Whitey Grandad

Banning him from St Mary's on matchdays is pathetic. It also deprives the club of much-needed income. He'll be just one more number added to the thousands who stay away because of the grotesque mis-management of our great football club.

Maybe booing McGoldrick will be the kick up the backside that he needs. What do you expect? A polite 'well done old chap'?

It was blindingly obvious on Saturday, especially below me in the second half. There were wide open prairies where you could have grazed a herd of buffalo. Perhaps Jan should sit in the stands to see it. He's not doing much good on the touchline.

If it's sold-out then we obviously set the prices too low....

And another thing... Why on earth choose Davis as captain? How can he possibly influence anything when he's standing in goal concentrating on keeping out shots that are coming at him from 35 yards?

... and I thought that they were coming to see Man U...

Surely the same must apply to all the other teams that we have played. I can't remember seeing any of those look 'tired'. They look completely lost to me, not tired.

It was Surman, I watched it this morning - don't ask why

Interesting. 9 of those clubs have lower gates than us and yet are above us in the table...

I clapped too, but I only wish that one of our lot could have done the same. I remember the Kop applauding St Matt when he turned the defence inside out and scored in front of them. Oh happy days...

Quite right!. Wait 'til next season!

That's the first time I've smiled so far this weekend...

Doesn't that include all the Season Tickets even if they can't make it?

Mine work out more like £18 a game?

And there we have the core of the problem. Any manager willing to work under Lowe's interference will almost certainly not be good enough to get the turn-around that we need.

Now we're clutching at draws!

I was united when he wasn't here

Boothroyd! There's another name to add to the list...

To be honest I thought that Forest taught us how to play with what looked to me like a team full of enthusiastic youngsters. At the very least, they all seemed to know what their gameplan was and what each of their roles was.

I hope so, although after a few seasons in the next divisions down I might think differently...

'forcefully convincing'

I used the word 'embarassed' this afternoon. They were both depressingly poor performances, though to be fair Bristol Rovers turned over a couple of other good teams last year apart from us.

I'm not too sure about Venables. What's George Graham doing these days?

It's difficult to compare them because of the different circumstances and conditions, particularly the dreadful playing surface at Bristol, but I think today was worse because we were at home and so many extra possible regular supporters were there, desperate to be impressed, and they completely blew it.

I noticed that too ...
