Led Zeppelin titles now. Surely the bottom of the barrel is well scraped.

Sums it up nicely Dave.  More questions than answers at the moment. Hope for some form of clarity some time soon!

Very well summarised. The whole situation is a massive worry. Eric Black has simply worsened the fans moral with his team selections.

Can't get that back pass out of my head. It was so spectacularly incomprehensible. I mean, what was he even *trying* to do ? Has there ever been a worse back pass in the history of football ? It's only escaped scrutiny because we've been so shit all season, and the game had nothing on it, if that goal had meant something, like if we'd been playing one of the top two, I think questions would be asked.

These things are as Dave says, not even worthy of schoolboy error, so when professional footballers make them with such frequency, I do sometimes wonder if something else isn't going on. Mohammed Amir's dodgy no ball was surely more subtle.

At least with a box of chocolates there are likely to be some you like.

I have struggled all season firstly to put out of my mind and latterly to find some unprovocative way of suggesting that certain financial irregularities might be behind the conceding of spectacularly soft goals.  Such a thing is of course utterly unthinkable and entirely without foundation of any kind.

What I will allow myself to say is that if our players were racehorses a hell of a lot if telephone records would be being sifted through.

Richard's 'defending' of a corner against Everton(?) made me think exactly this. He 'misjudges' the flight of the ball by basically barging into Hutton allowing their striker a completely free header. His tracking of the run of Barkley in the same game was so half hearted it almost looked like he wasn't trying to stop them scoring.
