That dutch guy Van Winkles or whatever his name is instead of Sturridge as our "unproven" youngster?? We 100% need to buy a 26-27 year old striker who knows his stuff and can guarantee us those 15-20 goals per season...

I would perhaps sign Sturridge as the younger promising striker (not likely that chelsea will sell him...) and buy a well respected goal scorer for about 20 million i.e. Defoe, Odemwingie, mario Gomez (bayern), Hulk (porto), Llorente (Bilbao)...etc etc..

GET RID OF LOVEN AND SHOLA LOAN OUT RANGER KEEP BEST BUY 2 NEW STRIKERS I think with Ireland and Benarfa we have good cover for attacking midfield and second striker role. Buying one establish top striker and one younger promising striker would be enough for me. I would sincerely get rid of the whole lot we have and get some new ones in, if we are honest they aren't decent and at best are premiership "plodders".l

1-kill fat boy and sycophants 2-stake burning of sheppard and hall 3-euthanasia for lovenkrands, smith and shola 4-electro shock treatment for ranger

can't see him making it, doesn't help himself with the attitude problems...

Ranger= Joke, could've been two up in first half had he lifted his head. Colo in midfield does not work. Barton for England, onthis showing he's been on the glue or something. Bad miss at end from loven. Trying to look for positives, they didn't looklike scoring either...

Him and Guthrie, no time to "knit", can't see it happening unless we keep all play out wideto jonas andBarton...

Needs to show what he is worth today, no more super sub shlipe, the real stuff please! Would honestly like him to wipe the floorwith thse snide cnuts. Just can't see it happening...

Would like to see Colo in DM role, just to rpove us right or wrong on if he's capable of playing that role. Wouldbe handy if he can given that chieck gets so many suspensions.

Two more points and we're safe. One point and it's squeeky bum time... (sorry for usin Taggart's favoured phrase - yes, the whisky nosed barstweward at Manu!!)

I think thats a decent side today, specially when we have possession. Quite like the three CBs TBH...

Lovencrands to score...obviously!

------------HARPER------------- SIMPS---WILLY--COLO----TAYLS BARTY---GOD---NOLAN--JONAS ---------BESTY---AMEOBI---- RANGER AND SHANE ON FOR 20 MINS..

Boasting rights about anihilating them!!

Millwall, Leeds & Cardiff. The former for great monday morning sun headlines about their "crazy" support and the latter two because I can't stand either of them or their fans.

everyone thinking we'll win, cards stacked in favour of a against all odds everton rout... Pleeease prove me wrong

I like the look of that 3-5-2 formation, specially against the mid-lower table teams. But there is always the risk that it backfires and affects confidence levels so I will begrudgingly stick with our tried and tested 442...

"minimal investment on players with potential that will either be the next tiote or the next nobody" and reselling the Tiotes found the season previously!! I am totally aware of this scenario, but as my fixed text below points out: I am an eternal optimist!!

hear hear! Agree completely, he needs to set a marker this summer (top striker) or everyone will finally know his real intentions i.e. a midtable selling club to recoup his investment

I also think we will see a few of our best players leave this summer. I would assume that when Pardew came he told all of them his new plan and that he wanted to build a great team around this "group of lads", then he goes and sells the "new messiah" to the bin dippin' scallies from the pool. From that point I would assume that all faith that we will progress or that this is something long term for the players where they might achieve their aims has been instantly shot down. Our only hope is that at the start of the summer we buy a top drawer striker to rebuild some of that confidence lost... If not, just watch the Rats (unfair) jump ship!!

Benarfa will be back soon... and if ireland turns out be beanything decent inthe hole...

woah,just out of the scatcher! Thinking about a tinny now making me retch!! Good show!

i SUFFER FROM STOCKHOLM...SH**T! My first thoughts were: You cann't turn down 35 mil! Get another good striker for 20 mil and we'll have another 5-10 to spend (all in summer). After reading the posts I most definitely can say...I NEED A F***ING THERAPIST!

DRIVING THERE IN HIS SUPERSONIC JET? 10 MINS TO WIGAN...

WILL THE REAL NILE RANGER PLEASE STAND UP? PLEASE STAND UP? PLEASE STAND UP?
