Yorkie

We tried to keep him, he didn't want to stay.

No. Chopra thread #2984 btw.

I'll view it as a failure if we don't finish in the top half, as it all roots back to the summer transfer window. We had a fantastic building block by finishing second, but we did nowt to enhance the strength of the squad, we just weakened it. We were effectively 'doomed' from that point on. Having finished 7th last season with that squad, we should have built on that and pushed on, but effectively we've fallen behind. HOWEVER... It's by no means over yet... We've got Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all to play - all at home. Those are the only games we have against the big three. It's doubtful, but we can certainly make the Top 6. January saw a similar situation to the 'finish 7th-build on squad' failure. We were 11th, and could have built on that and have a greater chance of finishing in the Top 6. But we blew it, again. I have faith though.

No idea how Parker has got in there, either.

Oh God. And Dawson in ahead of Taylor? Fucking daft, tbh. Especially considering McClaren has watched our last million games.

its nice to see some optimism on here! i think he deserves some credit as much as he hacks me off at times. Aye, he did a brilliant job last season, and would have left as a hero. But he stayed on...

Roeder's policy of bringing in younger players is spot on. He needs to enforce it, though.

Only reason i'm glad we didn't get a striker. Dyer---Martins.

Pitiful.

Helluva finish from Sib.

Absolutely disgraceful to be quite honest.

Think about the short term tbh... We must get a good result at Fulham. A draw probably wouldn't be the end of the world because Spurs have Man Utd at home. I'm not sure who their game in hand is against, though.

Meh... i'd heard of it. Barely looked at it, though.

They've used it to get people coming on their shit site by saying 'More to follow'... That page won't be updated till tomorrow morning.

I don't care how many people i have to 'internet bully'... text talk is fucking annoying and anything that grinds it out of the forum community, is a good thing.

LOL HAV WE!!! MINTD!!! shut the fuck up and i didn't even use capitals you retarded piece of shite

You're full of shit mate. Total tripe, mate.

... He says 30 minutes into the argument.

Nufc4life you're such a tit mate. Absolutely ecstatic to get those three points. We might have played shit, i didn't see the match, but to win 3-1 while playing badly - with our defense - that's pretty impressive is it not? 9th place. We've GOT to push on from here.

That was a fucking long second half.

We won't get Piguionne then and we're not gonna get Babel. Cole/Fowler/type sounds more and more realistic.

Being perfectly honest, at this stage, i wouldn't be in the slightest bit disappointed if we signed Andy Cole. He'd fit in well with the side, and with the club in general, he'd get games - and he's a proven goalscorer. He's scored a couple of goals for Pompey this season, despite hardly ever playing, and his goals have been typical predator, centre-forward goals. He's a presence in the box and he'd do a job for us. Wouldn't say no to him on loan.

When's the last time Yorkie exaggerated anything? Yi wat?

Slight exaggeration, mate. And i meant in our price range. I ain't heard a rumour of his departure that is mooted to be over £3m. I've seen him play a few times, actually, and i follow Derby as my 'second team'.

Don't quite understand why it's so hilarious, tbh.
