hypochondriac

I disagree. Players get a lot of stick on here but outside of that, the vast majority of players get a lot of support. We have been brilliantly supportive of players this season IMO.

Odd that you think that way. That isn't how I remembered it at all. Of course with some I agree with you. Fuller and Crouch were certainly given too much stick.

That's why I have an N95 8GB and ipod touch. Fantastic

Ah yes, blame the fans because McGoldrick is not a very good footballer.

So I have heard...

That was me and it definitely happened.

Random info but my mother is doing a degree at winchester uni. Someone on her courses husband works at sms (bit sketchy on details) and said we would be going into admin soon. I'll try and find more details if I can

Sang liverpool songs at the pub in celebration. Serious confidence hit. That could finish them off IMO

More worryingly is the statement that we don't miss Jack Cork. THAT is deluded.

Sorry but I would argue it was a very very very small part. Having been to every home game this season I would say that the support under the circumstances are not to blame.

I called you an arrogant arsehole once but then apologised. I have no problem with you lot but think it would serve you well to listen to the views of your customers a bit more.

You idiot! Do you know anything about Wiltshire and Kadeem? They are WUMs!

Stu I think you could do with another thread mate. Ask mods to make it a sticky with the website address in the first post.

Has he told them the reasons behind his plans? I would be very interested in what he has to say because he has basically said nothing of substance since returning. Surely he is aware of the circumstances now?

If Lowe and Wilde refuse to sell to Crouch then what can he do?

Is it possible to name the player? Then it may make more sense.

If he had left things alone I feel we would be doing better now. I realise that that is an opinion but it's an opinion I imagine which is shared by the majority.

Ask him if he is aware of the planned boycotts and the march last week where well over 1000 attended. Ask him if he would have sacked Pearson with hindsight. Ask him if he is aware just how many fans want him out. Ask him if he appreciates the title "Quisling".

Know what you mean wedgie, little bit of snow and Britain goes to hell!

Dam! Bugger **** Balls. What a terrible weekend now

But I would argue that at present Crouch is a better alternative to Lowe. Once agan I freely admit that neither are great but for the reasons I have already outlined surely he is better than this hate figure who will never give any hope within the club.

Forgot to mention that he is rather light on policies also... As much as we say to concentrate solely on the policies, the personalities have always been important. At the end of the day if I see someone like Cameron and I don't trust him, then why should I trust that he would keep to his promises? (oh and btw neither Labour or the Tories when they were last in power kept a whole host of their promises, I specifically read their manifestos just out of curiosity and it's all a load of rubbish.)

Can you see Nick how Lowe's position has now become untenable? Even on the remote chance that we start to improve, we will not have enough to win promotion to the Prem for a good few years and fans are so irritated by Lowe that they will not allow him the time to get there (and quite right too IMO). Eventually Lowe will have to leave so then it becomes a question of where he is going to leave us when he finally goes. I can't imagine anyone saying that he will leave us in a better position than when he came back in the summer, both in terms of league position and the feel good factor and optimism for the future. With Pearson Lowe had a win win situation if he was kept on. If we were doing better he would be praised for sticking with a manager and learning from his past mistakes. Do badly and he had the perfect excue to bring in the Dutch duo and could hide behind the fact that it was not his appointment. He chose not to do that and it was very foolish because it meant that he had to take all the blame if it went wrong (which it clearly has.)

It's a fair comment Frank. I am fully aware that either side would not be ideal. The problem we have is that there is no alternative so we must then choose which option is the least objectionable. With Lowe at the moment we have the protest marches, talk of boycotts and pitch invasions, the continuation of this Dutch and youth policy which is clearly not working and continuing disunity within the club. With Crouch we have the obvious sniping from the sidelines of the shunned party and a small group of disgruntled Lowe supporters. There have been rumours of poor financial management by Crouch but there have also been counter rumours that the bank were happy with Crouch as chairman.With Lowe we have a proven failure on more than on occasion but with Crouch there is no proof that he would fail if he was given another shot. In my opinion his big mistake was Dodd and Gorman but unlike Lowe he recognised his mistake and changed things before it was too late. I think this season has hurt more because it certainly seemed to me like we were beginning to turn the corner. I defy anyone on the pitch after the Sheffield United game to tell me that from that moment they were not feeling more positive about the future. There was a clear unity displayed and with Lowe coming back and acting in the way he has done has made things a lot lot worse than they would be. Regardless of who is right or wrong, the fan base and the club will be a lot more divided with Lowe in charge and that is the key issue for me.

That was an amusing analogy!
