Well, in fairness I did point out that his question was stupid. Not surprised by the reaction. But then, NickG does seem to be one of that ever-diminishing group of fans who think somehow the CCC League Table is lying about the state of SFC...

Steve, why are you bothering ? Lowe has never done anything wrong in Franky-World, didnt you know ???

In my opinion our fate will be settled, one way or the other, tomorrow afternoon. An AWAY match....

Not because the question is about football. Because the answer to the question is obvious.

Skiing is f**king dangerous. I am facing shoulder surgery next month due a fall I had between Xmas and new year.

What a daft question.

What complete ******. We will stay up or go down on the basis of what one manager does with 11 players on a field in the last 8 games. Period. It has absolutely f**k all to do with the fans now. You are completely deluding yourself. No wonder you spout shiite about what fan is entitled to comment on what aspect of the club with cookoo notions like that floating round in your head.

Whatever. You bore me shiitless with your tedious wearing down of anyone who dares criticise your precious regime with calls for "balance" when you are one of the most self-opinionated people on this site. Espeically as what you write is nowhere near the balanced moral high-ground you keep claiming for yourself. I cant be bothered to read your tripe any more..

Cheerio then. You dont bring anything to this site apart from whinging about me anyway.

YES. Can you see them having been so lenient with us ? My arse. It was Brums fault for leaving it to the last minute to sign him.

We were sliding out of the PL before that defeat. I just cannot decide if it dawned on me that afternoon we werent going to survive, or the Boro or Villa matches at home...

Thanks for proving my point succinctly..

This post just about sums you up. Giving Lowe the benefit of the doubt for absolutely everything, excusing his arrogance and incomptence, blaming our downfall on everyone else and bad luck, and taking a wholly unrealistic perspective on this season where apparently Lowe could perform his radical cost-saving on the team yet the loss of performance, poor results and susbsequent drop in attendance was unforeseeable.

I understand what you mean, but £30m + is still a helluva fine. They could have gone down since by other means, remember. Last year they earned their place in the PL again.

Its cost West Ham £25m to Sheff Utd and a £5m fine to the PL. And there is still the private action of Warnock and the Sheff Utd players to come. Personally, much as the cheating sticks in my craw, its sufficient punishment. A whopping financial penalty, amplified in these times of financial crisis, which means you can be sure West Ham dont think they have got away with murder. Personally, I hope the biggest aftermath of this odious event is yet to come. I am hoping that that slimy bastard Scudamore, who basically decided that West Ham's face fitted in the Premiership better than Sheff Utd's, has made plenty of enemies in the game (along with his 39th game abroad idea), and will eventually lose his job. That bloke has done as much to wreck the game below PL level as the likes of Roman Abramovich.

The surely it would have been a "blip" for Crouch too, ergo, any money that has been saved (and I suspect it is not as much as saintwarwick would have us believe ) has absolutely f**k-all to do with Lowe. Crouch sent Rasiak and Skacel out on loan long before Lowe did...

And its a good answer. But when the football is so piiss-poor, and the future of the club is so in the balance, it is hardly surprising that so much time is spent discussing non-football issues.

Its neither. Its reality. The Premiership Grim Reaper pounced on piiss-poor management decisions eventually, and the CCC Grim Reaper is going to do exactly the same.

Spot on.

So, according to FC, we should all pounce on the bones that Lowe and Wilde throw us, be mighty damned grateful and all rally behind the flag. Superb... Are you related to Neville Chamberlain ?

And Lowe has done such a great job of reducing it, hasnt he ? Or do the management of a football club not get paid ?

Complete bullshiiit without a shred of evidence to support it.

Wow, SOGGY lecturing about the same old stuff from the same old people. How ironic... No comment about the negativity from the club wearing the fans down, I take it ???
