Another thing: it would be nice to see responsibility fall on the manager's head a bit more in that way, as in "right, we backed you, you've got the squad you wanted, now go and deliver" - although maybe that's their objective these days? Is there any way they could be that clever? Things don't go too well then they are always the ones who get the blame, hence less pressure on the manager and players, "well we could have come 9th if we'd replaced Carroll"... Might be giving them a bit much credit to consider them pulling a Mourinho on everyone though.

Aye. They must be a nightmare to work under at times, but he knew what he was getting into. I just can't wrap my head around a bloke who apparently loves a gamble/splurge in his personal life refusing to even budge a little bit with the football club that he owns. I'm not saying go crazy or anything, but you surely cannot be so fucking rigid with everything all of the time. They could have compromised on one of the many deals that were mooted and saw us with a striker at the end of it. Just hope the squad see us through another spell, like they pretty much did for the entirety of last season.

Balearics. It must require a temporary files job then (it's what I did yesterday and it found the big one again).

This fixed now by the way?

Since all the Scandinavian know-nowts showed up

Simpson left-back? Krul underneath, of course. The positions as you see it from behind the goal. Coloccini plays left centre-back. Always.

Missed pre-season matches, and been fasting during the opening games of the season, still he's better than most DM in the league He's been alright, but the point I was making is that he barely gets a mention these days on here and he totally changed the team when he arrived last season. If he can hit that level again and Cabaye continues to find his feet: oh mercy.

Everyone forgets Tiote these days. He's not even been on form and we've still been winning.

"Sexual chocolate" Agree, btw.

Simpson left-back?

A loss would be poor but I'd take a point, definitely, just to keep the unbeaten run going. I'd take the same at Villa as well to be fair. Another cheeky win would be class mind, because as you say we've got 7 points without doing much fancy stuff so far, which is a positive.

The footage says differently though, he doesn't like to use his left at all from what I've seen of him.

Guthers back this weekend man

Forest sounds ambitious to me, I'm happy enough if he makes a cameo against Blackburn the weekend after. As long as he's starting by the time Spurs come to SJP I'm delighted.

None of them are proven though. We're still worse off after Jose going. /realitycheck

Tavernier, man. Can't forget the Tav. He's my next hope after Ferguson.

Aye, move Ryan Taylor to right-back based on current form and bring Santon into the position where he's supposedly been bought for. Might give Simpson a kick up the arse, like Perch did last season, and we'll soon see him back in the team and performing to standard if he gets his head together. You'd have to suggest Taylor will have a stinker soon enough and the free-kicks will dry up as well. Hopefully he doesn't and they don't, obviously. All the while Fergie is in the background honing his skills. Watching. Waiting. Then no more Danny or Ryan

Fucking guy I loved this as well. Legend.

Updating Plesk knacked it for some reason. Might need to clear the temporary internet file? It's defo back though.

The favicon should be back to normal POOT. It is for me. And yeah, the iPhone image is new. Should have been done a long time ago. Glad you like it mate.

Ah glad somebody else noticed it. No idea why as it's exactly the same image as previously and there's been no code changed. I've just been leaving it to see if it's a cache thing.

Just to keep everyone in the loop, we might be going on and off a bit in the next hour or so. Updating some server components that we don't necessarily need to fully shut down for.

People need to fuck off with this thread title stuff man Best case scenario seems to suggest we might see a brief cameo at home to Blackburn, the reaction should be fantastic for him if that is the case.

Things might be a bit slow for another hour or so as there are still processes ongoing in the background, but the worst is definitely over. Thanks for bearing with us, hopefully it will be worth it.
