    I don't remember us ever playing them in an evening game. The game in the pissing rain under Gullit? Duh, of course. Can't imagine it ever happening now given the big fuss the police make about the kick off time. Might change now after all the stuff with the police over the last derby and the club saying they will ignore the police from now on. Nee chance. I think it is possible. Joint statement said:

Seems to be more leniency in other areas, e.g Liverpool and Manchester derbies both midweek this season.

  4. I'm sure Paul Merson suggested it was a shot. Well he must be fucking blind.
  5. Who the fuck is Aarons? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolando_Aarons
  6. There will be seats galore available for this one mate. Only single seats left in posh seats on .cock Mate from work wants to go with his wife.
  7. Stockdale? Hardly talking about a classy keeper coming into nets here. The kid's always going to be 'untested' if you don't test him. He's 21ish and although that's stil relativley young for a keeper, still no harm in giving him a few games. What's the worst that can happen? Rather see some young blood given a chance if others aren't performing. Krul shouldn't be an exception. Not like Stockdale was a great back up for Magath yesterday but he had the balls to drop him, someone the dutch rate better than Krul as well. Stockdale has played over 200 games as a professional footballer, not comparable at all. I'd say just stick Eliott in but he's a fat mess of a GK who i'd rather not played for us again. I've been really impressed with Alnwick, think he's got a canny future, Krul has been awful of late so i see no harm in giving him a chance. Especially when people are crying for Armstrong to play who has the same level of experience as Alnwick. It's only because it's Tim Krul people don't want him dropped, we could have a solid backup waiting in the wings but people can’t accept criticism towards Krul. I absolutely love the lad to bits but just really think he would benefit from the break, he’s clearly struggling at the moment and it’s not nice to see. No it isn't, the reason people don't want him to be dropped is because we do not have an adequate replacement in the squad. Comparing the Alnwick to Armstrong situation is silly, giving a young striker 5 or 10 minutes here or there off the bench is not comparable with throwing in a young keeper with no experience, no matter how good he has looked in the stiffs, into the pressure of playing in net in the Premier League. This issue here is that we don't have adequate back up and as a result there is no pressure on Krul's place in the side, even when performing badly.

    Papiss Cissé

    Club have been trying to offload him for a while now but he wants to stay in the Premier League and refuses to take a pay cut. He's had opportunities to go.
  10. Ben Foster plays for West Brom. Fraser Forster plays for Celtic. Ben Forster is some actor that won a reality TV show.
  11. Dropped for Alnwick? f*** no. Need to up his game though. Why not? Alnwick been performing well this season in reserves whilst Krul has struggled most the season. Can't just keep saying 'hope he improves', been saying that majority of the season, so something else needs to be tried. Man City have done it with Hart and i think he's looked a better keeper for it. Alnwick is nowhere near ready to play Premier League football.
  12. Dropped for Alnwick? Fuck no. Needs to up his game though.
