Just heard the Fat Lady clearing her throat

bronx dont you know that none of this is “BOB’S” fault, it is people like you and me typing negative things like this on fanzine message boards.
That is the real reason we are leaving the premier league without an ounce of fight,not beloved bobby.[/quote]

Bobble head is simply incompetent. You can forgive that. The people who should shoulder the blame are Whelan and the ‘board’. They should have taken decisive action after spurs last season, or at worst binned him after Blackpool at home this season. Incompetent, over rated, out of his depth and sadly here for another two seasons.

Say that again, my lad plays for a team they get a lot of free tickets when the manager gives em out they say i dont want them it crap watching latics under bobby thats 12 years old kids i feel sorry for the manager he cant give em away :banana-skier: :animals-chickencatch: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

The very fact some called supporters are actually enjoying the fact that we lost 4-0 against proberbly the champs elect is a mystery to me yet they say they have supported the club through thick and thin.

Funny how these supporters have not been on posting since the Aresnal match :think: :think: :think: :think:

i will make you the same offer thirtytreeyearswafc,read my last post and show me the positives you seem to be seeing

who knows you may even break the habit of a lifetime and offer your own opinion for once.

that old chestnut mon ya come out that line more than clown does with excuses,give it a rest its wearing thin now lad. :animals-chickencatch: :oops: :angry-soapbox:

The words premature ejaculation sprung to mind when I read this post. Or perhaps knee jerk, chickens before they hatch etc. etc. Theres hell of a long way to go yet sunshine.
The way you described West Ham today could have also applied to our performance at Anfield and for 60 mins yesterday. Did you see that same Wet Spam team play at West Brom the other week. Great comeback but should have been 7 downs at HT. They are no better than us, neither are Blackpool, West Brom, Wolves, Birmingham, Fulham, Blackburn, Stoke and maybe 2 or 3 others. The fat lady may sing but not till May.

If some of you want to throw the towel in now, that’s your prerogative, but I have seen enough in the last 4-5 matches that still gives me hope that we will get out of this shytehole. :snooty[/size]:[/quote]

lets discuss the last few games then to see where your positivity eminates from.

man utd 0-4
poor finishing woeful defending offered nothing after another of bobs amazing half time team talks.

bolton 0-1(fa cup)
granted it was the reserve/second string but we just showed a complete lack of any effort – remember winning breeds positivity.(but lets forget this one)

liverpool 1-1
despite this liverpool team being the worst that anyone on here can recall -they still managed loads of chances even though we managed to play keep ball for long periods a combination of poor finishing, the woodwork, al habsi and an off side goal gained us a point (how good were the scousers at w/ham today)

blackburn 4-3
blackburn opened us up at will in the first 15 mins should have scored at least 2 more goals before we even started playing – even so we were hanging on for grim life in the last 10 mins and a world class save from al habsi gave us our only league win since last year.

wba 2-2
after conceeding an early goal two set pieces put us in the driving seat by half time -after another rousing half time team talk latics came out a different side, and were battered by the baggies and probably the only bright spot of this season, al habsi gave us a point off a relegation rival in a must win game.

bolton 0-0(fa cup)
another game that will not live long in either set of fans memory, generally acknowledged as a poor game from two poor sides – it will go down in latics history as probably the last appearance of daniel deridder (although he showed up in frankie & benny’s for a meal after the game yesterday and my mrs and daughter swooned at his film star good looks)lets discount this one as well.

aston villa 1-2
nothing much of quality or ability to seperate the teams at half time, bobby got our players so motivated and up for the second period that we died a death until 10 minutes from time when a flook of deflection gave us some forlone hope – we actually gave it a go for that last 10 minutes prompting many to ask why we didnt do that in the previous 80 minutes.

arsenal 0-3
says it all really not one shot on goal all match and al habsi doubling his value in one foul swoop by having the game of his life and keeping down the score to less than spurs got last year.

i will give you a while to read a few match reports of the games i have mentioned,just to refresh your misguided memory – then you might want to come back to the forum and tell us where you “ have seen enough in the last 4-5 matches that still gives me hope that we will get out of this shytehole“[/quote]

Fekin amazin that we draw against Liverpool at anfield and the best argument you can put forward is “its the worst Liverpool team…blah blah blah”
I suppose if we’d beat Man U on setdy you would have highlighted the fact that Rio, Giggs and valencia were out injured.
Yes sunshine I’ve seen plenty of positives in the last 4-5 games and whats even more encouraging is that we are only a couple of points from safety.
You wouldn’t see anything positive if the + side of a battery was walking towards you, holding a million pound cheque made out to Loudmouthblue. :drool:
