care to ellaborate/link?

Arteta would tear N'Zogbia to shreds. Enrique must start against Everton, he is a left-back and may even be able to judge his compatriot's style of play ... Edgar was thrown in at the deep-end last season tho and did admirally

needs to play in a 4-4-2 to function at his best IMO.

and this has been brought up now why?

Readings defence looking as reliable as a chocolate fireguard it seems, poor goalie as well Hahnemann IMO.

Pompey gonna be struggling (maybe like us) when the African Nations is on looking at their line up

bah! the bassads have changed it just to make my previous post look poor!

Harper looks for players in space, usually without success, Given just kicks it anywhere. Given is usually quite slow in distribution as well id say, compared to say David James or Paul Robinson, and yes Harper looks for people but often doesn't release it. Plus his general attitude towards speeding the game up when we are drawing/behind when he has goal/free kicks is usually non existant.

Would have spending the £6m paid for Smith on a creative player been a good idea? Or spending the £6m on anyone other than Alan Smith, i still for the life of me don't know why we bought him or what purpose he serves.

Arsenal then Chelsea, i think i read, are main matches

Given wasn't brought back straight away though unlike Cech who would be.

good saves not great saves, most competant goalkeepers would've been expected to save what he saved. I'm no fan of Harper but he has done nothing to get dropped aside from general slow approach to anything which infuriates me no end

no need for Jan Molby to be commentating on 5live

'On The Ball City' is supposedly the oldest football chant going.

Arsenal are still yet to lose at the Emirates aren't they? That'd be a nice incentive for the lads to encourage them to win.

Newcastle have a catchment area of N.Tyneside and Northumberland and Gateshead to add to that tho. Most places around B'burn such as Burnley & Accrington have pro teams.

Definitely not, large gaps in Milburn L7 as seen from my seat in the East. Suprised it was that many tbh, looked below 50,000.

No reception during the game and applaud him after. During the time he is on the pitch he is trying to beat us so why cheer him.

Fucking Chris Kirkland and his shit cap, the thing welded to his swede or something, doesn't even look sunny.

it should be the same for home fans though, isn't there a rule that stipulates for home fans in similar seats the same cost has to be incurred?

Anyone who says no is mental tbh.

It would be a joke if we got rid of Shay Given, without him we could well be a Championshit club.

One of the main problems last night i thought was not playing Taylor at centre half, im no big fan of the lad but anyone who knows Derby will know they base there game on early balls upto Howard and playing off the knockdowns and out of all our avail centre halfs Taylor is the most aggressive and therefore would've put Howard under a lot more pressure when going for these balls unlike Cacapa and Rozenhal who are both Ricardo Carvalho type defenders as a opposed to John Terry type in your face to borrow an example from another team, they read the game a lot better and know when to intercept etc not when to knee someone in the back when up for a header. Also Smith was shit, he allegedly can play in a variety of positions but he is shit in all of them unfortunately. A poor/unneccessary signing in my opinion and ive thought that since we bought him. We have enough strikers and Barton is a better version of him in midfield. I understand why Ameobi played last night but his contribution was terrible, for some1 who shud be fighting for their place in the team it was disgusting.The number of needless offsides/fouls he gave away to when in good positions was the sign of a poor player/lack of confidence.

fucking Solano was the one i couldn't get...horrendous

Best game i've been to.
