Yorkie - you need to get rid of that 'Thanks anyway' as you are thanking that fat bastard for nothing. He reduced the quality of our squad, and had these players playing at 25% of their ability.
Allardyce gave absolutely nothing to the club, and we can thank our lucky stars that we have been able to get out of the mess he created.
Slightly off-topic - apologies.
What no-one seems to have noticed about the Geremi goal, is that Viduka stood in the wall, and as Geremi ran up, he moved behind the wall, and Geremi's shot is played into the space that Viduka vacated.
EDIT: Maybe not.
Martins takes it past O'Hara and is fouled, keegan shouts at him to keep going and he obliges, playing it to Viduka's feet, only Viduka dummies it, and Owen curls it first time inside the right hand post.
Our three midfielders aren't the most popular of our players, but I'd say that their passing has become very progressive. There are still sideways passes, but the ball is played so that players can run on to the ball rather than have to twist and turn to get the ball moving forward again.
I've been impressed with them three and Martins and Enrique so far.
Less impressed with Faye, Taylor and Viduka.
