Nobody

I don't think he'd go, reckon he's quite commited to us. I'd love for a competent manager to take care of England though, preferably Jose, Lippi or Capello

If this does not mean that the ginger cunt is out of the door, THEN i'll be fucking angry. If he gets sacked, this loss was for a greater good and I'm not too concerned

Pretty sure we won't be paying for Barton if he's jailed like.

Beckham will need a target man to hoof it to though. Put Crouch in there instead of the left striker and you got it!

Yes, I do, tbh. He got 17 last season in shittier team and it being his first season here. I know it was only like 11 in the prem or something like that, but I could see him adding four more goals to that too had he been playing regularly

What does Benjani's celebration mean, btw? Don't get it..

We are so fucked in January if he's not back by then...

Do you reckon he'll play for England on Wednesday and then be out til the WC-qualifiers?

While he should've been banned, the decission from FA is correct. They should not be re-reffere the games, at least not the way the rules are at the moment. Doesn't make the challange any better though

Considering who is playing in that position for england atm, I'd still say he could

Maybe the bullet hit him on it's way back...?

He simply looks disinterested IMO That's absolute rubbish and based on nothing but his reputation. Owen is one of the hardest working players in our team. He was basically the only one still going at the end against Portsmouth, Reading and running everywhere today. Poor against Portsmouth, worse than Martins against Reading, and was he fuck running everywhere today. He just doesn't look like getting us out of the shit at the minute, and his contribution is so reliant on other people its becoming embarrassing. He might've been poor, but he works his arse off though. His attitude on the pitch is spot on and he's not a bad shout for captain IMO. However, loads of truth has been said in this thread, how he needs to take his chances (had Martins missed the same chances, people would be screaming that he's hit & miss) and that our formation and general play is not suited to him.

Cacapa or Roz for me

Derby in another country should be in, tbh.

Unsure on 49, think I have though

On another note, I'm well disappointed with the mods that it took them this long to merge the threads!

emmm, good, his business is our business now, if he's a b****** i want him on the inside of the tent pissing out, all that's needed from him now is some serious investment in players/staff and it'll take a lot to convince me he wasn't manufactured in an 'amazing owner' factory If Carlsberg made owners they'd probably make them like this.

Mike Ashley's black and white army There's only one Mike Ashley! Creative, eh? :parky:

Fucking terrible this is. Even worse now with the riots, let's just hope no one else dies

Don't see too many calling for his head, tbh.

Agree with that.

Much better second half. Still, in a way, I'm happy it's over.

blueyes.gif Smith has had a great game so far, only topped by Faye. We're not out of this, by any stretch of the imagination, but we need to track them down a lot quicker and we also need to find space when we got the ball.

Need to get Geremi on for Barton, he's been terrible! In general, we look nervous as soon as we get the ball and just hoof it forwards.

From the players that have been selected, that's what I hope for. If it was up to me though, I'd have Barton in the middle and Geremi out right instead of Smith.
