Didn't think we played bad enough to be 2 down at half time. Ok we've had nothing upfront bar Fayes header but the kenwood thieves have only had the fluke goal, the good goal and the cheats chance from a free kick really. Hopefully Torres and the cheat will come off and we can keep it to 2 or maybe grab a conslation. Need a good second half to get some confidence for Brum. Martins on for Smith Duff - Geremi - Butt - Zog Oba - Owen

Andy Carroll gets in some practice ahead of his trip to Liverpool

Yeah Liverpool is where his incident occured. He is barred from the city or something. Lucky Joey. Why can't we all be so lucky?

The point he had 9 days? Fuck me. He had half the window. If he didn't know what he was doing he should never have been made manager of a club who desperately needed to sign players. This is what I mean when I talk about people armed with shitloads of hindsight. Its nothing to do with hindsight, i was happy to have KK back as i thought we'd get a good chunk of players in to the club, not just in the summer but in the window. We want 3 players is what we were told all window, i was led to believe we'd get them. Nowt to do with hindsight, everything to do with being let down. absolutely, and didnt' KK say after his first home game in charge that he WOULD bring in 3 players before the end of the deadline. He tried and failed to sign Woodgate, Barnes, Deco and that Croation lad in January. I agree that we could have done with some new players, but it wasn't as if he sat on his hands and let the window flow by whilst doing nowt

Did that back four ever play together btw or had Venison left by the time Barton joined? Its a lot of hair

Was speaking to my boss this week - big mates with Ashleys former chief buyer and knows Mike himself. He's a ManU fan and no reason to make this up, so for what its worth.... The club was bought as MA believes it will be more cost effective over 10-15 years than sponsoring the likes of Blackburn. The aim is to get a 'third party' to replace Northern Rock but if a big enough deal can't be found don't be surprised to see Lonsdale or Sports Direct on the shirts. Redknapp was never offerred the job, but was the front runner before he pulled out. Enrique is happy enough for now, but wants more game time between now and the summer. We approached Deco in Jan for either then or the summer. He has turned us down unless significant names are signed. Keegan has £100m in the summer if he can spend it.

What a challenge by Beattie

Nah. Rob Lee's game was suited to that era where there were less tactical battles in midfield and play was more open and more significantly that team, where as Gerrard is a genuine world-class midfielder at all levels who would get into most sides the world over. For me, until Gerrard does it for England or moves abroad and does it I wouldn't class him as World class at all levels. He's also a snivelling cheating, moaning scally.

Howey > Albert. Fact If it wasn't for injuries Howey had the potential to be one of the best English Centre Backs of the 90's. Shame that he made Woodgate look like fitness personified -
Ashley Cole. If any left back is leaving Chelsea this summer its him

Colos Short and Curlies replied to Crumpy Gunt's topic in Football
Probably because there was nothing he could have done about any of those 3 goals. The only goal yesterday where the keeper could have done better was the first, most keepers would have cut out Ronald's cross, Given once again, seemed rooted and just watched it sail by. I actually thought that Rooney's second was savable. Was at a good height for the keeper, didn't have to stretch up or get down to it. Put it this way David James would have saved it. I'm putting it down to Harper not playing enough football therefore his reactions aren't quite where they should (could?) be. Never understood why he doesn't play for the reserves every now and then just to keep him sharp. -
I wouldn't be against selling anyone to be honest. Some players I rate but we need as clean a slate as humanly possible from the summer and no one has shown themselves to be indespensible this season
