Well, I've been quiet for a while now, and for a reason. As those of you who read the posts on this site regularly will know, I have been one of Sam's biggest supporters. He has done a great job for us in the previous two seasons, but I'm afraid he really seems to be struggling now. We all know the AC saga, but I don't think it was his fault that we didn't buy more strikers in the summer. He doesn't do any of the negotiating, Sullivan does (with a bit of help from Gold), and BFS gave them a list of strikers from which they managed to land absolutely no one.

BFS has a game plan, but his main problem is that he doesn't seem able or willing to change it when required. If we keep on playing the way we are, I really fear for us, and I don't think the return of AC will be our salvation.

I'm loathe to say it but I think it's time for BFS to go. As for a replacement, NOT Di Canio, he's a liability. Hoddle, maybe, Di Matteo, maybe, but my choice would be Bilic.

Whatever happens, we all need to get behind the team on match days, booing just strips the confidence from the players even more, and the clue is in what we are called - Supporters. COYI.

Yep time for a change. Sorry COYI but can't agree with your defence of BFS. Never wanted him with us and I'm afarid its a case of chickens coming home to roost with his out moded view of the game. But with a demoralised squad stumbling around in the dark and fixtures against Manchester United & Arsenal up coming can't see anybody of note falling over themselves to get the job before the New Year! Personally I'd love to see Bilic back with us.

Going from Bad to Worse because we have a gutless board. Sam has to go and something has to be done to pick the players up and bosst them. If things carry on as they are we will be sharing Olympic Stadium with orient when we play them next year.

Thanks for all your hard work Sam but its GAME OVER

Dire rubbish sums up our teams performance today the odds on relegation are dropping daily I like optimism but some posts are written in hope not realism not only do we need two strikers we need at least 3 other positions as well cannot see any proper funds being used as desperate as we are dgs have tied themselves up in knots with the debt to be cleared pre Olympic park entry Dempsey at this time definetly NOT on wba are now circling jelavic after our contract withdrawal heitinga still a possibility but he wants big dough money problem apart diame is tired of playing out of his preffered role chatting going on with mls agent heard nothing concrete re Spanish starlets heard we are back in touch with a couple of last seasons targets don't know who? sam was given 6 point target by jan 2nd can we get a point at man u or off arsenal doubtful 5points between the rest not with this team I fear why sam persists with maiga I don't understand he couldn't play for my pub team one of the young reserves might have put away his chances today things must change and very soon IRONMIKE
