Don't you think he has to partially think that with his quality, if he holds himself into that regard, that he is that a good player to be able to turn it around? If I was him, I'd be kicking myself partially - knowing that had I not had such "horrible luck" with injuries, that I would be a big enough prescence and player to have the club performing differnetly. Not saying he should blame himself, but a player of his apparent "stature" and "class" would have to know that had he not had such a terrible time with injuries, he would have have the club playing better, he would be banging in 20 goals and would be a no-brainer for England. Facts are facts - hes been plagued with injuries, when he gets in the team and has a strong run, he gets goals we start looking better, he gets hurt, he comes back, forced into the team and we stagger b/c he is completely out of the flow of the team. He works himself back in finally, starts scoring again and BAM, hurt again.

Hilarious.

Was nearly in tears with the rush of emotion after he scored the goal to tie the match, if the perfect example of Oba didn't show on the game I don't know what. The harder the chance, the more instinctive he has to be, he rises. The simple stuff, he overthinks? But his celebration and the noise the crowd made (from what I could tell on the TV DVR, had to rewind it a few times to watch it again and hear the noise) was just lovely. That sinking feeling after though, eck...Don't even want to talk about it again. Shola on the pitch - would have burried the pen mind you. but he would have done F all after that.

I won't defend him any longer, he's woeful. To think at the start of the season i thought we had finally shored up our back line.

happened on opening dya, steven taylor comes off for treatment and we let up a goal.

lowest of lows. this is terrible.

I've seen him take pens with his right before, and hes burried them.

he used to crack some curling drives around the top of hte box if I remember correctly with his right foot. Maybe it was the pace behind it? He just seemed to lose ALL of his shooting technique after his injuries.

a fit Torres all season and they'd be top in my opinion.

never see pictures of the lad out with the likes of our chronic partiers

Oba is a champ, love him.

would totally support him staying in a SCOUT capacity only.

I'd rather he had less commitment and more talent. fair play

anyone who questions stevie taylors commitment to the cause should be shot. He may be a right nutjob and sometimes shocking, but he gives it 100% every match and would die for the cause.

I'd like to think Raylor has a knock or was sick and we have him on hte bench knowing he can't go 75+ mins. Best delivery of a ball on our side and the one man who can bag his deliveries in, is starting, Micky O.

And Martins using that logic. There's nothing stopping us selling Ameobi or Carroll this summer, its happened loads in the past, players signing new contracts then leaving at the end of the season. I wouldn't say it's definite that Martins will be here. I'd say it's definite that neither of those two will be sold. Only my opinion obviously and I hope you're right. I'd like to know how our crack recruitment team can't find anyone better than the likes of Ameobi, Carroll and Butt though. Dave, you know the answer to that, they give their all in training!

I'd give up adidas for Nike or Puma only. Can't see adidas even trying to get rid of us, isn't there some stat out there that we are in top 2-3 in shirt sales? Maybe not anymore...? And I'm sure Umbro or Lonsdale have cash to outbid Nike, Puma or Adidas.

agreed, I want to buy that asap...anyone have anymore info?

agreed

The Malaysia shirt in B&W would look mint. Wish we had Nike to be honest.

His lapses of concentration kill me sometimes. Then there are times where hes running to get the ball in the back, does a step over to go outside and in 1 swift motion kicks it back to Harper. He's a ball playing CB, and my word that shot he had woulda tore the net off, he has some technique with playing the long ball and striking... So many times when hes sheilding a man off, he ooozes class with his ball playing ability...He just needs Beye back, and I think the defense will be much stronger...Beye is our best defender by a mile.

I'm of hte school of thought that Oba loves it here.

Like Nike kits, so simple and clean.

Double post... "100's have texted, I'm sorry - Cardiff City is not in the Premier League, hes on loan from some club named Sunderland?.." Haha, the way he said Sunderland cracked me up.

ESPN Radio (in the USA) just mentioned Chops, his breakup story on Facebook and how such an odd story it was... "Plays for Cardiff City in the English Premiership..." sigh.
