The thing is, if we've put RDM in charge until the end of the season that would imply the manager we are going after is currently with another club so we have to wait. That makes me think its either Pep (yeah right) or Jose. Who else is there?!

Pathetic. Support the club, but not the decisions being made by them lately. The people in control of this club make it harder and harder to get behind them when you constantly change the face of the club. I'm also completely unimpressed by Lampard (especially) and Cole's attitude to him and have somewhat tarnished their reputations with me at least. If Jose returns, which I'm not a fan of.. it comes off as a bit desperate and we need to move on from him, he needs to sort this out. We cannot have such powerful cliques inside the club.

Kalou should have gone years ago, but this season (and some of last) Malouda has become my most despised player.. I find his lack of effort repulsive lately. AVB said something very similar to what I think the other day about how he wants players here who WANT to play for the club as opposed to just come for money. I believe we have a few of those in Luiz and Ramires but we have too many hangers on at this club, not including just the players.

Yeah thats exactly the kind of move that would make sense. Each of those clubs were on the fringes of success until he came and cemented them as Champions (in various competitions). Sounds exactly like what he could do at Spurs.

Yeah, same. And it will totally break my heart. Oh Jose, if you loved us as much as you say Tottenham wouldn't be a consideration!

I'd never heard of him before actually, but nearly every journo retweeted it so I figured he must be close with the club. Perhaps not.

What do people make of the rumour that AVB has been told he *WILL* be sacked if we lose to Napoli? Seems to be doing the rounds with a few journos on twitter.

Yeah Townsend, although I've come to dislike Guillet as he constantly talk about us in a bad light over the last few years.

Should've been 4... my god, they are SO much better upfront than us. Incredible. We have nothing of their quality uptop.

He *IS* going to be sacked.. he really is. :/

Lol.. this is becoming an Arsenal embarrassment.

You do have to ask why we're making these kind of errors............

lol 2-1... scoring fooled us all into believing for a moment we may win this.

Thing is I wouldn't mind TOO much if it weren't for Malouda starting.. this man *consistently* has me screaming at the TV.

I want to like this manager so much, and I like how he handles himself, questions about him and his general attitude. His selection choices baffle me though and I cannot understand them what so ever.

Not seen all of todays events but out of all the senior players it seems to be that Drogba is actually behind AVB, is it just me getting that feeling? I don't think theres any doubt that Lamps isn't keen on him but Drogba has been pretty vocal in his support which I am surprised about tbh given that previously if he didn't like a manager you could blatantly tell.

Ahh yes that old argument..the season we won the league by 1 point over a poor United team while Arsenal, Spurs and ManCity had exceptionally lacklustre campaigns. Stats say youre right, my eyes from watching them at the Bridge tells me we were unconvincing and won the league due to poor surrounding teams and that trend has continued, except we're now found out because the others have strengthened. Stats paper over the cracks.

What do people think the idea that the people around him are less than capable? Personally, I don't think it's a coincidence that we've been going downhill since Steve Clarke left. BTW, if Wenger were sacked.. would we take him? Curious.

WOW. Post-match AVB just said hes got unconditional support from Roman, its not based on short term success. Never have I hoped that was the case so much.

I literally could not stand Capello at this club.

HAHAHAHA! Sturridge just said post-match they played GREAT football!? What in the f**k.

Just hope the people in charge at the club realise it was Birminghams fans and not ours!!

Do we really need Mikel in this game? Surely not!?

I think its really quite bad taste to sing Mourinho's name like that, sure its partly his fault but he's not the one out there making the bad choice of passes, wrong weight of passes, poor runs, bad decision making. The thing on our side is that perhaps, just perhaps, there is no-one else out there available. I'd got more faith in Roman than to appoint Capello or Benitez and other than those two I can't think of a single name who COULD come in should he get sacked tomorrow. Reckon it might happen though unless we come back and win this one.
