And yet you never come over and talk to me in Bar One. Buy me some Champagne next time, and I might!

He meant Beye. My mate is called Mike, and Ashley said "whats your name?" and he said "mike" and Ashley goes "MY NAMES MIKE TOO!"

I said wheres Sam? he replied with "he's probably in bed!" laughing and joking about. You could tell he has alot of passion for the game, and was talking to me as if he a fan, rather than the game. I dropped Riquelmes name in, but he said it was upto Sam. He loves Alan Smith, said "he's the future" I was well drunk but either Mort or Ashley were going on about Nicky Butt's performance. Said we are getting "that fella from bolton, and some french bloke" He's just a legend, I think I told him so about 50 times.

Yeah, I did meet them, was in the VIP bit, was talking to them all for ages.

RIP

cos it's been your only one, bless Ok mate.

Charlton at home last season.

Link?

Glen Johnson would be decent tbh, gives us pace, and a decent cross, something we lack down the right, shame he's a shite defender. Better than Carr though, who has no qualities in his game at all.

I agree Wullie, I was taking the piss.

I never said it was crap, ever. I just said I don't think it will work with our team at the moment. I don't see how Martins arial ability effects anything, wingers rarely head the ball, unless we play a long ball up. If Martins could be coached to play that role he would be lethal, but that leaves our right hand side...

Yeah I know, but do you honestly think Martins can do that? I pressume you mean Martins, as I can't see anyone else playing that role.

or 2 clever incisive forwards and a clever central man,which we have. wingers were nice to watch and their time may come again but hitting the by line to cross for a forwards head is history for the time being even more history,maybe we are looking for inside forwards History? Chelsea won the league with pacey wingers and a powerfull centre half. I agree with your point about clever forwards and a clever central man, but Oba has raw ability, I like the bloke, but he really doesn't have a footballing brain. Milner, is just an average premierleague player, overated due to nationality and his age, and I think he would be FAR better suited as a centre mid, as his passing and shooting ability would be better utilized than his 1/4 good crosses and his lack of pace. Owen is a predator, just because he has pace doesn't mean he can play on the wing, he is world class in the 6 yard box, and its where he should be, or in the treatment room. After watching Bolton today Diouf and Anelka showed how wingers should play, they didn't waste time getting into the box and/or putting a ball across the box.

Yeah it can if you have 2 good wingers and a strong, quick centre forward. We don't have any of these.

I'd rather get beat 4-3 with 4-4-2 than win 1-0 with 4-3-3

Yeah, well I won't be going to the games, purely an armchair fan, a very very fickle one.

Why decemeber?

If we play 4-3-3 I'm off to support Blackburn.

Dazza probably is telling the truth, he's been right in the past.

Chelsea sold them Gudjohnsen. Probably bollocks anyway.

Seems like a canny bloke tbh, apart from beating people up and putting cigars out on people.

Boro have Woody, Huth, Pogatetz and Young injured, if play defensive football I won't be fucking happy.
