Thought it's about time we get a lucky break.

Well the ball wasnt in his control anymore when he was tripped so it wasnt that clear tbh. These days "out of his control" and "off the ball foul" are so hard to distinguish

I think the fact that Adebayor took a swipe and Beye's neck/head area made the ref realise that it wasnt purpose

Simply fantastic tonight. That's enough said.

load of bull. we're expected to beat the top team at the moment. As has been mentioned, our team hasnt gelled, especially the back four, and we dont really have a set formation. As Alan Smith said, one win is ALL we need.

I hope you have a tin hat at the ready for the abuse that is about to come your way............. Try me mate. e-abuse doesn't really affect me.

What is it with all the hatred towards Shola here? May I remind you that at the beginning of last season, and the end of the 2005/06 season, he was our main goalscorer.

If we're lucky we can get 4-3-3 now; Martins, Viduka, Milner/Duff(when he's fit)

Cesc without a shadow of a doubt

My opinion on the matter: It's not really about how big a name he is, it's about the performances he puts in, and so far this season they have been below par. A lot of my mates diss Harper and say he's shite but i think he's quality, didnt deserve to just be ditched like he was.

another bloody advert?

takes the absolute piss doesnt it.

Hope its Cannavaro

Not many mentions of Dyer. Regardless of how much of a tit he is, i think Sam will want to utilise him to his full potential which, as we all know, is very high. I'm guessing we all saw the last 2 England matches. I haven't seen that kind of pace from KD since...well, his early days really.

Btw, what's going on with the Barton deal, has it gone through yet?

Take it he's decided to scarper then

Seems like a stupid reason, but it could be to prevent it rubbing on players nipples?

What i don't get is why Bellamy folds his collar down. He did it for us when we wore the shirt with black collar and blue "Northern Rock" endorsement on it. Love these

He's got 11 goals I understand? quite the achievement.

Just not good enough.

Just read this on SS website, and it shocked me when I first saw the headline, but after reading it, I agree completely with Sparker. I'm actually panicking a lot. Not happy at all. We need results.

As far as I was aware he didn't even stray offside, but i can't remember tbh. But the goal should have stood and that would have made glenny boy think twice about selling him (if he ever was planning to sell him). He'll end up getting cup-tied anyway though with Shola's injury as it is.

Come on folks Ameobi isn't THAT bad :roll:

He is probably thinking "Are they taking a picture of me? Hooray! I do have fans" I agree with your theory actually, I can't find any other decent reason at all.

I'm guessing that against Birmingham, the reason he didn't play was because Owen made it onto the bench, but I have absolutely no idea why he didn't even make the bench vs Chelsea...
