He might take a deal though, 80% of his contract up front and he can fuck off back to where he actually wants to be.

Relegation isn't settled at the end of those games though, what you're talking about is dropping into the bottom three, not relegation. I agree we have to beat Hull to keep the situation from going totally into the shitter, but we do have 5 games after the ones you mentioned, three of which are at home against sides in a similar position as us. By the way, one of the four games you mentioned is against the Spuds, need I say more?

Being fair mate, its easier said than done. Bassong was a real find. Its not easy to find players with potential like his for so cheap unless you are willing to raid relegated sides. While I do however agree in principal trophy signings like Owen should be stopped and we should go for a younger approach. The term trophy signing is such a cliché, especially when it comes to someone like Owen. Although at the time I would have rather had Anelka. Ok then, players with a high reputation. More established players like Owen, players whoare considered top quality and cost a hell of a lot because of it. I think you need to strike a balance though. You can't just bring in a team full of cheap talent from abroad. You need established quality players in the mixer as well. It's going to be some time before we sign a player of Owen's ability again though. I'd much rather have a player of a bit lower ability who actually plays games.

We've beaten the Spuds the last six times we've played them in the league, so we have to consider that a very winnable game.

Mmm, smells like poor judgment to me... Bad judgment is a massive understatement Even in the past when he has had some poor performances he's always looked like a quality player finding his feet to me. Can't believe anyone would want him sold even before his recent performances

I can see us beating those teams as well, but we can't afford to go into those three games needing to win. IMO we need at least another 10 points to stay up. Which is why we have to beat Hull!

Works his arse off and is neat and tidy and can beat players quit, but rarely assists and even more rarely scores. Pretty similar iyam. Yeah if you completely ignore one of Jonas's best attributes you can make him sound the same as Park, again they aren't similar players though.

Like Jonas but without the ability to beat a player?

He's nowt like Jonas! I agree with the op, he's a nothing player, a good engine is about all he has.

Should be 2:0!

Not quite the best team they could have put out, but still light years ahead of what we've got available. You never know though

Because he's 30 and not the player he used to be, he's hardly too big for us like

Are you joking?

Is there anywhere on the net that has last seasons table at different times of the year?

Hull have 2 points from there last 10 games, if they lose to Fulham tomorrow that'll be 2 from 11. We better fucking not lose against them!

this is what i don't get - what do you think we're looking at on our current form, out of interest? Well, it puts us above all three of those teams at the end of the season.

Manure win

Not that amazing considering they've got a fully fit side and Manure have rested a lot of their better players.

I hope so! Also hope Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani, Ferdinand, Vidic and a few others (and the entire Spuds side) break their legs. ... they'd probably still beat us even on crutches. Nah, they wouldn't

This is the real problem at the moment, not the fact that the team is shit. When we have these ugly, winner takes all battles against Hull, Pompey and Boro it will come down to character and commitment. And I'm worried they will want it more. When the pressure is on, these guys fold. They didn't fold against Bolton, they never opened in the first place. Due to the shocking shit we have in the team. If we're still as shit with everyone fit THEN it'll come down to who wants it more and we'd be in big trouble.

Ridiculous, someone up there hates us.

To be fair to Lovenkrands he shouldn't have been playing in that position in the first place, he offers nothing there.
