An average team doesn't become a great one overnight. MPs honeymoon period deceived a lot of people into thinking that we were a force to be reckoned with. The reality is we are where we belong to be. There were lots of brash claims a few weeks back that we were all set for a top half finish. Hopefully these last few weeks have been a wake up call to some that this team and squad is still 4-5 players away from being anywhere near as good as some think it is.

Arrogance has seen us in this situation. An arrogance which has spread throughout the club and fans. We won't go down but all the talk is about the next level, top half finishes and next season when we were far from safe this season.

Thank f*ck for that!

Why are we relying on other teams faliures to save us? A few weeks ago people were adamant we were going to finish top half and all the team below us winning doesn't matter. That arrogance is looking very misplaced now.

Ah right so when you started arguing about it the other day you actually agreed with me and now admit i was right. Well done Mr Wrong.

This can't be true. MLG said the other day we play with as much pace and width as Spurs do.

Interesting to see the mood of the forum has changed from it being brilliant that the teams below us were winning as it meant the teams above us were catchable to it now being vital that the teams below us lose as we could still go down. There was me thinking we were on an unstoppable charge to a top half finish.

It shows how sh*te football has become when people would take finishing 17th in the league over winning a trophy.

Would you rather have your nose cut off and win the FA cup or have your ears cut off and lose in the Europa cup final?

Clueless Nixon said during the week on twitter we will make a decision on him in the summer.

They wouldn't be the first club to release a teenager and then resign him for multi millions later in his career. Kevin Phillips anyone....

Today is evidence if any where needed as to why we should never take any cup competion lightly.

Kone.

Dreadful wasn't it. So much better when its the crowd singing it.

There was a story we failed with a late and very large deal for a centre back right at the end of the window, who it was no one knows. Presumably the player wasn't available in January either. Also heard we bid for Martin Olsen as well.

Correct. The FA were sucking up to FIFA at the time to get the 2006 World Cup. United were on holiday out there, remember lots of pics in the papers of their players shopping and sunbathing.

Javier Hernandez might be on his way out of Man United in the summer. Fits our profile

No need to apologies, most people would agree.

You recall wrongly. People slammed nixon on here as clueless asking how he would know what we were up to, when he'd got most of our business correct. I used it as evidence that a week before the window shut it was a shambles that we didn't know which centre back we wanted, not that we didn't want one. Didnt Adkins say we wouldnt be signing Yoshida when asked only for him to sign a few days later? seems like it was a shambles and not everyone in the committee knew what was going on. Nice try though.

Do you mean the guy that was dubbed clueless on here when he said a week before the transfer window shut said we could t decide what centre half we want? What would he know about how much we have to spend Krackers? His track record with us is awful as the centre half statement showed.

Banning Nick Illingworth for his perfectly valid article on his website criticising the club for removing the installment plan was utterly ridiculous and a disgrace.

So the players can keep a copy of their FM stats to hand as a reminder to the level they should play at.

The whole away end singing 'make a sub' and doing the hand signal for a substitute was funny.

I see they've gone with Cisco, good win for them, not the cheapest but arguably the best available at the moment. Will be a very good reference site for them. You say SMS needs it and I don't disagree, but this won't be cheap, as well as the wireless APs and controllers they'll also need to upgrade their wired network and backplane to cope with the hugely increased demand, will cost a lot of money.

Didn't we try and sign Tripper at the same time as we got Danny Fox??
