10 points behind Citeh, Everton and Villa is a piss poor return at this stage considering our games to come isn't it?

Weren't allowed to do that when I was a kid, at least I always thought it was illegal. No-one did it anyway, real men took penalties back then. Christ, that Utaka's like a bloody whippet. Oh and another thing, I'm sick of hearing "last man." It's not even in the rules ffs.

If Tuncay goes down there, spot kick and maybe more.

Well played Hansen.

Unfortunately for me they'll fix it.

I had Toure, Distin, Cesc, Tevez, James and Barry. Got Anelka and three City players to come tomorrow - picked them all to try and throw some of my bad luck over them.

I did well, but Laursen and Mellberg I've totally fallen out with. Twats. How dare they not make me pick them?

Mellberg and Laursen. What a pair of benchwarming arseholes. >

Go for him.

Depends what you mean, if "Sticking up for the club" means saying we're getting there, in five years time we're gonna be contenders, it's going to come good in the end etc it just makes us look deluded when from the outside looking in we look very ordinary and are not showing much potential. As for only writing this stuff now, doesn't he write all the time? How do you know he was against the appointment at the time if he didn't give his views on it then? This is where some balance comes in, not once does BF point to the manager needing time or money or any of that stuff or some of the good things that's happened. In short he just sounds like another whinging Geordie expecting too much too soon and when it doesn't happen, stamps his feet. That article didn't need so many words - "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" - would have done. He has hated allardyce since before he came to us. The chapter on Bolton and the quote on the back cover sort of confirm that. Exactly, so it's personal. Ah right, so if he says nowt at the time, he's jumping on the bandwagon but if he does say something at the time, then it's personal. So he can't win basically in your eyes. Why is everyone who offers an opinion in the public eye always trying to sell something? Is it possible for a single second that it might actually be their honest opinion, in this case gained from years of following NUFC home and away? He didn't storm the Times office and force them to print anything ffs. He's the best writer about NUFC at the moment and has been for a long time. Bet he wouldn't be just "trying to sell his book" if he'd said Allardyce was the best thing since sliced bread would he?

Love how Enrique gets slagged off for not getting picked.

Good article that. Farrington often comes up with the goods, I find.

You say that about everyone man. If it was up to you, no-one would ever have written a book.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't us tbh. Would explain the constant chopping and changing too as much as anything.

I love the "so-called proven manager route" that's apparently been so bad for us in the past. We've signed quite a few professional footballers on here that've been shite, let's sign some amateurs instead. A lot of them have been blokes too though, better sign some women. Ah but those humans might be the problem altogether. Anyone got London Zoo's phone number?

Indeed Edd. Most of those sides down to Man Utd at the top have a tall striker who will win stuff - Carew, Berbatov, Crouch, Kuyt, Ashton, Cole, Jones, Mido. I wish it were better, but it doesn't necessarily mean an awful lot. Chelsea and Arsenal aren't pulling up trees in that department.

1878 said previously that it was some sort of tribute to Fitz Hall's clothing line. Apparently that's a myth. So says Google anyway.

In the first dozen or so games of this season he was very poor, easily the poorest he's been for us. He had an entire season last where he was quality on the right.

Might as well sign someone from League 2, they'll turn to shit when they pull a black and shirt on anyway. Cut out the middle man and save a few bob.

Promoting some youth thing being run by Fitz Hall apparently.

So Geremi was stripped of the captaincy because of this? He must have been on the phone in the dressing room in that case. Ludicrous to even be guessing, never mind thinking one guess is any more likely than the next.

Mackems as usual looking like something that just crawled out of the primordial ooze.

Well, that didn't get much of a mention. I must say I am surprised! Other way round, they'd have been round the linesman's house.
