Just to remind ourselves how awful the last two seasons have been and to feel the passion and pain that ALL team's supporters go through when it's not going well can I suggest reading a couple of posts on the Utd site from "Redman" and "DLIT. " That club sounds like a proper sh@t show!
It just illustrates how bad we all feel when our beloved football teams are total crap.

Will have a look Tom. Can serve as some form a therapy I guess after what could be see as our Boxing Day blunders.
I have thoughg watched United supporter Mark Goldbridge's (consolidated into ten mins) sometimes hilariously damning commentary on his team's blunders during United's recent losses that would echo many of ours over recent seasons.
It is suddenly v important that we get a positive response tomorrow to bad second half v Fulham. Last minute winners by opposition particularly galling.
Ipswich will be no push over at home and did well to keep Arsenal to 1-0 away -- not sure how much rotating Ipswich did if any in terms of weakening team so as to play first 11 versus us on Sunday? I see some paper pundits have linked us already with a summer move for their star striker (ex-Man City academy I think) Liam Delap.

Totally agree Tom, I read all the sites, at leat those who have posters, which aren't many now.
This is why we must keep the interest hoing on our site.
ED001 mentioned before we have ED018 to assist us, yet I have nit heardxa peep from him/ her.

I often find that you can be more “sensible” in your opinions around other clubs. Although, I personally cannot be doing with Arsenal or Spurs and find it difficult to offer anything other than derision regardless of what they are achieving. Slot’s work at Liverpool has been excellent, Liverpool have better control of games than previously, this is where Chelsea need to mature. Chelsea go through phases where they get slack, they drop energy levels (possibly to take the heat out of games and maybe grab a breather) and it can be costly, Fulham proved that. Liverpool simply don’t do that, they make subs who lift the energy. As mentioned with United their results have been shocking. But the spine of their team is awful. GK, CB, CM, CF (ring bells for anyone? ) . I mean, that United GK would give Kepa a run for his money for causing panic, and did I not see McGuire back in the line up covering Casemiro in MF, and a CF who looks and plays like Norman Whiteside in 1982! As for City, plainly obvious, they are just too old. Long may it continue.

It was of course legend Ed02 who reckoned Slot was the best available manager for CFC when this discussed in terms of Poch departure. Slot may already have been set on Liverpool though. But Ed02 seems to have been on the spot as he so often was.

I loved the way ED02 would call out the trolls and call them vegetables. A classic put down by the great man.
