Benzema is on.

If you read my posts you will see that I never denied late season improvement, I remember early season when you were slagging off Ameobi and hoping Best would bring you some goals, I did'nt rate our forwards and we scored one less goal than you, Nolan is a midfield player. I can assure you sir no one here has ever slagged off Ameobi or questioned Alan Smith's goalscoring record.

Good goal.

Real, Barca and AC @ -1

Man Utd game was called off, KSH!

Lot more pessimistic about this fixture than the Chelsea game where I thought we'd get a result. If we cut out defensive errors on the day, hopefully we'll get goals and three points though.

The same BBC that haven't had the rights to the FA Cup since 07/08? Yup, that'd be the one. Ta.

No BBCage?

Seemed like fairly advanced snow warnings this time around - surprised more wasn't done to keep the pitch better protected.

Cheers Sounds like a shite provision though. They should just backdate the adjustment to the original GW when the postponed fixture(s) are finally played.

What happens in the event of a postponement? [/n00b]

For someone who couldn't get a game for Portsmouth? Wake up. You really are clued out. How can you expect to be taken seriously when you know so little. Unless you are a WUM - in which case, well done. I know loads. IIRC, Williamson couldn't get a game at Pompey because his fee would have risen had he played - so they couldn't afford to play him ahead of their impending financial struggles.

Good business on semblance: 1) No chance of leaving on a free at any point in the future 2) Wage (presumably) commensurate with someone who can't think of themselves as demanding an established top-flight CB salary

Did Jara/Tim Cahill get a trial-by-video sentence?

Love your graphs It looks like we're trying to spell something...

If I had a velvet glove, I'd slap you with it and challenge you to a duel. I do think we'll do better than 15th though.

If Ameobi is injured for a while, I could see Nolan being "promoted" to striker with his goalscoring record and Guthrie taking his spot in midfield. Not convinced it'll work, but with Ashley's commitment to spending in question I can't see us bringing in another striker so soon after the purchase of Best.

All depends on injuries etc for me. Still say 6-8th though.

Cups of piss??!

Not that it was ever in doubt, but clearly not a football fan. Edit: Cameron, not you obviously.

Where is Yaya Toure? Missed Stoke game and again now - no apparent injury

Can't think of anyone who has played better than Carroll this season, personally (and I've watched a fair bit of football this season) - closest would be Nasri - but he was out for a few weeks and hasn't been as good IMO.

Just got back from the Emirates - football match wasn't much to write home about, some funny kids ran on the pitch and the stewards fell over trying to get them. The girls were nice. Oh, and Walcott can't score again. Wilshere is ridiculous too.
