What the hell?!!
After watching the Bolton farcical, i was just totally clueless. What the hell were these players serving? A plate of shit i suppose. I was disgusted with some of the players poor attitude and lack of desire especially. The Arsenal game now seems a distant memory. Too many were under-performing and looking at how things are, i can't see any other thing other than a defeat on sunday. So much for optimism.
All of us are losing faith in the team, especially the manager and chairman. We have been in this situation before and by god, we will stand together and fight this together. We shall not let repeat this again. Lesson has to be learn. Yeah, try telling that to the players......

You don't know what you're doing
Already the mood of cautious optimism tinged with relief that could be sensed after the season opener at Highbury seems vague and distant.
Returning from London that Sunday evening 10 days ago, there was at least a sense that we'd been genuinely denied the chance of taking something from the game by bungling officialdom.
And pleasingly, there had been talk of a pre-match dressing room bonding session, with rallying calls from unexpected quarters, followed by some demonstrable on-pitch togetherness.
However that was severely diluted by the miserable interlude that was the West Ham game, when the sun shone but the mood among the faithful lengthened in tandem with the shadows cast over the pitch by the stands.
And there was nothing that vaguely smelt of Toon spirit tonight, from a Magpies side as collectively out of sorts and off-colour as their green away garb.
Quite simply, this was one of those games one looks back on in wonderment at how we managed to fill almost 100 minutes of play with absolutely nothing admirable or memorable to show for it.
Souness should take the blame for this defeat. His inept ability to bring out the best of a player is evident. Questions over tactics and formations have to be raised. This is just not good enough.
To blame all of our ills on the lack of a striker provides a convenient excuse for the well-paid professionals who showed themselves up at the Reebok as they did against West Ham.
Had someone been capable of getting the ball into the box (as opposed to the opposite stand), then a bloke who has scored one or two goals in the past might have remembered how to do it.
Michael Owen would be worshipped at this club - but he's not the messiah.
Even the sons of Nazareth carpenters (and Gosforth sheet metal workers) need a helping hand if they're to perform their miracles.
How true...
