LOL. It'll also help Cech to be on his toes, knowing if he doesn't perform Van der Sar would be ready to take his place.

Is Mancienne still on loan?

Yeah, I know. I was responding to Laylabelle's post. I'm saying we shouldn't have sacked him and back him instead so we wouldn't have gone through a few managers. Or at least not sack him until we have a quality replacement like Ancelotti available. And definitely not sack the replacement and allow him to build his team.

Yes, we have because those problem could be avoided. We could've rest our key players more often to minimized injuries, except for Cech's. Surely if we've killed a game, it'd be the time for youngsters to come in. We should've gotten a good keeper as back-up in January, Cech was injured in October. Someone like Brad Friedel or a mid-table club's first team keeper. I'd try for Van der Sar had he still been a Fulham player. We shouldn't have sacked Mourinho before we have a replacement for him ready. Heck, we shouldn't have sacked him at all and back him instead.

I put an 'if' at the beginning.

Yes, if we can get a point or win at both Anfield and OT and win the remaining games.

I think I posted a pic of him in the hot guys thread last season. :huh: Yep, here it is.

:goodpost:

I hope so, too. Then again, if he does sign, it will be because he can't find a better deal anywhere else IMO.

I LOL'ed. Astouding naivete, Kez. If his agent knows Joe can get a better deal elsewhere than what we're offering him, he'll be off like a bird.

I agree with Kostas. If we don't win the league, then it'll be another case like the one in 2008. Only it'll make me feel worse because we basically let Man Utd win the league 4 times in a row.

I'm not blaming them, I'm saying they could've gotten a red because of the unfair decisions we've been getting.

Hope to see the same formation again. Borini and Van Aanholt to play once we killed the game, too.

Malouda and Sturridge could've gotten a red instead of a yellow. More decisions like those would be great.

One last post for the night. I've never believed in blind faith. Sorry.

The ref had a good performance, too. I wasn't expecting a yellow card to be given to O'Hara for that shirt-pulling on Deco, tbh. It's about time we get fair decisions. Anyways, it's 5 am here so I'm off to bed.

I couldn't care less, to be frank.

What, we can't criticize the team when we're playing badly?

Let's hope we play similarly for the remaining games. Especially against Man Utd and Liverpool.

I'm praying we play like this against Man Utd and Liverpool.

I'm not sorry for expecting MUCH better from the players we have. Obviously, when we can't even create one clear cut chance against Portsmouth. We depended on James making a suicidal mistake, which I'm very sure Van der Sar won't.

Man Ure will still walk all over us based on our last few games.

I agree, sadly.

I hope we don't sit back in the 2nd half like we have in recent games.
