Anything better than this:

People saying this happened to both teams have blinkers on every week imho. Every single home game our players stack it. Clyne is the worst offender for this particular incident. The opposition hardly fall over at all, but ours seem to love sliding around on the backside, typically 5-7 times a match as a rough average guess. It ****es me off every game I go to. Biggest one I can think of is Clyne vs Van Persie but there are far to many to count. And the thing is, we do do it more than the opposition, but we should be used to the pitch, they shouldn't. Therefore, someone fix the fecking boots!

Wow, so in 16months Oxlade has ruined his career. Do you honestly think that. He left saints, and in one move went from league 1 (3rd tier) to playing champions league football in around 6 months, got in the england team, and is becoming an england regular. Yup, HE HAS RUINED HIS CAREER!!!! In comparison I offer you Kerian Dyer, Alan smith or Wayne Bridge. All made big money moves, and all went backwards and now play in lower leagues.

Shhs! .... He said no names As for the game. Only thing to havit better for me was guly not scoring an own goal. He works so hard to appease the fans then it all goes. wrong and the same few beat him mercilessly. I thought tactic were good.. we shut then down! And all players were superb bar boric... Still has sum work to do for me. Morgab. Gran, GRam, cork or yoshi for MOM

May be unpopular, but I would drop Rickie for JayRod.

Behave, look at the position of the Arsenal youth teams, and the injury record for players under their world class coaching. Honestly what a pile of BS. Are you a Gooner? Or maybe a skate?

Not Really... Man City and Man Utd we came from behind to lead, we then threw it away, everton we had the lead and threw it away, etc etc etc. What you should have said is "we will struggle to win the game" - lets be realistic

His tactics were horrendus yesterday. 1.) you don't beat a team camped in their 18 yard box with pure pace. What is there to get behind, the touchline? 2.) Wtf, we lose our best player in Lallana, so he compounds the error by taking Ramirez, and sticking him out of position on the left, where he is not involved and is wasted. Everything he did was when he came into the middle of the pitch. So basically we were missing our both of our best creative midfielders, (you need them to unlock a team camped on their 18 yard line)! Nice way to help Villa and handicap ourselves. However, His changes were good. De ridder got at villa with some actual skill and was dribbling through quite a few of them. actually gave us some penetration. (Shock appearance though, but I think he did allright tbh.) Only downside to him was his delivery swasn't brilliant, although 50% accuracy on crosses. Puncheon on the other hand was a **** stain all evening. I don't want to even go there with him, just dribbles like a headless chicken then never looks up or got the ball caught in his feet. He sucked donkey balls. Guly did okay, had some good ball control and strength which is what we needed, keep forgetting what a tank he can be. Personally we should have had JRod on for Lambo, Guly on for punch and de ridder on for mayuka - all on 50min, gone for a 4-3-3 and got at them with ramirez in the whole, but as per usual, Nigel left it to late to and made the wrong subs for me. I love nigel to bits, but yesterday the tactics were off and the players let him down big time. Especially Lambert, punch, cork, morgan and Gaston. To be honest, the only player who stood out for us was 17 year old shaw, and even at 80min he was one of the most positive energetic players we had, still doing a driving run into the box when certain other players had long since switched to half arsed mode!

Thank christ we are not playing chelsea in the league any time soon!! That could have been us!

We will beat city.. have no fear. We are their bogey team we were always going to lose today... Team with no interest in attacking play comes to sms = defeat as for today. Nigel ducked up. We'd lost lallana so he thought he get rid of our other best player by sticking him out of position on the left. Genious. Also nice to sed do prado getting boo'd when he came on.... I must have missed puncheon playing at least average or something.

I don't think I am usually guilty of that. In contrast, I looked into this thread thinking it was an interesting transfer story. Its not lets be honest. I scrolled down though, reading what I thought was a interesting discussion about the club interacting with the fans. It's not that either. What it is is a selection of the usual WUMS sat around taking the **** and looking for a bite (which you've managed several of - hi 5!) before turning into a slagging match with handbags at dawn. Its boring, and your post initial post I replied to summaries this perfectly.... well put! As for this new "transfer" I've not noticed any changes with the club, but then that isn't surprising if he doesn't start until January is it really? Anyway, I'm done intervening in this teenage spat, if the MODS don't step in then what is the point of bothering yourself on this forum. All you get for it is being called a troll by people who are trolling - flapping time!!!

