Funny that he's finally getting plaudits after the past few years, and there's a player more deserving when they finally do

Are there many clubs looking out for a holding midfielder right now?

Sol was much more deserving.

Is that all?

And they still get a bye? That is pretty stupid. You might as well just contest it between the top 2 tiers if you're going to do that.

FFS, can people stop saying stuff like this about all our decent players. This. Getting so fucking old now. This small-time club mentality is being created by our fans on here more than anything. We sold Given and N'Zogbia because they wanted to go. We sold Milner because £12 million was a ridiculous fee for him. The only problem there was it was a shame it wasn't reinvested. Can anyone tell me any other players we've sold because they were in good form and Ashley thought we'd cash in? Fuck me, I understand we're always kind of on the edge of our seats with Ashley, but it's so annoying that our own fans class us as a selling club with absolutely nothing to prove it.

I think we should give him a start tbh. Not ideal, but we clearly havn't got much better options. Let's see how he does.

And once again, we seem to perform as underdogs than the team that should be putting the pressure on.

Close to a year tbf. Considering the circumstances, was as pleased with him yesterday as I was Sol. Obviously different expectations for both of them!

We played them in the 1987 FA Cup? EDIT: Oh no. Now I've posted that, someone over at the SMB board will see it. We're nothing but fairweather fans that know nothing of our history!

Don't get how they book a player pettily for over-exuberant celebrations, but not for pathetic shit like that. Red card offence for dives. Like people say, may damage the game in the short term with all the sending offs. But if refs grow some balls and enforce it, it'll soon leave the game. Just like two footed tackles etc. Punish it consistently, they won't consider it worth the risk.

Would it not be more fun to let her shag your wife though? The money you could make with the movies too...

This. I'd at least give him a spot on the bench if we're not going to loan him out. Give him a few minutes sometime.

Does the Spanish cup have qualifying rounds also? Or is it just for professional league teams? If it's the latter, then that's ridiculous that they get a bye.

You know you're onto a shitter when Ethi agrees with you.

So, basically, he's played well in 2 matches when everything went right for us. Other than that, he's not pulled his weight. Don't see why he should still be in the first team.

Shows how naturally gifted the guy must be. Imagine if we had a top coaching regime for him.

I'm sure in Chris' research he'll learn all about the past. And he'll make sure it's set right.

I'm sure Carroll can take him.

Who would replace him? Can't imagine it being anyone better.

I take it he said that before Bolton? I've got no worries about us getting relegated, but goal difference won't mean much if we do manage to get dragged into it. By the time we've lost the games for us to drop down in the battle, we'll probably have the same kind of goal difference as them.

To be fair, at the 15 game mark, it's spreading out finally. We're 5 points clear of relegation. Maybe not a major amount, but nothing to get worried about just yet.

I love neesy.

Fantastic.

Huh? Desert? Has he already eaten? FFS did I miss it? What did he have? You guys have to keep me up on this shit, man!
