I don't know about playing the shit teams, but every year, the list of teams we can't compete with seems to get longer.

Come on Paulie, we're hardly playing the world's shittest teams at the moment are we? I don't even think our team looks bewlidered or lacking confidence as it has often in the last couple of years. We're better than we've been in the last couple of years too.
And yet still on the verge of another friggin defeat and another friggin shit record.

...against a team that's finished above for how many seasons in a row now?

I appreciate they're better than us, so were our last three opponents, but I don't think that means we can just shrug off what is currently 10-0 over 3 and a half games, and barely a shot on target in that time.

We just don't seem to have a go in too many matches. Everton are a better team than us, yes, but they've struggled a bit recently, haven't been scoring, and it's surely not unreasonable to think we might look at least competent against them?

It just seems like three and a bit years of making excuses for really poor football with next to no progress.

Thing is, the second goal in this was a freak goal - stupid mistake from N'Zogbia and sloppy from Guzan. If that hadn't gone in we might have competed this half.

There wasn't much in the first half to suggest that - and it did go in, anyway.

Okay, I give up. We're shit, the players are shit, the tactics are shit, the manager is shit, the passing is shit, the defending is shit and the attacking is shit. Nothing has improved ever.

You were absolutely right up until the last sentence, because as we all know the VMF restaurant in the Trinity is better than ever.

The thing is, if we had a situation vacant at the moment, I think Moyes would come here and he'd improve us a lot. I think he's had a good break and recovered somewhat from Utd, and obviously, LVG's struggles will have helped him.

However I expect Randy to hold off till the bitter end. Particularly now as sacking Lambert would mean a payoff on a four year contract.

What are you drinking???
I was gonna ask you the same sir.

Lambert isn't going to be going anywhere. That four year contract was only, what, a couple of months ago? Ink will still be wet on it.

Not sure what's worse - the game or the nonsense negativity on here. We have had a decent start to the season, lost to three teams guaranteed to be in top 4, and granted are playing poorly today.

Hardly the end of the world.
And there it is again. I glad someone keeps remind me that we should accept that we can't play out with the big boys but should look forward to playing the with the shit ones.

We have the most ridiculous comment of the day to the most sensible.

Proved my point exactly, cheers

Again, why is that some mitigating factor?

We've got our most key player back today, too, for what its worth.

people like you really get my goat, happy to accept total shit, week in week out. even the Liverpool game was shit to watch. since then we have conceded 10 or 11 goals without reply, playing awful every game.

We have been shit for three seasons - giving Lambert an extended contract aint gonna change that -things are that bad I would take being "average" as a massive step forward. Just who can we compete against now? its that pathetic, its almost funny - Lambert and Lerner - The Chuckle Brothers - subsititute "to me, to you " with " we go again, we go again" :)
