The strategy from Mr Fraud is to lower our expectations so that any achievements he gets crowns him with the messiah title. After all he was hired on the basis of ignoring his previous Premiership record and solely on his FA Cup win. I hope all those accusing those of us that dare to criticise with negativity, come back on this board when we finish lower than last season and explain why and how that happened.

Duncansmum, so if we finish 1 place above last season you will be singing RM's praises. We all have our opinion of RM and have every right to put that opinion on the forum. What I find irritating about the negativity is that some of the comments made are not based on fact and some are mere speculation, made depending on how people feel at the time. I just don't see the point dwelling on the negatives but if it floats your boat then go for it. If we do finish lower than last season I will happily post on this board how unhappy I am. I just don't think that will happen I can see us going on a good run and possible finishing 5th. COYB.

I agree sa90 with all bar us finishing 5th. Be delighted if we do. But can't see it happening.

Just out of curiosity DM am I one of those who give out when someone 'dares to criticise Martinez'. I'd doubt I am because I've criticized him plenty. It's just I'm willing to give him a proper chance.

I was slightly on the anti Martinez side when he was appointed. Wasn't happy at all because he got relegated with his last team. We were after spending 11 years with a manager who took us safely away from them horror days and I thought it was a gamble to bring in someone who had a record of doing the worst thing, for me, getting relegated.

Since then I've heard people praise Martinez for his first season. Imo at the time it wasn't really his squad. Second season was a write off. I said at the end of this season. Martinez's third that we'd all be in a better position to know where we stand.

I've seen and heard the same people who praised Martinez in his season now calling for his head. As sa90 says people post more about how they are at the time of posting rather than what is fact. Speculate alot.

I'm not pro Martinez but I am pro being 100% sure not to sack a manager unless you are sure he is not the man to take the club forward. At the moment I can't say I'm 100% sure Martinez is not the one.

I think he's not but I'm not certain. I know there are plenty who are certain he's not the one. These same people would never consider if they are wrong.

I think spudv is the only one gets what I've been saying about this over the last couple of days. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I'd be delighted if Martinez finish's the season strong. Bluupaul you mentioned something about us finishing 5th and not winning the FA cup.

It's possible that we can finish and win the FA cup. Personally I can't see it happening but that doesn't mean its not possible.

First things first I think we have a very good chance of beating Bournemouth. I'd be surprised if we don't. After that I don't know. If we finished in top 7 and got to FA cup final. It definitely would not be a disaster of a year.

To be fair sa90, there have been a few posts having a go at people being negative with regards to the manager so I think Duncs reply was aimed at them. We are all entitled to our opinions on our club, some of us just don't buy into the bs that RM spouts. I respect your opinion as much as everyone else on here mate but I think you are being a bit too optimistic with your 5th place prediction. Like Dunc, I think we will be lucky to finish in the top half but I will be more than happy to be proven wrong. Either way, I still want a change of manager next season as I don't believe he can ever improve on his first season. Last season was abysmal and this one, for me, hasn't been too good either. I'm sick to death of interviews where he states how unlucky we have been. We shouldn't be leaving anything to chance come match day, pity the manager doesn't see it that way.

If Martinez stops being so stubborn and arrogant, stops speaking bullsh*t in interviews and refusing to take any blame, starts practicing corners and hires a good defensive coach, then I would maybe be happy to keep him on another season. He's showing no signs of doing any of those things though so think he should go. If we win the cup and finish top 8, or finish top 6 without the cup then who knows.

Opinion is it? Or am I missing something. Try spell check Bluupaul. I don't know where I'd be without it.

Who cares really. We all know what you mean. An odd misspelled word happens to us all.

it was supposed to be a joke nbtb [the miss spelt opinion] as you can see I spelt opinions correctly I was just getting back at the perfect pod who must be jumping for joy that he can spell and likes nothing better than to tell people when they have miss spelt a word which happens every day on this site his mummy and daddy must be really proud of him who needs predictive text when we have pod.

Take it easy Bluupaul. I know sometimes its very easy to take things a bit personal on this site. But I don't think Pod meant it in a real personal way.

We're all on the one side on this site. I don't like to see people slagging each other off and getting personal. Rather the light hearted stuff.

Really enjoy this site. Its addictive. Well run and good banter the majority of the time.

I don't care about your spelling. Your education level is of no interest to me. I do care that you text shout all the time because I see it as being ignorant and rude. If you stop shouting I would be interested in your opinion.

Ps. My Mummy and Daddy are very proud of me.

All proper blues are entitled to their opinions, whatever they are. Going on about one opinion over and over is bound to get a response. Arguing about spelling though is irrelevant, we've got more important issues than spelling.

{Ed007's Note - We don't usually publish posts about spelling or grammaf but the intentional (?) misspelling of OPINION was a quality comeback. We'll draw a line under it now though before it gets out of hand.}
