midds

It would be funny if the Ramos deal falls through and they end up with an average manager like Redknapp hope they dont get a manager like redknapp because hes quality Nah i dont rate Redknapp at all, He'll never be a top manager. He already is tbh. When was the last time you saw Portsmouth in the top 8?

you're missing my point. he's not as good now as he was. Correct. But he's still better than 95% of midfielders out there. 5 years ago he was untouchable. A superb player.

Old is the new new midds. Is it fuck. Locked.

Fucks sake...

If they win tonight and the weekend, string together some half decent results, he could last until Chrimbo. Nee stink without shite. He's gone.

Sacked whilst he's managing the game? Brilliant. That's exactly what I was thinking. Why leak it during a game? What harm would it do to release it later tonight? I now see what it was like looking in at how Freddy used to do things. Spurs need a new board (or not). They couldn't have handled the situation any worse! The whole thing just stinks tbh. They've made Jol's position untenable and I must admit I've got more than a scrap of sympathy for him.

Only a matter of time. He's lost the dressing room imo.

Pleat is one of those people I've got an irrational hatred for. He hasn't wronged me or insulted me but I just hate the twat. Probably because he's a kerb-crawler now I come to think of it.

Whats funny?? Count...

Are we not 3th?

For the first time in my lifetime, we've actually got a back 4 I've got faith in. Beye and Enrique look like proper full backs and in Cacapa, Faye, Rozenhal and Taylor we've got a bit of strength in depth at centre half. They look calm and assured for most of the game and seem to be talking to each other. Makes a welcome change and, thankfully, Ramage will never kick a ball for this club again. He'll find his level eventually but it won't be at this club.

Looked a poor player on tonights 'performance'. Was scared stiff of Martins tbh.

Box office hours are 9am-5pm (Mon-Fri) and 9am-3pm (Sat). The Box Office telephone number is 0191 261 1571 I'm assuming they'll just stay open past 5pm so people can pick up tickets and sell any remaining free seats?

I think he's absolutely average tbh. He struggles to control the ball, can't pass it accurately more than 10 yards & can't head it for s***. He can't tackle, fails to bring others into the game and can't hold it up when it's pinged up to him. He is, however, fast as f*** when latching onto a through ball and can shoot very powerfully every now and again. I don't like you. Which bits do you disagree with? Well i disagree with the fact that you've pointed out these flaws, which you're not too wrong about (although i feel his flaws are majorly highlighted too much so) and with all these apparently obviouls fundamental flaws he's still managed to stick the ball in the back of the net 20 odd times (in his first season in a differnt league), that speaks mountains to me, there are many strikers out there who dont have any obvious weaknesses yet couldnt hit an elephants arse with a frying pan, why is he lambasted so much?? You've agreed with me yet still had a little dig! He isn't as good as you think he is. Sorry but it's the truth. He'll score goals but it doesn't make him a good footballer. He struggles badly with the rudiments of the sport and he flatters to deceive more often than not. He's just not that good tbh. I wish he was. But he's not.

That'll do me.

Except they've only lost one of their last 8....

I can't imagine Keane being told to buy anyone he wasn't happy with can you? Just not sure Keane/Quinn can actually attract the players they think they can. They can be as rich as Chelsea but if the top players don't want to sign for you then you're struggling. They'll do ok and stay up but they'll blow all of their beans in the process imo.

I like the look of Jones, however £6m was a tad silly. Roy Keane has made them put points on the board, and they'll raise their game against us, but apart from that, theres nothing there. But i can see him being backed heavily in the winter window, whatever the position they are in, i think that will be the big difference come May between them and other clubs looking to stay in the prem (ie Boro who haven't got a pot to piss in) Agree with that. Jones looks handy but other than him, there's absolutely no-one else to be wary of. They'll work hard and grind out results, especially at home but I'm not sure how well Keane will spend in January. He had a boatload in the summer and bought a load of shite tbh. Give £36m to someone like Redknapp and he'd transform the squad and you'd see the improvement straight away.

West Ham one up already. Cole. The big question is - how shit would Sunderland look if they HADN'T spent £36m this summer?.....

Blackburn 2 up to Reading. Getting the feeling Reading have been sussed out. 15th beckons...

3 points in judo that isn't it?
