I must have missed when Obertan has scared the opposition defence, even the free kick he won for our first against WBA was when he bottled a shot and just ran parallel with the box.

Two of those were in two of our easiest home games and he didn't produce a thing, he runs about a bit while doing nothing to add anything to our game.

I haven't said that anywhere, have I?

If something isn't working then it might be a good idea to do something different. We are looking for our first win since the beginning of November and we're now at the end of December. Obertan and Best have done virtually nothing in that time yet once again they are in the starting line up. What have you seen in Best and Obertan that suggests that they are capable of helping us get a result today? Whatever it is, I've missed it.

Best has done nothing really since we played Stoke away and that was at the end of October.

Pardew has no balls, he's going to be under pressure if we don't get a result and it's his own fault.

It is a dream and I think we do have players who could do that.

I couldn't care less about formations, I would love to see us have a team of players who don't stick rigidly to any of them and just adapt to a game.

He was one of only 2 or 3 managers below where Sir Bobby had us in the league when he was sacked. We paid compensation to Blackburn to take a manager off them that they looked like sacking.

He wrecked a very good team and was allowed to almost wreck the club, he was shit and we should have known that before appointing him.

Souness was the worst at doing that, I hated that prick as he was clueless.

Carr was that good Nobby kept him out of the team at right back. I'll never forget him having a hernia operation before Shearer had his yet Shearer was back weeks before Carr and Shearer had a double hernia op to Carr's one.

As a replacement for Nolan, he's a massive upgrade but without the goals.

0-3, Ba, Ba and Ba.

I didn't read it all but not wanting to sit on the bench at Madrid was a stand out.

I bet he only got in for the last 5 minutes.

The French clubs will be shitting in case we take a good player off them and send Obertan in return.

It doesn't look like happening after reading the Chronicle website, it looks like it's: Krul, Simpson, Ryan Taylor, Coloccini, Williamson, Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas, Best, Ba + 1 more which is probably Obertan. It's just a good thing that Bolton probably have nothing too good in the right. Williamson should make a big difference when it comes to defending crosses so we should at least be better at the back. Our problem will be if Demba Ba fails to score, if he doesn't score we're going to struggle because the others don't seem to remember where the goal is.

Our line up will probably decide the result, I know that's fairly obvious. I can't see us getting anything unless we do something other than the expected 11.

All we had to do was keep the manager that got us to that position and not sack him to replace him with a twat. It's strange that Bobby was left struggling for a new centre half and then Souness being given crazy money.

I didn't support it, I would have sacked Carroll. The club made it easy for players like Ranger to do what they want because of what Carroll got away with, if he did break Taylor's jaw, which he probably did do.

He should know better than to come out with that shit, hypocritical bastard.

I didn't deny anything, better?

He brought Shola on My mistake. Could have sworn it was Ben Arfa, maybe I just wanted that switch so badly that I saw it in my mind. It was actually my mistake, Ben Arfa replaced Best.

The people around you are the most fickle in the ground, they slaughtered Robert when he was here.
