Allardyce would probably come tbh. He knows his abilities, and he knows he'd have an excellent chance of becoming a hero of Sir Bobby's standards. It's more a case of Shepherd sacking Roeder and actually appointing the guy.

West Ham make it 3...

And again.

Maybe if they beat us 6-0. "Freak result"

Doubt he'd get sacked anyway.

yes each place is worth 500,000 ffs We wouldn't move up anyway ffs.

Anyone really that bothered?

Bramble, Gooch, Carr and Pav... eesh. Harper might be alright if he doesn't have to do any kicking. Normally the case, aye.

Bramble, Gooch, Carr and Pav... eesh.

Well considering Vassell had buried his last five...

I can imagine, yeah. If he was going to play the 4-3-1-2, like against Reading, i think he probably would have started Shola. Bramble-Gooch centre-backs Parker-Butt centre-mid Martins misfiring... I think it's going to be very difficult for us to win this game...

Not a cat in hell's chance of us winning, or atleast keeping a clean sheet, with that defense.

Nah not yet... probably will be in about half an hour or so.

Bet you he will, Skirge. That's just what Roeder does. He can't drop some players, so he accomodates them all, and most of the time it isn't beneficial to the team. Like when he plays four centre-midfielders, etc. I think he probably will go for the 4-3-3 type formation.

1 each.

Just watching Footy Focus... City have knicked our scarf idea.

I don't disagree with Roeder - we do need a couple of role models. But your second point is the key one - he really, really hasn't got a clue what he wants, when he wants it, and how to deal with it. And that goes for more than just in the transfer market. That's the worrying thing. Anyhow, he can start with Viduka.

So you KNOW thats why he's not had one? Well, i can't be 100% sure, but nor can you in that respect (unless you have some form of inside knowledge - you might do, i wouldn't know). But that seems the most probable reason. Most probable reason to me says "this is only my opinion", which means there was no need for the cocky "next" you put in your post. Rest assured, there was no cocky element to that in the slightest. It's just that - the question had been asked, then immediately answered* - without debate or anything like that, like on a quiz show - typething. Wasn't trying to sound cocky, i apologise. *Of course, me and Jamie didn't actually know that we were wrong.

if he doesn't leave now,he'll only go when pushed.he'll be here next season which is his testimonial season Ah ok, so it's done in seasons - and not years? Genuine question. August 2007, he'll have been at the club for 10 years... But he'd have to complete next season for it to be 10 full seasons. (I think...) If that's the case, then i am indeed incorrect.

So you KNOW thats why he's not had one? Well, i can't be 100% sure, but nor can you in that respect (unless you have some form of inside knowledge - you might do, i wouldn't know). But that seems the most probable reason.

Why? If we've got any sense, we'll wait until he leaves. Unless we want another non-event like Rob Lee's.

Cocky. Jesus Christ.

Shit!

Paul Robinson? Good try. BUT IT'S NOT THE ONE! Paul Dalglish. If you get that, i'm going to fucking kill you. I meant Dalglish.
