Why do we need defenders when we have nobody scoring goals? Keeping a clean sheet at least starts us off in the right direction. We have players who could score goals IMO (Duff, Milner, Martins, Zoggy) if they were being used right. But that's a different story...

With regards to how much we should spend, I think the answer for me is somewhere in the middle. We clearly need to strengthen most of the squad, but then that's only what we should have done in the summer anyway, it's not like this is anything new. I'd be happy if we made a couple of decent loan signings or free agents (again, this would have been far easier at the right time, in the summer - see Campbell) and spent wisely, up to maybe £5m? I see Milner going straight off for possibly £3m so that would obviously help. I certainly don't see that throwing silly money at the squad will keep us up alone. Only an increase of determination (and organisation by whoever the manager is) and some half-decent players willing to roll their sleeves up will do that. Sibierski is a good example. Splashing the cash has never been the answer. Using the cash wisely is. For example, how daft does the £15m on a player we didn't need (and has been shit by all accounts anyway) and an unfinished article in Martins look now? Surely with better judgement £15m could go a long way, and at least cover our squad from injuries? The likes of Allardyce and Curbishley dream of spending that kind of money; they stay up on much less. So I say option C. Anyway, 'If you select option B and we go down will you then blame the Board for not splashing the cash in January despite saying right now that they shouldn't splash the cash in January.' isn't fair; if we go down it won't be just because we didn't spend money. It's this simplistic view of Shepherd's (i'll just spent more money, that'll work) that was resulted in many of the problems in the first place.

January more like. Off to Villa quicker than fatty can down a pasty.

On Five Live, saying we couldn't change the game (the Sheff Utd fixture). Sounds fishy, that. Playing the fucking Geordie card in every bastard sentence too. 'I'm a Geordie' - so fucking what, doesn't stop you being incompetent.

Someone write up if he says anything of note or different. I don't want to see or hear the fucker.

He's been a bad loser for years. Coincidently, he's also been a winner.

Pah, tit or no tit, it's a nothing incident.

He was still a huge tit head Get your swear filter off you pansy! I didn't think owt to it. Pardew was acting like a prick, as Mourinho was the other night in Barcelona. One gets support, one gets critisised. I wonder why.

He'll be on, the attention-seeking twat.

Use some fucking grammar, man.

Nah. He's just a bit spazzy.

That third person stuff is awful. Should have heard Brian Laws on the radio about taking over Wednesday. "There's no reason why the man who takes Wednesday back up to the promised land can't be Brian Laws".

It was fuck all. Media frenzy once again.

Yeah, into multiple sections.

Could we still end up with Defoe?

Woeful Financially

Although I think Parker is in the wrong here, officially complaining about his behaviour is equally as petty.

We have scored the same amount of goals as Kanu in the premiership this season! bluesigh.gif Villa have had as many pens as we've scored goals.

To be fair if you ask any of the reserve watching regulars they'll tell you the youngsters are miles away from being good enough for the first team. That's right, isn't it NSG et al?
