Free header for best, who sends it away from goal back toward our half

Another class ball in from ameobi

Man of the match - sammy ameobi. What a find! Great ball there for the pen shout.

What a save krul

The ba/gosling signings not looking that inspired so far. Ameobi jnr looks lively.

He spread the ball nicely there for Simpson, whop proceeded to blast it into row z

That is woeful from best lke

We've turned up for the second half.

Good point from beresford - where are the leaders on the pitch? Oh yeah, we sold them all.

There was shite on display throughout the team from defence, midfield to attack. I think the thing that troubles me most is our strikers. Ba and best on this evidence look even worse than shola. Worrying.

Fucking hell and again. He just hoofed it into touch under zero pressure. Looks utter gash tbf

And gosling gives the ball away cheaply. Again

Cabaye and gosling cant get a foot in the ball. Best and ba labouring up top. Ba looks slow as fuck tbf. Lovenkrands wasteful in possession out wide. Only plus so far is marveux seems to have a bit of pace and skill about him.

Fucks sake.

Yes but don't forget the new toilets they just installed at the training ground. They took a big chunk of that 6m. Then there's the interior decorator fee.

Touch of a rapist there from lovely hands

Chanting your support is fucking shit at this lot is stating the bleeding obvious innit

Good to see an almost first choice back 4

Will respond to anything of interest tomorrow when I'll be working from home, am in the smoke just now, new gig. Gloomy used to be a "anybody but Fred" person, just like you man. I still am and I'm right For the record Leazesmag, i wasn't. I won't dispute that i thought it was time for him go. I hoped a new owner with more money could get us back to where we were after Fred allowed things to stagnate by appointing souness and roeder. That doesn't mean i ever said anyone would do better than shepherd. I never said anyone but fred. Find where i said that or shut the fuck up already.

He's right about the club being a challenge

I don't know man. Im just seething at what these twats are doing to the club and hearing people defend their decision making is infuriating But Leazesmag isn't right about anything, ffs don't let him hear you say that.

I expect the answer to that will be a resounding no. I wonder whether chez given will argue Barton was carried last season now too.

The silence from the Ashley apologists has been deafening. And I'm talking about the more articulate among them, not deano, who has continued spouting his usual brand of inane drivel. Come on toonpack, chez - let's be avin you.

To be fair making a low offer to the club is one of better initial approaches. We are desperate, so hopefully it'll be followed up. Don't get your hopes up.

Haha yeah it's a ridiculous state of affairs... I mean I dont really like Barton (in fact I dislike him a lot) but there's no denying he's a very good footballer and even with 12 months left on his contract is worth around £4m. At what point does Ashley stop the selling? I mean surely your wage budget is now fairly low for your revenue? Why do you think he is making all these cuts? Is it to then sell the club on for more money than if it had a large wage bill and debts? I have no idea. You'd have thought he'd have learned his lesson from the relegation season that if you sell your best players without replacing them, you'll struggle. But it seems not. I think he gave up with the club after the keen debacle. Ever since then, he's viewed it purely as an investment, a cash cow. He doesn't give a shit about making us a success on the field, only profitable off it, despite what the fans think of that.
