Good thing Smith is having a spell on the bench, then. Remember the one he scored here for Wigan? Forgot about that actually. We cannot allow him any dead ball shooting opportunities, on his current form it'll be easy pickings.

Just don't give Bullard any free kick opportunities.

I'm nervous but I can't wait either. Let's put this awful run to bed once and for all.

Different eras and totally incomparable in terms of finance. I agree in principle though. The team that came up and finished third was largely the same team that got us promoted, only really Pedro was added iirc. The real money came later.

Definitely exactly the same like.

His Mam's. Probably Emre then. Could be Zamblera if his mam's an Italian lottery winner.

I know Oba drives a black Ferrari, not sure what else.

Interesting how Harry Redknapp is being hailed for his work with Portsmouth given that he was managing West Ham when Keegan was here first time and finished 14th, 10th and 13th. He must have learned a hell of a lot about tactics in those three years Keegan was out of the game.

Kirkland is embarrassingly bad. I really don't think it's a case of black and white specs to say that I'd have Harper ahead of Carson and Kirkland every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Didn't see this thread first time round. Duff.

As if Kirkland and Carson are in.

Well i'm voting for Duff, so fuck you Dave.

Definite potential banana skin like. Still, rather that than even average away form.

What a fucking arsehole.

Robert Lee for me.

Still not convinced Houllier would have been able to take our shower and run with them, having acquired two good sides with Liverpool and Lyon.

What a fucking player that boy is. Unbelievable.

1-0 Chelsea.

* 29 Kuszczak * 24 Fletcher * 19 Pique * 15 Vidic * 22 O'Shea * 07 Ronaldo * 04 Hargreaves * 08 Anderson * 17 Nani * 09 Saha * 32 Tevez

Most Liverpool fans would drive him here themselves. Obviously they'd have to get the ferry to Liverpool first to pick him up.

But you reckon Fulham, the mackems and Reading are going to show a significant step up in class away from home?

He was in defence that Bolton 2nd XI scored 2 against, so I am going with poor until told otherwise. Of course he was handicapped with having Damage alongside him. Pretty harsh to judge him on that basis iyam.

Fulham, sunderland and Reading aren't worse than Birmingham? Even if you're right (and I don't think you are), it's hardly a huge difference. Those three clubs have won one away game between them. Not saying it'll be easy, it won't, but howay.

Fucking hell.

How would you have felt if it'd been Duff being brought on for Martins, with the same goal in mind? Forster would have been a more likely candidate to score or assist than him. So annoyed.
