I guess it's due to what team they were expected to play today but it seems they are more or less full strenght...so an away win should be a decent bet there

Off topic but both Tavernier and Edmudsson are in ther starting XI for Gateshead against Kidderminster

Gosling? On loan maybe but when all the players are fit CM is not a priority! A quality winger and a pacey striker should be to partner Big Andy

If he's ever to make it here....Stevenage shouldn't be too much of a test

None of Smith, Xisco or Guthrie has a future at the club so what's the point really playing them? This is a great chance to give a run out for the more promising youngsters like Vuckic, Rangers etc. Sure it's not going to be an easy one if Pardew goes Arsenal like full youth team(what I much doubt though) but I still believe we should win it pretty confortably...I'd like to see something as below Krul Perch Williamson Kadar Ferguson Gosling Vuckic Inman Best Ranger Moyo

Barton's still no winger IMO... he's playing the best football of his career and he's setting-up goals. End of. From set-pieces though...Swap Barton for Nolan and put Jonas on the right wing(or bring in a better one)

Barton's still no winger IMO...

Hodgson's gonna get sacked today!!!!

We're now one of those teams that when it clicks.. it really clicks! But when it doesn't, we're f***ed But the most important thing is that we seem to beat the teams that we should be at the moment! Haven't done that for years either!

Not seeing this on TV but are we actually playing this good or are West Ham just shit?

Has Best scored for us before this? Surely he's off from the transfer list now!

So typical ball watching defending there again!!!! Mark the players not the fucking ball!!!!

Wow....some quality forwards we have there If Carroll would be playing it's 3-0 already

Jason Puncheon has already scored twicea hattrick today for Millwall...wasn't he on Pardew's radar? Also the best player in my current Soton save in FM11 and that's not bad as I have Ranger danger on lona there as well

Max contract lenght which can be offered accoriding to the rules! I thought it was 5 years but I guess that half a yer can be added there to make sure the contract doesn't expire middle of the season. There was some speculation at one point that we would have to like 10 million and now it's 3,5 so which is the truth? I guess 6 million after 25 games was the figure when he first arrived here, right?

Valeri Bojinov would be an ideal partner for Carroll to play up front. Only but there is his kinda journey man history despite his young age...could be something with his personality and I think we have some big egos here already

Well...I didn't expect us to get anything from WHL but the manner of the defeat is very annoying! We're shit going forward and add there a very shaky defence overall. Take Carroll off our squad and what's left?

Not really! Have we had a shot on target lately?

Is it really so hard to follow your man Perch? He's turning his back to Lennon all the time!!!

Exactly! Krul's done a few of those already this season so I'm not that worried about a rare mistake what happened against City

A prime example how not to play from our both CB's there...when they go for the ball they usually miss it and when they decide not to go they'll just back off until the goal line!

Yep...Xisco was Wise's doings but wasn't it under Shepherd's reign in summer 2007 when Souness brought in Smith? :lol: Sorry....Fat Sam

Perch is even worse

Barton was ill and still played so that may be true regarding Guthrie. Any idea when Gosling is available?

We shouldn't be going just defending there! No way we're gonna keep a clean sheet today! It's just one of those games no one expects anything so why not go for it and hit the weakest link of Spurs team! I'm expecting a spirited performance like we've done against all better teams this season and no matter if we lose as it should be an entertaining match anyway!
