quietly hoping

I put a thread up about hiom some months ago , he is superb. When it was announced i thought 'that was mad' butr he has showed real style and class

Yep, he might show our centre halfs how to scare the forwards. Im sick of seeing our defence bullioed and find watching Clyne and Shaw bullying the attackers a nice change

Much has been made of MP and his inability to speak English. Watching him being interviewed you could see he understood most what had been asked. It was amusing as he went on long answers and left the interpreter scribbling away. he is not a man of few words lol

but i dont know if MLT would be able not to air his grievances at a later date if he got upset again. he is always running to the media when a bit of diplomacy should be called for.

Lots of empty seats last night. £40 to watch a game that is on sky is not good. Its a shame they didn't do a Laterooms.com for tickets, that would fill some seats. if for example you couldnt choose where you sit (obviously if you want 2 they could be together)but could get a ticket for half price it might help fill the stadium in such matches. By not being able to choose would mean that fans who wish to sit right by their mates etc would still pay the normal price.

Sadly because he is in the forefront of the media he should perhaps be a little more shrewd in what he says. he is always picking at the scab and perhaps his position at Sky they encourage him to do so. much like Talksport how they want to be controversial just to get people to phone in. If I wanted a business partner and it was a choice between MLT and Nc, it would not take a heartbeat to choose NC. For social then MLT again like a shot.

the difference is that Im correct Patrick

Well i dont thin it is correct that Moyes was overlooked for Gray. i was under the impression that Moyes wouldnt take the job as he wanted his own backroom staff without Gray. The atmosphere did seem flat, but i think most fans understood that it would play into Evertons hands if if became restless. NA and football fans in general know the fans adored him, and im sure that is some comfort

I have felt that KD has been a good keeper for us, last night i believe that Boruc showed we now have somebody who can now go on and cement his place in our hearts and team. KD is now to my mind our No.2 keeper. Well done Boruc

I thought he was MotM, he quietly gets on with his job, never dives in. Very much in the Bobby Moore style of defending, calm and calculating. A superb long term buy IMO

I doubt we will sell our captain

wasn't there a follow on to this where he met NC and now JP actually praised him? Forget not it was NA's 2 who fell out with him, not NC

Great ot have you back in the real world Huffton

GS you are being a td unfair. The players no doubt were confused and surprised, but like us they have had time to think about it, some have apparently been spoken to by NC. They also have met the new manager and perhaps realise the ambition of the club is higher than NA could bring. As a NA fan who obviously saw no fault in NA's decisions then you are happy to die on the c4ross for him. I see it as a progression (although the timing is dd)

I wonder how you can make such statements as the club is so secretive now. I'd out you can be 100pc sure

I don't feel disrespected at all, I'm happy he has gone as I felt he was not up to it. It is not me being all precious about the manager being removed because he was not seen to be good enough

As a respect to the fans it would be nice to hear from him.

I assume they feel so strong about it they take a payoff not to lol

Why does NA not come out and make a statement? I'm. Not sure a man who believes in mental strength would be happy that he left the club in tears.

Gordon Strachan did the same, e fans still love him

Charlie, I am right behind NC decision. I dearly hope he is proved correct, but if not all the hankie wavers will be able to say 'I told you so' Yet again we may spiral back to those terrible days of 'stand up if you want Lowe out'. And how it was so depressing going to games. NC like him or not helped keep our club alive and I dread the thought of him walking away and selling to Venkys or similar

thanks for that I didn't realise. So many people should be honoured but how can I argue with the ML suite

without a doubt if we get relegated NC is wrong

Seriously? I didn't know that had been taken away
