 20 years old. Just arrived from Italy after moving there from South America. £10M plus price tag. He looks superb. Absolutely superb. No "well, he might come good next season" from Liverpool fans. This lad is younger and cheaper than Ramirez, and he only arrived here in January. That's the impact a young, talented skillful player should have in this league.

Indeed. I bet the Newcastle mongboards are a picture of calm this evening.

No; I hope next season never comes. Ever.

This seems to be a consistent hope for a few of our players.

So sadly true. As impressed as I've been with JRod of late, today he was back to his start of season worst, a bit of a headless chicken. Lambert may be slow but he has ultimate composure; JRod often looks at times as if he can't take a shot without completely panicking and snatching at it.

Its a bit more proof that we're better than relegation fodder, but not yet anywhere near the level requried to get near the European places. 10th - 17th in Premier League is extremely close, usually is. Staying up will be a very good accomplishment; progressing onwards significantly from that will be another step altogether.

Thought much the same. Flat track bully, perhaps?

For Uruguay in the Olympics.

Perhaps wouldn't disagree with that actually, Rog. Lallana has been dreadful lately. If anything today I thought that all he did was negate Clyne being able to get forward so well. Lallana really had a poor game today. Thought your boy Lambo had a bad game today too, Rog. Not that we've got much choice; JRod was marginally worse.

No. He has been poor of late; in fact for most of the season. Very disappointing. How he is the skipper is beyond me.

I wish I had an RM-821_eu_euro1_276. And don't get me started about how good Board Express is.

Thing is, there's not much you would have changed about that side. Fox had to play as shaw is injured; I'd have had Fonte instead of Hooiveld; but aside from that, it was a full strength first team. But you're correct in that clarke got his tactics spot on and knew just how to combat us. They outworked and outfought us in midfield, targetted Fox as the weak link, and broke fantastically quickly. I was quite impressed with WBA today.

So its not a realistic target after all, then? If you don't think we'll get anything from Sunderland and Spurs?
