Nobody

Most definitely. Not even that ashamed of it either, tbh

This. Oppositions will be shit-scared knowing that we have a Michael Owen on the bench raring to get some goals in.

I have to say, I disagree. People were delighted at his signing - even if were concerned about N'Zogbia's future. It provided strength in depth. He had the full support of the crowd, and the onus was on him to perform. If and when he starts performing, people will lay off him. It's a tough deal, but it's a tough profession! I'm not talking about general assessments. I mean I really can't recall anyone on here during a match/post-match thread or anything like that saying anything positive about his play. I'm talking single passes, decent runs etc. Not a single thing. Because making one good pass per game, but being hideous for the rest of it, deserves no praise. Its praising that kind of woeful underperformance that has lead to people saying Shambles is a decent defender. Or that Milner is a good winger...

aye

Wouldn't worry at all. Wouldn't have made sense if he would've made flips, he just put a penalty away in a non-crucial part of a game. I want him to do the flips when he's scoring important and/or good goals.

Ronaldo just ahead of Drogba

This.

We always play worse against bad teams though. We were never threatened tonight. Martins was terrible though, tough he's never as good with Sibbers as he is with Dyer.

I was like what the fuck is Sibbers doing?! First the flick between the defenders legs, then catching up to the ball before any defenders and calmly went passed the keeper. Had it been Henry it would've been nominated for goal of the month.

He did ever so well before the dive, and I must say, i do not like it when our players dive. Duff had some flashes of brilliance today, and I really hope he can build on that, we would benefit so much from having an in-form Duff.

It's not like we're missing height when Dyer and Martins are playing upfront, is it?

I'm going to SJP to see the Arsenal game at the 9th of April, would love it if he was back by then!

Krul has got the future ahead of him, Harper is at/past his best

Changed my mind: Given Nobby Taylor Gooch Duff Dyer Parker Emre N'Zogbia Martins Owen Krul Moore Butt Babayaro Sibierski

Given Solano Taylor Gooch Babayaro Dyer Parker Emre N'Zogbia Owen Martins Harper Moore Butt Duff Sibierski

This.

Firstly I didn't say anything about learning to score from Berbatov, Martins would do well to learn about movement and awareness from him. He times his runs really well, takes good angles, runs along the backline and nips behind the defence really well from what I've seen. He's a very intelligent footballer. Look at his header that Van Der Saar tipped over, the way he had a little glance back before going in for the ball - he's not just focused in on the ball, he knows what's going on around him and that helps a lot in his positioning and movement, an aspect of his game that is far superior to Martins' in my opinion. If the limit of your understanding of sports is the use of selective statistics may I recommend turning your attention to baseball. It'll suit you better. Very good post mate, your spot on. Berbatov's first touch, control and positioning is second to none. 12 goals this season isnt that bad. To bad he has a load of shite around him and has to do all the work himself. unlike oba

What's that bloke whose name starts with M...? I'm sure there's a player like that at our club.

It's very possible Martins would've never had those chances. I love Oba, but his vision is NOT as good as Bellamy's (combined with his runs, that's his main asset).

record signings? dont think well beat owen for a while, if thats it

Where the fuck is Martins in all these line-ups?

Robinson Neville Terry Woodgate Cole Lennon Gerrard Hargreaves Cole Rooney Owen

Jesus wept! Oba has more muscles in his right thigh than i have in my entire body! :lol:

There you are, feel free to boo him like a pantomime villain and wish both his legs broken to your hearts content. You have his blessing. Quite different from what he has said before.
