Lets be fair if it was blackburn in the champions league final with the club paying the fans to turn up, Ewood park would still be less than half full. Ticket prices should be lower though, especially midweek.

yeah, teach me to not look what im typing whilst looking over my shoulder at work. :'(

Find those two a bit similar personally. They have similar qualities certainly, but Martins is much stronger, holds up the ball better, although Owen isnt that bad at it either. Oba doesnt make the surging runs that Owen does, and isnt the same type of predator in the box. Martis prefers to hang back for the most part. Whether this is preference over experience who knows. Personally I think there are at least as many differences than similarities. I think its Martins relative in experience in not making these runs, holding back and trying to shoot from distance that will make his partnership with Owen work.

Glad we have Oba and Martins tbh. We are way past needing Bellamy, whilst he would be a fine squad player, he would be a luxury signing who would more than likely be more trouble than he is worth.

Emerton is definately in though.

Id say Ferdinand is the back up option if we dont get Davies.. If the money is there I wouldnt rule out bringing them both in should west ham go down and whether WBA go up. Depends on Gooch and whether we ship Bramble out or not. Ship out Bramble and Moore, do whatever you want with Ramage. Ship Edgar and Hunty out on loan. Davies, Gooch, Ferdinand and Taylor is a fine looking CB line up. Would more or less spunk the majority of our summer budget down the drain though.

"a couple of players"? Zoltan Gera? or John Hartson

Until we buy players better and sell off the players worse than a 35 year old Solano we arent in that position.

Aye its a good one, will be good watching.

Doesnt Gaby Yorath/Logan support us? Norman Wisdom Jimmy Nail Sting - When he fancies it. Is Mick Ferry a fan? steve harmison

His arse must be getting real sore from Freddy sticking his fist up it and making him talk.

In the same way ive never heard you speak. I dont go out of my way to listen to his match reports but I have read them. Having friends that are Brighton and Palace fans help fuel the flames.

What the wisp said. Credit to the club and himself. Bar his wifee incidents.

Cant see Distin coming here, he has been touted in our faces the past two transfer windows when we have wanted a CB yet we still dont want him. If Emre does end up staying Id say we have a reasonable chance at getting Tuncay. I dont agree with Bent being the same as Owen/Oba, I think he would add a different dimension to our attack. Whilst he does posess Pace, which links the three of them, Owen and Oba, he is big strong, can hold up the ball and is probably the best out of the three in the air and does well for himself when Charlton play 4-5-1. If anything Bent is more like Ameobi than Owen and Oba. Also dont really agree with the Ashton Negativity, just because he got one bad injury he hasnt got back from yet doesnt make him a crock. Did he have a history of big injuries before? I dont think the pace thing is a problem either, alot of people said the same thing about Kuyt. Neither are snails, Ashton would be a fantastic addition and like Bent would add another dimension to our attack, Even better than Bent in the air and holding up the ball and still young and willing to learn. Cant see either costing any less than £10m though, and if our scouts actually do their job we can do alot more than buy a striker with that kind of money. We should be falling over ourselves to woo Sidwell here...and Tuncay really. Id certainly be happy with Distin here but I think we will get either Davies or Ferdinand instead. Who are both better, if not vastly inexperienced in comparison. If Wigan go down, Baines must be a priority. Bridge, Bale..some LB vastly better than what we have! Id keep Baba on though as second choice. Having chased Viduka and Jarvis in the past I wouldnt be suprised to see us move for them as squad cover also. Luque, Carr and Moore out though..

Wow, my very bad.. Certainly not a big fan of the man though as you might have guessed.

its nice to dream That said Luque, Bramble Carr and Moore are hardly working for peanuts, they would be a significant amount of the wage bill especially Luque. Jarvis wont be on much either, and we certainly want to increase the size of the squad. Emre will be off aswell, which would more than likely rule out Tuncay from coming.

Tuncay Viduka Jarvis Duscher Ben Haim Distin Sidwell At a total cost of nothing.... then spunk whats left on a LB and RB Sell Luque, give Bramble a new contract then sell him,sell Carr, Pattison, Obrien and Moore.

Good god no. Lets see how Reading do next season. See Jewell, but at least Jewell hasnt got anyone relegated from the premiership..yet. Offer Coppell a decent wage for being a club cleaner and he would drop whichever club he manages in an instant. That said he is a southerner through and through dont know if he would want to handle moving too much further than the midlands. If people want coppell, why not look at Moyes, Coleman, Jewell, Pearce et al.. Mediocre coach at best. Personally I think he is detestable.. but he has done well for himself this season.. FINALLY. I guess if Big Sam can do it, why not... cant see him much better than Dave Basset myself.

Shouldnt be played this season, he is far too young. Not to mention Troisi, fatty patty, OB and Carroll are ahead of him should we wish to use any of the younguns this thursday. If anyone Troisi and Carroll should be given some time before lua lua. plenty of time for him in the future, give him the hunger to work harder for another year or so. Will be easier for his ego to grow if he gets played now.

Waiting for Reading to make a complaint after they wound him up at the home game earlier in the season. He is as good as finished here.

Id be delighted if he managed to get anything over 15. Shola still has everything yet to prove when he gets back, we will bring at least one more striker in over the summer aswell.

Given the circumstance of the season Good. I still like the guy, I think few managers if any would have done much better. His repeated quotes about players is starting to get annoying but he is definatley taking the club in the right direction for me if only very slooowwwwlllllllyyy. consistency is the key and i think we should stick by Roeder for another year at least.

Will be a shame but like several people have mentioned. A) He is reasonably easy to replace. B) Was likely to leave in the summer anyways. add that to the fact he regularly picks up injuries and his form is indifferent. It might not turn out for the worst. The one thing about Emre is that he can turn a match on its head, he is a match winner and capable of fantastic things. That part of his game might be harder to replace.

Anything ITV is complete trash. At least with C5 they make no qualms about being Shite. They have built a decent reputation on it

Its annoying because they are both more than capable. Its a confidence issue that we dont need... ...which more than likely wont be helped when N'Zogbia comes back. If he is still stuck in his personal confidence crisis/Second Season Syndrome we wont help heaping all the pressure unto him. Hopefully he will come back recharged and enthused though.
