If you're going to post regularly on a public forum you should brush up on your understanding of the English language and not make the mistake of
typing should of when you meant should have.

Those grammatical errors are overlooked on RAWK , or maybe they are just too thick to know they are errors

In the interview a couple pages back Marcotti said what we’re paying him isn’t too much more than what Napoli were... think he said something like 20-25%

The only thing I would say is after the next 5 games, we have a nightmare run of 6 of the next 7.

We had a nightmare run of matches in December and how did that go?

That will be a hard run of games, but I fee, we will be in much better shape, we haven’t won in the league at Chelsea or Arsenal since before Moyes came here, so I want is to try and break that, it’s been ridiculous how long it’s been.

Yesterday's match was in some ways diabolical, but we still were in a position to nick a point in the majority of the match. With the players available to him against City, that was probably as much as we could ask for, and for the first time in a long time, I thought it was possible that we could still pull it off even when under the cosh.

I noticed on the tv that at the full time mark when the cameras were on Ancelotti that he seemed to be in internal turmoil; it was more emotion than I saw from Silva (unless dejection counts) and in its own way pleased me as much as Ferguson going crazy. He obviously wants to do well and is frustrated by what he was seeing out there and furiously trying to figure out what to do. His career makes me believe that he has the ability to wring as much from the current squad as anyone else out there, and if it all goes well will gain from the returning-from-injury players as well as re-strengthen in this window. It's very promising. Needs a key signing to come in. Who is the current Andy Gray or Peter Reid?

He's not got an easy job, and even though we lost yesterday, I have a belief in Ancelotti, that I haven't done since Kendall or Royle.

If he’s given the right backing in terms of recruitment he will make us successful. I’ve no doubts about that.

Erm, yes... if you don’t think turning over a 5 point gap with 17 games to go is at least a possibility then what is even the point in football?

Because, Everton.

I just expect United, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea will all improve. They are all far better than they've been showing.

Equally, I expect we'll improve too, but not at the same rate as the aforementioned teams who, although they haven't got their stuff together right now - can call on world class players that we don't have.

If we win 5 from the next 5 against Brighton, Newcastle, West Ham, Watford and Palace, we'll be in a much stronger position and I might just start to believe.

Enough is enough he needs to go

No chance we win all 5. If we got 10 points from that lot it would still be a good springboard to tackle the harder ones.

Be interesting to see how much we dip into the market this month.

 

[Lelouch]

Does anyone truly believe this?

It's possible but it leaves very little room for error, Personally not sure if we can with our midfield being stretched to the max and who knows who we'll buy in Europa but we definitely have a chance at Europa.

 

[brieverton]

I don't think he will have been surprised by yesterday, but maybe a little disappointed by the teams failure to get forward more.

Games like this will begin the process of crystallising in his mind that players that can be improved technically and tactically to make us more competitive against this sort of opposition, and those, perhaps the majority, that can't.

I always think the impact of even a single successful signing that "fits" particularly in the attacking positions, can have a huge impact on the whole team.

He needs to plot carefully and methodically, and I think he will. I think we'll see measured rather than drastic changes between now and the end of the season, and into the next.

 

[jamieni]

We’d need to hit exceptional form to get a Europa League spot now. IMO the most realistic proposition is a mid table finish and try to push for top 6 next season.

Shy is less embarrassing I suppose.
