He was superb tonight. I'm not going to start shit with people, but there is a lot of fickle cunts on here who talk absolute shit, then they shut up when they get proved wrong. A lot of it seems to come from people who don't go to matches but post in matchday threads then they'll complain when they hear something on the radio. Knee jerk reactions.

Dyer has got a long way to go before he deserves to get back in the squad. The needs to stay fit regularly which i can't see him doing. Good to see McClaren seems to be a fan of Parker. Taylor is nowhere near ready yet, although i think in a few years if he has cut the rash decisions out of his game then he could be an England squad regular. He seems to be finally getting back to good form.

Where is Hereford? I want the scum at home. Or i wouldn't mind a non league team away which is quite close.

Is the draw for the FA Cup 3rd round today? My mate was telling me yesterday it was.

Reet, cheers.

I'm gonna go up to SJP tomorrow and post my Bolton application there so it will still be in for the deadline. I was just wondering if the post box thingy is in the same place where the old Box Office used to be, or if they've moved it to where the new box office is?

Was thinking about this the other day when we played Portsmouth. So if next season is his last season and he gets subbed near the end of the game what will YOU do?

YOU LOT ARE ALL IDIOTS. SHEPHERD IS A GREAT MAN. HE ALWAYS BACKS HIS MANAGERS WITH GOOD HARD CASH. LOOK AT ALL OF THE MONEY THAT CAME OUT OF HIS POCKET FOR OWEN. OH HE CALLED ALL OF OUR MAMS DOGS. SURELY THIS CAN BE FORGIVEN CONSIDERING HOW MUCH OUT OF HIS LIFE SAVINGS HE HAS DONATED FOR OUR CAUSE. BEST CHAIRMAN IN EUROPE. WHAT A GREAT MAN, FREDDY SHEPHERD 4 LIFE x x x

I don't know. Brett Emerton's taxi driver is very fuckin slow. Several transfer winows have passed and he still hasn't reached Scotch Corner.

Its been confirmed? Thats news to me. Delete this thread then.

No wonder our youngsters don't live up to expectations. People were asking if Chopra was the new Shearer, they moan when Taylor makes mistakes because they expect him to play like John Terry, and now people are comparing our young 4th choice keeper to one of the best goalkeepers in europe. Can they not just be their own players?

I haven't seen any of these lads play, but from what i hear from people it sounds like Huntington and Carroll are the brightest prospects. I doubt he will start an unexperienced defender, but its possible he could play a young foward. Maybe he will want to make sure of everything before he tries one though. Would be nice to see one or two of them make a name for themselves, after seeing Krul play so well. Would do them the world of good.

It wouldn't surprise me if one or two start. I doubt he'll risk losing more senior players by sending a team full of them out, with him saying he only has 11 fit outfield senior players. I wouldn't be surprised to see Carroll alongside Luque maybe. Then again Luque might play on the wing with Carroll alongside Sibierski or Martins. Thoughts?

DUFF'S COCK IS IN THE OTHER HAND.

If him and Taylor reach their full potential and we manage to keep them then we have got potentially two future top Premiership stars. I'm hoping the 2nd half on Sunday was the turning point for N'Zogbia, and also the last few games are a sign of things to come from Taylor now.

Has he only just moved there not long ago? For a few seasons he sat near me in the Leazes upper tier. I was wondering where he buggered off to.

I doubt we'll go for Zat Knight. When we bid for him in the summer it was a last minute panic bid because we failed to get Woodgate and Huth. Hopefully with a bit of time on our hands we will go for a better defender.

I DIDN'T FUCKING GET ONE. I thought it was gonna be one of those days on Sunday. Woke up late with a hangover so i didn't have time to go on the drink. Got to the metro station an hour before kick off, and the useless metro's were delayed so i was waiting until 1 o clock for the metro. Missed the first couple of minutes of the match, and there was no scarfs left. I've got my scarf from Shearer's testimonial so i'm ok. Would have been nice to get the different ones they were giving out on Sunday though.

Thats the one. Would look class framed.

Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, so feel free to move it. I was just wondering if anyone knew anywhere in town that sells the picture of O'Brien celebrating before the ball had even hit the back of the new against the mackems? Want it for me wall. Its a long shot, but cheers for any help.

This isn't even a debate

As good a player he is, i think its time we started spending money on players for actual positions we're desperate in, rather than spending half of our budget on any big name available like we usually do.

True, but it's obvious that some people aren't looking at performances, they have their favourite(s) and want them in the team no matter what the evidence. I don't know anyone who despises Parker, tbh. The reason Parker became my favourite was because of his performances though. I don't think we would have done any better in the Premiership if Butt had been in the team instead of Parker. Our problem has been scoring goals, and Butt wouldn't have made that change. Our problem has been our lack of firepower up front, and i fail to see how people don't recognise that. Parker will get you more goals than Butt and Emre put together in a season if he is playing in the role he has played where he is making runs into the box. And anyone can bump this thread at the end of the season if they want. If Parker, Emre and Butt continue to play the amount of games they are playing at the minute, then i bet he scores more goals than both of them. Emre looks great on the eye, but he is never gonna score goals, and he doesn't seem to contribute much else. Parker definitely has a few more goals in him, and if he had someone like Kevin Nolan alongside him then i think everyone would see what a good player he really is.

Let him go IF we have have a replacement lined up. He's certainly not good enough to be a regular starter. People say him and Emre give us a better balance, but thats no reason to keep Butt come January. We should be looking for a better midfielder to go into that team. He's not good enough really. He can do a job for now, but if we get offered money for him, plus get his reported £40,000 of the wage bill, then i think we would be better of getting a midfielder in who actually has something about him. He couldn't lace Parker's boots either tbh. Its funny how Parker seems to take all of the blame for the lack of balance in midfield, but Emre gets none of it. Butt and Emre may be better balanced, but come January we would be a lot better finding an ideal partner for Parker than keeping Butt in there alongside Emre.
