I think your right Cooper was ugly as was his football but he had as scoring without any heavy defeats and arguably had better knowledge and experience than RVN. I didn’t like Cooper much but don’t rate RVN in the slightest.

It was Gary Lineker

but the truth is it won’t

It turned out to be a good choice but was equally risky so we got lucky and had the best side in that division. whilst he’s doing well at Chelsea I would not be surprised if this tails off second half of the season.

grammar ?

I’m no expert other than a loyal fan for 50 years but I can’t see any light at end of tunnel…. Losing to Wolves was catastrophic and the early goal against Liverpool showed promise but a draw was needed against a piss poor Man City and although there were signs of improvement we lost 2-0 despite their appaling form. RVN has no track record in the Premiership or with teams in a relegation battle and is an unproven novice akin to your Rooney or Lampard failures. i think Cooper would have won this game and probably have managed the 4 pts we got against West Ham and Brighton. So the jury is still out on RVN and whether he is an improvement on Cooper and what signings he may be allowed to improve the squad. A win against Villa would be massive for survival and confidence and keep us in touch and to achieve this we would need to go out gun ho and outscore the goals we concede which is enevitable in the manner of a Keegan manager. A draw would still be a very good result to stop the rot but I still feel we are doomed and results will be hard to come by. It’s just so depressing after winning the league to find us in such dire straits and without any hope or direction from the people in power. Happy New Year

I’m on my second bottle of French red and it’s numbing a lot of football pain

Both

excellent post

It’s possible we sneak an early freak goal in the first 5 minutes and then we just park the bus and defend for our lives and hope that Liverpool have a really off day which can happen on these Boxing Day fixtures after spending the day with the family and in-laws. Or we get truly batterred and it’s 7-0 scorline. As for RVN……I’m not remotely impressed with him or his ability to manage at this level and think Pearson would do a better job so bring back Nige I say ?

so allow him to bring some players in and still be a clueless novice manager. Need to get rid of him asap

Your talking garbage RVN is clueless and no where near Prem manager standard. He’s got no experience and only got the job due to the halfwits running this club. We’re getting relegated and doubt we’ll win another game this season.

exactly how others can’t think the same is beyond me

we love you Steve all is forgiven

He won’t succeed He’ll be a failure as a manager thats obvious after 4 games

Why anyone thought RVN was the right appointment is beyond me. He’s a novice and done nothing in management to support his appointment. He’s on par with Rooney or Lampard who you wouldn’t touch with a barge pole. I predicted in an earlier post we could get thumped 0-3 and its happened. It’s a disaster and that son of Vishai should sell up and sod off. He’s got no interest in our club so get ready for some more thrashings and I can’t even see where we will win a game from now on. Lose the next 3-4 games by these margins and RVN should be dismissed. We would never have lost by these margins with Cooper and although he was criticised he kept us in games and had as scoring. I’m well and truly hacked off and it’s depressing to see what lies ahead.

I predicted we would lose 3-0 in this game so if you think that’s trolling then keep your head in the sand son. Cooper talked complete gibberage and was out of his league as is RVN who has no experience or track record. You keep dreaming but I’m astute enough to predict our downfall. The appt after Cooper was critical and the board have messed up big time

Yes it is

Ha ha ha that’s it

It makes Newcastle drubbing not so bad in light of today but tmrw is the real test of how we react and can we play as a threat

So what if we get beat like 0-3 and play like the Newcastle game? Yes this is massive but also for RVN and how the team play. i would expect us to go all out guns blazing and look to score more goals than we concede. i don’t see RVN has great tactical nous but hope I’m proved wrong and see him being like Keegan style management and would take that anyday. i think Sunday I’ll be the most nervous for some time as a win would be crucial and losing will damage confidence and I’ll think we’re just deteriorate further. I would take a draw if I saw some pattern and structure but this is the big test as it will tell us a lot.

more than massive

Wolves will click and climb the table I don’t see RVN has the ability or experience to save us. If we lose this match it’s game over in my view. I hope I’m wrong but I am very nervous about this game.

and will beat us with ease I think

What about Mark Wallington
