Daniel - we need a new banner picture

That picture is really depressing, maybe something a tad more positive and uplifting? Yazz, perhaps?

who is it on the far right? Roberto Carlos??

Its Christian Gross.

Given Daniel's thoughts on Snr Ramos, I assume he's drawing a parallel between them.

Yes thanks for clarification

Oh yes! YAZZ is in the house! The only way is up, baby, for you and me now! All together now:

THE ONLY WAY IS UP, BABY, FOR YOU AND ME NOW!!!!!

its Yazz and Gross representing hope or disaster. Which way will it go?

Oh dear. I guess we should wait till the mnew man is in the hot seat, but that didn't bode well did it? We have that horrible panicky feel attached to every team that finds itself in the relegation zone and concedes a goal - the confidence ebbs instantly away and they expect to concede another. And normally do.

Ramos has to get hold of the jangly nerves in that changing room immediately or we could find ourselves in some serious shit going in to the second half of the season.

We're in the serious zhit already. We need to extract ourselves from the serious zhit in the next 8 games, otherwise we'll definitely go down. If we're still bottom 6 by 1st January it's adios Juande, adios Premier League.

GDG hit the nail on the head there.

I was thinking about watching sides like Utd or the Scum when they concede. They almost ignore it. They play every game with the belief that they can win regardless of the opposition or current scoreline.

We were so-so against Blackburn but if we had continued the way we played from about 15th minute til we conceded for the rest of the game, we may have regained the lead and certainly wouldnt have lost.

If Ramos can instill that mentality we will be fine. If not, relegation battle.
