For the last time, it isn't just about red and yellow cards.

No-one else Decky. Although it is good to get some youngsters a little run out, we can't play so many that it is going to destroy their confidence.

Lacking two half decent wingers and lacking good all round central midfielders, any team would be shit in a 442.

Fucking hell, no-one is playing today, so it is incredibly stupid to blame Owen.

tbh, it is probably for the best in the long term that going into the end of the season, some of our players get the chance to prove that they are projectile turboshit over ninety minutes.

Need to start fining players for giving away unnecessary free kicks in dangerous areas. £10,000 per foul. Will definitely reduce our wage bill (or get better results).

'Professional foul', which was followed by a penalty, so I imagine he denied a goalscoring opportunity by bringing someone down. Only one game then. Hopefully our first game will be at home vs Shola Ameobi's red and white army. Aren't all straight reds a three match ban? Professional Foul = One game unless Dunne's discipline has been terrible.

Is that enough for them to lose their Fair Play standing..? Unlikely. Red and yellows only account for about a fifth of the fair play score, and this game only accounts for a 38th of their score. So it will only affect a 190th of their score.

Dunne sent off, early bath then straight up to SJP lad. Will miss the start of the season now the silly man.

Read today West Ham are not going to renew his contract. Well known amongst West Ham fans that the board have instructed Curbishley to reduce first team squad by about 10 players.

Big goal.

Second halfs will be simultaneous. Terry put the wrong shorts on on purpose in my opinion.

Come on Toon! FAO Brummie, no difference really between InterToto and UEFA qualification.

Could we not have had Shola on the bench?

Our bench is well weird, could we have not found a striker or midfielder from anywhere?

I'd use both depending onthe formation our opponents play, and how good their players are. I think that any half decent team playing 442 can overrun our 433 at times, as reflected byt the results we have displayed. However, when our opponents play the 451/433 system we have found ourselves able to pass the ball around inferior midfielders, often leaving us at 4 vs 4 during good attacking moves that occur three or four times every game. Meanwhile our defence stays solid because their midfield trio cant get the ball past our midfield trio, our full backs have their wingers under control, and Faye has the better of long balls towards their lone striker.

Load of bollocks. No way he'd be sold that cheaply. He's buying out his contract But can only move to a foreign club, so its bollocks any EPL team is linked with him for that price. Where in Fifa Article 17 does it say they have to move to another league? It is a well known fact, I don't know how you can question it.

The Chief Football Writer at NOTW is obsessed with Chelsea. With that in mind, I wouldn't put it past them to have a story with the purpose of unsettling the Manyoo strikers. Where are the quotes? All I see is Fergie wanting a long term replacement for Giggs.

Fulham to stay up I reckon.

I think Wigan have been treating today a lot more proffessionally than Bolton. I wonder if Manyoo are genuinely interested in Palacios and Valencia, or whether these stories came out a few weeks ago in an attempt to sabotage the form of Wigan's best players. Likewise, I wouldn't be suprised if the NOTW's story about Owen to Manyoo is Chelsea fan Rob Beasley's attempt to unsettle the Manyoo strikers.

We are desperate for a player with pace (that uses it, so Martins doesn't count) so even if we can only get Dwain Chambers we should go for it.

Looks like another Norwegian special to me...

I think English national association football has long needed better representation in the South Western corner of the country. Ten years ago, the highest placed side in the South West peninsula was a League One side. The last player from this region to get a first England call-up was Nigel Martyn. Without the big teams forming a catchment zone, these players have gone largely undiscovered and have become lost to other proffessions. Therefore it would be good to see Bristol City come up, and possibly a second club like Plymouth in the near future.
