I'm not really arguing with you but surely Orlandi and Lopez were pretty good playmakers, especially the second half of Poyet's last season.

Completely agree. Anyone who actually did their research would know what happened in the play offs second leg (ignoring how unlucky we were in the first leg with being denied a penalty and the own goal for their second goal) and would look at our results and see we've only lost by more than one...

Seriously, what's the point? We know Hyypia is doing badly but it appears Bloom is sticking by him. Until that changes, surely we should get behind him. Or are we going to keep going on about how poor he is (with pretty much every thread on here) rather than support the team?

Sorry, I'm not defending this season but Hyypia has not had the best budget if the lot. Poyet's team in the Championship had a massive budget and we invested quite a lot in his first full season in League 1. Obviously his record is a lot better compared to money spent but to say Hyypia had the...

I have no idea what part Jones had in getting us to the play offs as I don't know how much he does now. As I said, I doubt anyone on here has much idea. I think there's an argument that Sammy Lee is the one we missed out on in the summer and he could have really helped Hyypia but it's all...

What an odd example. Could you explain how that is anything like what happened with Nathan Jones. For starters, he was part of the backroom team that got us to the play offs last year (which in my view was an amazing achievement).

So your defence is to say that you've been against one of our summer signings (which backs up why you constantly criticise him even when you're saying he could do nothing about the goals - see yesterday's thread). I take it all back, you know the most about football of anyone and are also an...

I'm not voting here, mainly because I don't have the facts to vote either way (and I would say nor do most people on here). Who on here knows what Nathan Jones does on a day to day basis? We probably are suffering from missing out on Sammy Lee but that's not Nathan Jones' fault and, if we got a...

I would have ignored yours except you replied to me. As for being a sheep, I have opinions but don't put them forward in the way you do. Rightly or wrongly, I backed Hyypia for much longer than most people on here and stood up for Stockdale when many more people (including you) were unfairly...

Yet more rubbish to try to show how much you know about the game. Same with the goalkeeper stuff. Your posts come across that you think your opinion is superior to everyone else when it's just another opinion. As you might notice, I find it extremely annoying.

What a surprise, the person who claims to know everything about football butts in. The referee clearly did lose it in the last 20 minutes but that's probably Stockdale's fault somehow knowing you. Or maybe just check on football rumours to see what they have to say. I've rarely known someone...

My post, that you quoted, wasn't in reply to you. I was illustrating the point I was making. I'm not even arguing with the calls for Hyypia to be sacked. What I do think is ridiculous is claiming to have been to every home game for 22 years and stopping now of all times. If he's not on a wind...

If you read my posts, I'm pretty much saying the same thing. He's going on about his defeats with Leverkusen. They are irrelevant to me. So I was just showing what you can do with stats. As you say, 3 wins in 19 games in the league is poor. So why not just say that rather than including his...

I can understand Colunga's frustration. Thought he had a good game yesterday and the first booking he got was laughable. Referee didn't have much to do for the first 70 minutes but completely lost it in the last 20. I don't think it affected the result but must be frustrating for players when...

If Hyypia stays all season, I would say there's a better than 50/50 chance we'll go down. At best we'll scrape survival and season ticket sales will drop significantly, meaning we have even less money to strengthen the squad with.

I agree with all of this. I feel sorry for Hyypia. He's clearly been dealt a bad hand with the squad he's got. Whether you blame Bloom (for not providing the money) or Burke (for the quality of players he's brought in), they didn't do Hyypia any favours. However, on paper this squad is mid...

Yes I am sure about that. As for the kick. The goal came from the other side of the pitch to where the kick went so we had plenty of time to get players back. Are you seriously suggesting that goal was Stockdale's fault and had nothing to do with the rest of the time? Seriously? It was a poor...

Today, he had one poor kick. That was it. Before you start on his kicking this season, Walton's kicking was the weakest aspect of his game during the three games he played and was much worst than Stockdale. The midfield and defence opened up. The goal wasn't Stockdale's fault, it was the team's...

It doesn't really but, if you insist on doing it, can you at least make it clear that it is in the league (and cups aren't included)?

Another example of choosing stats to suit your point. Why not just say 3 wins in 18 league games for us. It's very poor anyway so why bother adding the Leverkusen figures? It's a completely different squad and league so not really relevant to what he's done here.
