Mr Logic

I doubt either of them will be seen much next season if at all.

Almost certainly, the bar is not that high.

Sewelly, I was absolutely delighted to see you'd changed that horrendous 'chiken' avatar - and even thought your new one was amusing.... until I suddenly noticed all that may be missing was the Mr.

You do realise what a fucked up statistic that is don't you?

What was wrong with the old thread - locked?

I'm waiting for mimifrench's input.

Nice work guys...

I think so, but wasn't it in close proximity with the word cunt?

Uh-oh!

Why the fuck is he bringing Smith on?

Fuck me,,, 3

Good performance first half. More of the same please.

Lols for the goal.

New strip looks okay.

I, on the other hand, fail to understand why so many are quick to condemn him - like they never made mistakes in their lives? I think he'll make the grade as a player, don't know about as a person but he has time on his side for both.

Pretty much sums it up.

What, sort of like a 'Two Ameobi's, One cup' sort of wild?

Would hope he is offered a new contract in the summer.

Absolutely, he only hints at an exit if that's what you want to read into it...

This is the optimistic thread right? But we still have that crazy owner, Ashley. No telling if he wants to succeed, make money, survive, sell.. everyone has their own ideas on that one. Certainly 4 or 5 players of the right calibre and we should/could be pushing for the European places next season, our biggest problem has been squad depth. Our 1st eleven on paper aren't a million miles away as it is, so a few extra in should provide that boost. Provided we're only losing dross like Loven - if we lose decent players, well, we'll not get anywhere and Ashley will become the most hated owner in the history of football as he'll be perceived as continually shafting us. And that has to be a concern, selling every time someone proves good and doubles/triples there value. See quite a few have Nolan in the core, personally I'd be pretty disappointed if Nolan is a nailed on starter for next season. Goals aside he adds little to midfield duties.

I was at a friendly at Kingston Park, memory a bit foggy, might have been Allardyce's first game in charge?, and he looked the brightest prospect on the pitch to me, raw but always had that hint there was something there. Owen did fuck all same game.

So did the Russian, head in his hands.
