Oh **** !

Hope we keep a clean sheet. This will be good for morale

fair enough, hope he does well until his contract runs out, as this will benefit us.

Hard game, I would be happy with 0-0

Cue Alpine

I know exactly what you mean. taken a step further, I am never relaxed until we are past the 40 point mark or mathematically safe from relegation. Mind you, I could get an infraction for having such thoughts in the 21st century ! Double plus good !!!

Well, if we are comfortable with 20 minutes to go, I would give him a go.

Yes, I think one of Hoddle's more embarasing moments.

Yes, but we are playing MK Dons and we really should be able to deal with them. If we don't does it really matter ?

Now you have opened a can of worms. Could be some truth in what you are saying.

How was the comment trolling for goodness sake !

I am sure that Koeman is not aiming for 17th.

Koeman is a 'safety first' manager. This is understandable when his quad has been weakened over he summer. I am sure the aim this year is to try and sit in the middle of the table and stay out of trouble. The trouble is that the players can quickly lose confidence in their ability to win if they are just concentrating on not losing.

In a way, losing against the likes of Utd, Chelski, Arsenal, Everton, Swansea and Whum, wil not define our season. What really matters will be beating our nearest rivals like Bournemouth, Sunderland, Watford, Stoke etc.

Obviously, oh wise one.

Just like you genuinely think you are clever.

It's too early in the season to say we are in a relegation battle, but we are 16th.

It is inevitable that we will lose some of our top players, but what I find frustrating is that we don't seem to replace them with anywhere near the same quality.

I hope not, as this is what led us to relegation last time. The only difference this time is that we have a manager that should see us clear of relegation. The season is so far going as I predicted, a fight to stay up.

We need to concenentrate on securing our place in the Premier League this season...(said with a touch of irony)

One place above 17th at the moment. Anyone close to this prediction ?

**** or bust time !

Wheels coming off.

Need to get in at half time without conceeding and go at them. Utd are beatable.

Hmmm. His language is a bit dramatic, but essentially he is correct.
