  1. We need to get behind him. I really do believe that getting rid of MON would be possibly one of the worst things you could do. We'd only end up getting Mark Hughes.
  2. Completely agree with this. General, I am completely behind you, Randy and MON. While I am dissapointed in the result I understand that these things happen. UTV.
  3. These knee-jerk reactions are getting rather annoying.
  4. Worst game I've been to in my life. I thought it was all ok up until that penalty really (might I add that was NOT a penalty). We played well at the start of the second half but then fell to pieces. Nothing you can do really but move on. I'm holding out hope that we can bounce back from this and win next weekend.
  5. 2-1 to the Villa. You heard it here first.
  6. I'll tell you what this thread has been unbelievably positive for VT. I like it though. I have to say, the first thing that came to my mind was the Man U away game.
  7. This is why I don't want City to get 4th place. As much as I hate Liverpool and Spurs (then again I hate City too) it's vital that one of us gets it instead of City not only because of that but mainly because they could cement their place in the top 4.
  8. I really can't see MON walking in the summer. I think he's devoted to the club and as others have mentioned, where else could he go with a better chairman?
  9. He would have to be a complete fool to walk. He can shape a team here and has the full backing of the board. Not sure where else he would have it as good. That I agree with, but would you stick in a job where your work isn't appreciated? Better to judge at the end up the season but there is a definite feel of frustration in the air and you can't help but feel we are hitting our heads against a ceiling at the minute. To be honest I think it's just a small minority who don't appreciate him. We still carry on chanting his name week in week out.
  10. This would be my team and I think this might also be the team MON picks --------------Friedel-------------- Young-Cuellar-Collins-Warnock Young-Petrov-Sidwell-Downing --------Carew-Gabby*/Fonz------ *Gabby if fit of course Now I think this can go one of two ways: I think they'll either be really confident from that Portsmouth win and go on to comfortably beat our tired team. Or... They'll go into the game complacent and we'll go into the game with a fighting spirit and record a shock victory. Keep the faith.
  11. I agree with giving him next season. I still think we're doing better this season than we were last season at the moment and perhaps next season MON will start rotating players and installing that killer instinct into them.
  12. Can this poll be made again if we beat Chelsea on Saturday?
  13. Even though we drew today I certainly wasn't bored watching it. I see you're forgetting Reading there. What is your problem with MON anyway? He's certainly not perfect but you make out as if he's the worst manager in the league.
  14. I did say the "sack MON brigade" would start to gather steam if we didn't win tonight. As for me, a couple of draws aren't going to make me think differently of him - I still think he is a really good manager and can take us forward.
  15. Normally I have some idea on how I think a game will end but this one I have no idea. A win would do very nicely though.
  16. Not good enough. I'm not still not going to write us off yet like most people are (surprised that not everyone is though). Oh well, we're away on Saturday so we'll probably have more chance there.
  17. Don't wanna jinx it but I think Carew might have a hat-trick in him. This guy is good.
  18. An early goal (preferably from Heskey) couldn't be more vital. I fear this will be a make or break game. If we lose or draw, we will come crashing down. If we win, everything's back to normal.
  19. I have a feeling MON's gonna make some big changes tonight. You heard it here first.
  20. The only other people I'd really like to see play are Delph, Fonz and L Young.
  21. I think Fonz needs some more game time (he's certainly better than Heskey) but I don't think Albrighton is as good as people make him out to be on here.
  22. I think Spain will bottle it because there's almost a pressure under them to win because everyone expects them to do it, kind of like us this time last year.
