  1. Really... 4,000 ? Bloody hell. Capacity 45362 Attendance 41169. I know attendances are down everywhere but some teams tend to escape flak and others get panned for it. Let's see if it's even mentioned eh? You must be wrong. They've got a 326 year waiting list for season tickets. Or maybe none of them could make it because travelling from Oslo & Dublin on a work night is a nightmare.
  2. I'd be happy with that. Liability defensively but decent going forward and has decent delivery which is something we don't have. He's not all that bad defensively. I remember when we played Utd at Goodison the other year and he had Ronaldo in his back pocket. You just need a winger in front that will track back to cover when necessary.
  3. and how has it backfired exactly? Signed for free, been available for nearly every game, played quite well and has now got a minor hamstring injury. Oh noes. Anyway, delighted with our performance on Sunday. Surprised how well we did. Totally bossed the midfield with Arteta playing the holding role to give us a balanced midfield for the first time this season and a first good game from him too. We were on top until we scored and then sat back to see out the game. Spurs put us under some pressure in the last 20mins but nothing too convincing. Jags is just immense . how would you say fellaini is for you? thinking of putting him in fantasy league team. only costs 6.5 He's been hit and miss really. Yesterday was probably his best all-round performance so far, I think he'll get better as the season goes on and he certainly gets himself in goalscoring opportunities which is ideal for a fantasy team. Lien- I never slagged Jagielka but I thought he'd just be a reasonable utility player and nothing more. A young Phil Neville Since getting a regular run at centre half he's been great.
  4. Rumour from someone fairly reliable on bluekipper that yourselves, City and Wigan want Baines. I'd be sad to see him go because he's quality when on form. Moyes hasn't given him a fair crack of the whip at all.

    Is Digard really that good? He was decent against us the other week but I've never really noticed him apart from that

  8. Anyone watch our game last night? Bloody awful. Sick of seeing the most unbalanced midfield in world football trot out and be about as much use as a chocolate teapot every week while our £17m manager just sits there like an idiot.
  9. Harris has talked more than his fair share of crap about Everton as well. My guess is that it's all a PR stunt from both Ashley and Kenwright- get Harris on the payroll, have him run his mouth off in the media every 5mins and make the fans think change at the top is imminent. Therefore, no discontent to deal with.
  10. What an absolutely rubbish, boring match that Spurs game was. Sundays are crap.
  11. I said when I saw SSN when the 5th went in he is gone. It wasn't that long ago him & Aidy Boothroyd were the next best things, I think I believed there hype :-[ Boothroyd still did a great job at Watford. Them selling all his best players and giving him nothing to spend before sacking him at the first sign of trouble doesn't change that. Pardew is a cunt though.
  12. The one from Roma is worth 2million apparently. So no Baptista Could be £2m in loan fees/wages

    Lawrie Sanchez.

    This is why he's on the dole, the school jumper wearing twat.
  14. Barry was ok in the first half but not as good as the commentators made out and not a patch on Carrick. In the second half he was awful and should have been dragged off.
  15. Carrick, Johnson and surprisingly Downing were clearly England's best players. pmsl at ITV's man of the match being Upson. What the fuck was that about? He was competent in defence (not that England had much to do in that department) and uncomfortable in possession. How does the equal MOTM? I thought Gareth Barry was the worst of the outfield players. Absolutely piss poor in the second half. Carson showed exactly why he plays for West Brom.
  16. I forgot about Woodgate. He should be there as well and you're right, Upson is crap. For someone that is supposed to be a master of defensive play Capello doesn't half make some terrible selections in those positions.
  17. Yeah ours wasn't our fault really, the first was but the second was a blatant push. I await to see the comments on the challenge that injured BArton. If your centre half is getting out-muscled with ease by a 3ft tall, lightweight striker then it's a sorry situation. If Cacapa was a racehorse they would have put him down a long time ago.
  18. Absolutely unbelievable that Jags can't get a look in. Lescott has had a nightmare all season but Capello still picks him. Richards has been shite as well and as for this Mancienne... er, wtf? He's never kicked a ball in the top flight. Jags form since last January has been amazing.
  19. The match reports I read sounded like you were crap in Prague? And I remember all the praise after the match was for the keeper. Anyway, great result today. Surprised me, I had Arsenal on my accy.
  20. oldtype, I watched the game in a boozer on County Rd and I'm a bit smashed now. Our fans always travel in good numbers but we're not the loudest, home or away. Absolute daylight robbery to get 3 points, we didn't even deserve a draw. A mad 5 mins and a bit of class from Saha made me a very happy lad.
  21. We've got a great record against West Ham. I fancy a draw though.
  22. Every team has better individuals than they did a few years ago. The standard has got higher as the money has gone up.
  23. They should do it by text. "Hi ken dis is dennis. Can we av delf 4 2m quid?? lol"
  24. Redknapp nonchalantly taps players up in the media on a regular basis and nothing is ever done about it. It's ridiculous. Probably gets away with it because none of his hack mates at the papers will kick up a fuss like they would if other managers did this. Saggy faced cunt.
