Nobody

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.

Agree with that on Emre. He really works his socks off all the time.

Aye, too bad that never happens for me, like

I'd never put a bet on a Toon-match. Couldn't bet against us, and if I bet for us, the pain would be even worse if we lost.

How did Dyer do? Sorry if posted, can't be arsed to look through the thread...

Good call. You want your players to kiss the badge, but only if they really love it. If Shearer did it when playing for us, then fine or Gerrard for Liverpool, but it'd just be embarrassing seeing Emre do it. Not having a dig at Emre, by the way. PS. Would love to see Martins kissing the badge in a few years, when he's the best in the world

Great news. If the Nigerian FA tries to do anything now, I hope he refuses to play for them again. Their treatment of him has been terrible. I bet the manager stayed away from him on purpose when Oba tried to contact him. Hope his mom gets better, btw.

I hope this is true.

The way Swedes pronounce Martins. They keep saying "Marrrtinns", as if he was Italian. Of course, I'm not 100% sure it should be Martins, but he's from Nigeria, not Italy FFS!
