And ? getting rid of a manager after 14 games would add another 100 weight of support to the theory that this club is a fucking cartoon of itself. this was never going to be fixed in one season let alone 14 games. indicative of the quick fix mentality of this country. You all want a plaster, when what we need is a splint. i agree with you. it's far too early to be talking about sacking him but it sounds like he's lost the crowd and on the last few performances you'd say he's lost the players too. if this continues his position will become untenable. i'd say if we'd got anything from today it would have been inspite of sam not because of him. his decision have been shocking. wouldn;t you agree?

"stayed at the reebok. you should have stayed at the reebok"

"sacked in the morning" chant scousers. cue home supprt applauding and another round of "big sam for england". .....and boos for carr as he comes on

have we created anything all match? all i can remember is a speculative 25 yard pot shot from smith in the first half. that's pretty poor...and worrying.

fuck me, torres should have had about 4

i want to give him time. i don't want the fans to force him out and for us to continue with the managerial merry-go-round but all of sam's decisions today have been bizzare, frankly. sam might have lost the dressing room and now the fans but he never gaves us a chance with his selections and subs today.

this is like a training session. defence against attack. fucking pathetic.

"big sam for england!" chants the crowd

milner warming up....watch him sub n'zogbia and play milner down the left

not only is it a completely inept performance technically but we look like a side completely devoid of heart and passion - we're there to be beat. i thought the football would be ugly under sam but i expected him at least to make us a difficult side to break down.

not exact;y inspiring when we need to chase the game. looks like he's settling for the 0-2.

great. so he makes a change but leaves smith on the field.

can't believe sam hasn't changed anything like. this is shambolic

andy gray laughing at us. cunt

good grief

haven't we had one of the threads already? i don't think we should sack him. he's had nowhere near enough time. but if he keeps playing smith in midfield my patience is going to wear thin.

given should have probably walked too. he's got to change it at half time like. i'd put milner on for smith and barton on for emre or butt.

what is it with football managers and their post match glass of red?

gerrard was awful for england against croatia. he deserves the boos. typical that he looks a different player today though and scores a cracker jack.

this is fucking clueless. we look even worse than we did last year under the rodent. no creativty whatsover. geremi and smith down the right. can smith please fuck off? why is he in the side exactly? to give the ball away it seems. viduka looks fat and slow and martins is having one of those days where the ball bounces off him anytime he goes near it. on the plus side beye and enrique have looked decent.

Are you out delivering chocolates later or something? no. i'm just sat at my desk looking trendy

what's the point in signing him? you could guarantee that he'd be off in a season or two

i'm sporting a black y3 polo neck cardigan as we speak, with three very apt white stripes running down the back.

i dunno but i'd put my mortgage on him finding room for smith somewhere in the line up
