Did anyone that went get caught up in this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/8191833.stm after btw? Police everywhere and massive groups of asians trashing stuff and lobbing bottles everywhere, saw one guy with a kid get hit by a bottle who had come from the match, disgusting. Big groups of people all around the city centre actually running towards where it was all going on no doubt to get involved, police were a bunch of incompetents too which didn't help and made me miss my original train.

Not bad, could have gone either way in the end. Enjoyable game and a decent atmosphere. Would have taken that before hand. We desperately need a striker, Shola is fucking shit, but what's new? Carroll played well but is just a target man, he won't get us the amount of goals required to go up. Beckford in please. Also what. is. the. fucking. point in bringing Ranger on with 90 seconds left? Totally pointless, Jonas should have been brought off with 15 to go as he was fucked, same with Nolan who looked unfit. Harper - Not bad, should have done better with their goal. Krul - Fantastic, saved the point in the end, 3 or 4 brilliant saves, and came out for crosses which relieved the defence. R Taylor - Defending was OK, going forward, shit. S Taylor - Good game from him, heading is still a bit hit and miss, sometimes just nodding it straight down to one of their midfielders which he can't afford to keep doing. Colo - Decent overall, a few scares and didn't look confident with Moore at any stage. Made quite a few interceptions though. Enrique - Played well, passing is still shit, tries to be over elaborate which is fucking frustrating when all he needs to do is pass to feet. Still scared of overlapping too. Duff - Shit, dithers far too long twisting and turning meaning we lose all momentum, GET THE FUCKER IN EARLY MAN. Smith - Did the holding/destroyer job well, looked tired towards the end but had an excellent game overall, at least he doesn't think he's fucking Rivaldo and try to spray 50 yard cross field balls like Butt. MOTM. Nolan - Meh, slow and sluggish but didn't do too badly, got to be dropped for Barton. Jonas - Not great, his crossing is at best, doesn't look confident. Ameobi - Invisible most of the time, clumsy as fuck when he did have it, shooting was shite. A standard Shola game then. Carroll - Battled well but isn't a natural goalscorer, won a lot of headers and put himself about well, needs someone to do some leg work next to him for him to shine but of course Shola won't do that. Barton - Looked fairly bright when he come on, will hopefully start next week instead of Nolan. Ranger - Decent little cameo, nodded one down for Duff but was brought on far too late. WE NEED A STRIKER.

Get in, can't stand Celtic.

Lovely pictures mate.

He's not finished, he's 28!

Call me miserable but I couldn't give a shit if he left either, I'd begin to worry if Barton left. That's about it, Enrique looks like a frightened rabbit most of the time on the field.

From whom? Llambias has already had his chance. Lets say from Moat then. "We had talks but they were giving us nothing and playing hard ball, we met their demands but they hiked the price up 10m at the last minute"

Sweepstake for the denial? Tomorrow at 13.14.

I'd probably finally be over the edge and go on a killing spree before turning the gun on myself, they'd find me naked in a ditch with a Kinnear 4 Ever massive tattoo on my back like a player has on a shirt, and my face would resemble something close to I'd just boo at games. Disgrace.

He doesn't even give 90% he's a fucking lazy twat that never enters the final third of either team. CUNT.

Minutes applause. Silence is much more respectful. Don't buy this "celebration of his life" shit. Can't wait for this now though, got my ticket today, repeat of last season please.

Cos presumably he'll get better service, score more goals, playing better = more likely to be called up Does having better players around you make you a better player? He's still the same footballer that was with us, and Capello isn't really interested in reputation / club you play for. It does if your name is Steven Taylor. I knew this would be bumped btw.

Another 15 pages? Really?

I know fuck all.

Hamann was a brilliant player but has no legs anymore. Would only get him in if either of Smith, Nolan or Butt leave. I'd defo take Camara, Volz, Campbell and Ball.

Shit! Make that Rafa Benitez. (Hopefully).

I'm so glad Barton is still here. There I said it.
