Carr will get spat on and Zoggy will ge moaned to death I'm sure The Zog can more than hold his own in that department. And they'll be playing on the opposite sides, anyway.

Very worried about our full-backs in this one, reckon Diouf and Anelka will cause them all sorts of problems.

Niggers you say? Sorry I meant naggers. Actually hurt myself laughing first time I saw that, a moment of pure television genius.

Appalling referee tbh

'People Who Annoy You' The epsidoe is called 'With Apologies to Jesse Jackson'. Get it watched. IMMEDIATELY.

Yes, but we're trying to function in the real world at the moment. Personally think the singing section is a fantastic idea. Though, as someone said, I'd rather a few smaller singing sections than one big fuck-off one. Spread them around, one in each stand. It's a lot easier to sing along with others than it is to start chants yourself. If we had a decent noise coming from a few sections at all times, it would definitely help the rest of the ground to get in the mood for it. Spreading them around would also encourage others to sing better than one big section IMO, as you'd have noise all around the stadium rather than just coming from one stand.

A truly brilliant solution to the problem. http://nufcblog.com/dyer-deal-will-still-be-done-after-clubs-calm-down/ They're offering 6m, we want 8m. So a fee of 7m should keep everyone happy, apparently.

God bless Setanta Ireland.

7th would be my guess. We'll be much improved, but others will too so it won't be easy making the Top 6. It'll be nip and tuck and I can see us finishing anywhere between 5th and 10th very easily, 7th seems a likely outcome.

People having a go. Put him in the squad, give him a run out by all means. Sure he's not ready as an international CB yet, but it's a friendly and he looks a very good prospect. Can't see how it does him any harm, good if he gets the squad. Doubt he'll play anyway, few others still fit who are in line for a look at some point. But a few days with the squad won't do him any harm if he gets called up. Drew a lot of praise in the U-21, think he's got a good chance.

So many spaces, and yet no width.

I've my heart set on this guy at this point. Big hardy, cynical fucker. Reckon if we really want him, we'll get him. His recent quotes are maybe a sign the deal has been in doubt, but I don't believe Sevilla have all of a sudden decided to give him a massively improved offer. Get him signed.

How many CB's are you anticipating we'll need? Enough to keep Ramage out the team. Fair point, better get 3 more just in case. One more would do though, 4 CB's should be enough. I think Huntington and possibly Edgar will have moved ahead of Ramage in the pecking order at CB before long though, so not to worry.

I'm beyond caring about the little bag of shite at this point tbh, at least if he suffers another massive injury in that England game we'll have 8 days to replace him.

Maybe that was the plan at the time. Can't see Rozenhal not starting the first few games, at least until Cacapa is fully fit.

Time has dragged like fuck for me, seemd to take forever. Anyway, ------------------Given Carr --- Taylor --- Rozenhal --- N'Zogbia ----------------- Butt --------- Geremi -- Smith Martins ------------------------ Milner ---------------- Viduka Honestly, if Sam feels Enrique is at all up to it then he might be worth starting as I'd imagine Diouf would cause Zoggy all sorts of problems. Viduka may not be fully fit but should be able to give us 60 minutes, we can bring on Shola then. In favour of a 4-3-3 in general, but particularly this game. Bolton will be well up for it and a midfield 3 of Butt, Geremi and Smith will give us more than enough to stop us being bullied. Harper in for Given, if Shay is injured obviously.

Nowt wrong with the lads comment tbh. Luque does actually have a very good first touch. I tend to forget about Albert but the lad is right in what he says. From what I've seen of Luque, it's above above average but nothing special. His strength is his left foot, which is fantastic. Anyone who think his first touch is better than that of Viduka or Emre is daft in the brain, or blindly pro-Luque, though.

More likely off banging his new wife I reckon, he's a fool if not!!

Any chance of a 'Luque Forum'? We can put all the blindly pro-Luque mongs in there and they can start threads and have their own discussion in there. I reckon they'd all get along famously and really enjoy it.

What he said.

It's an invisible suit... duh.

Generally I agree with most of what you say, but I can't believe this. Owen's first touch is very, very good. He tends to get the ball in and then move it along quickly to someone more likely to create something while spinning away and trying to get himself into a goalscoring position. Rarely loses the ball or has it bounce aimlessly off him as Oba does. Look at him when the ball comes to him in the box. He generally needs one touch to put it in a position where he can have a shot at goal, before defenders get anywhere near him. That he looks like he has a grenade at his feet in general play is moreso to do with the fact that he recognises what his own strengths are, and it isn't picking out incisive passes or running at multiple defenders. Get it to someone who can, rather than fanny about as Martins so often does before losing it.

The only brilliant cross in the entire game came from Geremi. Superlatives are fine but the stronger we become the more his failings will become apparent. Give over. The way he created a half yard of space then put the ball on the far post for Shola/Oba (can't remember who it was) for the header that led to Smith's disallowed goal was brilliant, fabulous cross. I share some of your concerns about Milner, but being so blatantly biased will not help you get your point across at all.

Sounds like bollox, but it'd be quality if true.
