Being happy with the way things have gone this season is one thing. I can see some things have been handled badly.

Mounting protests against them, though? After four years of not putting a foot wrong?

What would you put on your placard?

My placard would say "we are even further away from the top four than we were since you came in.  What are you going to do about it?"  Don't get me wrong, generally, I like Randy and he has done a lot for the club, but, the team on the pitch is the most important aspect of the club and to that degree, he has ruined any gains made over the last three years or so in just one season. Put it right by getting a Management team who share Randy's ambition and quality.

Every one can have a bad season. We're not immune from it.

If you recognise that he didn't put a foot wrong for the prior four seasons, why on earth would you be protesting against him? It is the manager who fucked it up this season.

You could turn that directly onto the chairman, but it strikes me that someone who has poured that much money into the club and done so well prior to that has at least a bit of credit in the bank.

He can put it right by doing one thing.  Appoint a new management tea,.
Amen Brother.

Having rewatched the interview  ( I was a bit pissed first time round) he says we're not mathematically safe but we're ok the boys can play with a smile on their faces.I wonder if they'll be smiling if we're 4-0 down to Arsenal and Blackpool and Wigan have won both their games

Well we could be top four if we had a new moneyed, classy owner. Earl Grey? He has a good record in the cup too.

Just made my BBC Predictor and have West Ham, Blackpool and the Rags relegated. The Rags finish on the same points and goal difference as Wigan but are relegated on lower number of goals scored.

We finish 14th.

We have the advantage of going into Sunday's game probably knowing that we are mathematically safe.  I would dread to think we would need to rely on the team to get a point from the next two games to be sure.

ManU's last two games are against Blackburn and then Blackpool. If they remain unbeaten we are mathematically, stick-on, guaranteed not to be relegated.

On a similar note, if Man City beat Spurs tonight/tomorrow, and Liverpool beat Spurs on Sunday, our final game with the scousers will have no bearing whatsoever on their league position - 5th, regardless of what result they get at VP.

Would they really  relegate Houllier in a game that means absolutely nothing to them?

Say what you like about this season, there have always been new straws to clutch at.
