Anyone have a link to a decent Derby or Southampton forum?

Good news. Now let's hope he's given full control, time and support from Shepherd.

Is Shinawatra not set to take you over? I thought he wanted a 'top European manager'?

You think we should get rid of Owen because he's white...?

West Ham are safe. 0-1 FT. Sheffield must score to stay up... It's all over: Sheffield United are relegated.

Blackburn 3-3 Reading. Gunnarsson. Bolton 2-2 Aston Villa. Moore.

Well, if you insist on playing a talentless, overweight, headless chicken...

Heskey has been knocked unconscious. Edit: Looks like he'll be able to continue, has been very good today apparently.

Webber hits the post for Sheffield United. Blackburn 2-2 Reading. Doyle.

How can any football fan prefer Wigan to be in the Premieship than West Ham?

Pen to Wigan! Sheffield Utd 1-2 Wigan. Unsworth. Graham Taylor: 'He may be overweight, he may be slow, but he knows how to take penalties..'

Sheff Utd 1-1 Wigan. Stead. Bolton 1-1 Aston Villa. Gardner.

Should have been made captain again, tbh. World class.

There's no 'conspiracy', Warnock simply couldn't risk it. If Wigan & West Ham were to score simultaneously, Sheffield United are down £30m. Isn't he supposed to hate Jewell too?

Yeh we shud sgin Karka! Barton although an absolute cunt would improve out team dramatically. Yes, because 'Karka' is the only creative midfielder in the world. I've said i think we should sign Barton, but a midfield pairing of him and Butt doesn't inspire much. Perhaps if we do switch to 4-3-3 they could both fit in, alongside someone else providing the 'spark' we lack.

Don't agree. It seems alot of people don't seem to recognize Joey Barton effectiveness as a forward going midfield player if you look at it statistically he has got 7 goals this season and 5 assists and last season he got 6 goals and 6 assists something this club has lacked for some time since Rob Lee. On your point about helping Obafemi Martins and Michael Owen, Joey Barton can by not only his ability to support the front two with the amount of forward runs he makes but also by providing like he has in the past 5 assists this season and 6 assists last. I agree HTL point about Barton being a better forward going player but thats not our Captain best role his best role is breaking up the play and winning back the ball for the team this is proven by the Opta Stats this season as he has not only had the highest tackling rate this season in the whole of the Premiership but also the 2nd highest tackling success rate in the Premiership. -Back to Joey Barton- the Vital thing if Big Sam does want him is that he can back up signing the bad personality that comes with Joey Barton by getting 3rd, 4th, 5th like Sir Bobby did with the similar personalities in the dressing room (Bellamy), if he can't then signing him could prove to course big problems. I know what Barton is capable of going forward, but he certainly isn't the creative midfielder we're crying out for.

I saw him against Watford this and last season. Way to judge a player who is as solid as Woodgate mackems.gif Jesus you are more of a joke than i 1st thought, well done. Watch a lot of Wigan, do you?

Barton and Parker in midfield together... I'm sure Owen & Martins will be salivating over the prospect. Again, i would like to see him here as a replacement for the captain, not a partner.

FYP. Tevez will be most effective around equally intelligent footballers, not the likes of Obafemi and Shola. We haven't gone and wrote a ridiculously low get out clause in Martins contract as well have we? There's no evidence that we've wrote one in Owen's contract yet. We should accept the first offer that sees us make a profit on Oba either way.

I think he could have been a good option to have in midfield, but i only wanted him as a replacement for Parker, not a partner.

We'll see. I don't think he is good enough, by the way.
