:lol:

Just watching the highlights, Arsenal can fuck off with any "hard done by" shite cos Barton's is not even a tackle, he just gets to the 50-50 ball first and Best is not even level, he's absolutely miles onside, don't know how the linesman doesn't see that when the bloke playing him on is right in front of him.

Don't see the point in picking faults with any of the players at the moment (at least while Alan Smith's injured), especially the strikers. The club had the chance to replace him and didn't so this is what we have and fair play to him, I thought Best did everything asked of him today.

Tbf Mark Chapman said if it hadn't been Barton, no-one would be complaining about the tackle.

The camera angle from right behind Tiote where you can see it bend, I sit three or four yards directly in front of that camera, as soon as it left his boot, I could see it was swinging into the corner. Sensational.

Not sure I could properly put into words what I watched today.

I thought he was absolutely superb.

Thought it had happened in the FA Cup, Man City vs Spurs but Spurs were 3-0 up at half time and lost 4-3. Funnily enough, Joey Barton got sent off in that match before City started their comeback.

He ran from where he scored to the corner of the East Stand/Leazes. Class. I was wondering if Harper had come up. Don't think i've ever seen that happen. Krul did it at some point, possibly when Best got the hat trick.

That'll be more than enough. Don't believe Ashley's lies.

The club could at least have the decency to remove his fucking face from the online ticket site. "Buy a ticket not to watch this bloke", fuck's sake.

Depends on your definition of success but I don't think that's true at all. I think the club would like you to think it though. Well yeah, by success I was thinking European qualification and then pushing up into the top 4. If by success you mean getting promoted and potentially finishing in the top half, then pushing on from there... we're already doing that. Do you think Spurs are taking massive financial risks? Or even the mackems, who will probably still either bottle it or simply be caught by Liverpool, but are still very much in contention for Europe? Do you think Arsenal are taking massive financial risks? How would you have gone about running the club? Serious question. Thats a question to anyone bytheway. Don't sell the best players? Agenda aside id genuinely be interested in someones opinion as to what exactly they'd do differently. In terms of transfers I think we;ve been close to spot on in recent years. Even Spurs had to sell the likes of berba and carrick before they got estabilished. If the money is spent wisely then we're on the right way in my opinioon. Obviosuly the biggest if going. Aye, our transfers have been so spot on, we ended up going down. Jesus, man. We went down due to the utter managerial shambles post Keegan. The squad, although it contained plenty of over paid under performers, was still good enough to be in the Premiership. We'd have stayed up if we'd not sold Given, N'Zogbia and/or Milner. We'd have also stayed up if between them, Owen, Viduka, Nolan, Martins, etc. had managed one more goal between them which really shouldn't have been too much to ask? That's the second totally irrelevant reply you've made Nut. They didn't, so obviously it was too much to ask. If you go down, you go down. They don't let you off because it was a close shave. What was irrelevant about the first reply? You said we went down due to bad transfers, all I'm saying is that since we've came back we've made some very good ones. You're including Stephen Ireland on loan? We've just sold our most important player, you might have missed that. I think that tips the balance. So we'll see in the summer if they've returned to form (Jan 2009), or whether the signings his summer will follow what's happened more recently. Well the manager who made the good ones is now gone, so what's your money on? The scout who found them is still here though. Nah I'm not having that like. Just because it's Chris Hughton, he doesn't get credit for his signings? Who finds Man Utd's players then? Or Arsenal's? Not them two clowns in charge, I bet. That is unfair and ridiculous. Graham Carr wasn't even at the club when Keegan sent Hughton over to holland to watch Tiote. I'll take your word for it that Tiote was first scouted then. So Tiote was a Keegan/Hughton spot. And if Best and Perch don't work out they have to be down to Hughton of course. Absolutely. Nobody ever claimed otherwise, although Best was signed as an emergency resort to help get us out of the CCC (which we didn't ultimately need when Carroll stepped his game up), and it is slightly unfair to judge him as a Premier League player, especially one who we're now depending on to keep us up. Similar to Routledge really who may have failed in the top flight but I'd argue was an excellent signing. IMO a manager should be judged on his results, not his transfers. If a manager signs 100 shit/average players and 10 good ones and wins the league, then he's done his job.

Aye, our transfers have been so spot on, we ended up going down. Jesus, man. Yeh, that was the reason why we want down. For the record I mean who've we signed and sold and the prices we've got for them etc. P.S You've always striked me as a bit of an internet warrior. What the hell's an internet warrior? I judge the success of transfers on what they do on the field, not what price you get for them at the end of it. The reason we went down was because the players weren't good enough - that's the players that we bought, you know, from transfers? And we didn't benefit from the ones we didn't have, because, you know, we'd transferred them? Fucking hell. Fuck me - managing a club made easy by Wullie. So in your world the squad that went down was at least the 18th worst in the premiership?! I'm almost 100% certain that if Wenger left in the circumstances that Keegan did and Arsenal appointed Joe Kinnear then they'd go down too, in your world that would make there players not good enough either! Obviously this is all relatively moot as there's no way of knowing for sure but its laughable to suggest that the quality of the players was the reason we went down. The squad that went down was almost identical to the one that went up. You laugh as if they didn't go down ffs. Aye, Arsenal would have gone down, sensible comparison. West Brom have been relegated and subsequently promoted with the same squad about five times, does that mean they were actually good enough each time they got relegated, just badly managed? I'm actually embarrassed for you. Simple question was the squad the 18th worst in the premiership?! Yes or no will do. http://i43.tinypic.com/9kujgl.jpg

No Like we'd have needed them to perform every week to get one more point. Go and have a lie down.
