We need to get a good start into this game..seeing as most the time we start bad and carry on bad.Good start,good tempo and up for itness and put in a decent performance!Fans who have travalled all the way deserve it,we deserve it and the manager does! No excuse to play shit...wana win this comp gotta turn up!

Was gana attempt to peel off the J.Cole from the back of my old shirt..but it'll probably end up looking like shite.Which is annoying cause love the ole bright yellow shirt....helpful if Mata stays mind..add it on somehow lol

Think that was more to do with Steve Clarke..in my opion anyway seeing as Grant then went on to manage two premier teams and took them both down

Exactly,get rid of the manager but if the problem players are still there,there is nothing to stop it happening again and left in same postion!It has happened several times in the past and is crazy! Its not showing anyone respect,manager,club or fans really.

Good draw...ish...gotta get through first and then tough game...hopfully wont look at them like a 'meh' team!

It also shows the poor attitude the team have some developed for 'smaller' teams.They dont seem to play like they're a threat and instead stroll around as if that will be enough! They turned up for Valencia,City and Man U and they need to start turning up for every game espically this one!Fans deserve better and so does the Manager

Might spend a while here but no doubt soon as he sees the challenge over off he'll go again.Be surpsied if he does settle doesnt seem to be his thing

They're defintly beatable...but sadly we are shite.It all depends on what team turns up.If we can play like we did against Valencia or City or Man U till Webb went crazy we have a good chance.However play meh and we're screwed.Away goal mega imporant.Not loosing also good but saying that we lost a tie before,went back to the Bridge and all went fine and dandy..not sure if that be the case this time but gotta go out a give a decent performance!

Maybe we will win something..hurrah!

Time for him to goooooo................... bubi!

Spurs seem more likely,champions league and prob have the same manager next season!Whose gana wana come to a club with no manager if we sack him..

Mata looks like a werid love child of his...and the board are silly.If we sack him and Jose says piss off...hmmm who can we get!? Rafa?!Wenger?He looks to be out the job and Grant still around woooooooo.See what happens but the players need to get over themsevles and play.Its their sodding job!Cant decide they dont like the manager and randomly dont give a crap!Thats rubbish and no excuse!And very annoying!

Eeeeeeeeeeek we're going to losssssssssseeeeeeeeee!Hopfully an away goal..probably hoping for to much though.Eeeeek!

He's another one who started off pretty well and has gone crap! I remember him having really good games a while back.

Mata's pen.Least it was saved and he didnt send it over the bar but still would've been a pretty good pen as well..their goalie had an great game..sadly!

Hmmm the lines down it makes it look like its just been screwed up and needs a good iron! Our away kits tend to be quite nice.Like this seasons one and did love the bright yellow one...damn Joe Cole leaving!

Like what saw today..now be better to see him get a run of games!

I'm kinda curious who on the board decided to make Grant a bloke with no experince manager that time...they have made some odd and stupid decisons but that one :S kinda sums up the lack of logic they seem to have...sack a world class manager and bring a cone man in

Yeah true and he's doing well at West Brom as well...did like him at Liverpool though...enjoyed them being more shit

We need a manager who isnt afraid of upsetting players.Benching them if theyr'e shit regardless of who they can be..but no doubt for that we need an owner who will also understand the reason for the manager benching such players.I mean Lampard got benched...got a bit funny about it then starting playing every single game despite the fact he needed a rest.Torres.Been shite yet seems to start every game..either down to a hope he'll become better or feeling the need he needs to be started due to the 50m cost And we also need players to get over their issues and play like they mean it!No point going into games with the 'its only so and so attitude' every game a cup final and play how we used to!

God Man City and Valencia...seems a long time ago and we played bloody good those games!

If it was a one off..maybe understable but the fact is it does seem to keep happen player protest or just general lack of respect or whatever and will take a lot to change that!Probably players going offskis!

The Carlo sacking as well!Daft! He won us the double..we finished 2nd...and its to late now to realise mistakes have been made!He could've learnt from his but never given the time.And we're worse off now..so didnt exactly work out!

Thats the thing though does seem to happen often regardless who the manager is.They get to a stage where some 'meh attitude' comes into play and thats that.Happened with Scolari,Carlo and even with Jose at a point..that Rosenburg game where no really was there at all! There is no point bringing someone in if the egos cant be sorted out and the same thing will happen again And if they cant get motivated for the Manager be nice if they could do it for the fans.Who have made the effort to go and follow their team,spent the dosh to get there and tickets and then to spend 90 mins watching players mehh around..

Defence wasnt to bad until it came to set pieces..all went mental then.Everytime B'Ham had a corner or a free kick a bit eeeek here we go moment
