I would like to see us bring in a CM, as I've said on this thread already, but LB stands out like a sore thumb to me. I also think you're being incredibly harsh on Butt and Geremi. Enrique is extremely questionable at times (and that's being polite) and if he gets injured there's not any natural cover there at all. Both positions obviously need strengthening, like, along with RB. To buy two central midfielders before a LB (if things worked like that) would be madness though.

Nice! Is quality and everything good? Size okay?

Lots of big talk flying around on here like! I'm willing to bet the standard is going to be utter dogshit.

We're gonna need another keeper seeing how the one in my team was NSG

Eh? Are you joking? I'd say that's probably the weakest part of the entire team, both in terms of numbers AND quality. Speechless.... two words, central midfield. Barton, Butt, Guthrie, Geremi, Gonzalez and N'Zogbia are all players who would call central midfield their preferred position. Then you take into account all of the other players in the squad who have/can play there. Enrique... the player who would call left-back his preferred position. N'Zogbia can play there adequately, Bassong can play there adequately, but that's about it.

Don't think Parks has astroturf, the facilities there were good when it first opened but that's years back now. It's worn these days.

I should add that current times have run it very close though. The club lacks direction now more than I've ever known it to.

Losing at home to Sheff Utd with Rossi and Duff up front is still the worst I've felt in recent times at any one moment.

Problem is that I can't see where that win will come from. Sunday, 21 December 2008 Barclays Premier League Newcastle v Tottenham, 15:00

Man City =

2-1 Villa.

2-2 Liverpool. So predictable Hull would buckle at 2-0 up.

I'm switching on SSN, expect the goals to dry up...

Haven't had a day like this for ages!

1-2 Liverpool. Gerrard.

My decision to bring Agger in for Evra this week (to join Arbeloa in my defence) in the FPL looked bad enough when he didn't start, but now I'm fairly thankful. Still a shite change though.

They need some Alan Smith, badly.

I could see all three happening in all honesty. Upson: Apparently one of WHU's biggest earners, and we all know they're in financial trouble. Warnock: Ince is a twat and if they keep going the way they're going (no win in 10 and Warnock getting played at CM out of position) he might want to leave. Noble: Zola said he didn't want to sell any of his 'key' players - for me that would suggest Upson, Ashton, Bellamy and Green. Noble isn't even a nailed on starter these days and flits from starter to bench. Could easily see him leaving. I don't see why any would sign for us, for starters, and I don't believe we'd have the cash to get 2 of them, let alone 3... then would we pay Upson's wages, etc.? No chance.

Upson, Warnock and Noble would be very good additions to our squad but I couldn't see any of them happening unfortunately.

So studs too? Am I the only Durham Mag making the trip as obv I need to plan journey a little more not driving an all. Aye. I wear blades but plenty of lads on our team wear studs with no complaints.

£5 each. Good point. For some reason I was basing that number on 44 people turning up Forgetting we're not playing Ultras and this is just N-O v N-O

Aye, but you don't need an account to buy stuff, you can just put in your debit/credit card details through PayPal without having to register. This is wrong, sorry. The debit/credit card payments don't have to go through PayPal at all, they go straight to SpreadShirt - and paying with PayPal is an option as well. Nice and easy really. You'll save £4 using the voucher code available in the OP too if you order before December 15th (Monday)!
