Pavel Pogrebnyak - centre forward who plays for Zenit St. Petersburg, joint top scorer in this years UEFA Cup, just breaking onto the int'l scene with the Soviets. Has looked good everytime i've watched him (both for Zenit & Russia). Is 6ft plus, decent movement and 24, could well be worth a bid. EDIT: Prob stay and play CL football with Zenit next season.

Quoted for truth. Needed to score when we were on top and didn't which in the end cost us the match. Desperately need a target man as when Smith came on we lost all shape, impotus, ability to keep the ball upfront, someone to aim for upfront. Whether this is Smiths fault i don't know as he may've instructed to play deep which in my view if he was, was a big error from Keegan. We also need some more pace in midfield. Geremi and Barton altho decent players don't worry opposition defenders and are easily caught up when in space/ away from someone as a result of this we often lose what momentum we've built up and we're definitely a better team when playing at pace. Thought Oba was immense first half although he still needs to look up more but that will come. On a seperate note how the fuck was Mikel not booked, gave away 7 free-kicks yesterday, odious twat that Bennett is.

Got to be gutted if you're a Leicester fan at the Britannia like with all them neanderthal Stoke twats on the pitch

I did until i went there pre-season and saw their attitude towards us coming to town so now i think fuck em. Much prefer Leeds to come up. Bout time the likes of them, Forest, and Wednesday (if they stay up) sorted themselves out and get back in the big time.

Good to see Forest get themselves back in the Championship today. Proper football club back on the up.

Aye, especially for the stick he got at times as well. Typical media portrayal of Newcastle defender/defence being shite. 1995-1997 our defence conceded less than the Man U title winning defences which were so highly though of.

OT/ I always Darren Peacock was criminally underrated during his spell here. Considering he often was our only defender we could've done a lot worse.

Top class isn't he? Although he is quality he hasn't got much competition aside from Warren Barton tbh & Barton was a liability defending towards the end of his spell here. Venison although decent at FB was much better when he was deployed DM and got into the England set up IMO

Given Beye Woodgate Albert Beresford Batty Ginola Lee Robert Beardsley Shearer Subs: Harper, Barton, Ferdinand, Speed, Solano (+ Venison, Cole if 7 )

Duncan Jupp? http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/1525562.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF19390335F8FA9CA92A69CAD4D7DB660D2879930FDCFC4C15FBB

Well done Gateshead, always good to see the local smaller teams doing well like Heed, Blyth and Whitley Bay.

People not wanting Gatusso here are fucking mental. I'd be over the fucking moon if he joined. Superb player and a leader which is exactly what we need in midfield.

How can Sunderland be losing? Jonny Evans is playing and i thought that made them invincable.

5th - Spurs 6th - Villa 7th - Everton 8th - Newcastle 9th - Pompey 10th - Boro

Looks decent but went to floor very easily when they played Rangers, all left foot.

Got to love KK. Love having a manager with a bit of personality and charisma rather than a one that rolls out the standard crap interview after interview.

Ha ha Nacho Novo's Spanish/Glaswegian accent. Love it when foreigners pick up a local accent.

Fair play to them. The Greece of the UEFA Cup.

Depends if Hugo Viana's in the starting line-up. Fair point! I also think Steven Davis has been a revelation since he joined Rangers, might be an astute signing! Looked good at Villa, tbh, but struggled like everyone else at Fulham. Could slot in nicely in Geremi's role. Wouldn't command a big fee/wages either.

Could well be Advocaat v Rangers in the final.

Lombardo played fuck all games FFS. Was gash as player/manager as well i seem to recall.

Butt/Barton Arshavin Silva Owen Viduka Martins As if... Thats a fucking tiny midfield.

scraping the barrell down the bottom of that list aren't they? How the fuck is Cudicini so high? Poor

Fuck clapping Lampard. He is playing for the opposition. We struggle enough to clap our own players nevermind for some cockney wideboy.

Kromkamp plays for PSV
