It's a bit worrying how big the gap is becoming between the championship and the premiership. I really don't see that much quality there.

Bristol City in the Premiership would be interesting though.

I think Bentley is class, if he doesn't get in the England squad its ridiculous.

Bentley is certain to be in the squad and a good bet to actually be in the starting line up.

Naldo.

Carrick?? Worth a try. Lucho Gonzalez would also be class.

Huntelaar.

Can't imagine Carrick is all that happy right now.

Probably doesn't want to sink into a depression by playing for us.

Bit of a sobering experience for him by the sounds of it, could do him good. It will show him how a promising career can quickly go down the drain if your not disciplined and make the wrong choices.

WTF is going on? They have made automatic substitutions as if tomorrow games don't exist.

Most people would have done well this week.

David James should probably give it up. He has had his chance and will be virtually 40 by 2010 World Cup.

SOCCER badboy Joey Barton is shamed again after being filmed burying his face in a busty brunette’s BOOBS.

BOOBS!!!!!

They really are utterly pathetic.

Just on MOTD2 saying that the punishment for encroaching on a penalty isn't a re-take but to give the opposition a free-kick! No one wonder no one gives it!

 

its one of those things thats highly irritating yet never given, along with foul throws, which just dont seem to matter anymore, i reckon a player could haul it in over arm nowadays and they wouldnt pull them on it

They've also slackened off on the "goalkeepers moving off their line when a penalty is taken" rule too imo

That's because every goalkeeper has to go forward before he dives, it was a crazy rule. You should be allowed one step forward.

Always thought he sounded like a wrestler, anyway I agree with a lot of what he says. It's so infuriating when the media claim we are so inpatient and demanding, we don't expect the world.

Enrique?

 

Hasn't featured much in the slightest...

Does he even speak English?

A heart test isn't going to prevent a seizure ffs.

 

RIP, tragic news.

 

No one knew it was a seizure, back then, ffs.

 

At 10pm? I did like.

I knew by 6.30

Looks like they got a 10 year old to film the West Ham game.

Shearer!

Your wish is his command!

Round 1 (26 Dec)

Old Christchurch  67 -  68  Kamz

s***!

Incredible that this sort of thing can happen.

He did look somewhat dilutional in the BBC interview about his past though.

As for errors, look at the number of times David James gave the ball away from his kicking yesterday, part of the reason why Portsmouth never really got going.

The Prem Fantasy League only has Petrov down for 1 assist.

I'd still keep him until the end of the season. (provided there isn't a threat of relegation). He isn't going to realistically go until Jan/Feb time anyway and then it is about as useful as sacking a manager as it is in September.

The season is likely going to be a right off, so I'd give him the next 5 months to prove he is at least competent and if nothing changes then he can go. Nobody can really complain then that he didn't get long enough.

Jaaskelainen is hugely prone to making serious cock-ups and does so on a number of occasions. Given rarely, (today almost accepted) does. I Still think he could have done better on the goal though, he would have saved it had he not taken a step to the left first.

At the moment all Shay is going is picking the ball out of the net and making the odd simple save, so he isn't really getting the chance to impress like he has done in the past.

Given - 11 games, 45 shots on target, 19 goals conceded.

Harper - 8 games, 40 shots on target, 10 goals conceded.

 

Currently conceding at a rate of more than 2 goals for every 5 shots on target.

Well that's really useful, shots that fly in the top corner and shots that come straight at them are counted exactly the same.

Wow, how s*** is Darren Moore?

Most clumsy defender I've ever seen.

ah nuts, took Laursen out of my fantasy team today.

f*** me

 

They could win the title in 2 years if they wanted! Scary

Nah, really don't see the potential in QPR. Strange move.

Chelsea and Fulham are next door, and their fanbase is limited.  While there is no scope for development of Loftus Road.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, getting quality players to QPR is going to be virtually impossible.
