I certainly wouldn't risk my burgeoning reputation on such an incompetent bunch of senior players and over rated youngsters.Can he really tell that from 2 games?If he can't then he needs medical as well as football advice.

But Lambert hinted he may bring in more players before the transfer window shuts on 31 August. "Owner Randy Lerner, myself and chief executive Paul Faulkner will sit and see what's going to happen," the Scot said. "If something comes available and I think it's worthwhile, then you can look at it. "It's a really young side and sometimes you need a little bit of help."

I'm not kidding either!Probably the most pathetic Marketing strap line in the history of our club.I love the fact that the General uses that at his college in America. If anything sums up the cynical, marketing led bollocks that was a feature of the first five year of Lerner's ownership, it's that. Spin, bluster, and downright lies.

I knew it would turn out bad the second I saw that stupid flame thing as the players came out.

The embarrassing thing is that someone at the club has suggested this and others have agreed - surely someone somewhere down the line of command must have questioned it.Next will be Blur's "Song 2" when/if we score.

Think Cresswell scored an own goal today, looking forward to seeing Thomas Ince against him in the championship programme. Think Ince has real talent. Trouble is Holloway is a prize to55er and wont be easy to get him.
Signings - PROPER signings or were in for a long hard season, and after last season, we cant mess about, the goodwill just isnt there anymore. When Bannans shot was saved yesterday, our own fans were jeering him, now thats a seriously bad sign during our first home game of the season, i fear the worst.
