Minus 6 is about right.

I'm confused :confused:

I think I've managed to translate your first sentence.

As this is in the Shrimpers Chat bit, I presume you want us to rate Southend, although your ratings would appear to be for a different club.

Home support 5 - I'd probably say 6, as we are probably play-off contenders in the attendance table, but the crowd are so quick to get on the backs minus 5 is probably a fair score.
Away support 9 - seems fair enough.
Finances - 6 I think you've missed a few noughts off. Probably more like minus £6million
Training facilities - I'll bow to your superior knowledge of our training facilities and everyone else's. I wouldn't have a scooby about this.

Stadium 4 bit mean here, it needs redeveloping but has character, is a half decent size and isn't in an industrial estate miles away from everything. I'd say 6
Manager 7 easily the best manager on paper in the division. Obviously we know his faults more than most, but has one of the best CVs in the game. 9 and would be 10 if he could sort out his defence
Squad 6 plenty big enough in numbers if not in height. Probably a 7 for our division
Defence -6 Bit generous, I'd say minus 8. Or on a scale of 0 to 10, probably about 4. Its crap.
Attack -6 Rather harsh to say the 4th best attack is as bad as the 4th worse defence. 8 out of 10. Why no midfield?
Ambition -10? Maybe this refers to our fans' ambitions, when most of our fans expect us win the champions league, FA Cup and league.

Away support .. well if you've got 9, we'll have to have 10. Or alternatively you can be realistic and have a 7, and we'll have 8.

Hey, well that's probably the first time we've had the rub of the green all season to be honest. Hey was unequivocally awful, though - should probably have been two penalties (one each, and not including the one he actually gave), two sendings off and an extra booking (for Clarke). But I've promised not to talk about the game. So I won't :D

Marking away support when assessing the merits of the other team is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen on this board and you don't need me to point out that doing that is really going some!

Other than when Thornton conned the ref in the first game of the season of course...

Does this not relate to "How good is OUR away support?" though? :confused:

In a word, yes.

:o

Not sure whose crazy suggestion is top of the pile now. I'm tempted to say the idea of Akinfenwa.
