    How can we believe, when we can't score a goal which a school boy could finish. Many Liverpool supporters were waiting to say - told you so with Sturridge who was a huge gamble, with not being fit and having a lack of game time - another West Brom sticky plaster attempt to shore a hole!

    8 points from 13 games. I can understand anyone who disliked Pulis but can't see he would have got so few points from these games even though the football was not pretty.

    If we go down - get rid of Pardew and bring in someone who is West Brom at heart who can sort out the mess!

    If I was Lai now, I would take a gamble and replace Pardew with a top name now as at the moment, I can't see us even beating Huddersfield!

    All this puts me in mind of being at Wimbledon when we played them the year they won the FA Cup (I think I'm right). I was with an old Scottish mate who knew nowt about us but enjoyed the crack before the game - including the following. Three young teenage lads spend about five minutes going on about if we did this and if we did that and if so-and-so played to his real ability we could get a result against the Crazy Gang. There was lull in the conversation when from behind a burly bloke from Dudleyaged around 45 I reckoned, who'd clearly listened in to all this turned to his equally burly mate and said; "Ark at them, fu***ng dreamers."

    Needless to say me and my pal pissed ourselves.

    p.s. This was the game when after Wimbledon scored their third goal a load of the Albion faithful who'd torn up the programme tossed a huge shower of confetti in the air and started to chant "We want four!"

    You keep talking about getting a top name Manager, yet you don't come up with any names. The thing is, top name managers have no appetite for relegation battles (unless you class Pulis as a top name) they only go to clubs that are in a decent position and have deep pockets, that's how they become top names in the first place.

    Never a truer word has been written or spoken curlybaggie....prime example at Man U at the moment.
