Van der Vaart.

Colo by a long way. Reasons against Barton = MGP punch

If Rooney doesn't play, it just means it will be Chicarito/Berba anyway so I'm not too bothered.

No way. Simpson did the right thing - covering his man to the byline. It was smart play by Jarvis to cut it back, but Simpson's work meant he couldn't whip it in with any pace so the defenders in the box should have dealt with it. Exactly, Danny Simpson is awesome.

Don't blame Danny Simpson. He is a god.

Nice post Jon. Quite insightful from you at midnight on a Saturday. I have no idea what to expect from Gosling, being out for 18 month at that age is a huge setback, both mentally and physically. I agree with you RE: Larsson, he can also play right back. Don't think Cahill is realistic most people are pressuring Wenger into getting him. I think the next youngster to break through will be Kazenga, seemed to be doing well at Brighton, would like to see him in a good Championship side.

Don't think O'Hara is on our radar sadly.

Ah, I thought he was signed from obscurity on the cheap. If they get relegated they may have to let him leave cheap? Im not sure how the parachute payments work ect.

Dave - Today he was up against Danny Simpson. Ronaldo - The Rod would be a cheap back up striker if Wigan go down £3mill? Decent impact player too. I can't see Wigan paying him high wages.

Yeah well, I have an love for Hugo Rodallega, don't piss on my parade. I do agree to some extent, see Routledge at Palace. Jarvis will be class though, where ever he goes.

If someone looks good in a shit team, they will be good in a better team. People Like Jarvis and The Rod are far too good for the Championship.

After todays games. Whos going down? Worth a thread do you reckon?

I'm pretty sure we could get some good players in from the potentially relegated teams. Would like Rodallega and McCarthy from Wigan.

Dowie will always be a legend to me for getting absolutley mortal in Tup Tup to the point he had no idea what was going on and couldn't talk. Obviously we got relegated.

Oh shit, forgot Tiote was suspended.

Didn't Chelsea bid £30m for him in Jan? I think he's over rated personally,

Would if I could afford it, I'll be on the tap water.

If we dont win this weekend I can't see you boy playing this season.

How do you mean they are quite different in style? I've mentioned on here before that I'd rather we changed our style of play than go for another lumbering target man. Also it means we wont have to pay Barton ridiculous wages, as he would be ineffectual... What a load of s****. Loves to bite. In all seriousness, I don't really see any point in changing our style of play, we've got a pretty shit team to be fair, but with a big guy upfront we have a very balanced and efficient team. A bit like Villa under MON, I don't think many of there players were anything special, but they were very balanced.

Nolan is on an estimated 50k a year, giving him a new contract is far from cheap.

Anyone know where in town shows this apart from Shearers. Ta.

Bring Kevin Davies in.

Don't see the problem if they just exclude Liverpool.
