http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7721593.stm This is all a fucking shambles. Gordon Taylor being happy with one player per team being tested post match? What a tool. Even with these so-called improvements, I could tell someone how to dope and not get caught. I don't personally think that the Premier League has a serious drug problem, mainly due to it's island location, but then again I don't believe that no footballer in this division has ever doped and not got caught. The attitude of the PL, FA, and PFA completely stinks, and it is pretty much established these days that authorities and club managers are just as culpable when it comesto doping as the dopers themselves.

Very well done guys, in particular to Rich and Dave and anyone else who has sacrificed sleep for the cause.

I certainly wouldn't. The man just isn't close to being good enough. We'll keep picking up the odd win so his time here doesn't look like a complete disaster and as I've said I'll give him credit for trying his best at keeping things ticking over, but that's all. Fact is he needs to go and be replaced by someone with a lot more tactical sense, Ashley needs to go so they'll be some spending and stability at the club, and the likes of Smith, Cacapa, and Butt have to be replaced as soon as possible. In a perfect world this would all be the case by the January window. In reality, whatever Harris says, I don't think it will be. To be honest, unless the new people want Keegan back, there is no-one out there who would risk coming mid-season who is better than Kinnear. £ $ £ $ £ $ Very naive way of looking at things when: a) There are no guarantees that the people going on will be able to pay any more than Ashley b) The new owners may be very limited in their knowledge of who the good managers are. c) Top managers put their careers ahead of financial gain in most instances. Any self-respecting candidate will tell us to wait until the end of the season if they think we want them that badly.

Shola got in the way.

URGH

It is really easy to get run over after the game trying to get to the Underground as well.

Come On Shay!

It isn't something he's done much in his career.

YES!

Fulham starting to look scared. Bring Owen on, make them more scared.

We've got Gutierrez. We need Shearer, Robert, Solano and Speed. and Woodgate, Bellamy, Batty.... Point stands though, playes like Dyer and Jonas are great to have when there are decent players around them, and the pace and running on the ball of either player would help other quality players do their stuff. We don't have those players, with the exception of Owen, Colo, Barton and Beye.

Dyer never had much end product, but his runs would draw players out of position, creating openings for the likes of Solano and Robert to exploit and find Shearer or Bellamy.

We might have needed an early wake up.

Haven't noticed Butt once.

Sorry

Cacapa had a good game at Fulham last season...

At the moment, he seems to be learning and responding to what he's seen happen on the pitch, unlike say Allardyce who made the same mistakes over and over again. I'd give him until the end of the season, but I'm not sure I'd want to see him taking control of transfers.

Wrong season Unbelievable...

I'd get off the bottom of the league where you've been for the whole first quarter of the season before you start talking Jol.

Does that mean it was the police what dunnit?

Unfair on our current/future managers.

Although some people laugh at some of the supposedly senile comments that Robson has made, surely I am not the only person who thinks that they are rather clever, and testament to the man's enthusiasm?

If the club were in favour of this permanent banner, I reckon they'd commission their own. Probably sponsored by Adidas.
