caught out of position loads, even when he knew that position was getting targeted.

crikey dave, all I said was he was poor defensivly. attacking wise he's been a lot better, regardless of whether he created as goal or not.

and you know full well i'm talking about his play overall.

could have been crap and set one up. surely it's how he plays overall ? I'd take him getting an assist every game as being 'attacking average'. You said it, not me. jeez dave i doubt it. he was defenensivly very poor today and could have cost us more. it's up to you if you want to go by what we got away with, blinding yourself to to what we got away with....santon was cack defensivly.

defensivly poor today, attacking average. would put haidara in next week. not because of todays performance but we could do with a more solid , more orthodox full back in this sort of game.

does little off the ball. it'll come.

don't see how it's unfair on west brom but agree with the rest. the loan system is crap and needs changing but it will stay as it is while it gives some clubs the ability to hoover up talent.

You can see that we are not used to having any depth as we instantly start to move players out of their preferred positions. given n'zogbia wanted to play centre midfiled i'd much rather play players where they do best for us as opposed to where they want.

i'll settle for that every week.

That second one's made up. may have been, however i remember woodgate playing at wolves, first game back from injury, shouldn't have played and was as bad as i've seen a centre half play for us in the prem.

i remember him getting bergkamp subbed at SJP at half time (maybe even before) as he just beat him to every single ball.

He is always going to be a key for us. Such a class player. steady on. this could be the new player bounce as he never seemed so good in france, long may it continue but it's too early to come out with that sort of stuff. (unlike sissoko/mapou who showed in france to some extent what they were about)

and thats a lot of money for a 27yr old. can't see fergie paying it (he's only really speny on van persie over 25yrs for a long time and we can all see why), wenger may in his dying throws when he's panicing. PSG could be more of a worry.

nice fella, always seemed to have more times for the fans than others (often happens witrh those that come into the pro game late), especially given his 'robustness' on the pitch

my memeory of bramble is (till his last few months) coming out of grounds saying he done 99% of everything right and still cost us the game.

Cheers ta! thats posh jesmond though, the council sees to it thery get the best of everything. scotswood's under 4ft, walker had a hurricane and newbiggin hall's been in drought since '76.

rumours last summer that man utd were quoted 21mill plus tom cleverly.

very ropey against forest, very good at maritimo, good at man utd but possibly at fault for one of the goals, thats all i can remember about him.

you want santon and debuchy to stay back when we are attacking ?

given krul and ben arfa are out/wont start, i'd like to see... elliot debuchy m'biwa saylor santon cabaye anita gouffran sissoko marveaux cisse expecting to see...... elliot debuchy saylor colo santon cabaye tiote gouffran sissoko jonas cisse

Supermac in the semi V Burnley. Could be front and back of t-shirt. Front being our half and terry hibbitts pass, the back being the continuation of the pass and the finish. in a similar vein man utd fans may like a similar for beckhams against wimbledon.

That would be terrible news, also though getting a call up would be a great honour for him and having a geordie in the squad would b super. He will probally learn from playing with the likes of cole and... wait just cole. He needs to stay fit anyway to prove he can be a consistent starter so we can rely on him the club needs to work out if he's been unlucky with injuries or is injury prone.

"amid fears", "up to"...could be worst case scenario speaking.
