Valencia also limping. And the hits keep on coming...

Have we lost this season from a winning position?it beggars belief,we must be setting some sort of new record for this!!i bet the opposing fans of every team are saying when they go a goal down "dont worry its westham we will score".Its getting beyond a joke....

I know a lot has been said about why we do not get any penalties but I just wonder if it's down to the referee's just being fed up with our loud mouth captain constantly challenging their every decision? Have any of you heard Nolan spouting off? I have and it's not very pleasant! Thoughts! we have only had one awarded this season and Noble missed!

Not too long until the big one at Aintree tomorrow. If any horse race is a lottery it is this one, but millions will select their picks and watch the race tomorrow in front of the TV. Most will be disheartened when their horse fails (me every year!) but some will strike it lucky and win a few quid for the weekend.

My losing picks are Night in Milan and Al Co, but what are yours??

What can we expect from this game? Will the players be stung enough by defeat last week to the bottom team to put in a performance? Will they be playing to try to save Sam's job, and do they care? It's said that they are already on their sun-beds, but if I suspected that of a player I'd want him fined a week's wages for every time he didn't give 100%! "We won't change our attacking play" says the manager. Well, we will see, but if we are badly defeated by Stoke, the clamour to replace the manger might just get too loud for G&S to resist. I'm hoping for a good win. COYI!!!!!

Got to be some golf fans/players on here?

Sounds like Adrian is cementing his place as a classy guy and a firm fan's favourite. If they ever try to get rid of him they'll have a revolution on their hands! :-)

what has happened to him? i'm well aware of the 'he's been played out of position by allardyce' claim. however, is he not a natural wide player anyway? should he not if pushed out wide still contribute a performance? i've noticed that he has been played in his 'favoured' point of the diamond role again in several matches yet does not perform anywhere near what he did earlier in the season. why? is it simply a case that actually this is his normal performance and actually the early season form was simply a flash in the pan? he's just not the same player, his passing is abysmal now and his threat to goal is non existent. with this in mind, if we want to continue with the diamond, surely we need to look at who plays the key point role? for me its not downing as he can't do it game in game out, do we need to recruit someone for this role? if so who? or do we have someone within the squad who could do better then downing?
