Yep, had Lennon in his pocket second half. Aye, said exactly that during the game.

Lennon really has been abysmal.

Aye, it was a foul, but that Drogba thing was nothing. He's clipped him on the shin pad with his studs, in mid air. Get up you fucking ponce.

Looked a definite penalty initially...

And again. Cocking shitfart.

Jenas you lanky piece of fuckwank.

That's hung up on his office door isn't it?

Defoe replaces Malbranque. Motson: "That's an attacker for a midfielder if you like..."

Spurs are taking half an hour to pass it whenever they approach the box. Lennon and Keane are frustrating as hell... take two or three too many touches more than they should. IU really don't see how Lennon is head and shoulders above Milner in the England set-up, the only advanta Another great goal... ge he has over him is his pace. don't see what all the fuss is about tbh. A bit erratic i reckon.

Well, a different colour would be better but other than that it's perfectly fine. Looked smart in the blue imo. I miss the blue. Works well with the black and white i reckon.

What a goal. Ruined by the commentary.

Motson really is cringeworthy isn't he.

Is he on form?

Agreed, and the Northern Rock logo actually looked OK on the shirt; smart and simple. Which is why i'm a bit disappointed they've pointlessly elaborated on it.

you are one very sneaky som of a bitch... in a good way though I thought you already had it.

I don't actually understand why the sponsor design needs to be changed.

Dyer's been paid £80k a week when he's been a million miles away from the first team fold, never mind backup. That's what i mean by us doing so for years. We could and did. Doubt it'd make a major difference now. And i said that he'd still be a key player, which he would be. I would just prefer to see Milner on the right than him. Nevertheless, so long as Dyer's still fit and Roeder's at the helm - he will fit him into the team somehow, even if it meant making the team worse off. Cos Roeder seems to have the nack of not dropping his best players, even if it meant fatally unbalancing the side. But if i was manager, i would prefer him not to be in my starting line-up, though am sure would still get plenty of games due to injuries/inconsistency/his versatility/and being an impact player. Agree with rest of your post.

Is it me, or is the little pinstripe trim that goes up either side and onto the sleeves gold/yellow, or white?

£80k a week for a backup striker is ludicrous, I think we've adapted to suit Dyer's wages after 8 years. It was more ludicrous paying £80k a week for a player who lies on the injury table for 18 months... Still doesn't change the fact that we cannot afford to pay £80,000 every week to a player who will not be considered first choice, whatever way you spin it. Is your general stance that Dyer should not be a first-choice player at all, then? Or should he start ahead of Owen/Martins (if they are ever fit at the same time, that is)? Sorry mate, but we can. And have done for years. I wouldn't have Dyer in my starting line-up when everyone was fit, no. How i see it, and i'm not going to guess new signings, i'd like to see us line-up like this. Given Solano --- Taylor --- Defender --- Defender Milner --- Emre --- Butt --- N'Zogbia Martins --- Owen But then Dyer can fit in anywhere, and we're bound to have injuries so he will still get a lot of games. Wil be a good impact player n'all. He'll still be a key player for us next season if he doesn't get another long term injury, but i think we'd be a better team without him if everyone was fit.

Don't agree with the bulk of your post, him being the right winger. Well what i mean is, i don't think he should be. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it did pan out as you have described. Would make sense aswell, what with Roeder's policy of dropping Milners and N'Zogbias so as not to 'burn them out'. About this... £80k a week for a backup striker is ludicrous, I think we've adapted to suit Dyer's wages after 8 years. It was more ludicrous paying £80k a week for a player who lies on the injury table for 18 months...

I don't follow your criteria... How's that?

Seriously how sad do you think I am, lol. Sad enough to have a laughing smiley and write lol aswell...

What sort of punishment would he have actually got?

All this 'Dyer isn't a striker' stuff is confusing me. Anyone who thinks that this season, he has been more effective as a midfielder than as a striker, is off their head. He's blossomed having advanced. He's far more involved and we're far better with him up there. I think he's more than good enough as a backup striker.

Not seen enough from him in his Toon career tbh, probably best for all parties for him to go. Perhaps. One dent to the squad we could do without, though. Plus i don't think it's largely his fault. We haven't used him properly, except from a little stint where he's played with Butt. Bet he'd be great in a great team.
