We think we have problems? I am glad I am not a Chelsea supporter.

No but a perfect replacement for Cork.

I really think you are being very harsh. Liverpool's finishing the other night was top quality. I really don't think you can blame him for any of those goals.

We have had the same arguments going back decades though, spend more on players and more on players wages. Is there one player who has left in the last two seasons who we could possibly match their new pay packet or CL aspirations? How many players who we have been after have chosen Palace, Newcastle or Stoke over us?

Well if it is that obvious why say anything? Seriously though, why is it obvious that things are not right behind the scenes? Is it because they haven't said anything for a while - in which case it could be that everything is fine and there is nothing to say. I thought that the old adage was No News Is Good News, not No News Means There Is a Meltdown.

Even I don't want to see my old holiday snaps so I certainly would inflict them on others!

Is it not possible to run the club on a proper business model and still have ambition??

I hope so!!

We weren't crap in the second half against City. And lets forget Chelsea shall we or the decent run we had earlier.

True, "Wreck It Ralph" always comes in for stick when has says anything!

Ah, good to see that you are still trying to get your dig in despite being taken down!

Exactly. If Fonte isn't fit I might start with Yoshida instead of Caulker but would tell them to go out and show what they are worth.

To be fair to Yoshida he gets slated because he makes poor mistakes that lead to goals.

Apologies if this has been said already, but the Echo are saying that Ron is thinking of playing it safe and playing a defensive game. At home. To Villa? I bloody well hope not. Now is not the time to bottle it. We should win this at a canter. Will be very disappointed if he doesn't go for it.

That was my thinking too. For a senior judge she made a very large error in her handling of the case and if I was running their judicial system I wouldn't have a great deal of confidence in her sentencing. Still, the main thing is that the right verdict has finally been reached and he as got no get outs now. He is a convicted murderer.

I cant think of many goals that he has had much of a chance with to be fair.

Oh and 'another crap performance.' How many times have we been beaten like that this season? In fact we have just had a really good run of results, but one terrible result and all of a sudden Alpine's doom and gloom is acceptable?

I don't think that you will find many people apologising for that performance will you? I just wonder how much worse it could have been if Ramirez had played? Alpine used the defeat to have another pop at one of his favourite targets and the bloke was no where near the pitch!!

I wonder what his Dad would have made of his speech?

"By the way Charles, did they ever find all the bits of your Great Uncle"?

So you chose not to show the picture of the Queen shaking the hand of Martin McGuiness at Windsor Castle just two hours before the Republican dissident is charged with 29 counts of murder over the Omagh Atrocity then? http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/6/28/1340905896075/Martin-McGuinness-and-the-008.jpg

There are plenty of interviews with the man that matters, the manager. Not sure what they can tell us other than what type of biscuits they have at their board meetings. I'd much rather they left it until they had something to say.

How do you work that out? A lot of shots are much closer to the keeper and easier to save. I doubt if any other keeper would have done much better with what he had to deal with last night. There wasn't one soft goal amongst them in terms of something which he really should have stopped.
