You're barking tbh.

Just seen it! The daft fucker shouldn't have been on the park but he barely touched him. Absolutely ridiculous reaction from Dida. Cheating twat.

Salt of the Earth man...

Oh dear. Marseille have just smacked one in from 20 yards off the crossbar. That's a blow...

http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_2771236,00.html 3rd choice You rate Harper as a better keeper than Jaaskelainen? as good as. i've never particularly rated jaas that highly,like niemi a few years back when people were raving about him. That's fair enough. I think he's head and shoulders better than Harper from what I've seen of him, but there you go. All about opinions as they say.

Water them? Not rocket science like... thanks mate but i kinda think thaat its not as simple as that, although obviously with the superb all year sun weather in the toon i can see how the training pitches dont get enough water in them anyway. LEt alone the practiality of watering the training pitch every day 5 days a week, i dont think so somehow. Ask a stupid question...

How fat is Mido? Wouldn't look out of place turning out for the Dun Cow...

I don't see what the reason for going out has to do with any player coming back, if a player is doing well when he's playing in the team, he should keep his place until that player does something to lose it. I've never liked a player walking back into the team just because he's fit. It sends the wrong message to the player who comes in and does well, a player should know that he will be rewarded for putting in good performances. That is the incentive to come in and do well, that is what will drive the players on to do better, it's dangling the carrot. I just think that he lost his place through no fault of his own. He picked up a knock and couldn't play and Harper came in and deputised for 6 weeks or so. Now he's fit, I think he deserves his place back. Harper did ok, not great but not bad, served his purpose and now should revert to the role he seems happy to have accepted. Can see where you're coming from though.

I agree. However, it seems a bit inconsistent of the manager to say that form players pick themselves and then drop the form player. Wouldn't you agree that if you go down that route you should stick with it, rather than drop an in-form player? I would...but the only reason Harper got his game was down to Given picking up an injury. It wasn't lack of form. He's now fit so he should come straight back and start every game until he loses his place for playing poorly. In my opinion obviously.

I think Given's got enough quality games in the bank to justify sticking with him after a few dodgy moments. He's still very much in credit imo.

I wish the embarrassing c***s who wave shoew would stay at home. there was no shoe waving from our lot from what i could see you armchair cunt die of fucking aids your kind isn't needed at st james' fucking arsehole Dear me! And on God's day too...

I like to think that one day they'll pass each other in the street, walk on a few yards before both stopping, turning and squinting at each other. Just knowing somehow who the other one is and then launching into an angry debate about Shepherd in the middle of the street. I reckon that if they ever found themselves in the same bar having a pint, they'd get on like a house on fire personally. Honestly! blueyes.gif

Lescott or Woodgate should play if Terry is out. You just know that McClaren will play someone like Wes Brown or Dawson though. Concurred. blueyes.gif

John Terry's broken his cheekbone. That's at least a month out I reckon. How many will be calling for Taylor to be called up after today then? Thought he was poor and did himself no favours whatsoever in front of McClaren.

Spot on. blueyes.gif Patience is needed.

Exactly People who moan should be banned imo, just to piss them off even more So how will that work then? I was being sarcastic obviously Ah right. So you we'll not be hearing any whining from you then?

Speed, Solano, Dyer, Jenas, Robert ... Yeah, Jenas is just what we need Did I say that you moron? That was a midfield who passed very well together. I'm not interested in getting into a slanging match, but yes thats exactly what you said if you read the question properly and your answer to it. Quite how that equates to me being the moron I don't know. Your an idiot mate. He said remember when we had midfielders that could pass? I gave the names, I didn't say we needed Jenas. Run along little boy. How am I an idiot? You were advocating Jenas as a midfielder who could pass............ Please stop bickering you two.

...hyde and sikh!

All depends. If we were to win the F A Cup this season but finish 12th - is that success? League position is the only way to measure how we compare with the other clubs in the country over the course of the year. As such. I'd say qualifying for the Champions League on a regular basis would be regarded as success. It's open to interpretation though. Very arbitrary. blueyes.gif

He'll start Crouch and Defoe. (Think Crouch has been suspended but available for this one) Ashton may make the squad/bench.

Fuck it. Locked.

You know the board's gone fucking mental when Ridz is the voice of reason... Seriously - the amount of people who've turned into complete arseholes in the last hour is unbelievable. List them tbh. Martins remains shit. I'll let people make their own lists... (wasn't directed at you btw.)
