    So poor going forward in that second half. Never mind, a bit of a rest before the next one now.

    Today was an absolute gutter. First time I've been down all season even knowing we'd be relegated

    It's been the case in a lot of games this season, it's what has me thinking we won't go down, but we need to score some fucking goals.

    From a Brighton fan site:
    Tony Bloom needs to chuck money at a striker in January
    We have Zamora, a loan from Man Utd, an Israeli international and Baldock (currently injured but first eleven when we weren't having problems scoring). It's not going to get much better than that in the Championship.

    Silly how quickly fans jump to "We need a striker!" when things aren't going right. As if there can never be other factors.

    Another way of looking at that is that you have a bloke in his seventies, a kid with no experience and questionable professionalism, Israeli international Tomer Hemed, and a crocked div with five goals in eighteen months.

    Well that's a silly way of phrasing things (and where did the questionable professionalism come from? His lack of experience hasn't mattered - he's played well and already scored a couple).

    They were good enough for us when we were top of the table.

    He did throw up on the pitch. Still played well, was probably one of the better players.

    No sillier than citing a nameless Israeli international when bumming up the quality of the frontline. Tal Ben-Haim is an Israeli international and he's shite.

    Zamora is aging and, that bonkers chip last year aside, hasn't been much good for a few years anyway. I thought the same as Kiko about Wilson, but even still you can't really pin everything on a kid, which you are doing if his understudies are Tomer Hemed, who has looked as uncoordinated as a first round Dancing on Ice exit when I've seen him, and the aforementioned crock with four goals in eighteen months.

    They're all good enough for an upper Championship side, and none of our fans were complaining about them when we were top. How many times have you seen Hemed? Wilson should be playing fairly regularly for United.

    I thought your attack was rather limp if anything, I mean our anti-football tactics don't help but I couldn't see you scoring for a month of sundays.

    Loads. Rangers were linked with him years ago and I saw him plenty at Mallorca.

    'They weren't moaning when we were top' is a bit of a daft rebuttal. Of course they weren't moaning when you were top and scoring goals. Now you're eight points off it and without a goal in three games, so people are moaning.

    The bigger issue is that both of our first choice wingers are out, as well as our first and second choice left backs, meaning that we have much less input from the flanks than we would usually. Bruno was the only one creating things from out wide.

    We're also giving away early goals, making it hard for ourselves and meaning that we're having to play so much of the game a goal down, so teams can sit back too much.

    The quality of our strikers isn't a problem.

    Don't think we're gonna win the league anymore. Mahrez was dogshit.

    40 points though. Should be safe. Claudio

    Good performance today from us, its a joy to go over and watch the hammers now, unlike last season. Also I watched Klopp in the dugout, he's a character, he'll get Liverpool sorted if given time.

    What a bizarre interview.

    Why is he being so cagey?
    Why won't he say what his goal is?
    If his future's not in management, what the fuck is he doing at Valencia?

    Very little of that stacks up. Valencia fans must be ecstatic to have him.

    Took it as a one off challenge / doing a favour for his mate, maybe. I don't know, it is a bit weird.

    He's gone down well with the fans so far apparently. Or did when he brought out some oranges...

    I really quite dislike him (in case that wasn't clear). 650 odd games for a club that 'don't do things like that' and a few years phoning it in on Sky's sofa (where he was admittedly quite good) and he's coming across as if he thinks he's the Godfather of English football.

    I'm not sure if you're all being sarcastic or not. Has he done well or flopped? I haven't heard a thing since they did shit in his first Champions League game.

    We really need Sanchez back as Ox has once again been piss poor.

    Been saying it for a while, he won't make it at the Arsenal. Needs to leave.

    He's spent more time on Sky since he left than when he was the main man there.

    Neville, not Ox.

    He won a cup second leg game against a lower league side, but yet to win in the league.

    Surely no-one, let alone a proper football man like Gary Neville would take a job for either of those reasons. A bit weird (coupled with that interview) is an understatement. The whole thing stinks.

    - High profile pundit / newspaper columnist
    - England assistant coach
    - Buys non league club, changes its colours and professes to want to take it to the professional ranks
    - Takes Valencia manager's job

    I reckon his endgame is world domination, or perhaps simply to win the football.

    Were I a Valencia fan I'd be more concerned (at this stage) with his efforts to date to learn the language.

    Well, at least until I saw that interview, at which point I'd want him out immediately.
