Gutted by the manner of our defeat but completely proud of my team tonight.

After Zayatte went off, our CB pairing was a 22 year old French lad in his fifth or sixth game in the PL and an 18 year old in his second game and neither put a foot wrong.

But what the fuck, I'm off to take consolation in beer and skiing in the USofA in the morning.

thanks for taking mcshane by the way

for those that dont know, this is his best moments from the one PL season he spent at sunderland (well worth a watch)

And you can fuck off

Swapping Turner for Mcshane is the worst piece of business by City since you took Tony Norman and sent us Iain Hesford.

Good to see Fraiser get on the scoresheet at last. How come the wheels have come off for you? I reckon you'll be OK as I maintain the bottom three will be Pompey, Burnley and us or Wolves

to be fair, i cant believe mcshane actually went to your lot and looked half decent!

Not sure why we have started doing so shit- it is partly injuries (we have often had most of our midfield out, and for tomorrow have no cana, reid, richardson or henderson, who could often form at least 75% of our middle 4). Its just a case of hoping the fans give bruce time to make it work, you cant get a decent manager and then sack him because of one bad season. Thankfully quinny and our billionaire owner know this, so we should be okay (but after the 19 and 15 point season- who else remembers seasons by how few points they got!- we know to take nothing for granted)

As for Campbell and turner well, i am a big critic of campbell- for me the lad isnt a footballer, he is too weak, doesnt get in good positions, fucks up the chances he gets too often. I cant see goals in him, but i hope to be proved wrong. Turner is decent, but not quite what i had hoped for. He is good in the air admittedly, but his distribution is woeful, a big hoof every time! I think with a good player along side him he will look good but our best defender (by miles) is john mensah who is always injured

As for your lot, i think you can stay up- its portsmouth, burnley and wolves for the drop for me. I must admit, i wont enjoy this season at the bottom as i like the fans of all 3 of those clubs, and hull. Hull suffers a bit from being a mainly rugby place like, but the fans you have are good lads, burnley is a great footballing place, wolves are canny enough as are portsmouth (other than that bell ringing twat). Its the likes of wigan and bolton that i cant stand tbh!

Best of luck for the rest of the season

This won't half piss them off - a Mackem and a Tiger on their forum.

You are probably right about both Fraiser & Turner.

Talk about remembering season's by ppoints totals, we had a season in Divison IV when our away record was P23 W1 D1 L21

Turner doesn't seem to have done for you what he did for us. He was immense last season in the air and on the ground. I think he is a confidence player, he was woeful when he arrived and remember him contributing four to Colchester in a 1-5 defeat after we had sold Leon Cort.

I think Fraiser was wrong to choose you over us, but then he wasn't to know you would also sign Bent. His pace is fantastic but I suspect that is not enough in the PL - it was more than enough in the Championship.

I must admit to liking McShane despite his increasing evident shortcomings, perhaps just for demanding Delap's towel from a ball boy at Stoke and then drying his hair on it.

We were shocking second half. I'm with Augie I could not believe the way they were strolling about in the second half. Where was the commitment and desire. We did not look like a team needing points to win the league.

I'm also with whoever said its either the heart from stress or the liver (from alcohol to relieve the stress) that's going to give before the end of this season. My stress levels are building every game.

to be honest i thought campbell had made a mistake at the time, he was well liked at hull and would have got games up front. when he came to us he must have known we would also sign another striker and so he might not get many chances. He must have something (although the man utd pedigree means very little- if they let you go you generally, pique aside, arent good enough to make it at the top level), but im yet to see it

I do have hopes for turner, like yourself i see a confidence player which is why i think with a decent footballing centre back he might do really well, he certainly doesnt lose much in the air. Its just his positioning, passing and decisions that leave a bit to be desired

I actually didnt mind mcshane- that video shows how shit he was (involved in about 5 goals at everton!) but he was always committed and he could make it as a RB imo, if he can get a bit of a footballing brain.

Anyway, its an arsenal forum, we'd better not outstay our welcome by discussing Hull and SAFC all night

best of luck in the relegation battle though mate

Actually I thought your guys fought hard and had won a point until the fateful moment. This was more down to our ineptitude - but there you go.
