To be fair to Jon, he's probably just seen your photograph and put 2 and 2 together.

What did you say during the first 30 years?

Ah, the upside-down christmas tree formation.

I'm not too sure people think the speculation is true, you can still comment about something that will probably not happen.

Great, isn't it.

Play 4-5-1 and we might as well not turn up, they'll be at us for the full 90 minutes.

None of the above.

To be fair to Knightrider, he does have a disclaimer, he means the mismanaged club that we have become/returned to.

It's in your head you mong, you were thinking it. bluebiggrin.gif Thank you, thats all I wanted, an answer! I'm just glad that I could help.

If we don't buy a forward and Martins gets injured then the board are wide open to criticism, they are the ones who splashed £17million on an injury prone Owen, they are the ones who splashed £8million on Boumsong, they are the ones who splashed £9.5million on Luque who currently rots in the reserves And before the managers get the blame for this, they appointed the managers and they signed the cheques. You reap what you sow.

He can't use injuries as an excuse, they don't help but he's part of the reason why we've lost our last 2, him and his team selection.

I'd have a "shit attitude" if I was dropped everytime I scored or was the scapegoat for a poor performance.

What you are saying about Luque isn't exactly true, he's both scored and made goals this season when he's been played.

Well said. People may hate Luque beyond belief, but he at least knows how to play out on the left giving us some semblance of balance and would allow us to restore Emre and Butt in the centre which was the combination that was winning us games in the first place. It will be in excusable if he's left out again whilst Parker is shoe horned into midfield and Emre forced to play left wing again to accomodate not only Parker but to keep Luque out of the team at all costs. Put the team first please Roeder. The best run we had under Souness was when the fans started chanting for Robert, Souness had to bring him back because of the pressure, that balanced the team and our game was raised 10 fold, Roeder is doing exactly the same thing now, he has something personal against Luque and we're suffering for it.

Reading scored so we should be able to, our biggest problem is that Man U could take our defence to pieces, Ronaldo will have a field day against that lot. We might be able to reaise our game because of who we'll be playing so it's not all doom and gloom, not quite anyway.

Give up, lifes too short.

So should we just forget the left side and play everybody down the right or through the middle?

Luque is shite, he doesn't have Blackburn form to fall back on.

What he said.

It was the same with the last transfer window, indecision, it's one of his biggest flaws. He's a great bloke but a crap manager, I want him to do well almost as much as I wanted Sir Bobby to do well, I can't see it happening.

Newcastle 5 - 0 Man United. Southampton 6, shit, it does sometimes happen.

We're lucky enough to have a £9.5million left sided player fit and unused, he'll not get a game on Monday though.

Roeder is part of the problem, we do better when he hasn't any decisions to make.
