First twenty minutes will decide the result, we always seem to be capable in the first twenty then lose control and panic afterwards. If Owen is focused with spagetti coming to see him we might just scrape a draw. I-ll be positive 2 2 draw

It shows Mike Ashley is not the businessman he would like everybody to think he is. For any club to have financial success they need stability first and then a good management team which obviously makes for a good playing team. This is not to be! Joe Kinnear seems to be a decent bloke as was Glenn Roeder, the similarities are there for all to see, came in steadied the boat and avoided relegation. The mistake was made when an extension was offered and here we are again and we all know where it is heading with a sickening apathy and melancholy setting in on us whilst surreal sensations of deja vu sweep through our minds. **vomits**

Ok, so he signs a couple of players in the window for 8 to 10 million, the masses will be placified...It is just the money he got from the Milner sale?? A leopard doesn-t change it-s spots!!!!

Marks out of two... I-d give her one!

sell him for 12 million and we would have our defenders sorted out. Sell zoggy for 6 million and replace with Bullard Sell Shola, Edgar, Smith and Cacapa for 3 million and buy heskey VOILA ICI!!

I think he needs to given a chance to adapt and to get a run of games even if it is just 15 to 20 mins at a time... I would sell Cacapa Smith Shola Edgar Zoggy for around 8 million...

I would go for this ...............Shay................ Taylor....Colo...Bass.....Henry Jonas....Guthrie...Geremi....Duff .........Owen................... ..................RANGER........ Carrol may have the build and gait of a sweaty sock with a penchant for heedbutting that used to play for us, but has about a tenth of the talent and ability. Would rather have the banana man on from the start and surprise those hammers. If ameaba is fit then give him 45 mins to see what part of his schitzo personality turns up....

It will make absolutely no difference whatsoever if he stays or not in the summer as I can-t see ashley splashing the cash to buy the players we desperately need. I aslo think another year with Kinnear would not be a disaster, who are we to want a top class manager? Has anybody noticed that we are a laughing stock, a mid tabkle team at best and the only well regarded sector of our club are us, the fans...

I would take Bullard in an instant, wouldn-t cost too much either. Elano disappears in games too much and is too lightweight for me. I wouldn-t mind Konchesky either, he hasn-t got worse just plays in a crap team (aswell). Bring in heskey for 2 million to accompany owen and we are assured goals. Around 10 to 12 million for this lot. If we can persuade wenger to swap zoggy for walcott then that would be OK aswell...ha...ha

I hope that the press give the same treatment to saint Gerrard if he is found guilty. What-s good for the goose...

8 million and a squad player or player out of favour...YES PLEASE!!

I think that it would be good footballing sense to sell shay for 8 or 9 mill and spend that money wisely on a left back, centre mdfielder and another more flexible defender (right back<centre back). This is if we can persuade harper to sign an extension to his contract...

Shay 7 > Moaning a lot today, can see that he is not a happy bunny! Taylor 5 > Did allright considering that it isn-t his position, needs to overlap with the winger more Coloccini 6 > Plays much better with bassong but his heading ability seems to have been lost completely, all he does now is to compete fro the ball without attempting to head it. It seems to half work? Bassong 8 > What would he be like beside rio ferdinand or john terry? WOW doesn-t bear thought!! Enrique 6> Defended Ok today but his passing was a bit awry until late on in the game. Duff 6> Played decently in the first half and then was double marked in the second. Zoggy 5> didn-t deserve to be on the pitch instead of Jonas Butt 6> Lost his legs after 60 mins, joe needs to realise that we need more impetus in midfield after 60 mins. USE SUBS! Guthrie 7> Very tiday and aggresive, did well today and didn-t stray too many passes Jonas 8> Started off a little shaky but by the 70th minute he was our only real attacking outlet. Manlove declared!!!! Carrol 4> Championship striker. Tough lad but touch doesn-t accompany. get rid. Owen5> Missed a few chances today, one on one aND a few half chances Missed OBA big time today, could have done with both geremi and xisco on for carrol and butt after 70 mins. Sorry, you were crap today joe!!

I thought he was alright for the first 25 mins, then after that, every pass and every attempt to control the ball was gash... Made ameobi look like pele. Big strong lad but doesn-t know how to make it to his advantage?

Do enjoy!!

I thought we played well for 20 minutes and then whenever jonas was given the ball we looked like we might do something. Carrol is crap, sorry but he is. Good in the air? not even that. Why didn-t he bring xisco on? Joe you are crap. Why didn-t he bring on geremi when it was obvious butt couldnt run any more? Joe you pillock

we dominated first twenty minutes and had four clear chances. they have crawled back into game. looks quite even now. Carrol gets into good positions and looks a handful but his touch is like a baby elephants, would like to see him get a hold of this game, their defenders are for the taking... Duff is playing quite well, glad zoggy got taken off, didn-t pass one ball properly!

Has coloccini revealed that he will be leaving in this transfer window aswell? Seems to be the fashion at the moment<>

Get rid, sharpish. Oh dear another deserter... Cheers Ashley!

I also think that if we got 8 million for shay it wouldn-t be a bad deal. We have steve harper who is as good as the secoind tier of goalkeepers in this league. It is a damning statement when one of our longest serving and quite loyal players decides to call it a day, he knows we are going nowhere with ashley at the helm. Happy days ...

We desperately need to add fullbacks and a creative midfielder. wthout these we are funcked! Any other player are bonuses as far as I am concerned. Another striker would be handy, a good one that is...

I feel guilty of man love today... oh well!

On the positive side> a lot of results went our way and there are only 5 points between the bottom nine teams! A long way to go yet!!

He could undo many wrongs this january by splashing out a decent wedge. We desperately need central defender left back athletic defensive midfielder creative midfielder and a couple of prospects... a la bassong!!

No idea...no idea... Please, this bloke is the only decent thing we have in the outfield. Did you all miss the way he repeatedly stole the ball off their attackers once they had got past our defenders? did you all miss the way he held the ball up looking for an outlet whilst being double defended throughout the whole game? did you all miss the 110% effort he put in? did you all miss the way he gliede past their midfielders to find that nobody was available and nobody looking to receive from him??? Unbelievable!
