TRon

we only knocked them back as an encouragment for them to buy in the summer. or come back with a better price.

I don't think we actively want to sell our best players but there's no way we can compete with Chelseas or Liverpools when it comes to wages. If in the summer Chelsea whisper in Tiote's agents ear that they can triple his wages then table a £15million starting bid are we really going to hang onto him?

Seems to be in quite a few news stories if you google for Tiote. I doubt we'll turn down Chelsea's money no object bid in the summer.

Best's close control is surprisingly good...unless you ignore the tits who post on this site. Which I think I will from now on.

Don't think anything can top this considering the blows we've been taking and what we were up against. Still haven't worked out where we got the strength to come back.

This would have been more apt:

I'm pretty sure Shearer and Hughton made the same error in their stints as manager, that's one of the downsides of constantly changing the man at the helm, you are going to see the same mistakes being repeated. I'm not going to carp though I just don't feel like slagging anyone after today.

That should be the name of the official DVD of this match. Like it.

He probably is shit but I can see him getting 3 or 4 more goals for us and if they keep us up I'll be happy enough.

It was "BOOM! BOOM! CHEICK CHEICK THE ROOM!!!" what a spacker loved it

That second half will go down as the 45 mins that saved our season.

I'm glad he scored today because he was getting tremendous flak in the match thread. But he's got balls if nowt else because he didn't hide and kept going for the goal. Important player for us now because he holds the ball up reasonably well. Pleased for the lad.

I think the lads saved him today. He was probably starting to lose some of his swagger but it will be back in spades after this.

we did really, Best scored a perfectly good goal.

Have you changed your mind about the effect the Carroll sale has had on morale yet? Maybe I was wrong. Maybe not

Feel chuffed for the supporters who stuck around to see that.

Hypocritical comment that, considering your slagging off of Nolan. how? he's never rated Nolan and he's always stuck up for Best.

this. Get a grip ffs.

They've all been boosted by signing strikers who are scoring for fun.

For all the slagging he's got Best has still been getting in goal scoring positions.

Ireland if/when he gets fit.

to 10 men are actually making us do the running while they keep the ball.

If I had to put money on who will score the next goal I'd still stick it on Arsenal.
