Let the record show

[The Man With A Stick]

The likes of Vlaar wouldn't stick around, not with a World Cup coming up at the end of next season.  A year traipsing around the championship wouldn't do his hopes of staying in the Holland squad any favours.

Same with Benteke and Belgium.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep our only hope is survival.

[martin o`who??]

That we picked the wrong season to fuck up big style.

Apart from Benteke, I'm really not bothered who goes to be honest, none of them are of the type of quality needed to stay in the division.

I’m also really glad we haven’t gone down the QPR route; I’d rather we did go down and not risk the future of the club. Ludicrous transfer fees and wages, Is what got us into this mess in the first place.

There's a lack of rallying calls about the club. Not much "Get behind the lads" "We're doing everything we can to get out of this" type noises. It does look like the towel has gone in.

But when the OS posts such stuff from a player all it gets on here is a load of slagging and comments like "Don't tell me, show me."

They'll get pelters whatever they do because at the moment "everything's shit", so they may as well not bother really.

[Risso]

The crowd have been behind the team though, and they're still shit. 

[Irish villain]

That we picked the wrong season to fuck up big style.

I know. Unbelievable.

[Mister E]

I really don't get the logic of some people on here .The likes of Makoun, Hutton, Given, Ireland, N'Zogbia, Bent would all be sold now if we  could - we can't shift them so they'll definetely be here next season unless we give them away, while players like Benteke will be flogged to raise cash and keep us afloat. It's what always happen in these circumstances. The quality gets sold and you're left with the arse.

It's not a case of giving them away, it's a case of paying up their contracts! Or, at least the lion's share of what their remaining contract is worth.

There is no way Benteke will remain when we go down, so enjoy him while he is still at the Villa!

Same applies if we stay up, unfortunately.

Just listening to 5 Live and Andy Reid said that in our pre season friendly at Forest he felt that we completely lacked confidence once we went a goal down.

He said he was amazed at how quickly we were drained of belief in what was only a pre season friendly. He compared us very unfavourably to Albion, who they also played pre season.

On reflection the signs were there, we passed it around well in the first two thirds of the field but lacked physicality and presence. We were only talking about this yesterday.

He'd also better hope that the Netherland's management haven't been watching his defending this season.
