I think you will find we are 3 points above relegation, with three very loseable matches to come. However, I still think we will be safe at the end. WBA, Stoke and Portsmouth are going down.

No. I would explain why but Arnold has put it very well so I'll just leave it at that. Elmander has had a fair crack of the whip, time Smolarek and Riga were given more of a chance.

If it is so ridiculous to compare them why did we pay roughly the same amount for them?

Hang on. If this criticism is affecting the players how come we've won the last two games? Maybe it's having a positve effect. Perhaps we should up the ante. I suggest for the rest of the season we gradually erect a scaffold and by the time we lynch him in May we should be in the Champions League! Just a thought.

Jussi may not have said that he wants to leave but he has been stalling over his contract for 18 months now, which is a pretty clear indication.

How about Aidy Boothroyd? Phil Brown? Steve Coppell? Tony Mowbray? Martin Jol? Oh. and I think Sven may be available soon!

I can definitely seethem beating Pompey on the last day of the season. Portsmouth are in the cup final the following week, do you think they will be trying that hard against Fulham?

Did nobody else notice that we beat Madrid 1-0 because Campo ( and Nolan) controlled the midfield? McCann is the one to play in that position when we are in the Championship. While we are in the top flight then Campo is your man. Remember how shite we were when Sammy Lee wasn't picking him?

I think the main differences were 1) their goalkeeper made 3 or 4 crucial saves and 2) they have strikers and midfielders who take their chances. None of our players look confident in front of goal. Taylor couldn't hit the proverbial barn door at the moment. But, apart from Stelios maybe, we have no one in reserve who has ever been a consistent goal scorer.

Wasn't it his flick on that Diouf scored from against Madrid? Personally, I thought davies and O'Brien were our best players yesterday. As for suggesting that Rasiak is more mobile than Davies..... I'm speechless.

0-0. Sounds like we've been a bit lucky so far, though.

It's on radio, if that's any good. 5live and no Alan Green!

Well said that man!

They created 16 between them on Saturday. That should be enough.

I shall be going with my good lady (+ son and brother-in-law) and we shall be going to a Thai restaurant prior to the match. Not because it's Valentines day, thats just our routine on an evening match. Good food, good football and the love of a good woman. What more could a man want?
