Rex Ham

I didnt, but I do now, which is no bad thing. The downside to the "race" being opened up a bit now is that the Media (Sky mainly) Hype Machine will be rammed into 4th with the pedal flat to the floor.

I actually think, though this may well be the rose \ red tinted specs factor, that he's moaning less, particularly with his teammates. Another thing he's obviously working on, is the timing of his runs. He seems to be getting caught offside less and less which is great news on so many levels. Long may it continue.

Mostly gash, but cant argue wit this bit: - And then, on Tuesday night, came a display by Gabriel Paletta that made one wonder on what evidence Benítez based his decision to spend £2m to bring the 20-year-old centre back from the Argentinian club Banfield. Speed, strength, composure, positional sense, anticipation, technique - Paletta appeared to lack the lot as he allowed Jérémie Aliadière, who made little impression during loan spells with Celtic, West Ham and Wolves, to run rings around him.

Havent read about other fans dismissing the protest but a Rangers fan I know thought we should just "Drop it now" and "Move on". Naturally, I told him I thought his view was a load of sch1te.

Probably been said elsewhere on here since Saturday, but, ironic how many people were singing "What a waste of talent" at Zidanny.

Thanks for that.

We're very, very short on confidence. Those players that started badly, haven't improved and Gerrard is the perfect example of that. Stop conceding away from home, keep winning our home games and the confidence will start coming. We didnt play particularly well on Saturday, but there were some encouraging signs.

We did it very successfully at Chelsea, we just couldm't put the f**in thing in the net and paid the price. We'll harry, we'll close down, we won't let them find their momentum, but we'll need to be sharp in front of goal to have any chance of winning.

No it's not. Given the choice in a 1-on-1 with the keeper I'd back Baros every time over Bellamy. That said, I think Bellamy's a much more intelligent player, and I think he will come good for us.

2-0 away at Fulham was worse. This hurts much more though obviously. Lets f'in hope to f'kery that was the bottom of the curve.

Eldjers, just off Leidseplein, turn right at the square, as you come down Leidsestraat will have it on. Great atmosphere in there. Proper bar.

I went when the Stretford End was standing and we got beat 3-1. Beardsley scored first (i think) and I managed to stiffle my joy, whilst whispering into my mate's ear stood in front of me. They equalised, i had to "respond accordingly". The second went in and my celebration was less enthusiastic. When the third went in I hardly moved. Never felt so scared and alone in my life. Never....ever...again. It's a grim experience. You cant even get lashed, cos that'd be too dangerous.

Cant blame Toshack for that. A few injuries leaves us in a dire situation. Duffy played as badly as I've seeen a Wales player play. At least when we got humped in Eindohoven, the DeBoers were fantastic, as was the Binman. Slovakia didnt really have to play well to beat us.

Also a bar on Sukhmvit up near Soy11, just down from the Landmark hotel which shows all the games. Obviously cant remember the name! It'll be on in almost any bar you go into though I suspect.
