They must have spotted some kid on his own, I'm sure they kicked the shit out of some young lad last time.

It's an axe, if not then it's got to be a reading lamp.

Amazing, I missed it first time around but now that you've mentioned it I'm sure you're right. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5908/bartonaxesk2.th.jpg

See Madras, he's not tetchy.

bet he didn't apply through the proper channels for his ticket. he's done some proper fan out of a ticket for the most sought after away game of the season I think paying £200 million for the pleasure just about makes it OK, anyway he's starting to look more like a proper fan himself.

Blatter is obviously not tactically aware.

My new memory, after watching MOTD is Ashley and his brother dancing, I missed it first time around.

Excellent, at least it's different.

Edit, is N'Zogbia in goal or are we going with 2?

I've just seen it, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a ban for that.

Shearer understands we need width.

We did the right thing for him by letting him go but sometimes you've got to do what's best for the club and not the player.

Jesus wept, they've only been here 6 months.

He scored a cracking goal and was involved with most of the goals, he also hit the woodwork.

He could be but we might have a load of players who have had any confidence which they brought to the club knocked out of them.

It's not rocket science is it?

Taylor went away on loan and worked with Adams, Adams thought Taylor was brilliant for his age. The problem is that since that time Taylor hasn't really developed a great deal and he needs to, he's still got time.

Allardyce can't pick Babayaro, he's injured himself again.

Leaving them out is crazy, how the hell will we ever have a settled team?

I think I disturbed the neighbours when we scored.

Not an easy question, not as good as I first thought he'd be but I don't totally blame him for that having to play with players like Bramble and Boumsong. I think he could still become a full international but he's close to being at a stage in his career where he's got to make an impact at club level like he has done at times in the past. I'm not even sure that he's going to get a regular game for us, if he's not going to get a regular game then I think it would help both him and the club to send him out on loan to play regular football.

I still think that Taylor could become a good player, to do that we'll need a settled defence with him in it and he'll have to forget what's happening regarding his contract, it might help him to ditch his dad when it comes to football.

Agreed, Owen and Viduka would get more out of a game if we tried playing higher up the pitch and got balls into the edge of the box instead of having the two of them playing too deep.
