I think there always will be splits in the squad, it's not something I see as being a major problem to be honest as long as they can go out and play like a cohesive unit. It only every shows up as a problem when the team is playing like they had never seen each other before. Arsenal is an example of this. I'm sure I can remember someone, probably after leaving Highbury, saying something about the divisions between different nationalities, with all the French lads sitting together etc. Doesn't really stop them coming out and playing some of the best passing football around though. Having said that, you'd imagine a united dressing room would promote a good "work for the team" ethic. But the only reason Souness keeps going on about it, whether or not it's actually there, is that it's the only thing he can be perceived to have actually done in his time here. Otherwise what positive thing could he say about his 17 months here?

Genius

In relation to the happy dressing room. Was it just me who saw the comment made by the special needs one about not having players coming to him on a friday evening demanding to know why they aren't in the side. I don't know whether this was refering to the amount of injuries - so anyone slightly fit gets a game - or the Souness was trying to say that all the players were happy about the team selection. It seemed to be the latter. However surely a sign of a good club is players knocking on the gaffers door, demanding to know why they aren't playing, it's show desire, commitment, competition for places. Is the real reason that they don't argue or at least question the selection down to the fact they really don't want to be out there playing this god awful football? I may have missed his point here slightly.

What about pissed as well as stupid?

In fact I think you should all take a good long look at yourselves. You've let the board down, you've let your families down, and most of all you've let yourselves down.

I think you've been mighty unfair to this poor lad, who's come up here and only wants to be liked and make some friends, but who you have systematically bullied since the day he arrived. FOR SHAME

Aye that was a good one

uh uh

Wasn't it male models who shot Kennedy? Something to do with the trade embago stopping the import of Cuban slacks?

I think you mean "spellerer

Type quickerly Don't think this is on the arcade, and really shouldn't be, but there you go I can only manage 6.8s

Agreed... I get frustrated with the way we can't keep posession for more than 10 seconds without giving the ball away with some ridiculously overoptimistic or just piss poor pass! 74487[/snapback] The lack of movement, especially upfront hardly helps out the defence. 74488[/snapback] Exactly, Bramble's balls used to be something of an attacking threat when you had someone running into spaces, launching a quick counter.

I very much doubt a big name manager would take the job on, everyone knows it's the poison chalice. It'll no doubt be Roeder who has the task of picking up the pieces and then installed next to Shearer. Personally I wouldn't mind getting an unproven, young manager in from a lower league, someone with some fresh new ideas. Not sure who though.

Aye but if anyone could show in space for a pass they might be able keep the ball away from the 18 yard box for, I don't know, 14 1/2 seconds. Not one player on that pitch really wants the ball.

I'm personally of the opinion that we need some players who know how to keep possesion of the ball, rather than give it away every time. That alone would ease pressure on the defence. If we could keep the ball up the park for any length of time the defence would have more time to regroup. Also having some semblence of tictacs would help. Comparing the group of players we can put out with any of the teams alongside us gives the impression that if drilled correctly they should be a helluvalot better than what they are.

It's got to be unlikely, with only two more spots to fill, we've got to able to hold off West Brom, Birmingham, Portsmouth (whether or not there's 100 mill to spend there), and Boro and Everton are going to have improve a lot. Stranger things have happened though

It's fairly believable, fucking horrendous but fairly believable

I'm going to be in the Union Rooms from four with a bunch from "another board" then onto Sports Cafe for some change jangling in pocket
