Season Ticket holders SHOULD be allowed to buy extra tickets, certainly before it goes to General Sale and some would argue, before it goes to members as well. the only problem with this is how many ST holders would buy extras for Manc supporting friends. I've already had one Manc (genuine Manc, born and bred) ask if I could get him one.... I told him to **** off.

--------------------Davis Cork---------Pearce------Perry------Skacel Lallana-----Schneiderlin---Wotton----Surman --------------Euell------McGoldrick 4-4-2, Round pegs round holes, balance everywhere, everyone knows what they're doing. Won't happen.

Yeah, and if Ronaldinho had played more than 10 minutes then you'd have lost

Jim Steele, Chris Nicholl, Dave Watson, Mark Wright, Claus, Monkou, Dean Richards, Killer, Calum Davenport... Dave watson and Mark Wright for me

No... that's why I still have a season ticket. I do really ****ing hate them though...

That's because he's shiit and sheff have had him for 2 months so they now know he's ****. We can't loan him out because then the prospective buyer will always see how shiit he is. it was a **** poor decision to offer him a new contract in the first place.

He sayd **** all for months and then this statement. The first paragraph about it all being the previous boards fault just killed it for me. I didn't bother reading the rest. Interesting read in the paper yesterday about Niall Quinn. he talked of how when Sunderland lost 15,000 ST holders, the club went on a charm offensive, built bridges and won the punters back... got promoted and they are where are. We have Lowe... it isn't going to happen. The man is poison and as CB Fry has said, will never look forward and will also never look back and admit his colossal part in the failure. The club will never move forward with him there. End of

why does this not surprise me:smt070

Cork but no chance of that happening. Too many other clubs would be interested if Chelsea decided to sell. May get Robertson if Sheff Utd want Dyer but having seen the little shiit up close for a few months, i doubt they'll want him.

Decent player. If fit and we fielded 2 out of Killer, Perry and him, we'd be fine...

..........Robertson Surman.....McG........Lallana .........Wotton...Schneiderlin Skacel...Killer....Perry....Cork ...............Davis No Lancashire, James, Gillett, Mills, Thomson, Gobern or BWP in the side on grounds that I want us to have a chance. This line up won't happen because it has 5 players over the age of 12.

The Henchoz basketball one at Anfield was the worst out of that lot. I was at that game... In the cup final v Arsenal that year he tipped one round the post and Arsenal didn't even get a corner...

----------James Richards-----Mancienne------Davies-------Bridge Walcott-----Lampard---------Barry--------Young ------------Agbonlahor------Crouch Defoe, Upson and Carrick - proven not good enough ? Why bother ?

1st Shilton... 2nd Niemi, 3rd Flowers

Killer will play v Reading. Cork, Killer, Perry, Skacel. Gillett will be no better than James at RB. A midfielder playing in a position he's hardly ever played in.

Mancienne ... the one with the dreadlocks who cleared up everything today.... yep, just got called up by England... thought he looked good.

Davis 7 - no chance with either goal but made some good stops 2nd half. Still doesn't communicate enough. Cork 6 - Solid game I thought. Always tries to use the ball well. Lancashire 3 - Blessing that he got injured because he would have got sent off again. consistently jumped under the high ball. not good enough. Pearce 6 - Great goal and recovered well after dodgy start. Skacel 6 - Not much going forward but did his job effectively. Schneiderlin 7 - some great passing but needs a 'tackler' alongside him. Tired as game went on. Surman 4 - Not a central midfeidler, too powder puff in the tackle and generally not assertive enough. Euell 4 - Makes runs in to the right areas and with him in the side, the formation has a better chance of working. Sending off was not deserved. yellow at most. Lallana 7 - Worked his balls off. Lovely skills but needs a bit more end product. McGoldrick 6 - Some decent play in the air and on the ground but at 1-0 he was 1 on 1 twice and missed twice. Gobern 2 - Ridiculaous selection. out of his depth. Wright-Phillips 5 - Had a limited impact though very unluckty to hit the post. Not a winger. Perry 6 - Defence looked miles better as soon as he stepped on the park. Poortvliet 2 - Sort it out you clown. The selection of Gobern and the non-selection of Perry were absolutely astounding. If we'd lined up with Wotton in midfield and Surman on the left, with Perry in for Lancashire - that would have been a good line up. Gobern, like Thomson and White - isn't ready. Lancashire is a liability. He gets booked / sent off because he's not good enough so he's always diving in. If Perry is fit then he has to play and he's on the bench so he's fit. The unwritten rule seems to be that we can only pick 2 experienced players and today we had Euell and Skacel. Perry and Wooton in that team would have made it a lot tougher and more organized.

Unless we are in the top half by the end of January we will be relegated as the squad we have post-January will be a lot worse than the one we have now. Even if we sold Surman and Lallana for £4m the pair, I doubt any of that would be re-invested in the first team. Maybe 2 20 year old replacements on loan. Our only hope really is to get lucky with a few loans who perform like Defoe did at Bournemouth for example. Even if we got these players I have no faith in Jan P getting the most out of them. You can't build a young team for the future in the CCC - it's impossible when the best ones will be sold and replaced with inferior players every 6 months.

He took the job to stick 2 fingers up at Mandaric. Lowe gave him the job to stick 2 fingers up at Mandaric. If Lowe had even half a brain cell, he would have realised that employing Harry and giving him a **** squad and no money to deal with was a complete waste of time and yes, Harry should never have taken the job. Yes he's a wide boy and yes he's probably done a lot he won't be too proud of when the day of reckoning comes but he's proved himself a very good manager when the conditions are right. If he'd been given the Burley money and been motivated then d'you think we'd be 20th in the CCC now...? LOWE OUT!

This shouldn't even be a story let alone a ****ing great pitch signing fiasco. It's a joke. Anyone remember Luke Byles? He had the same treatment as far as i recall. ****ing embarrassing, even more so as 180 Wilde is being bigged up as a talent scout. ****ing clowns, just **** off.

Our results away are better than at home because when we are at home, the opposition sits back and we are supposed to make the play. Our totally unsuitable formation means we can't do this and so we end up doing nothing and ultimately getting beat. Not much to do with the fans IMO.... that's an excuse. We playon the counter attack away from home and that's what we're set up for. If JP doesn't realise this and doesn't realise that we need to play a different way when at home then he's not got a clue IMO.

The management of the club took a gamble on him being fit and probably playing 40ish games this season which was never ever going to happen

The most unbelievable thing about Powell was that we renewed his contract after two years when he'd played about 15 games. I guess he was cheap

One trick manager. Got promoted by hoofing it and was totally clueless in the Prem and totally cluless last year when teams (not us) sussed them out. Lost a few players, didn't adapt at all. Will be the next Iain Dowie - semi decent reputation based on one promotion but when you scratch beneath the surface, very very average.

He has to play if fit. You pick your best team... are you telling me he's not a better player than BWP, Gobern, McGoldrick, Thomson.... Using the daft formation that JP uses.... I'd go with ----------------------McGoldrick ---Gobern-------------Surman-------------------Lallana -----------Wotton--------------Schneiderlin ---Skacel---------Pearce--------Perry/Lancashire---Cork -----------------------Davis Round pegs in round holes, it will never catch on.