Just reading through this thread and others, your self righteous post summed up how I feel about you (some times) now stop getting your handbags out - its embarrassing, you give it large all the time, and if you can't take a bit back then that's not my fault is it?? Basically, considering the 3 of you are all (i presume) grown men.... do you not think you should grow a pair rather than having a flapping at each other on an online football forum. God know's what other clubs think of us....

Lol, didn't know you wrote autobiographies...

You can see my all round confidence in the result from this post, and the amount I change my mind :~

I would not be averse to seeing Lee in the team actually. Adkins obviously liked him from all the hype he gave him last season. Reminded me of Pardew whacking off about Puncheon - and he was proved right in the end. His injured spell is over and he's started to look good in the development fixtures. Who else do we have to play Left midfield really. And if you can't try him against one of the worst teams in the league... what is the point in having him. Personally I think we will see him on the bench. I wouldn't be totally suprised if Do Prado is CAM with GRam out on the left. And punch-eon on the right. Alternatively, we could go for Mayuka right, punch left and GRam middle. Lots of options. Of course there is also JayRod left... he started to gain some confidence. Whatever we pick, I am starting to get nervous about this one. Sunderland have picked up the last few games, and are up for this game, they are definetley not underestimating us like some of the others. And lets be honest, reading were ****, qpr were ****, and Newcastle were knackered. We have been looking better than we actually are and this one will be a real test for us. If you think otherwise then i reckon you are in for a shock this weekend!!!

I'm sorry but I don't think calling someone a name that they are not is in anyway crossing so far over a line that we need a thread about how non Political correct it is. Please grow a pair. I agree whole heartily with the view that insulting/abusing someone because/about THEIR mental illness is utterly unacceptable OFC. But calling someone a spaz on a internet forum. Bugger me with a small wooden fork..... that is a serious internet crime. People are right, we are turning into a fanbase of wet fannies!

£3m net spend from foot of league 1 to premier league.... ****ing terrible record that!!!

I apreciate that you feel you are in the centre of a bunch on lunatics talking crap out their arse, but to hold frimpong up as a good signing........................................................................................... oh dear.

Basically, if you didnt by and htc when you could have afforded one, and flash doesn't work. I have no sympathy for you. I hope that is helpful Charlie! Support htc!

Basically, I want the sash back next season! That kit was fantastic, as was last years championship home + away. Why have we ****ed around with this seasons **** designs? Its not complicated. Give us a kit with a diagonal stripe(s) and a yellow and blue away strip. The end. Failing that give us or traditional red and white vertically striped shirt. And let us buy our 3rd (i mean away) kit u mongtard merchandising people. ****ers.

Sorry to set up a parallel thread for this, but would be genuinely interested to see the proportion of fans count as a success this season at this point in time. I saw that Hypo has said virtually 100% of fans would go for survival as the answer, and in fairness its hard not to agree with him... but lets get an official count ^_^ I don't know how/cant't set up a poll - can anyone do the honors? 1.) Valiant batter, relegation, squad retention and return as champions? 2.) Survival 3.) Survival and a cup run 4.) Mid table is a success - Survival would be average 5.) We want Europe!!!

Ahem, we need to beet chelsea and get another home draw to wear it more than twice surely? Clashes with stoke and sunderland so thats them out, man utd where white and red, scratch them, noone else wears red so we will wear the home strip. Therefore it's going to get worn twice this season unless we beat chelsea?? Or have I missed some teams?

I am very confused - In order to be a regular spectator at St Mary's you are by definition not working class? I admit that I have grown up post working class/middle class war, but surely to have £30 a week to splash on leisure doesn't quite seem to be working class to me. That or you are spending peoples taxes (benefits) on tickets and tea/beer - whatever is your fancy? Now you can work hard for a living, but if you've got a bit of cash as a result you aren't middle class surely?

This

Or butland is just not ready and not worth the hype maybe? From what I have seen he is a forecast in the making... okay not quite that bad, but he clearly isn't going to cut it. That has been obvious since the olympics.
