Interesting to see that we've already played 7 of the 9 other teams that make up the top 10 of this league and we're still top.

If he wants to come here for the right reasons and he's wanting a reasonable wage then I can't see the problem. We've been slightly unfortunate in as much as we've lost both first-choice CB's at the same time and the results have suffered badly. I also think Kiz would look better alongside Taylor or Coloccini rather than Simpson too. Add Campbell into that lot and we've got decent cover and a bit of experience. Get a couple of wingers in and Ameobi back and we're suddenly looking like a decent team again.

Interesting to see the ratio of winning to losing bets from this thread. Reading back there's a lot of unhappy posts with bets going down. Reminds me why I never bet tbh.

Stan Collymore's a fucking idiot. That is all.

That's why they're having the trial.

He gambled on us staying up without spending anything last year and lost. He's now gambling on us going straight back up without spending anything this year. He's a fucking prick.

Can't see the point in the boycott. He knows how hated he is and doesn't give a shit. Boycott away if you want to but nothing positive will come of it. Better off supporting the team imo but it takes all sorts I suppose.

I've stopped looking for any sort of logic in his decisions now.

I'd be willing to bet that this £20m he's putting in is purely to cover wages til May. He's not 'investing' the cash, he's just keeping us ticking over in the hope we can continue to spawn our way to promotion. Also, if he were to get a decent bid for the club in the next few months he'd sell us in a heartbeat. Officially we're off the market but if someone waves £80m in front of him he'd snap their hands off.

The Mike Ashley (because I can) Arena

This can only end in even more tears.

Must admit, at the time I thought he just put his arm around his shoulders to guide him away. Seeing it again it's pretty obvious that he deserved to go and I can't understand exactly what Hughton saw in the replay. To appeal after seeing it again a few times was just mental stuff.

Other than the single tier end they've basically nicked the Emirates design for the rest of the stadium. Not content with just living in Arsenal's shadow, they now want to live in the exact same shaped shadow.

Ironic that the first club to lose few players to swine flu is also the club managed by a useless fat pig.

Given the choice of Strachan or Hughton to manage us, I'd choose Strachan every single time. He's not some kind of miracle worker but he can send a team out with a game plan and has an idea of how to achieve it. Hughton seems a canny bloke but is painfully out of his depth.

Remind me of those key words again Midds Fair play, he got hold of him by the neck which was stupid. Thats what i love about my ST seat being on half way line, you get to see everything Was in the Leazes and couldn't see him reach behind and grab him. Thought it was harsh at the time but he shouldn't have raised his hands at all. Stupid fucker.

I thought it was a shocking decision personally. But if we're relying on that c*** in green changing his mind then we may as well not bother. Thought the ref was atrocious all day and I'm sure he had this down as an away win on his coupon. Zurab grabbed him by the throat so will be a 3 match ban for Violent Conduct That's not what I saw like. Thats what i saw and i was there too Well done. We shall see when the FL highlights come on 'grabbed' and 'throat' are your key words, remember. are you going to debate the difference between 'neck' and 'throat' ? Nope. Didn't see him grab him by the throat but he was stupid to grab hold of him at all. Hands up, he deserved to go.

Went straight through the player. Winning the ball or not, that's a foul.

I admire your optimism and can see where you're coming from but the big picture isn't very pretty at all. We're top and that'll paper over the cracks for the time being but this club is in the shit. We're a million miles from having a premiership standard squad and if we do fluke promotion this year we'll still need a dozen new players to even compete the following year.

The fact we're top of this division says far more about the overall standard of the league than us. We were awful. Utterly appalling. The fact Doncaster Rovers were less shite than us today is irrelevant. The fact we're top is irrelevant. The number of things wrong at this club is just insane. I don't even know where to start. Any Premiership reserve team would wipe the floor with us. The whole club needs to be ripped apart, from the very top to the very bottom. Starting with the owner. It's a shambles and an embarrassment that we're top of this league. We're dreadful. Never been this down after seeing us win.
