Why dont fans who think this go down the road to the Library, or whatever they call it these days. L' Arse.

Maybe the break and new a Manager who wont play robbo every game regardless of form will do Robbo some good. He can still be a great keeper with silly mistakes cut out of his game.

All keepers have bad spells, Barthez had them at Man Utd, and Lehmann has had them recently as well. But with the right people around him he will get back to form.

I'm not saying i think we're gonna go down.
I'ts just I have seen those words posted on here a lot recently, and its a terrible attitude to have and it scares the hell out of me. Hopefully the players realise they need to work doubly hard to get us out of the mess they have got us in.

Our next 5 league games are Middlesborough(A), Wigan(H), West Ham(A), Birmingham(H), Man City(H).

I Can Realistically see us getting 11 Points, so 3 wins and 2 draws. I Think even with Jol this was possible, but more so now. that will put us out of the Relegation zone and stop people mentioning it cos its doing my head in hearing about it.

They are easier Games, we have been hit with some hard fixtures in the first quarter, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd, as well as Everton and Newcastle who beat us in the same fixtures last year. As well as inform teams like Aston Villa, and Blackburn coming to the lane. We Should have beaten Sunderland, and Bolton, and one of the main reason i'm glad jol has moved on cos he was constantly saying "You go away to "enter opposition here" and they make it difficult, we though hard, played well and got something to show for it". which basically meant we are crap away and we got a point against a team we should really be beating.

I Dont know why some people have it in for our board, i know i would rather have them than what Liverpool, Man Utd, and Chelsea have. There board may just sell up, or pull out lots of cash and create a new leeds united. Are board have the Passion for the club and want to do the right thing for it. but they are also financially wise with there investments on players, something i commend as i dont want to see our money wasted. they also dont let players get paid £100k a week. And if a player really wants to be part of our setup they will take what we offer, like Bent for example. when he could have been paid probably near double across at the spammers. Though i admit it sometimes costs us when we miss out on players like Petrov, due to salary, but maybe its for the best. If a player wants to go for money rather than to an ambitious club like us then maybe they arent worth having and wont care about the club when in troubles like we are now. The Only thing they have done wrong was getting caught in August in spain. Jol was a great guy but had taken us as fair as he could go and it was right for them to look for someone else as they have ambitions for us.

Good point Bugsdad can't disagree with that- though it's a hell of any indictment upon our midfield that we're relying on Robbo to create our chances! I really hope Robbo turns it round because he seems to have a genuine affection for the club and the fans but theres only so many howlers you can be guilty of surely??!

Maybe you should look at all the goals we've conceded this season and ask yourself just how many have been 100%, incontrovertibly, Robbo's fault. I'd say the first you could really pin on him was Arsenal's equaliser, and then we had a whole lot come along at once in the Villa game. Some of the others he might or might not have done better with, but he certainly wasn't the sole culprit (Everton's first, for example—was that Gardner's fault, or should Robbo have come out?).

Blame where blame is due is one thing, and yes, we all know that crosses have always been something of an Achilles Heel. What troubles me is that some of us are blaming every goal we've conceded on Robbo, which is both ridiculous and unfair. He's hardly the only keeper to have made several major fuck-ups this season (does no-one watch MOTD?), but the millstone of being 'England's No. 1' means that every error he makes is going to be splattered across the back page of every paper in the land. I really do wish McClown would drop him.

Cerny has been OK, and you can only blame him for Getafe's equaliser and maybe Anorthosis' consolation goal. Several people rushed to defend him for the latter, blaming (correctly) Dawson and Kaboul for the chance in the first place, and then claiming Cerny was unsighted; well, maybe he was, but if that had been Robbo he would have been slaughtered. That's what annoys me.

Get a decent coach in (and maybe Suckling will do fine, who knows?) and work on the crosses and Robbo will be OK. It's pretty obvious his confidence is shot and the enforced break will have done him good. And if the defence can afford him (or Cerny) better protection, we might start seeing an improvement.

I Completely agree.

Ramos won't stand for his dropping of crosses like Jol and Mclaren have

3 words that strike fear into me:

'Bomber, Daddy's home'.

I can't go into too much detail as it brings back painful memories. But thanks threadstarter, thanks a bunch for bringing all these nasty thoughts right back into my head. Just as i was beginning to forget all about it and start a new life... I hate you daddy. I HATE YOU.

Sorry Son. Maybe we could meet up, give me a chance to apologise face to face, have a couple of pints, then get naked and "wrestle". Just like we used to when you were young. Do you still not look anything like Jesus?

I suspect that if you compare our points per games ratio with Robbo against the ratio with Cerny over the past 2-3 seasons the ratio when Robbo pays is far better.

Lets be honest, Cerny is shit.

Woohoo. *Ding ding ding*

Announcer1:"I can confirm that Totteham Hotspurs fans have succesfully identified every single player in their soccer squad as 'shit' and this comes only 11 League games into their League series"
Announcer2: "Those are some truly great fans, there, Brad"

I had a chuckle watching Blackburns winner. Cerny dived he was around 4 yards off his goal line. I saw the posts in my head.. Too far off his line, keepers fault...

Imagine if it had been Robbo in goal, that far off his line.. 'he's crap, too fat, can't position himself etc etc'

He may be a goal keeping liability but he would not have let in any more goals than Cerny did in the last two games .The plus side to Robbos play is that he is probably our most creative player and has more assists than the whole of our midfield put together this season (possibly a slight exageration,but not by much).So Cerny hasnt made any world class saves in his two matches, has let in the same amount of goals as Robbo would have ,but his kicking is nowhere as good.


Just wondering, how do you know this? You talk about it like its fact or something
