Nobody

Regarding Guthrie, it might be a lack of willingness to take responsibility while he's playing next to a more experienced player. Take Butt out of it and that would have to change. subjective call. i'm not so sure he's up to it. It worked well last season with Butt Geremi and Barton in midfield, don't see any reasons why it wouldn't work with Guthrie (better than Geremi), Butt (only slightly worse than Butt six months ago) and Jonas (better than Barton) all seasoned central midfielders 9even geremi had played there plenty) as opposed to guthrie and two more natural and lesser experienced wide players. Butt would still be there. I'd even put Jonas on the bench if we had to play three CMs for this formation to work, with Geremi, Butt and Guthrie in midfield. her being gone is really messing with your brain isn't it ? even in a 3 man midfield i'd have jonas in before guthrie and as i've mentioned the chance of owen and viduka lasting the 90 adequatly we have no need to push the 3 up fronty as of yet. Sorry, I haven't read all the replies, just thought that you missed me suggesting Jonas, Guthrie and Butt.

Me too. But once Viduka gets back to full fitness, which shouldn't be more than a game or two, we should start the three of them. For now, I'd start Owen and Martins and change Zoggy or Duff for Viduka around the 60 minute mark (if we need another goal, obviously)

tricky one though as it needs the midfield to go with it. (see,no jokes or nothing about "when's she back then " or "is she eating for 2" or anything like that) I'm disappointed Guthrie Butt and Jonas would do me for a midfield three while Barton is out, tbh.

So that's both Owen and Martins now saying we should play with our three best strikers. Will Kinnear be the only one not to realise that it's the best way to go?

If Stoke are coming to put 11 men behind the ball, we need Viduka to play as much as possible. He's not really a great player anymore, but he's still a great finisher and can always find space for himself to take a shot, and that's what we'll need against a team going for a point. We'll still need Martins and Owen to work some space for him, mind.

What about that Shepherd guy?

Pointless reacting until we know what it was the were chanting. If it was the Mido stuff, not sure how that would stand up with the 'racial chanting' accusation. Have you ever been arrested and subsequently charged with racial chanting by police? I haven't. Morons. What about innocence 'til proven guilty? Also, was the chant "Mido - Paedo"? Watched the game yesterday, thought that I might heard that, wasn't sure though.

But Simon Jordan says we're not!

Shame, he was doing a great job.

Given. Been our player of the season so far as well.

Agree. But so should Martins. And Viduka.

Yet they've scored over 30 goals without any of them for most part of the season.

Well, this is just getting better and better!

Fucking hell!

Disgraceful! True though

Source? Great news if true.

:lol: His English is very good

I thought it was a free kick to Arsenal with Fabregas passing himself before playing the long ball? Either way, looked very dodgy. Still a class goal, wonderful ball and Bendtner did everything right.

Nope. I haven't been on that much though.

It sounds pathetic, but it has actually been keeping me awake/been on my mind all the time. I just want it working smoothly for everyone with no connection errors at all, then I'll be able to relax. At the minute it feels like an unfinished job (which is what it is, really) and I won't be happy until it's done. You're doing a good job mate, we all appreciate it

Do you always speak to your brother when posting?
