Funnily enough not everyone thinks Taylor is s****, personally i don't think there is much between him and Faye, but i'm adging towards the latter at the moment. I'm not saying he's shit, just at times he looks like so much more of a liability. seconded, faye's the superior player at the minute, i'd like to hear a convincing argument stating otherwise

this would be mine but i'd go with duff at home and against the lesser teams

the only thing i've changed my mind on is duff, i thought he was past it but he looks invigorated, its a pleasant surprise. oh and i dont want butt in the starting 11 at all this season, seeing him give the ball away time and time again pre-season hasnt changed my mind at all, just re-inforced the view.

i've read it now. i concur that actions speak louder than words but i cant fault anything he's said there at all. i found the bit where he said 'as kevin will tell you, the game coming up on saturday is just as important as the future' quite telling. my guess is thats had to be emphasised a bit by KK, but fair play, i'm happy with what he's saying, which puts him ahead of the last lot for me for a start, now lets see what he actually does. i'll tell you what though, it certainly beats shepherds foolish bragging to the press. Kenwrights going on SSN saying 'watch this space' Shiniwatra's on the fucking run, we're just getting on with it, thank god.

haha, what the fuck is going on in this thread?

anyone know what the crack is with faye? he's not listed as injured on physio room, has he been training? has KK even mentioned him? is he still alive?

Perhaps I may be too cynical about human beings, however I honestly do not think that the heart of a human being is portrayed by his actions. On the surface, they may want to create a certain image but deep down, that may not be the case. It is not difficult to appear neutral to a person, or be good to a person, yet at the same time, isolate the person using other means. If he manages to get a goal, the team rally around him... but does that not mean that Smith has indeed make a point to prove himself otherwise contrary to his incompetence image, hence it is a form of acknowledgment from the team and the fans. Of course, that same level of competent must be continued over a series of matches, otherwise, the booing may just return. Also, could it not be the team and the fans cheering for the goal and not for Smith himself? It does have a difference, doesn't it? Last but not least, I think it is a bold statement to state that the rest of the team will turn against him, it is safer to state that some will turn against him or isolate him. mate, this is a football forum. there's a philosophy course starting at newcastle college on september 8th that i think you might be interested in, that would be a good place to air your musings. but we're just gonna tell you to shut up and stop booing.

i was

aye waddle can fuck off like

ok thanks guys i'll have a look

where did you lot get your copies from? i'm gonna be around town tomorrow and i'll try and get one from a newsagents or something with it being a sunday, if possible

well, looks like we're gonna have an interesting week ahead whatever happens

where's all this stuff about faye leaving coming from?

Butt was defensively really really good. not really the point, if you give the ball away as much as he does you dont belong in the team

dont think smith on the bench means anything at all tbh

so i take it the mag's in the shops now?

Wonder if NE5 will totally ignore the fact that the owner has clearly said that he will give him money to spend, and it is actually down to Keegan what he spends it on...I'm not holding out much hope. hope? its been a while since we had any hope

Hehe, i knew that would get a response, there is method in my madness though. I think Roy Hodgson is a very good and underated manager, I think they've made a lot of changes and spent the money pretty well this close season (although paying 11 mill for Johnson is a little extreme). I'm possibly overplaying them here but there's always at least one team that hit's heights it was not expected to, and looking around I think Fulham could be that team next year. Oh and thanks for the vote of confidence, I've always appreciated your extremely worthwile contributions to this forum. huge difference between saying i take things people say with a pinch of salt and that i dont think their contributions are worthwhile. there's posters on here who have worthwhile things to say but 90% of the time they talk bollocks, for whatever reason. no offence was intended

i've always taken your posts with a pinch of salt, you've just said fulham are going to finish ahead of us this season, now i just think you're a lunatic

posters like you piss me off more than people who just come on the internet and tell lies. stop thinking you're the one true voice of reason, we've all got bull shit filters aswell you know, its just speculation, why are you so bothered?

shows us the perils of bringing in players on such high wages if nothing else, its hard to get rid of the fuckers if they're motivated by money and not actually playing football

haha, 'another blow'. yeah i bet KK's packing his bags right now, he cant possibly continue. do these idiots actually realise we're laughing at them?

true or not, all these things are totally believably. 1. we want to sell smith. 2. everton dont want to pay him 60,000 a week. 3. he wont take a pay cut

No they are not, copyright and all that. i bet you were a prefect at school
