Looks like teams have sussed us out, and we dont have plan B. We are a 1 one dimensional team who are above ave, without being brilliant. IF a team nullifies our main way of playing we have nothing else in reply. PLan B is seemingly to get it on carrols head, sadly tho, the crossing just isnt there. Not sure hughton is learning fast enough between games. He seems to be clinging to tactics that worked 6months ago, and doesnt as yet have anything new for this lvl of play. Hes gonna have to create a min of one ofther style of play so we can alternate, and throw teams out of tempo. Far too sterile atmo. Nolan should be used as a 2nd halfsub at home. Ben arfa(starting) off carrolL with jonas starting, and replaced with Ferguson as replacement (he can actually cross).

I would play the full strength team vs arsenal and the youth team vs sunderland. I reckon they can at least draw against mackems, and rub salt into the wounds!!

he did look really tall in one the pics he over 6ft ?

Can see us getting to the final if we dont hit manu or arsenal next round. Problem is if either of those are at wembley, they will field a full strengthside.....splatsville.

why didnt he bring on benarfa @ 80mins and take the game to them? we had to edure 10mins under extreme pressure weird

Anelka, oh dear( hes in my metro fantasy XI so he must be good!

1975 was out last domestic cup win. we won it in 74 too. 2006 out last cup win ofcourse. Only cup i wanna see us win is the uefa cup, very very tough to win that competition. WOuld be an immense achievement!

campbaell admits his addiction...."Ive lifted a few things since then" Probably mostly from the langerie section of Primark.

`here it's just piss vinegar, it stings the eyes` YOu a french student studying in teeside?

This game really is going to expose if hughton is capable of stepping up to this lvl as a manager, sadly i doubt it, but Would luv it. luv it, if he proved me wrong!

2-2

that really is a moment of: reality dawns!

Think ill go to the reserves game thur. chelsea reserves should be half decent. may be a good game?

I vote for Nuking Goodison about 8pm friday, that way we get the game rescheduled.

distin had dodgy game against manu, as highlighted on motd, maybe he is the player to target? we could do something mental..... diamond formation in middle. arfa nolan/ guthrie tiote sub on barton for guthrie as he tends to get tired. Only inc nolan as i dont think hughton will drop him unless hes injured. edit i just remmebered, we got perch in the team who is usefless going forward. SO scrap that (

`An approach for Liverpool striker David N’Gog came to nothing, while Robbie Keane was close to joining from Spurs before deciding to stay and fight for his place at White Hart Lane.` hope keane enjoys warming spurs bench for 3 months. might change his tune by christmas!

`He's one of the most ungainly players you'll ever see` i look worse...a bean pole on speed looks more graceful than i do! whichis why i stick to cricket these days.

given our tactically naiive manager, i am forced to say yes. IF we brought in more experienced manager, i think he could do more with this pile of players. I have no confidence in hughton will learn fast enough to keep us up; the CCC gave us more time to adjust and tbh other teams lack of firepower helped us out alot.

`Sure I read somewhere that Xisco's ban doesn't come into play till Monday, so he'll be available for this one?` am sure the thought of that will have blackpool completely demoralised! they may as well throw the towel in now.

a pc version of the history.... http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Club/History/ClubHistory/0,,10278~2109015,00.html not exactly finished is it? scared of what the boss might say?

nice to see the fat slug exposed some more)

Am going to resist saying 5-0 vs manu, and go with one of my other highlights from that era. ginola goal vs ferenvacos which is probably the best goal i have EVER seen.

to make our french players at home i thought i would post an appropriate link.... http://www.thebodydetoxclinic.co.uk/wb/pages/treatments.php whip round and let em have a free coffee one on the house?

There is no point trying to aim to finish between 8th and 15th. either aim for 5th-7th or aim for 16th. AIming low is risky tho. However 13th is better than 18th !! in reality our attack is just a tad blunt, to finish above 10th ??

It looks like we have gambled our PL survival on this little chap.
