Northern Red

I suspect those saying it hadn't actually seen it and were relying on radio or internet text commentary.

But, but, Pembo was the Messiah last week?

How lightweight is that midfield?!

And people are questioning why we signed 2 players today...

Not had a goon round the living room like that for a long time!

Agreed. And I wonder if they ever tried to tell him. Not that he'd have listened, obviously.

Sack everybody!

Just having a nose back through the match thread, were people really doubting whether Fielding was injured for O'Leary to come on? Of all the batshit mental theories I've seen on here, that has to top the lot.

If you were a promising kid in our 'academy', you'd be looking to get out ASAP wouldn't you? If they're not going to get a look-in now then frankly they never, ever will.

Bringing on Burns in the 92nd minute after we go 1 down. He's taking the piss isn't he? Can't complain at all if it costs him his job.

Have you ever posted anything even remotely positive?

We're going to get battered.

So not chucking the towel in is 'being a happy clapper' now, is it? Stick to crying about JET.

I only hope that the players and manager have more belief than some of the fanbase, otherwise we may as well forget about survival.

And that's fair enough. A bit different from 'needs to consider his position' though, don't you think?

Dunno what's more predictable, what happened on the pitch or the embarrassing reaction from sections of our 'support'

Indeed. There may be a debate to be had about whether some of them are good enough, but they can't be accused of a lack of effort or fight which is more than can be said for past City sides who found themselves in this position.

Depends on your agenda.

Liar!

Charlton losing. Somehow we're being kept out of the bottom 3 by other teams being more inept than us.

Lose next week and I reckon he's a goner. This simply can't continue, we're sleepwalking to L1.

What's the view on this new thing they're trying with the toss, where the visiting captain is offered the opportunity to bowl first if he wants? In theory it's a decent idea, with the aim of improving the chances of us producing Test quality spinners. However they've then scheduled 6 of the 16 Championship games before May ends and another 4 in September. So that leaves a grand total of 6 games in the height of summer, great planning....

Great stuff. Thought he'd have to KO him to win as I honestly didn't see him doing it on points, Klitschkos just don't lose on points over there. Got in his head and unsettled him.

I'm not sure that even the most optimistic City fan thinks that 'all is fine'...

Oh great, the rambling Swede is on.
