He was by a whisker (similar with Best when Robinson pulled him down when through in goal in the first half) Literally even, Best's offside was a bit clearer. I think the linesman was just lucky that Ranger really was offside.

On the bright side, Kuqi might get more than 30 seconds of game time in our next game.

Argh, so fustrating. For a player who scores so many goals, why is Nolan so fucking shit at shooting?

It was a pretty good trick to be fair, and he was probably a little spent from getting all the way to their byline 10 seconds ago.

Yeup, it was odd how out of sync the rest of the team was with his dead balls though, some were absolute beauties that no one even got near to.

Holy fuck

cole, evra, clichy, assou-ekotto, Shorey, konchelsky. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh saying Championship standard but I would never put him in the same league as some of the best left backs around europe i.e Fabio Coentrao, Marcelo, Bastos, So... how did you come to the conclusion that all of these players are better than Jose exactly? They don't misplace passes? What are you anyway, one of Ashley's spies? Bet someone's telling Jose to look at this discussion right now, saying "look even the fans hate you now"

Nah man he's gone, the Daily Mail says so. On second thoughts, you might be right! Lots of similarities to the AC transfer here, i.e. transfer rumours popping up in the press from seemingly nowhere.

Moving to Villa wouldn´t be an ambitious move. They wont´be in Europe next season and I can´t see them competing for a champ league place in coming years. Man U, Man C, Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool will take the top 5 guranteed and it will be up to the remaining the teams to fight for the 6-7th place Europa league spots. Think it would be daft to move from a club that you like and are very popular amongst the fans for a possible chance to play in the Europa league in 2 years time. He can do a lot better than Villa. That, and moving to Villa wouldn't help his chances of getting into the national setup in the slightest.

Why shouldn't we move Barton from the right? As things stand we attack down the left twice as much as we do down the right and Barton really is quite one-dimensional as a winger.

Pretty sure the two clubs he means are Lpool and ManU. Rather he went to Man U than those detestable cunts. Barca pls, he'll even be cheap! I don't think I can stand seeing him in another PL side's shirt.

Strikers will always cost more than full-backs. One year left under contract too. Personally, I'd rather have him here another year than the ~10 mil we'd get from selling him.

Well, can't blame Jose if he wants to leave now. He clearly wasn't happy about Hughton getting sacked (evidence on twitter) and Carroll's sale was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. Would a 20m net spend be enough to fix all that? I somehow doubt it.

Bassong rotting(ish) at Spurs Viduka probably dead The heart bleeds N'Zogbia hating Wigan enough to want a move back to us, despite being their star player

How is he not being selected for the national team?

agree about Bentley. wouldnt be surprised if larsson ends up here though. one thing is certain though, barton's better than both. Eh? I thought Bentley did alright, considering that they've shunted him out on the left. Barton wasn't better than him today.

More or less the exact opposite of how he's been playing as of late <_<

Compared to? Its something like 60+% possession to them right now. We've been lucky to hold on to the lead with Jose playing one of his worst halves this season so far.

Tacit? Oh pfft :S

I really can't blame him though.. He said he'll sign as soon as we're safe, which means 2-3 more wins and he's ours for life *clutches straws*.

Not really, given that he usually wins a freekick when he does get taken down and he's 6th in the league for most fouls suffered - the names ahead of him in that list aren't the most illustrious though >_> He's improved since the first half of the season, and yeah our shit strikers couldn't get on the end of most of Enrique's crosses either when he was crossing like David fucking Beckham, so what's wrong with saying that?

Fine, can we have a striker now, with proper grammar and everything?

Technically speaking no-one had end product today >_> Jonas's crossing wasn't bad at all today.

Can has striker now?
