Hope he's waving goodbye, pile of shit!

At least Coyle's teams knew how to pass and go forward. Freedman continues to be a disaster for our club.

Disappointing end to a bad season. Danns chose to celebrate getting a contract by playing shit, Beckford at least is consistently embarrassing. Glad Chungy ended his time with us with a goal. After having the same 2 seats at the Reebok since it opened we're not renewing. Son off to uni and not much fun sitting through Freedman's brand of football. Probably be back once he's sacked (sooner rather than later). Have struggled to get behind him, smug, over-confident git!

Quote from DF today “We had a game plan which was simply to score more goals than Leicester.." What a genius!! Can't wait for this idiot to go.

Knight was still better up front than Beckford!

Coyle was a genius compared to Freedman. After the Megson era he brought great football and pride back to the Reebok and handled the Muamba stuff with true class. His plans went tits up with Holden's injury and this was compounded when Chungy got butchered in the pre-season friendly at Newport. He got found out when he had no Plan B and went at the right time. Freedman has no Plan A and has to go asap. The rubbish he's brought in and the total lack of any tactics is embarrassing, Tierney is the worst full back I've seen for ages and Beckford is a pile of crap. If our fans feel the need to boo someone it should be him rather than Knight.

Freedman's response will be to randomly pick another 11 from the squad and pray that it comes off. If Coyle was guilty of having no plan B then this useless git clearly has no plan A. He needs to go.

Freedman has never had a clue. Picks a totally different team each week and hopes for the best. Has brought in shit full backs and a terrible striker, can't wait to see the back of him.

Brilliant news for the club and the fans. The new manager will have to be popular and make an effort with the fans as this was (one of) GM's biggest failings. My first choice would be Coyle but he will stay at Burnley, Hughes will not want to come, Southgate, Coppell would be seen as negative, Darren Ferguson would not be acceptable, McLaren is top of the league in Holland and has not been forgiven for his time with England. Just watched Sky Sports news and they had McAteer suggesting Peter Reid as a good choice. Despite him not doing much recently he would definitely be popular with the fans and could be paired with a younger coach to make a decent team. Whatever happens it can't be worse than what we've just had.

Taylor has been poor this season, whether on the right or the left. Taking Ricky off to move Taylor to the left on Sunday was a terrible decision and rightly got a negative reaction from the crowd. Taylor may have no choice where he plays but he could try to stop whingeing at his team mates when he is playing badly himself. This can only be having a bad effect on team morale and he should be told to shut up.

Cheers neanderthal.

Don't worry, it's not just you. Call people bog trotters, spud pickers, and even more clever, porridge wogs, and it's all ok here. Have a go at Megson and you've no chance. If you listen closely you can hear the knuckles dragging along the floor!

Tony Pulis doesn't think he's too old, and his experience is excellent. Also he and his family have always kept links with the club, he would relate well to the supporters and he knows how to handle the media. Pair him with a younger coach and we could have a good combination.

I agree, McLaren would not be a popular choice. How about Peter Reid (now assistant at Stoke), assisted by a recent ex-player e.g. Gary Speed or Ivan Campo?

Enjoyed the game, good to get the win and hopefully go on a decent cup run. Mostly positives with Chung Yong impressive and Cahill absolute class all over the pitch. Klasnic missed a sitter but showed some good close control. Bit disappointed Gardner was subbed as it would have been nice to see us with 2 wingers for part of the match. Taylor should have been taken off instead as his only contribution was the occasional set piece, also he gifted them the goal. Still manages to whinge at all the other players even when his own performances are poor. Pleased for Elmander to get a goal and hopefully get some confidence back, despite not playing well. Hope some of the positives are taken into the next game.

Welcome to my world!

I also heard from a member of staff yesterday that Megson snubbed Jussi's testimonila dinner, much to the disappointment of many at the club. Does this mean Jussi will come back in years to come and have an honest opinion of Megson?

I'm paiently waiting for the rose tinters to come on and make excuses and tell everyone off for being miserable, negative and disloyal. Where are you all?

He basically said that he doesn't like Megson's style of play and obviously didn't enjoy working with him at West Brom. He said we 'deserve better'. He got loads of applause for this and Tony Kelly looked very uncomfortable stood next to him. We all appreciated his honesty.

Just back from game. Total let down. Taylor was terrible, as was Robinson, Elmander and Davis. Nothing going forward and we should have lost by more. Can't wait for the rose tinted spectacle wearers to start defending this!

Thanks for calling me sonny, it's been a while since anyone did that. My first game was in 1971 so I have experienced many highs and lows since then. My reason for feeling more concerned now is that I honestly can't remember being less entertained than I was last season. Even in the lower divisions with far less gifted players we at least tried to play decent football. I know the modern game is changing and money is god, but surely we can do better and I hope we see that this year. If not then the best place to let off steam should be on forums like this, not at the players on match day.

As lifelong fans and season ticket holders, we have a right to comment on what we pay to see each week. It's not negative to say there is a lack of entertainment, or that Elmander isn't very good, it's obvious and there for all to see. I go into the new season hoping things will be different and will be cheering the team on, but if it's still crap then people will have something to say, (hopefully more than the morons who just say 'fuck off')

Elmander is not good enough and does not have any of the qualities needed to be a striker. He will continue to frustrate and disappoint us until we get a replacement. Another worry is Taylor playing on the right. He looks lost and gives us nothing when he plays there. Megson is determined to pick him even when he has played badly, so I expect Gardner (our best player) to be regularly dropped so that Taylor can play on the left. Entertainment will be minimal again this season but I think we will survive, although more fans will have had enough by the end of it.
