Painful wasn't it? :?

Few positives to be taken from the game bar Gomes world class save in he first half.

Ah well, roll on next week and let's put that one to bed.

I was just on HH defending 'Arry as some were calling for the sack--idiots!

That said, 'Arry gets a dose of blame for that 5 in the middle, no pace, no width, no creativity formation. It screamed of a team hoping for a point! And when we inevitably couldn't create much, we inevitably reverted to hopeful hoofs at 3MP.

Anyway, the players get most of the stick for defensive acts of fuckery.

Ceeerazy isn' it?

You don't hear a peep when things are going well, then when the results dry up the 'Harry Out' brigade go off their tits.

It's quite embarasssing how fickle people can be. :( 8O :?

Anyone who knows me will know my views on `Arry, I do not feel he is the right man for the job. He is not the man who will have us compete with the Sky 4 because he is not good enought

Nick, while I respect your right to have differing views, what I never hear from the "Harry Out" crowd is who replaces him.

So, who? Realistically, so no Jose or Guus. Who is the top shelf boss who gets us there, given that we don't already have CL football? And are you ready to accept another 3-4 year rebuilding project while this unknown new boss shifts out players and brings in his own to get us there?

I'm not having a go or being funny. If you have realistic answers I'd like hear them.

In fairness to Greeky, he's always been against Arry. There's likely to be issues not related to his performance as a manager for us, and we've been round the houses with him many times now that i don't question why when he asks for arry out. it's his disciples that get my goat.

Redknapp could lead the team to a 37-1-0 record, and some people would complain about the draw.

(Blackburn away, if you're curious.)

I actually had a nightmare where we played elegant balls to 3MP's feet. He would kick it up to his head and knock it down to an Arse defender.

Having seen some "highlights" now, I wonder why we didn't just blast the ball at their goal every time we got within 60 yards of it. With no support from Keane or the midfielders, there was no question where every ball bound for Crouchie's forehead was going to end up eventually. Cut out the middle man and just whack it at their keeper. You never know when it might take a horrible bounce, or he has a howler, or perhaps he's fallen asleep during the 20 consecutive minutes of possession in our end.

Has any team in the history of football won a match while playing 4-5-1 against an ostensibly superior opponent? It just seems like an invitation to an extremely dull orgy where the guests play coy, hide behind the furniture, and generally just force you to putter around for maybe an hour or so before the fucking starts.
