that scoreline v Man U was disappointing but i thought we were reasonable for the first 82 minutes
 
shame the ref missed the elbow in the box and the lino missed that Nani was offside before their corner in 6th min
 
plusses - mendy when he came on and some decent work by Hunt, fagan, ghilas, Mendy in the 15-20 mins before rooney got his second
 
i've felt worse after losses
 
CMON lads!! everything on the table v Wolves (Mendy must be worth the chance of a start)

Got to disagree with you on Mendy mate.
Bernard feels that it is his God-given right to show the crowd what he can do rather than get the ball to a team-mate with a deft first touch (which he is capable off). If you watch the replay just notice how every time he gets the ball he has to take it to an opponent and try to beat him - whilst other players are running into positions.
He's not a team player in my book.
Also disappointed with Phil Browns substitutions and tactics. We went on to the pitch with no intention of trying to score using a 4-5-0 tactic and when Man U were leaving themselves open at the back with their constant pressure we swap three midfielders and leave our only recognized striker on the bench.
Odd!

a bit more attacking but not really paid off 4-4-2 with altidore and JVoH up top
 and Cairney given a run
 
not sure that a home point v wolves is survival form
 
Jimmy, wherefore art thou Jimmy?

caught the last 10 mins at the Bencher - ubergunner and i quite satisified with the outcome
 
just watchedd the recording - certainly worth a point
 
a great boost and a nudge closer to survival
 
Cairney is one to watch and Altidore is proving more influential these days (not sure about his confidence when he gets a scoring chance though)
 
Zaki looked keen and Hunt ran his bollocks off and show some nice touches (relieved we've hung on to him)

oh for mid-table obscurity!!
 
just listening to a PB interview and realised that for every one of the last 7 seasons (let's include ths one) we've either been promoted or in a relegation fight
 
but if mid table were offered in the champioship I'd take another relegation battle in the prem next season

superb winner of the Boat's screamer and good to see altidore score his 1st league goal
 
Muokolo and Gardiner working well together and Cairney rarely wastes a pass
 
crdeit also to Hunt - he's a maniac and no slouch with the ball at his feet

ok - recovered from disappointment at Blackburn - Nix have helped ease the pain
 
Boat's card must have been dodgy!  no suspension so he's available for west ham match

Hunt had an off day, Altidore looked better than Zaki when he came on
 
Gardner's injury is a worry
 
Bullard should be back v Everton so a glimmer of  hope there!

One hell of a start for us. For some reason my recording skipped the first 1minute 15 sec, but before we scored in 2min.11sec I had seen three shots at goal.

As important for you as it was for us. As the commentators said, we have some reasonable games at home to come but all the top teams away starting with Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal in the next 10 days.

Chuckled at the "That's why you're going down" chant at the end, but I'm sure the fans would have only just finished looking at the league table and seen we were only one point off the bottom three before today.
A bit like YF singing "your sh*t and you know you are" to Sydney and Melbourne.

If ever a team was over reliant on one player it is sadly City this season. Our form seems to coincide far to much with Jimmy being fit. And in turn that is sadly not very often

Lol, I'm stoked and gutted both at the same time. I can't see Hull surviving now but can see Everton pushing very hard for Europe next season.

You had one of the more generous offside decisions go your way that led to the penalty (your one shot on target all game mind). I don't think you can really complain about decisions going against you.

poor reffing was good for Hull
in fact it is what kept them in the game
Boateng could of got a straight red
the left back (Dawson?) put in a real Barry Crocker on Deni
and it was never a penalty but was well offside.

it's not all doom and gloom for Hull though, chin up and all that. Survival is still possible, and it's arguable Portsmouth and Burnley are gone.

Most of our supporters have a "persecution complex" when it comes to referee's and their decisions. The penalty (which wasn't) was OK to be given but everything else was wrong. Sol Campbell's tackle was heavy but legal - he got the ball first!
We dropped the proverbial b*ll*ck when Boaz parried the ball instead of holding it and Bendtner was on hand to grab three points for the Gunners.
We have no complaints but find ourselves 3 points adrift of Wolves and we have to finish 1 point above them to survive.
Hard ask!

Now that Brown's gone I can try and like Hull again.  He was a right numpty.  After his weird singing gig at the end of season survival he shoulda been given 10 games max to sort out the squad.  Sacked in early Dec at the latest and Hull coulda been in with a shout to survive.  Highly unlikely survival now.

We have to pay Bolton a million pounds as he too is on "Gardening Leave" which means he is still being paid by Bolton which we would have to take over.
I cannot see us affording that amount of money.
O'Leary has come into the equation but Dowie looks pretty hot at the moment.
Steve Coppell an outside chance.
 
Hughes could take the job for 9 games but i doubt it.
Shearer was put into the same boat with Newcastle last season and I don't think he'd want to do it again with us.
 
Phil Brown has a new business up and running by the way:

Good luck with the rest of the season.  Shearer had a hospital pass with the toon last season.
 
It's not a nice way to end the season, but your governance can't be as inept as the Toon's ...surely?
