i couldnt give a **** about the Carling cup or whatever its called but obviously you do. You relied on a referee yet again to help you smash Reading reserves with a cliniical display. You must be licking your lips after that display.

What is bothering me is Avb. He hasnt got a clue. He always tries playing negative when we get a lead and it almost always backfires. Also when Livermore plays we lose, he is pathetic.

Anyone that rates Avb please tell me why? I asked this last week yet not on Avb lover said anything. He is a clown, Levy has made a big big mistake getting in Avb.

I disagree.

We're 4th in the league, and beat Man Utd for the first time in a very long time.

Give AVB time to create HIS squad. Remember he differs so much from Redknapp...and he inherited Redknapps squad and style of play.

And there Spurs guvnor , lies the problem . Avb has inherited a lot of Harrys totally useless crap . Yes in the transfer window , we picked up more crap but were they AVB's choices , dempsey , siggy , ade , I doubt it , more like old tight arses choices ! Yes AVB does get a bit negative when we lead, yes for some reason he persists with Livermore , but give him at least till the new year , then old tight arse wont open his wallet again and we can see how we do with Arry's crap left overs !There is no way Roman would have paid £13 mill to free him from his contract if there wasnt anything there . Patience dear boy , two hard games soon , so lets re assess then .

Davo, you have put your finger right on it.

Harry just left behind a load of rubbish that AVB cannot really use:

Except for Defoe (AVB's 1st choice striker), Sandro (his 1st choice defensive midfield player), Walker (his 1st choice right back), Friedel (his 1st choice goalkeeper), Gallas (his 1st choice right central defender), Kaboul (his 1st choice left central defender, when he is fit) together with Parker (who hasn't played yet), the emerging Naughton (who should be playing at right back to give Walker a kick up the backside) and Falque (who is only just starting to show).

Apart from a couple of young players out on loan to get more experience, every one of Harry's players who is still at the club is an important member of AVB's squad (that is his judgement, not mine). Not one dud amongst them.

AVB's main problem is not the players that Harry left, but the ones he wasn't able to leave. Losing Modric, VDV and King left a gap in class that it is difficult to fill.

Similarly, we have to question who did all the buying in the summer. For example, back in September there was a rumour that AVB was angry at the purchase of Lloris. It was said that he didn't fancy the player, didn't think another goalkeeper was a top priority, and thought the money could be better spent strengthening other areas of the squad. That might just have been newspaper talk, but it does worry me. It is looking like Commoli 'v' Jol and Ramos all over again.

Ffs get off AVB's back. We are in 4th, the same as with Harry last season, after a shaky start we won away at old trafford for the first time in donkey's years so get behind the team and the manager. Also livermore may not be amazing at the moment but the only way he will get better is playing in the premier league, although I would rather he went out on loan to one of the lower premier league teams.

When we go to games, of course we should get right behind the manager and the players (even the ones that are playing badly on the day). But when we are on this web site, just speculating, analysing and discussing things amongst ourselves, then there is no point in not raising honest doubts and concerns. There will always be plenty of other fans ready to disagree with us.

With that in mind, I would point out that the comparison with last season is not as simple as you make it sound. At this stage last year we had 19 points and this year it is 17. However, 13 of these 17 points have come from the bottom 5 clubs in the Premiership.

This year we have played Manchester United (won), Chelsea (lost) and Newcastle (lost). By November last year we had played Manchester United (lost), Manchester City (lost), Liverpool, (won) Arsenal (won) and Newcastle (draw).

And don't even mention the cup games.

We will be in a better position to judge our progress at the half-way stage.

KM You talk a lot of sense, I hadn't thought about the comparisan like that, oh well I just dont like people asking for AVB out when hes hardly had a chance, a little doubt or worry is very different to asking fo the manager's head.

Reading? Aston Villa?

It's not as bad as you're making it out to be. Remember we also have Dembele out, that's five first team players injured and we're still 4th in the premiership. No complaints from me.

Also, Friedel instead of Lloris? They've both been playing, it's called squad rotation. Football is a team game last time I checked.
