    Are you enjoying this season?

    Quite simply no. Whether that's me just not enjoying football as much as I used to or not I've yet to decide. If I didn't have a season ticket don't think I would be going.

    The "where will we be in the table after tonight's game?" thread

    After all the talk since Saturday probably go and win.

    How many more games has Hypia got, if the current 8 league run without a win continues?

    I don't understand this comment. Necessary for what?

    Who would you want to replace Hyypia?

    How is that working out for him at Reading?

    How many more games has Hypia got, if the current 8 league run without a win continues?

    I wouldn't say that, there are players with premier league, la liga and Dutch top flight experience in the squad. Not to mention up and coming young players.

    Who would you want to replace Hyypia?

    I wouldn't have a problem with that, especially on a caretaker role to see what he has got.

    Who would you want to replace Hyypia?

    Oscar, health and if would come back. Otherwise, I liked the sound of the French bloke we apparently interviewed or Steve Clarke.

    Sam a fighter not a quitter

    When he is line for a nice pay off (imagine he got one in Germany as well) if things don't change why would he quit.

    Middlesbrough's goals analysed

    Said similar back in pre season. Full backs first job seems to be to get forward while defending is a novelty or the midfield will cover (leaving the middle horribly exposed). Really dislike the way he has us playing, we may get 6 points this week but it would be papering over the huge holes in...

    Hyypia......

    Would do for me. Successful at development level and would have learnt a lot from Oscar.

    I'm 'Team Hyypia' and proud of it, anyone else?

    Not sure I could disagree more. When has Hyypia changed things during a game? Players yes, but style? It has always been the same, full backs pushed on, midfield covering and two number 10 type players behind a front man.

    Now the team has had time to settle in....

    Holla. - started well, but seems to have gone backwards in the system and Hyypia's coaching Teixeira - Has to be better than what we have seen given that some Liverpool fans thought he would be challenging for their first team Toko. - Oscar wanted him back in January, just can't see him being...

    Hyypia......

    Why? Gus didn't and neither did Oscar (Jones was good enough for him)

    Why all the grief for the strikers?

    I think Ulloa would struggle in this set up. Felt for Baldock yesterday, he had nothing to work with. Very difficult to say if he is a decent player based on his limited time on the pitch

    [Football] Tactics

    But its not when the full backs are pushing up, they start the game pushed up and occasionally revert back to their defensive role. The midfield are then asked to cover the full backs which leaves huge gaps in the middle or if they cover that space the space is left out wide. It also limits the...

    I'm 'Team Hyypia' and proud of it, anyone else?

    He wishes he was Garcia, Hyypia is nowhere near Oscar.

    Pulis...would you take him now?

    Looking towards the future and the investment in the academy he might get the first team up, but I don't think his record in bringing youth through is that great.

    Managers interviewed in the summer?

    We invited a French bloke to the training ground, but I can't remember his name. He has achieved promotion to the French top division on a low budget

    Value of our squad

    Dunk, Solly and JFC. If LuaLua had more on his contract he would fetch a decent fee, maybe Holla?

    WTF good luck in dole queue Sami

    Maybe not (Forster-Caskey is far from shit though), but its his fault the way the team is set up. It is his idea to play the central midfield as full backs while the full backs are resolved of all defensive responsibility.
