I doubt it.... but if it is, you will find it (if you have time!) somewhere on this listing...

Bradford had lost 5 straight matches coming into tonight, their last 9 matches had a record of W1 D2 L6, so what do we do, play 1 up front.
Merson, your different class!
Come on Stu, as far as futresobright is concerned "we've never had it so good". Good old Meeeeeeerse.

Managing to keep us up last season despite losing the KEY player - Jimmy Walker. In the past the loss of key players - David Kelly, Colin Taylor, Junior - resulted in relegation.
Building a squad that genuinely excites both fans and scouts. Lets go through them again... Fox, Gerrard, Nicholls, Bennett, Gilmartin, Ishmel, Fryatt, Wright, Taylor, Taylor, Constable...to name just the ones making waves this season.
Succeeding in keeping the team well in touch of the play offs despite horrendous injuries to key players.
Raising Walsall's profile to a degree never before attained.
Replacing the over cautious approach of Graydon and Lee with a commitment to attacking, and occasionally inspirational, play.
Improving team morale so that now instead of losing games in the second half we fight to the end. The Forest performance was surely our greatest day since PM made his debut.
Geoff has been watching for 50 years. For over 40 of those we have been struggling in the bottom two divisions. Forget the myth of a glorious past. Keep the faith in PM. The future is bright.

had the chance to go today and didnt. Im very glad i havent, brother said it was a dosshole (his opinion) and i knew wed do something like this
whats made it worse is a forest fan mate piped up "why do you only play well against us, youre cack"
i feel like punching merson and his frigging lackeys very hard, mmf jokingly said if anyone fancies a pint down the swan one of the days. i do just to tell merson what a shite job hes doing

Dave,
Where did you dig that load of tripe up from? That's got to be the biggest wind up since Ipswich Foreign Fan.
Its gets worse as well, Bristol City are winning again tonight. If memory serves me right, that gives them 10pts out of their last 12 if they win and we go there on the 2nd Jan, what great timing.

After tonight we're going to be closer in terms of points and places to the relegation zone than the play off places.
Merson OUT.
No matter how many times people think we've turned the corner, we haven't. One step forward, one step back. If Fryatt goes along with Leitao, we'll be enjoying trips to Rochdale and Barnet next season, with Bristol City and Tranmere bound to improve and move away from the relegation zone.
While nobody could seriously have expected us to do anything other than lose tonight, it's still massively depressing. "Nine points over Christmas", promised Merson (much like last season). Well, two games down, one point achieved. So only the eight needed from the next two games, then, one of which is at the massively-improved Bristol City.

Christ Dave, on what thread did he write that bl**dy tripe! Even the bit about raising Walsall's profile, which I almost agreed with, was of course down to Colin Lee bringing him here ! And what is he trying to say about the time I've been watching the Saddlers, I just don't get his point. What I can say is that, yes, I've been watching them for almost that long, and I can never remember a single time when we've had a squad of this quality under-achieving their potential as badly as this lot under Merson's pathetic leadership, if that's the right word for it !
Finished 2-0, and Kearns says we've demonstrated our inconsistency away from home. Well actually Mick, NO, you are wrong, we are totally CONsistent away from home, consistently CRAP !!

Although I did'nt expect much this is very disappointing. As has been pointed out elsewhere that line up was totally negative from the off, against a side on a poor run of form and with a manager under pressure.
In desperation he seems to move to 433 with 20 minutes left and we barely create a chance. If fryatt does go, it will be suicide for us.
Crap, UTTER CRAP.
