I could see what his long term vision in regards to the modern game. We'll get none of that under AM. The performance we're seeing now is the best we'll get. It's not 'awful', it's the norm under him. And it won't work.Here's a shocker. Supporters aren't happy with a manager who could take us down with rubbish football. Chris doesn't understand it though, sadly. I hope he will sooner or later because it's becoming ridiculous the amount of straws he is clutching now.Don't flatter yourself, I tend to skim over your posts as no thought goes into them.Yet why should your opinions be taken seriously when you commented on a game you haven't seen? You're a hypocrite and worse of all you insist of defending him when he has turned us into the new Blues. The facts are there, you just refuse to acknowledge it.[/quotei agree with chris on a couple of points, firstly, if we are looking at our season from a position of a club that spends about the 8th most of money, takes about the 8th amount on revenue, has about the 8th highest attendances and about the 8th amount in salaries, plus our own contributions as fans being about the 8th highest in ticket prices, we are round and about where we need to be! i do feel however in the expectation charts we feel we should be higher but there isnt much justification for that at the moment. the football that i and my 2 sons are watching( i buy season tickets for us and go to most away games also) isnt very good! My expectations have dwindelled the past couple of years! but in agreement with chris, i have lowered my sights. The second thing i agree with is that i also skim compass's posts!

I didn't comment on the Spurs performance though Compo, you're just making things up now. If you offered a bit of balance I could take you seriously but you try to twist everything to be the fault of the manager, it just makes you look petty and small minded.
I can actually see us losing at Bolton, Bolton will want this bad and will believe that this is there 3pts, on the other hand i just can't see Villa beating anybody, I can actually envisage a rough time v Bristol Rovers in the cup.After Bolton we have Liverpool, Arsenal, Stoke away, Chelsea, there are a matter of a few points between us and all the way down to 16th Fulham who have a game in hand with 13 played, its academic, if Eck has any sense whatsoever he should look at these fixtures and realise that by the time we get to Stoke he will be facing a shit storm, and go now.Randy Lerner should show he still as the clubs interest at heart and make his move with AM.....
Was Lerner at the game yesterday?

Are Bolton a better side home than Sunderland, QPR, Swansea or Everton? Places where we've already picked points this season. There is no, logical, reason to presume that we are not capable of getting something up there.

Mid table teams, mid table results.And lost at home to 13th place West Brom, drawn with 16th and 17th placed Fulham and Sunderland, 14th placed Swansea and 15th placed Wolves.In the process, only Blackburn and Stoke have fewer successful passes than us, only Stoke have had fewer shots than us.Five points from the last seven games, and with a dreadful run of fixtures still to come. What's the trajectory there, do you reckon?
