All this keep a clean sheet and happy with a point is great but the reality is we have hardly managed it yet so far this year. We have a very talented set of attacking players, IMO, we should be concentrating on making sure we score. The defense is doing alot better and will get better still. If we have serious top 4 aspirations or at least top 6, we should not see a point at Reading as a good result.

We have had a very good start to the season, no doubting that. 20 points (assuming we win) after 10 games is a very good return if you can keep that going for a season. We should be confident going into this game. I say play the same system as Monday, no need to revert to a defensive and non-creative 4-3-3. We need to go and play with confidence and make the opportunities we get count.

Maybe, at least he is not a two faced fat Cnut that takes the piss out of the local people, signs his own players and lies through a face full of pies (yet anyway). A complete breath of fresh air compared to the "I am geordie, just like the rest of you" shepperd.

Given Beye Cacapa Faye Enrique Milner Butt Emre Zoggy Smith Oba If we are under the cosh, Smith can come back and help the mid field. If we are two up, bring Barton on for Emre and Owen on for Smith.

Good result. We are still finding our feet under Big Sam - lets not forget that. It was good to see us back playing 4-4-2 - we looked better than when we are 4-3-3. The defense looked very good although their goal was a bit soft although a good header from Bender. Overall - very happy. Not having a go but if only our home crowd would get back to good old days and make some fookin noise - for the WHOLE game, I think we would damage teams alot more and it would really boost the players. When you are playing a team like Tottenham that are shot of condidence, a hostile and noisey crowd is like having an 12th man. If only people would realise that.

Lots of players (kids) idolise players (and clubs) but most do not get to play for that club. I think this will be the case here as well although I would not be too unhappy if he did arrive.

Can't be arsed to read the rest of this... but I could not have put it any better. Still, some people will not be happy. This bullshit has to stop and hopefully him saying this will do exactly that.

He should not go BUT a 4-3-3 is shite and does not work with Butt Smith and Geremi. Watching the City game it was clear it does not work - no creativity what so ever. Also, you look at the way they passed the ball and we do and we are miles apart. SGE has been in the job no longer then Sam either. Sam is the right manager for the job - but, if he is going to blame injuries like he has after the City game he will soon go much like Souness and Glenda did.

Enrique on for Geremi and Emre on for Smith - go 4-4-2. Butt Smith and Geremi just does not look good. They are passing the ball around better than us. Still think we are doing alot better than we did at Derby and Arse. We can win this.

Either way, think Chelsea will be fook all without Mourinho. Can see them coming 4th at best the way the other three are playing. That said tinker man could well fuck it up as well if he continues the way he is. The top four or who finishes where is not a dead cert this year...

For all the negative shite said since Derby and also the no show at Arsenal, I actually think we will win this one. I think that we will be jeckle and hide for a few more months. Big sam is getting used to players and trying new systems. We are missing and have been missing players. Everyone needs time to settle and get used to things. Only once all the players are back or have been played can we really comment on the the way we have been playing. I think this should be a good game - close in the table. We win this and we move up.

Hope the cockney mackems show some respect. Nice one to the club. RIP Jordan.

Sold out now. Anyone know how many tickets we got in the first place?

9 new players 12 away on international duty Barton, Emre, Duff, Viduka, Enrique - injured Beye and Faye only been here two weeks 6th game, one defeat Panic not. Give him time and get behind the best mager and sqaud we have in years for fuck sake. We are going to achieve fook all with the doom mongers on here. Fuck off and support the mackems ffs.

Certian previous managers would have stuck Given straight back in. Respect the fact Sam is sticking with Harper who has done nothing wrong. Its his shirt to loose as far as I am concerned.

Agree with Shola for Martins.. It works for Owen. Martins and Shay not happy then. Good for us we have some choices at last. Think we should win this one - comfortably.

Not just yet. Don't forgot we got fook all out of him for 2 whole seasons. If he can get to Jan injury free and keep playing like he now is, we should then sit down and discuss a new contract with him.

Am I right in thinking I should get SJH L7 tickets to sit with the Ultra's??

Are tickets for this likely to go on general sale?

06/07 Solano /Carr Gooch/Taylor/Damage/Titus/Huntington Babayaro/Edgar 07/08 Beye/Carr/Geremi Taylor, Cacapa, Roz, Faye Zoggy/Enrique/Yeah Right No brainer really. And he can play in midfield. Double no brainer.

Would rather play them at their place. We seem to be more relaxed away from home this season. Cannot see any reason why we will not get passed this lot. Definately going to this one.

Moving in the right direction. Glad we won just so the doom mongers did not start winging. A good break to work a few more things although we could be missing a few players due to internationals.

Best summer bar none. Very good work by Sam, Mike and Chris What they have achieved is very impressive IMO as both Mike and Chris have never been in football before. We must now give big Sam TIME to work with the players and not expect us to go and win the league today!! A repeat of booing at the Villa game cannot happen again. Bring back the good times - and a rocking SJP.

Good luck Nobby.. You will need it.

NB, no doubt is a class player. You do not spend most of your career at Utd if your shite, let alone spending most of that it in the first team. Geremi was a bit part player in the "special ones" team. Hard to say who is better. Captain material - Geremi - player, Butt. Putt them in the same team? Away yes, at home no.
