He was terrible, (albeit a cult legend) cant see this one happening. We certainly would have heard about it at the time if it was true.

Because we have a shit talentless manager in charge thats been out of the game too long.

Hopefully we can make the most use of him before he leaves in the summer.

rather see lambias and kinnear out the door first, wise has been made a huge scapegoat. That said it might be a decent relief on the wage bill.

funny thing there is no chance we would ever appoint ketsbaia and a slim chance we would even go foreign but we are likely to think about appointing shearer that has no experience at all.

That much your right about! Might well mean he is trying harder though = Getting more cards, giving away more fouls than ever. I'd like to think your feeling was right though, its kinda the same feeling as when you think you will win the lottery.

Will be interesting to see if Smith will displace Butt in the middle there. His long absence has temporarily blinded me to his shitness, to the point I actually think it might be worth trying him in there instead of Butt. I have a horrible feeling Smith is the sort of play Kinnear will "find a spot for". Lets pray he has been somehow cured. Nolan, will need a DM next to him to get forward, JFK has said he bought him to go forward with a DM alongside him. The fact Butt is our best option for that speaks volumes. If S.Taylor isnt getting in the side it might not be a bad option to try him there, I dont think he really has the passing range though. I think Nolan will be captain within a couple of months, if not sooner.

Currently Available: GK: Harper, Krul, Foster RB: R. Taylor CB: S. Taylor, Edgar, Bassong, LB: Enrique RW: Geremi, Lua Lua CM: Nolan, Butt LW: Duff, Jonas CF: Lovenkrands, Ameobi Injuries (taken from Physio Room): A Carroll Ankle/Foot Injury no return date F Coloccini Ankle/Foot Injury no return date M Owen Ankle/Foot Injury 21st Mar 09 J Barton Metatarsal Fracture Apr 09 T Kadar Broken Leg Jun 09 D Guthrie Hamstring Injury 22nd Feb 09 - Reports were he was out for the season though Cacapa Knee Injury 22nd Feb 09 M Viduka Groin Strain 22nd Feb 09 H Beye Knee Injury no return date O Martins Gilmores Groin 7th Feb 09 I Gonzalez Achilles Tendinopathy 14th Mar 09 A Smith Acute Shitness 7th Feb 09 Whilst that looks bleak, the few positive are in the versatility we have in the squad which might at least have players playing in a vaugely familiar role. Smith and Martins should be back soon and hopefully Carrol and Colo will shake off the knocks. Goalkeepers: Harper Krul Foster Harper pbviously first choice, hopefully Krul or Foster can make the step up if the inevitable happens and Harper gets injured. Verdict: Potentially nervous situations ahead but should be covered. RB: R Taylor (S.Taylor, Edgar, Colo) Both Taylors could be important to us here with Beyes return too long away. Colo and Edgar could play there if we were desperate. Verdict: Should be covered here CB: S.Taylor, Bassong, (Colo), Edgar Looking a bit stretched if more than a couple of these pick up knocks or suspensions we are in trouble, A returning Cacapa does little to calm fears, Bassong and Colo will more than likely lead the way if Colo isnt laid out they need to build and solidify their partnership quicker though. Colo especially needs to start leading from the back and talking instead of trying to coast through games. Verdict: Pray for some luck and cohesion in this area. At best we will just make the odd mistake, at worst we are all over the shop LB: Enrique (Bassong, R.Taylor) Who would have thought a third window in a row when LB was one of our top priorities yet it isnt addressed. Enrique will be happy to have the chance to stick two fingers up at his doubters (mainly his boss) and solidify his role beyond this season. Verdict: Short on cover should Enrique get injured again, Bassong or Ryan Taylor could fit in to cover, the question would then be whether we can afford to lose them from elsewhere in the team. RW: Geremi, lua lua (Jonas, R.Taylor, Duff) Strangely the three players who would consider a different position as their best are our best bets for RW. Geremi is largely useless for us now, Lua Lua is untested. Ryan Taylor is very much at home there but might find himself at RB. Jonas and Duff are interchangable. Verdict: Should be covered, but dont be suprised to see alot more of Lua Lua. CM: Nolan, Butt (Geremi, Smith, Colo) Whilst you could argue there is little point thinking the guys in brackets could play there, we may not have a choice. Supsensions or injuries to Butt or Nolan and we are piss weak again. Verdict: Along with the defence our soft centre could well be the cause of our demise. We cannot afford to get Nolan injured and can only hope Guthrie and Barton race back to fitness quicker than expected. LW: Duff, Jonas (R. Taylor, Lovenkrands) Hopefully one of our strongest areas despite the lack of numbers. Verdict: Should be fine, of course now all four players will pick up knocks! CF: Lovenkrands, Ameobi (Martins, Carrol, Smith) The talent upfront is locked away in there apparently, whether we can see it or not who knows. Hopefully Martins gets fit and stays that way. Verdict: A blunt attack but we have bodies, whether that is enough to get us goals we shall see. Overall Verdict The odds are against us, that is a place JFK likes being, but we cant afford any more injuries or gutless performances, I do think with what we have we will see lots of fight but I dont know we will have the talent or end product in equal measure. Going to be a tough run to stay up and we need some big performances from everyone.

Who knew!

must be about time for Sky Sports to go live to SJP to see all the mongs with pitchforks and flaming torches storming the ground.

So would that be Mike Ashley's fault on Dennis Wise's? Edit: I realise it's probably not even true. No would be the fact we bothered giving him a medical when he has been and is out indefinately with a groin strain.

Who says they haven't been trying, to be fair? We're hardly an attractive proposition for most players coming in at the moment, are we? I never said they didnt try, I did say they have failed to rectify the situation. Im sure they are shitting bricks and have been on multiple phones all day. The fact is TRYING isnt good enough right now.

Quite incredible ineptitude to get us into the situation we are currently in. But failing to rectify it in some decent form is just off the fucking chart. Twats. I do however think Citeh have screwed us harder than we have ever been used to.

well at least I wasnt expecting anyone else in. Hope is a completely different matter. We will be lucky to stay up this year that is certain.

Game set match, were fucked!

Set of cunts like they fucking need the money.

Even if we are in for Johnson, City will be putting all their time into getting Santa Cruz, they wont be interested in doing us any favours.

Well some guy had just previously said that Arshavin had got number 15. Would make sense like the Keane deal at spurs as to why we are waiting so late. We might only get them if Arseshaving and Keane goes through in time. That said I'd be hugely shocked if we were in for Bent or Denilson.

Surely he wouldnt pass the medical.. he is out indefinately with a groin strain according to la physio room.

If its work in progress there is cause for optimism we can work something out through the extension.

Fantastic deal for us, a stark contrast to the apparent Given fiasco.

We're signing no one? Rumours not the cold hard facts please. Tsh!

Shame we have a lunchtime detention in a room with a big window to watch the other kids playing outside.

Quick response from Ashley as they are all sat in his boardroom huddled together watching SSN's and eating popcorn. Lambarse - "ooh its so exciting I wonder whats going to happen" Ashley - "Shut it Derek, im trying to listen to see if we sign anyone" JFK - "f***ing, c***ing, bastards" Ashley - "Whats that Joe, you got the drinks and pizza in yet?"

This really! Spurs would have creamed their jeans for Martins.
