Satan? Don't you mean: *Drops voice three octaves and joins death metal band* SAY-TON? I think Old Nick's a Man Utd supporter actually

I used to quite like them the band that is. Duran Duran. Talk Talk. The The. I thought he was referring to Them

Amen to that. Whatever happens the attitude in the dressing room needs to change. If there are players with big egos bad attitudes and inadequate contributions we should do our best to move them on whether we stay up or go down imo. That description might cover most of the squad, mind.

Satan?

Beat Boro and we have a chance we scarcely deserve. I've got nothing against Hull as such, it's just a case of them or us.

So do I. I hope he gets the time he needs if he does stay.

Absolutely. Otherwise we might need to get 36 points to stay up which looks beyond us at the moment. Winning our remaining home matches might just be enough.....which also looks beyond us on present form. Of course we're relying on Boro, Hull, Mackems to continue their rubbish form to the very end.....and sometimes one of the relegation teams will pull off an unexpected giant killing feat in the run in to survive, so we need luck. * makes note to put on lucky underpants, scarf, hat, hold lucky key ring, stand on one leg, draw only the left curtain, get Mrs K to wear batman mask, get every other house in the street to turn lights off, eat lucky cheese, write the name of Shearer on Italian marble (imported) and lay at the bottom of nearby lucky stream/river, slaughter sheep at 12 midnight on night before games, manifest the devil by putting ipod on loop while incanting the name of Madonna. * FYPTBSTBS Eat lucky cheese?

Darth Vader. Old skool manager.

I think Viduka and Owen's contracts are up at the end of the season. And you'll buy Barton, it's written in the stars . Oh yes Take your point though. I guess some players will assist in moving on as they'd be too good for the championship (in their heads). We may have to take losses on some deadbeats like Geremi and Duff just to get them off the wage bill. Some we will never ever shift and I look forward to Shola's stint as player manager in ten years time.

Judge: "would the defendant care to point out the person in question regarding the race hate charge." Craig:"Of course. That mop-haired Argentinian/Pakistani/Polish/Black/* cunt. God I hate him!" Judge: "ah I see, thank you for being so specific, case dismissed." *add your own Hmmm - slight issue here, it's an internet forum, not a court of law. Get some fucking perspective you retard!

Once again Barton thinks he's done nothing wrong. He never does, does he?

I just goes to show what a bunch of pampered childish egotistical nobs these players are. It just goes to show how rotten we are and how unprofessional are players have become. Anyone who bitches about these basic standards wants shooting. If we were top of the table I'd be more sympathetic. We need drastic surgery go down or no.

Can't say I agree. He's hardly turned out for us and he's never hit his Man City form when he has from what I can tell. In addition he's generated bad publicity through his own actions and shown little evidence that he's capable of change. This latest episode points to a lack of respect for the club and its predicament imo. Some players just never seem destined to do anything regardless of how they look on paper. In Barton's case it seems to be a mixture of bad luck with injuries and a radgee mentality. Whatever the reason he's not worth the aggravation, disruption and expense imo and we should get rid if we can as there'll be more to come from him I'm sure.

Not even sure what we need him on the pitch for. 2 goals in 2 years? Penalties at that. Half as many appearances as alleged perma-crock Owen? I base that solely on him not being Nolan or Butt.

Some people go on holiday to the same place year after year. Jings.

What irks me is that he's pointlessly got himself sent off and banned when we need him on the pitch. I think he's run out of second chances.

Yes

The best you can say about him is he's as thick as mince. He's effectively banned himself when we need him most and for what? Not the sort of player we'd want to keep, championship or no. Sell him to Blackburn I say !

Great post Stevie. We will rise again though mate. It's just a question of when. That's up to Ashley - it's up to him to turn the negatives into positives now. I don't care who's fault it is anymore.

Can't be bothered to look at the clips. Is one of them "Sorry seems to be the hardest word?"

I think we're going down. However looking at the table, if we go one win better than Hull and match Boro's results we stay up on goal difference. So the heart hasn't given up hoping, although on that performance the head says we're done.

I'd prefer Jim Dandy to the rescue

Now arrived in NZ via college field trip to Mexico. Fucking students....
