I take it we are talking England only here? If so, Newcastle because I happen to actually like the city (!) and to a smaller extent Liverpool (must be something to do with the swedish match of the day always showing them when I grew up in the 80ies). edit: that was the teams I have a soft spot for.
Teams I dislike: Chelsea, Fulham (but I admire what they have achieved), well that's it I think.
Forgot to add, it is hard not to like clubs like AFC Wimbledon or FC United.

Yes, it's good to hear at that people might be awakening to what Paladini is all about.

At least a goal, that ticks one box then and should at least get them some more confidence.

I wonder if there will be protests after the match today.

Sabas, since we seem to play like individuals and not as a team that is probably not a bad idea.

Maybe we should put Stewart up front as target man, seeing he is a liability at the back and just had our best chance up front.
I would also like to add that David Elm has scored one and set one up for Fulham tonight, he is a typical target player. Yet most people didn't seem too interested when we were linked to him in january.

0-2 the defence is a shambles and it sounds like we are a league 2 team or somehing.
Surely this is a team of better players than the one we had before the transfer period 2 years ago? If I remember correctly we began picking up some points november-december back then.
Listening to this it is impossible to see where our next point, let alone win, will come from.

Right, that's that then. Since we haven't scored for ages, my optimism is now gone.

Shaky start, crucial not to conced a goal the first 30 minutes I think, then the lads will probably get into the game a little more.

I remember Dowie saying he inherited an unfit squad but when he left they were in top shape.

Ouch..... Have to say, having heard DD talk last season he is one of the few players we have had recently who doesn't always toe the party line and actually speaks his mind. Precisely what Ainsworth had had enough of. I remember Delaney telling the truth on QPR World and you knew then he wouldn't be around much longer. Not the best but certainly not as bad as some"ITK posters" would have you believe. Yes, and in the same interview Rowlands were praising Briatore and defending last season as a success. Much to my disappointment.

But of course, the real problem here is that we ONLY have loan strikers. Not one of our strikers is our own! Apart from the youngsters.

He is correct, must be horribleto be dropped for two new loans that has traine maybe twice together before the match. Very strange to let new players walk straight into the team like that, especially so many at once (Hill and Quashie as well).
On the other hand it is a little distressing that he talks about it to the press after getting benched for one match. We will probably know more after tonights game.

Good point. Like the team is disinterested? or half-hearted? Or just confused by all the changes, having to adept to yet new instructions, having another manager experimenting yet again with what players should play and which should not. Confusion of what to do on the pitch is often mistaken as poor attitude. But I think Moriarty has point.

Probably not, but he is all we have and what decent manager would even come close to our club at the moment?
Harford has to be given the chance to put the shambles of our team together and manage the club for the rest of the season, for better or worse.
The only scenario where I can see Harford getting the sack being a good thing is if we get a proven and recognized very good manager in instead.

God, nightmare. I cant imagine Mike without internet access!! Hehe, no. And more serious, hopefully there is just that and nothing worse! When the power goes like that the whole society just stops working for awhile. Hope everything is fine with you Mike!

Must add, we still have terraces in Sweden, which makes it easier to get a good atmosphere.

But you have to remember, had we won and been going for the play-offs noone would write anything here. That's what I hear at least, we only moan.
On topic, I'm 100% sure Sousa would have done great for us this season and he was a really good signing by the club, which makes this whole affair even more sad.
