agree with john doe…the players are just not good enough to do what he wants them to do. i can see what he wants from them, quick passes to feet, always be available to recieve the ball, counter attack in numbers, but the fact is they are just not good enough.

bizzarley, swansea are good enough..they have carried on what he started and have bought well, players who are comfortable with the ball, play without fear, are very strong at home…everything we are not.

when we came up under jewell, we had the no fear factor, and were decent at home, we bought experience in de zeuww and henchoz, then when bruce came,he had a very good home record, his team didnt play pretty football but it was effective and we competed in every game (man u apart) and i thought we were moving forward, unfortunately so was bruce and he couldt wait to run away..but the players he had, did the job asked, and i think we were quite comfortable most of the time.

under martinez i can see us only getting worse..with no fresh players we are stuck with the same players who are not capable of doing the simple things, to get us out of the trouble, that THEY have got us in.
i dont actually think it will be such a disaster to go down and start again, we are not a club full of big name players on long contracts so shud be able to deal with it ok…

just cant wait for the season to end to be honest..

i hope she’s not registered on here, or your in big trouble pal :clap:

want to echo the praise for jack green…me and beany used to walk home from springfield park with jack, as he lived near beany, always stood in the same spot right behind the goal, we used to go under the popular stand till about 15 mins left, then make our way round and stand with jack for the last 5 or so mins then if we would either go in the club or walk home over the bridge with jack.

i know times av changed, and if we’d have stayed at springy park we would have probably died….but i’d love to go back in time for 1 more game…hang about under the floodlight for abit, stand with jack for 5 mins, then go in the club, check my coupon on that big feck off tele they had at the front, av a couple of pints, and wander off home over ‘the gant’….

football was real back then……dont let em blind you about how wonderful this premiership and football is now, with its greed and pompous attitude..

it was better back then..

united to win the league…city and chelsea will push em close tho, with liverpool just behind, think it could be a very good title race this year.

as for the drop, the usual suspects will be fighting it out, but i think swansea look this years poorest team, norwich wernt much better, but home form could keep them up…i think blackburn could be in trouble, along with ourselves wolves wba and fulham.

but i’ll go rovers, swansea and norwich.

fooking hope not he’s fatter than me!
