He wont see out this year

I was going to say same but changed to early next year. I'm pretty confident it will be one or the other

way to just blurt out an unsophisticated remedial version of my wham joke, you stupid *******.

TBH this situation is more than a little like the ownership saga last season. I think there's little doubt that if Rafa had got us into the top 4 and into the CL then the extra £25/30M in revenue guaranteed would have, in all probability resulted in the other two cunts still being here. The same, I think, applies to the third Chuckle Brother. Results need to get steadily worse to the point of bottom 3 againg for NESV to act. They're obviously in no hurry. I honestly think that they are thinking their tenure effectively starts next Summer. They are writing off this season to get a structure in place. I don't think it lokks like they're arsed where we are this season as long as it's not in the bottom 3.

So you are a closet GM fan I take it Davy

[red g]

Skrtel is very doubtful.

accident waiting to happen imo.

I think Henry has said the new Board with some footballing expertise will be in place before the end of year. I think he went on to say they will set footballing philosophy and strategy.

I would be surprised if Hodgson is removed before they've completed their vision / strategy. The replacement will need to fit with that. Getting rid of Hodgson before that is complete will make no sense to them, they will want the new manager to fit in with where they're going.

I think the only thing that would force Hodgson out before then would be a string of poor results that would threaten survival in the Premership.

Agree with this. I think ideally the board would like to keep him until the end of the season and appoint someone for next season. The way things are going though, I think the fans and players will turn against Roy to such an extent that they'll have to take action.

As soon as the board positions are all filled, I think Roy will be gone. Let's hope they find the new CEO ASAP!

Skrtel is very doubtful.

So potentially its already looking like no skrtel, joe cole & Torres due to injury and the suspended Lucas. But we have Poulson to come back into the team

Nando should be fine, he played through the injury, so it can't be that bad. Bit of tape on the ankle and Bob's your auntie.

[Baracus]

so at the moment

We have torres, skrtel, gerrad and kyut with injury problems nothing yet confirmed

No update on whether these players have improved - joe cole, johnson, aurelio and agger

lucas is suspended for the west ham game

I reiterate again Poulson may come back into the team

So is anyone [craig] still confident we won't lose

At the moment without said players, i have this poor team

Reina
Kelly carra soto konk
Maxi poulson raul jova
Babel Ngog

[little dave hedgehog]

aurelio is fit.

why do so many people always write "kyut" just why?

[Craig_H]

Not confident, no I didnt expect us to be without Gerrard, Torres and Kuyt. I read an article saying torres would 'play through the pain barrier' because he didnt want to miss out. And i had also hoped that Skrtel and Kuyt's injuries were the kind of 'wink wink, nudge nudge' pre-international friendlies type of knocks that wouldnt keep them out of our game on Saturday.

Aurelio is apparently close to being fit (so will break down tomorrow or Friday!)

We look like we'll be in real trouble if we put that side out - a genuine lack of quality throughout the team.

getting ready for yet another massively disappointing weekend!
