@davek if he drops Robles for the Semi Final and we go on to lose courtesy of a Howard Howler(tm), what would your opinion be at that point?

Would you defend him, or would you criticise him?

Wont happen mate. He will play Robles as he did at Wigan.

There's some people making a holy show of themselves over this result.

I cant wait until after we get the points against Newcastle. The vaults are bulging as it is.

I hear what you're saying, but what if he doesn't?

Not trying to cause bother here, just wanted to see if your view on it is the same as mine

(Mine is that it wouldn't turn me "Martinez Out" overnight, but he'd get serious pelters and justifiably so considering Robles doesn't deserve to be dropped)

"Martinez would fail the HR test to join my company"...Ha Ha Ha. FFS, read your stuff back to yourself. It's Alan Sugar-tosh.

WTF would Martinez want with your place anyway?

Dear me. I think I hear the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped here.

More like Alan Partridge lol

If anyone took half the guff on this forum seriously we'd be changing managers very 5-6 weeks like Leeds. The last 4 games we've played reasonably well but either wasted lots of chances or conceded soft goals. Everyone else, bar the top 3 or 4 are doing exactly the same. It's a strange season.

We have 10 from 27 in our last nine. That's relegation form. 4 wins and 5 losses would have been a better return so I'm not arsed about going undefeated.

We have 23 points from 17 games...that's the only schedule I follow. Mid-table form. Let;s do better...we all know we can.

I suppose it's easier to set your hair on fire and run round screaming though.

I cant undersatnd what's happened to this lad. Up until the end of that match today deipnosophist seemed an ok lad...probably still is. But he's let himself down here. Badly.

It's a shame, it really is.

He's a smashing guy, wears lovely shoes and has got us to a semi final. How dare you plotters question him.

Last season mid table, now mid table. Going backwards from where he started

Really wanted him to do well, hope I'm wrong, very much doubt it though.

Never minding the cut and thrust of here and now, I admire your multitudinous fortitude. You do lend me a smile. Keep on keeping on; but don't wind up GOTers. Not everybody has ear toward your leaning

My view is he should have thrown Howard into the Mersey well before now. We need a new number one. He wont play TH in the SF though, no chance.

Some day some team is going to go through the whole season undefeated with 38 draws and going to get relegated. That will give the due relevance to all these stats quoted....

lol...hubris/nemesis

Big win for us. 3-0.

They will be taken seriously (half the success they've had is through opposition underestimating them)
We've got the sort of mobile defence that will snuff out their threat on the break
They're missing two of their five ever-presents - Drinkwater and Huth. Drinkwater, in particular, will be a massive miss as he's the pivot of that side from defence to attack
They're really not that good. The defence looks suspect, and with Huth absent it'll only get more flakey.
We are VERY tough to beat, as the form guide will tell you.
We are in the middle of a run of form that creates lots of chances and sooner or later they'll again (S'land/Villa) end up being taken and burying some team.

We'll win this for sure. The only question is by how much. Leicester are coming down to earth with a massive bump tomorrow.

This answer has satisfied me, and I sincerely hope you are correct (Though I'm starting to fear the worst)

I shall now retire for the evening

Good morrow to thee

Hold on mate: I'm winding up GOTers by doing what exactly? Sticking to my reasonable and long argued view about this season's targets while you and others flail about screaming that we're not getting CL footy?

I'm consistent on those objectives and I argue my support for the manager's rebuilding constantly...good times and bad.

Sorry if that's not what you want like.
