Funniest post ever.

I hope not.

He's worth what we paid for him, i reckon. If he develops as he should, being a young player still, his financial value will be immaterial, as we'd be stupid to cash in. If he does not develop, and his inconsistency or issues take a hold, we'd probably end up selling him for half that. And lets face it, we've not got a brilliant management team for developing top players, so its to be hope that his - undoubted - natural ability is enough to see him develop well.

On at least two different levels: hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaaha

2-1. Enough for us to go through.

In relation to the team as we are now, CM or ACM. In relation to NUFC if we were aiming to be genuine contenders for the 5th spot, then looking to push on, then he would have no place. He's fit for purpose at the moment, but he's not a 'great' player - just a decent player in a poor team.

That was genius.

Having a s**** left back behind him doesn't excuse Duff from not doing his job properly. but having one certainly would ease his job considerably Not really. If Duff is incapable of taking the ball past his opponent, how is someone good behind him goign to help? I can see it would improve the service to him, but its not going to make him a good enough winger.

NED3 Polsat Sport TPS Foot Never heard of them, personally.

No good if it's Damien "Get Past No-one" Duff. Having a shite left back behind him doesn't excuse Duff from not doing his job properly.

Given Solano Taylor Bramble Huntington Milner Parker Butt Zog Dyer Martins Not going to get loads of goals, but we only need one, i think. I think we'll score, and go through. Even though we've bene shite away, and only a handful of those players are genuine quality, we'll still have enough to get past these lot.

A well written piece, that. Does anyone know who actually wrote it? Fair play to "Jamo" (snigger) for putting his name at the top of it though.

yet he was there when we were a top 6 side go figure. Your point being? It was despite him, not because of him. He's not good enough to be in a team that achieves and maintains that level. 3 seasons in a row ain't bad. Liek i say, not his doing. He ain't good enough.

I hope they do!

Bramble is a good example of our passing problem. He made ONE good long pass once, and fromthat point thought he coudl do it every time, meaning we lost the ball time and time again, putting more pressure on himself and his team mates. His short passing is usually good, and if he is a good phase of the season, he can start soem decent counter attacks. We are a far better team when we concentrate on intelligent passing rather than trying to pick players out from miles away. Especially when we had Ameobi up front, who is clearly coated in teflon.

I hope Liverpool get knocked out in the next round. It'd be funny if Man utd won it, to see how many FC United fans came back to the fold.

Probably right, ON, but i do hate penalties. Even if its not my team involved in a game, i hate to watch them.

I think we'll score over there, assuming Martins plays, so i think we can go through. They weren't a great team, i don't think, not as good as i was expecting. Clearly at home they are going to be a different prospect, and i fear what they can do to crap like Carr, but its ours to lose now.

He's not good enough to be in a team that achieves and maintains that level. you're a WUM,getting some good bites on this mind aren't you. I'm a WUM? No, i just don't think we should be wanking oursleves off over players who aren't good enough to be in a team at the level i want NUFC to be at. Its accepting that kind of shite that allows dross lilke Ameobi and Carr to step back into our team when they're fit, and drags us down.

Fairly well know, isn't it? We were close to getting him in January, but face stiff competition from the likes of Arsenal for him in the summer. We were linked with him an awful lot on January, in particular. How do we know we were close to getting him? We can't accept the drivel Roeder comes out with. One big fear is that Roeder will think that Shola/Owens/Martins/Sib is good enough.

He is better then Ramage as a back up for sure Is he? For half a season, he's an absolute liability. Absolute shite. ramage is just consistently not-very-good. And cheaper than Bramble.

I think its crap to blame the right footed midfielders. Robert just used to like to moan. Duff has been poor because he's played badly. Don't see how that can be anyone elses fault.

Past it, tbh. Him or us? We've never actually been "it" to be past it.
