  1. I absolutely despised Nolan earlier in the season, he was literally a fat mess wandering around in the middle of the park looking knackered but because he'd weighed in with some goals, he was being lauded as the best player in the Championship. His only contribution was literally scoing goals, which is all well and good but as a central midfielder in a 4-4-2, a little more is required. However he was in there with Smith, and not Guthrie, and I think that's what annoyed me more - a talented player like Guthrie was being stuck out left or right whilst those two clowns bumbled around in the middle. Guthrie with Nolan has been the catalyst for a great run of form, especially at home, but next season I've no doubt Nolan will be first choice and that worries me a little bit. In a 4-5-1 it isn't really an issue as long as we're not playing the long ball shite (we saw at Leicester just how anonymous that can make him) but in a 4-4-2 he's going to need a real athlete with defensive qualities in there alongside him, and I haven't a clue who we could get to do that.

    Ricardo Rocha. Played for Spurs. I say played, he was there and absolutely gash. Ended up at Pompey on a free transfer, don't think he's the answer. He did have a good game on Sunday though.
  3. What Fulham match? They're not scheduled to play until the weekend
  4. Personally think it's quite smart to go 4-5-1 against a team with 5 in midfield. As Nolan is undroppable in Hughton's eyes, the best solution is to play him off the front man. As Shola caused them problems earlier in the season it's hard to argue with his selection here.
  5. Yeah basically what Raconteur said, they couldn't apply for a European license because they weren't in a position to submit their accounts, which is a requirement of the entry process. Having said that, surely these accounts are submitted for a reason and by the sounds of it there is nothing right at all with them, so maybe they'll get their license rejected anyway.
  6. If there were no boundaries, I really don't see why anyone would want Benitez over Mourinho.
  7. It's a crime, they're really good to watch.
  8. I only listened to the game but Lowes & Ando were slaughtering Enrique first half, yet he's got some 9s on here. What gives?
  9. Still time for WBA to win 3 pens
  10. Sheff Wed trail so Peterbrough's relegation won't be confirmed today as it stands
  11. Dave Bassett snoozing on the job there
  12. Not having to wait up to watch 30 seconds of scabby footage on that abomination of a show.
  13. Looks like that Eoghan (sp?) guy from X Factor
  14. Torres is always either just back from being injured or being rested for a bigger game. It's boring as fuck listening to Benitez's excuses. BBC aren't showing Liverpool first, fucking hell it must be Easter
  15. There's an awful lot of shite in the Premiership, but it's best we don't run before we can walk. There'll be the other 2 promoted teams, Wigan, Wolves, West Ham or Hull, Bolton, Blackburn and maybe even Birmingham down there next season, if we get off to a decent start then maybe set the bar a little higher, but our number 1 priority is survival. However, some smart arse once said: "Reach for the sky and you might at least reach the ceiling, reach for the ceiling and you'll barely get off the ground."
  16. Having seen the goals just now on SSN...is Nolan's an OG? It looks like he scuffs it and it bobbles up and in off their defender
