Never heard that one before. Doesn't mean it's wrong obviously...

Banging an old drum here like but we were fucking dreadful. We gave them a goal start, played some of the worst stuff I've seen from us or donkeys and still didn't get beaten. We just didn't look up for it at all and never deserved to win it. The unbeaten run continues and we're still 10 clear of 3rd after half the season. Can't see Forest, or anyone else for that matter, getting 10 more points than us in the remaining 23 games but we'll see. Overall - played shite, could have lost but didn't.

I haven't spoiled any and only corrupted 1 for a couple of minutes before changing it back. Vandals anonomous. It'll have been Geremi himself man, the lying old fucker.

True. But I'd wonder who would be out of the door to finance the deal. My money would be on Coloccini. Coloccini is pretty much regarded as over-priced by most on here anyway. He won't be sold this season and personally I would prefer if he stayed next season as well because he's better than people give credit for IMO. Quite agree. He's one of the big reasons we're 10 points clear and I'd like him to stay. Just can't see Ashley sticking his hand in his pocket and funding transfers. He could well sell someone like Carroll to fund them but we've spent nowt (net) in the transfer market for donkeys and I can't see him starting now. If Killa's coming in, someone's leaving to pay for him. If we get promoted I'm hoping that Premier funds and the fact we've been run on a tight budget will mean we won't need to sell players next season. I can't see Ashley investing big money in quality players but I think there'll be some money spent, and there shouldn't be any need to sell either. I hope you're right but I don't trust Ashley or Llambias enough to make the right decisions about who comes and who goes. If another club puts a big bid in for any of our players I don't trust them to say 'no'. I think he'd sell anyone if the money was waved in front of him.

Don't believe a single thing he says. He's a proven liar.

No, it just means whoever made the rules is f***ing stupid. Righto. Rules are clearly stupid in sport. Lets do away with free kicks then. Nah, football is good. I'll put you down for my petition to the RFU for implementing a no hands and forward passing rule then shall I? Reckon I'll tell the Lawn tennis association to put one of them nets they have at either end and ditch the rackets whilst i'm at it. Hark at the rugger-buggers getting all sanctimonious about their backward rules...

Do you think your argument might hold more water if you upgraded the fee slightly? I know he's out of contract in the summer but this isn't 1970. He's out of contract in June and he's basically been sent out on loan to put him in the shop window. Man U clearly don't want him and will take whatever they are offered. Why steam in with a million quid if just a fraction of that will get him? They'd get more than that for him if they let him leave in the summer from a tribunal. Hadn't considered the tribunal tbph. Maybe £250k wouldn't be enough...

Why steam in with a million quid if just a fraction of that will get him? If he's in the shop window I somehow don't see 250k securing his services. If he wants to come here they'll take it and get him off their wage bill asap. Also, can't see Ashley digging much deeper than 250k for a player he could get for nowt in 5/6 months time.

Sign him now for about £250k. But if we go up I'd like us to get a better RB and use Simpson as back-up though. He's decent enough at this level but I think he'd struggle against better wingers who would have a right go at him for 90 mins.

Us, WBA and Forest.

I don't rate him particularly highly but there's some absolute drivel in here over the last day or so. He's done virtually all that's been asked of him and his saves have won us quite a few points so far this season - he's not been perfect but he's played very well. It's indisputable.

Just keep doing it til the taker misses Spotted a flaw...

Aye, the guy next to me got in about 1.20pm because of it. Now there's a surprise! He's never normally early like is he. Normally fucking bladdered too.

Be interesting to see what kind of meltdown happens if they don't qualify for the Champions League this year. Gerrard -> Chelsea Torres -> Citeh Chelsea don't really need another midfielder like Gerrard. Both to Citeh i reckon or out of the Country. Ballack will go soon I reckon. Citeh will buy Torres so no-one else can.

I suppose the problem with sacking him now is whether a replacement will do much better? The team itself is the problem, not enough quality, maybe no manager could do a lot better. If they appoint somebody else and don't qualify, they are doubley done.. It's his team though, and if you're saying that's the problem then that goes back to Benitez. Bingo.

Bad tackle and deserved the straight red. Credit to the ref for not bottling it and being persuaded to give it only a yellow by Gerrard and the other cunts.

Pick that twat out.

Ah, right. Obviously people who don't share the same point of view are dense. Nice one. Well argued.

In what way?

And it's absolutely ludicrous. It is. The Premier League are meddling in affairs that should frankly have nothing to do with them. The only people McCarthy should have to answer to, if any, are the fans. Do they only support the club if all of the top players are taking part? I empathise with the fans from a personal point of view: spending that money and time to go there to be given a line-up that smells of "we're not going to win this, why bother?". My point is that McCarthy is well within his rights to give that line-up: his aim is to stay up, and that means considering the long-term, i.e. a 38-game season. Ultimately, fans should support the club, not just the starting XI, yes. I was in complete agreement with you. Fans should support the club, regardless of who starts the game. I'd like to think they could see where McCarthy was coming from and understand his logic.
