Excellent as ever. I am in great envy at your way with words . You are a true genius !! Are you sure that you are not related to Rallyboy??

Come on Mr ****e. I am a great fan of your works. The day after a match is not complete until I have read your musings. Why have I had to wait 48 hours after the Manu match for your opinions?Pull your finger out and give your adoring fans what they want that much earlier.

When you see the names of the people who have voted no , I am pleased that I have voted yes. I do not want to be associated with them!!

10,276 there tonight. What fantastic support!!

Who was saying that thisforum would start to see PR plants?

Brilliant! Coffee over keyboard time.

and the pies were good

Much is being made in the press of MP's inability to communicate with the players because he cannot speak English. But is this the case? Presumably he is taking lessons and whilst he may have difficulty in answering questions at a press conference, he could well know enough English to get his message across. There is a world of difference in being able to answer Adam Blackmore's questions coherently and in telling a player to get the ball into the box more often. Last night he seemed to be giving instructions to Ricky - proving if nothing else that he can talk Scouse. He was also getting on fine talking to Morgan - which is not surprising as he played in France for PSG. Ramirez and the Portuguese speakers will also have no problems in understanding him. A few years ago, Ranieri took over at Chelsea and was apparently reliant upon an interpreter who was present during every interview. After a few months in the job suddenly the interpreter disappeared and Ranieri was fluent in English. He had clearly known more than he was letting on. I wonder if the same could be true for MP?

Went to South Africa on holiday this summer and caught Terry Paine on telly as a fooyball pundit. Taking about England he referred to "the 2 ex Southampton players Walcott and Oxlade Chamberlain." Most pundits would have talked about the 2 Arsenal players - not the "2 ex Southampton players". Top bloke.

So what has happened since the end of Novemmber for you to have such a change of heart? Was it the 1-0 defaet at Liverpool?? Very unlikely as we were s h i t e that day. Was it our 1-0 victory v Reading. 2 scrappy teams played out a poor game then and it hardly seemed ike a manager saving performance that day.. Then of course we had that dreadful game v Sunderland where we would never have scored if the game had gone on until Christmas, Since then we have had steady progress but have hardly been tearing up trees. I fail to see how someone who turned so vehmently against Adkins aftre just 4 games coulg have been swayed so myuch by our perfrmances since the end of November. Now you start this attention seeking "lets lay into the Leibhers" thread. They have only invested £50 million plus in our club and saved us from liquidation but why should they be exempt from the DelDays mood swings?

No.

If Lowe was in charge we would probably be selling Luke in this transfer window.

I had this question texted to me by a WBA supporting friend of mine. His opinion of Lowe may have been coloured by my conversations with him in the past .... but it is difficult to give a good answer. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can answer him?

Shows how little I know!!

Disgraceful. I feel sick

Not on bbc yet. Only believe it when it is on the beeb.

I reckon the mum needs a medal. A 5 year old, 5 day old and CB Fry to contend with. i wonder who is the most attention seeking out of those 3 ??? :-) :-) Congrats by the way!!

The rolling hands were great. I went with a friend who supports Liverpool. They were not impressed by us that night.

Lets make it clear. Are you taking about Arsenal or Southampton tonight?

I am so pleased and proud that we stood by Nigel. Leaving the Hawthorns after our game there the general impression was that Nigel was going to be sacked in the morning. He had come over after the match to wave to us fans who were singing his name and the general feeling was that he was waving goodbye. I am now so pleased that Nigel was not sacked.

You have to remember that these are not very good journalists so they do not get paid very much.

Ha Ha Ha. Don't you just love it when the bed wetters ("3 points from the next 8 matches ") get it so wrong. I hope for Barry's sake that he doesn't bet on football matches!!

...and boy it does have some competition!! Bet 365 have West Ham at 22/1 to be relegated. For some unfathomable reason they do not have odds on Man U to be relegated.

I would love to know how Simon Gillett had done his internet research. I wonder if he is a fellow nutjob?

This guy is brilliant isnt he. You couldnt make him up!!
