Whatever. I pity those of you who are venting your spleen on me to make yourselves feel better about the season going tits-up.

Well, #2 is clearly an attack on me, but nevertheless he makes a few valid points. Ex-pats rarely truly feel a sense of belonging to their new country, but have left the UK for geniune reasons and many cannot envisage returning.

Decided to wait a couple of hours to post following this one, just to see if it changed my demeanour..... Actually, although the number of games is ticking down, the fact that so many of our rivals for 6th lost means we are not much worse off than this morning. OK, thats the balanced part of me, here's for the normal part. F**king sh*t result from f**king **** performance. AP hasnt learned a damned thing about preparing for these banana skin games against lower teams. Blaming the ref simply wont cut it, we werent good enough to win. There were people on the match thread smugly declaring that they dont care if we go behind anymore, FFS !!! If we cannot go mid-winter into NorthernMonkeyLand and grind out results against the dregs of the division, we wont get promoted, this season or next, simple as that. I really fear for what NC is thinking now. Disposing of AP in the summer will be a big mistake, but AP needs to do some soul-searching about next season and how he will manage games against the likes of Tranmere, Brentford, Exeter and Wycombe....

Not allowed to say that on here. LOL at the BBC saying we are leading 2-1

I Lol'ed

Lallana cant hit a cows arse with a banjo. (it worked last game)

Put PAPA on, FFS.

I agree, but it has the feeling of a frustrating afternoon.

heheheh.

Also a chance we will lose.

Really in a little paddy today, arent we ?

What a chance we are blowing.

Oh, do grow up.

Aye, we really enter the mix with the scores the way they are. So frustrating - fifth from bottom team, having thumped two of the top six recently, and we cannot break them down.

Yes.

Dear oh dear. I think the message I got from reading this in the Echo was negative and unambitious. Others have seen the full interview and think otherwise. Fine, I can accept that. A pity the pathetic footstamping that goes on in this place nowadays if you dont predict crushing victories every time and question anything. Mods, do us all a favour and lock this thread.

Then dont bother.

This is clearly just a game for you. You know damned well what has happened today; we've scored 10 goals in 2 games, think we're the bees knees, and have started the game half-asleep thinking we only needed to turn up. I still think we will win, but QUALITY teams dont make schoolboy mistakes.

Therein lies SFCs problem. Succesful teams do eliminate or massive reduce the conceding of soft goals. Your expectations are at fault.

And today we conceded a soft goal in 4 mins, therefore we didnt respond to the last good win in the same manner. Your point is completely lost on me.

We should conceding soft goals period. You disagree ?

So, they've done their homework and have a game plan. We need to change things and break it down. Reckon Papa should come on,

What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ?

And you are self appointed stroppy Josef Goebbels wannabe.

Aye. Seems the players thought they only needed to turn up. Always said a team and management's quality is shown by how they respond to good victories as much as bad defeats. AP needs to be setting a few sights straight over HT.
