Things to cheer us up

[Big Martin Jol]

• We had more shots/shots on target than Man Utd today.
• Whatever happens tomorrow we're not in the bottom three.
• Kasami, what a player.
• Hangeland might be back for next week, leaving us Senderos-less.
• We're ahead of Mark Hughes' Stoke.
• We're not Norwich.
• We still get to play Norwich twice this season.
• We're averaging a point a match. Thirty eight points might keep us up?

That's all I can think of, feel free to contribute. Don't be a stuck record.

• Jol will be gone in the morning.

That would be an example of being a stuck record.

I think we were unlucky today- some controversial United goals, along with more dire defending-

and a good penalty shout and some good chances that might have gone in in on another day in the second half, in which we were the far better team - and in which the team showed a very good attitude.

At 1-0 when Berba was slotted through we could of changed the whole game... Instead we let them run down the pitch under zero pressure and walk it in.

Hangeland and Amrborieta cannot play together as they are both left sided centre backs. Odds are Senderos will partner one of them

[The Rock]

Their second goal was VERY clearly offside. Clearest one I've seen in years. I was watching it, but even without the replay RVP's arm to his shoulder was about a foot offside, as well as his boot and ankle upon replay.

Do arms and legs not count for offsides? I thought it was any body part, but I must be wrong.

any part of the body that can legally play the ball, so arms don't count

things to cheer me up is surely even jol must see now that we cannot play with a combo of sidwell and parker in the middle

and we were three on two against their defence and berba turned the wrong way instead of getting the ball into the danger area quickly, like they do.....   berba has been poor this season he needs to be rested for a couple of months

[Bassey the warrior]

I don't see why Hangeland returning is a positive, he's been woeful, worse than Senderos.

Don't get your hopes up.

Any body part you can legitimately score with, so not arms but definitely legs. Not seen the goal yet.

If we want to be serious about avoiding relegation we can never play Senderos again.  How many chances to we need to give him?  So hopelessly out of his depth.  Ruiz needs a rest.  We need to see more of Taarabt.
