Howay, don't be so harsh. I'm sure they wouldn't have done it unless they needed the dough to keep the server going. When you're as popular as that it can be expensive.

Jeepers. I can only assume they're desperate for the money.

They probably had to release one when they realised no one's buying the disgusting home shirt.

I hope Big Sam calls all players 'tigers' for the rest of the season. Would be amazing! 'Yeah, the new tigers are bonding well with the, um, more established tigers. We've got a good mix. Young and old tigers, that's what you need.' 'What can I say? We had 10 tigers out there playing for the shirt.' 'True enough, Jeff, I'd hoped to get one or two more tigers in before the window shut...'

He-can-do-inch-perfect-rabona-passes-through-midfield.-My-spacebar-is-broken-btw. On Pro Evo?

Think he's a very good keeper, just hasn't had a run of games to get settled.

I'd love to hear it. Any chance we can get a karaoke-style version of it with you doing your best Jamaican, mon, accent?

I know Lampard gets knocked--wrongly, imo--for being hubby but, by Christ, he was a fat little bastard back in the day.

He was awesome. I remember everyone raving about him after that, thinking he'd really push on. Excellent display from him the whole match, up front by himself.

Well, 2/15 off the bench as Eyeball says vs Valarenga and 10 from 26 starts. Including intertoto and the like.

I do normally, tbh. I was quoting all matches, there. It's really 2 in 69 from the bench in Prem matches, and 25 in 93 when starting.

I go with the opposite viewpoint. He's got a few tricks when he has the ball at his feet and he's quite unorthodox and he is more able to utilise that late in the game when there are a few more spaces. For that reason I think he's better suited to making an impact coming off the bench rather than starting. And, all things being equal Viduka would be starting so he would offer something different. I see where you're coming from in that he wouldn't win many headers etc. if balls were being thrown into the box late in the game chasing a winner or equaliser but imo that approach rarely works and often plays into the hands of the opposing defence (it does if that defence is any good anyway). fair enough. It would be interesting to see if there are any stats about his contributions (goals) off the bench compared to when he has had a run in the first team (keefaz?). i would agree that he has a few tricks with the ball at his feet, and is quite orthadox, but to me, he's the type of player who needs 3 shots in a relitively good position to guarentee him scoring 1. He's a good footballer, but imo when you bring someone of the bench they need to have something extra that may have been lacking before (pace, good positioning up front, creativity) which i don't think ameobi has in any great amount. Sorry, mate, just seen this. Boshed something together quick, so it's not gospel, but I get 4 goals from 91 subs appearances, and 41 from 130 starts. Don't have anyt exact times on pitch which would be good. Hmmm...

Aye, you normally get sacked for making up stories in newspapers, like.

Gattuso hasn't changed one bit! He'd still look like that if he had a shave!

I always think Shola's going to come good. I dunno. I've got a soft spot for the lanky spazza.

Oba looks about 103 on your avatar photo.

Not all players see things early. I agree with Sam, really: those are the players you like to see but other players who aren't capable of doing it bring other things to the table.

With Smith up front, you mean?

Looks pretty conclusive, then. Who needs Big Sam, anyway?

Correct.

I'm not sure Duff's all that at left-back. Not as well-suited to full-back as Nobby.

Brilliant work, mate.

Anyone see Sanjeev Bhaskar the other night? Went to wedding in the Punjab whih turned out to be full of Britasians from Wolverhampton and the like, then this fella comes out with a turban and flowing white beard and goes, 'Alreet, lads?' Proper east-end accent.

We have cover for RB coming out our arses, tbh. If we're talking about a natural, dedicated right-back then I'm not sure we'll able to bring in one of sufficient quality to really improve us in the time available. Who knows, though, maybe Sam's got one lined up.

Aye, all the clubs he's talking about are shite, tbh.
