Yeah we should have attacked the shit out of them like. Oh sorry did I just wake up in an alternate universe where there are only two options in Football? Either all out attack or everyone behind the ball, think before you open your trap.. We should have kept tight but at least got a player or two up to support the front man. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from sitting every player in our own half and just waiting for the opposition to attack! The equaliser is almost always inevitable.

Completely and utterly pissed off. A ludicrous penalty, a equally ludicrous red card, the quite sickening defence of the decision from some quarters and finally the decision to sit back and let a team attack us for over 10 minutes that cost us 3 points. Combined its turned what should have been a good night (because I'd have taken that point before the game and thought the overall performance from our players was excellent) into me punching several doors.

Apparently he's playing Ameobi because he wants a big man up front with Martins, yet another manager has to work out the hard way that Shola isn't what he first seems

Martins starts .... wish Ameobi

Because he wants to be even lower in the league?

Are you trying to tell us that a lack of quality players around Owen caused him to get so many injuries?

Phillips will rape us if our only proper left back plays?

Are they fuck! I wouldn't be upset at 0:0 though.

They got a 1:1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge which was a pretty good result.

They'll all cope with it by fucking off for half what the Spuds paid for them. Imagine if we got Modric after all We'll probably get him next summer for £8 million

megalawlz Especially since they paid considerably more then £7 million

You'll want to edit that, its too obvious of a fixture, especially the home and away bits.

Jesus, yeah. Imagine if he'd be in our midfield instead of Nicky Butt. Phew! You could spend a tenner to find an improvement on Nicky Butt, never mind £15m. I'm with Spider here - dodged a bullet i reckon. He might improve, but so far he looks about as suited to the Premiership as Frank Lampard does in an England shirt... I think he'd be a good player in a decent midfield and can still get better. Still, hope the little rat faced boy enjoys the Championship

There midfield isn't good no, just looks better then ours on paper.

I hope they buy more midfielders

Correct me if I'm wrong but only one team has ever survived in the Premiership after having only 2 points after 8 games. Saying they're just in bad form is one thing but what if that form continues? What if they're 10 games into the season with 2 points? Which looks fairly likely to happen. They could then play like a top 10 team for the rest of the season and still get relegated.

It wasn't a hand ball like..

Ah well at least you won't have to change your name

Be careful timmy, you can't mention place names in this forum

They're midfield is the only place were they look better IMO. Put Owen and Martins up front for them and they wouldn't be in the position they are now.

Yeah it would be great for them just saying that there is often a promoted team that surprise teams for a lot longer then a few weeks.

Thing is the promoted teams normally surprise a few for the first couple of weeks but after that fade away badly. They've backed up the win at Arsenal, which is very impressive. Oh they've done extremely well, especially considering some of the opposition. But its not like its an isolated thing for a new team to do this well at this early stage in the season. Reading did something very similar (had around the same amount of points after 8 games I think) ended up finishing 9th. Wigan in there first season had 16 points after 8 games, they even won there next three in a row as well but then lost six in a row and ended and ended up finishing 10th.

From bad to worse to worse for the Spuds EDIT: Or maybe not, hit the post and then the bar!

11 minutes stoppage time!!!!
