You'd put Taylor up against Lennon? What on earth are you sniffing?

Racist!

West Ham Fulham Bolton Stoke All to win Hull - Sunderland - Draw.

If he hadn't kicked the ground against City we'd be in a lot better position than we are now imo. It's too late now, as it will take him 2/3 games to sharpen up and by that time the season will have finished.

I'm gonna fucking kill the guy if you carry on. Got that?

It doesn't lighten the mood though, because it's annoying.

I'd bring Coloccini back in for this one. Think he'd do a better job on Keane than Edgar would. Would go: -------------------Harper S. Taylor Beye Colo Bassong Guthrie Butt Jonas Duff/Oba Owen Carroll 2-1 United...

He's gangsta though, that's just the way he rolls. Very good.

How hard is it to fake a groin strain? Just hobble about a bit and screw your face up when you walk.

I think i saw Nolan once in the game, when he put a tame header straight into Sorensen's arms. Was wank apart from that, I know he's shit but at least Butt shows for the ball now and again and tries to get things moving. Disgusting signing.

Was counting Carroll as a starter.

This is the way we've played the entire season. So, I ask you, what is the best thing for a team that has not one player that can pick out a past, not one winger that can deliver an awesome cross and a team that's sorely lacking the pace that's needed to rip teams apart and create easy chances? Do you still want Owen playing, jogging around the pitch trying to steal a goal which hasn't looked coming for what, 2 months? Or do you drop him because, however good his finishing is, he just doesn't fit in with the personnel available? We don't create the chances that Owen feeds off. We really don't create any chances, so what I'm saying is drop Owen, put someone in who will contribute to the 'team play', something that Owen apparently doesn't acknowledge this season, and make sure the team plays better because that's the only way the team will be able to get the points needed to survive. Look, one of the truest cliches in football is that if you don't lose the ball, the opposition can't score. So, we need to keep the ball better. Owen doesn't help us do that. We are effectively a 10 man team every minute he's on the pitch. That's why we can't keep possession, that's why we don't stretch teams and because of the constant pressure that our defence is under because the whole team can't keep possession, we conceded more than our fair share of silly goals. Don't disagree with most of that but who else is there? Shola - fucking terrible. Xisco - Dead. Ranger - Honestly?

Nope, think we're in with a good shout for 3 points if we want it enough. They've got nothing to play for and aren't the type of aggressive hoofball cunts that we always wither and die against.

5.

What do you expect Owen to do when the ball is constantly launched up to him and constantly lumped high into the box whenever we get within 40 yards of their goal? I'm sorry but you're fucking off your head if you expect him to do anything against Shawcross and Faye. Wise the fuck up.

Decent point, thought before we'd lose that. Fucking unbelievable header, all the frustration of the game came out when that went in and I got some right funny looks, fuck em Thought we were terrible apart from that, at least that puts to bed any chance of Shola starting again, Carroll totally outshone him in half the time Shola had. Think we've got a much better chance of getting 3 points against Spurs than we did today, for one thing we play better against teams who try to play football and Spurs have nothing to play for now and will hopefully be going through the motions. We were shit today and are still well in the shit but that goal and point is a small beacon of hope and by Christ I'm going to cling onto it.

Shola's gonna get dominated by Shawcross. ffs.

we need to try something different Yes but not by dropping the only pace left in the team

..Edgar, Taylor...

Fucking Butt Nolan AND Guthrie? Duff, Ameobi...

Good grief.

I don't feel very well, and the thought of this game doesn't help.
