Good lad

Was thinking that too

Yip. Backs off too much in defense though. If he learns how to make a decisive contribution earlier he'll be a top player.

No way of knowing without crystal ball

We must have been watching different games. Perhaps

I genuinely though Nolan was good yesterday. Put himself about, was pretty mobile. Positive contribution despite not scoring.

Nice

Williamson played well and Nolan was really good I thought. All about opinions though I suppose

Back to his best yesterday

Great stuff. Never thought of watching football as collecting data

I've heard of lies, damned lies and statistics, but this is ridiculous - how many decent chances have been created an MISSED ? Also, 2 pens in the Arsenal game, so only 10 on 6 games from open play. Also, how many did we concede playing in those games v Bolton and WBA ? 8, I believe it was..... You can extract anything you like from any period to prove your point but we are living with reality here.. Tiote scored HOW many before last week ? Its not even his job and he won't get many more...how many will Coloccini get and it was his goal that won us a point against Spurs...? We have, as the expert alpal has pointed out, now lost Carroll and he has been replaced by a 34 yr old has been....we are looking at where the goals will come from in the NEXT 6 games, not the past. You had better hope that Best keeps doing it because Ranger and Lovenkrands won't....see yesterday. Needlessly pessimistic view. We should, and will, take excellent heart from a hard fought point yesterday. That we played really well and ought to have won makes it even better. There is no way we are going down. Not sure if you were there yesterday but the performance was light years away from the capitulation in the corresponding fixture in our relegation season. We had strikers then.................

... no they haven't. Simpson hasn't been all that great until the last game and Williamson... just no. I'd put him in the same category as Nolan, they're both limited in their own ways but they both bring something to the team that no one else can (yet). Simpson has been good. Williamson alright, though having a rocky patch of late.

The middle names are great

Or in the circumstances we may have recalled him

return flight to Germany for less than 20 quid and you're laughing

He looked as happy as anyone when the equaliser went in. Good news.

And will will probably not recieve all the Carroll money now... Reckon they will be paid over 3-4-5 years. If there's one thing Ashley's been adamant about it's transfer fees being up front, at least AFAICR. Paying them, not receiving

I'm not sure you're being serious there Shauny lad.

If the issue was Larsson's wage demands, why would we increase our bid to Brum? we're not sure if that was the issue though

Yeap. Probably THE most angry for me for the same reasons. Was just sickening and we never recovered all season long. Arguably we've not recovered since

When did he say this? On the wireless tonight according to a lad doing a precis of the BBC interview on Skunkers

With Gosling out for the forseeaable (Pardew saying he needs an op?) we could do with at leaast one more midfielder

Seemed confident the other day, now it's not healing and new Scandanavian Dr's opinion needed. This seems significantly more bleak.

Partizan for me. Was my first visit to SJP as well

Flipping heck. How are they managing this?
