I've always preferred Stave Taylor in the centre but at this time he's the best we've got for right-back. I'd like to see him week in week out at RB before I made that call. A couple of flashy runs as a stand-in doesn't qualify him for the accolades in my view. Which accolades? Folk just think he's better than Raylor, Perch and Simpson. based on a couple of barnstorming runs as a fill-in? Well, no. He's a better defender than the lot, and better going forward.

Jonas is going to be useful because of his athleticism and excellent work rate, but a part me looks at him and wishes we had a genuine threat on the LW.

I'm still of the opinion that we're one good player away from having a good chance of surviving, just.

Bad example, given what happened in April.

It's more the fact that people with sense realize that CB is a position that requires a lot of intelligence, and Taylor's about as sharp as a wet sponge. He's also our best RB. Which is probably worth considering.

No way are we signing another right back like. Course we're not, and it's a fucking disgrace. We can only hope that he plays Steven Taylor there.

Out of interest, what was your opinion on Colocinni tonight? The two central defenders were fine. Time and time again Man U broke with balls over the top or low into the channels and Colo dealt with them well.

It's so important we get a RB. Like most wingers, Routledge is suspect defensively and it's absolutely imperative that we get someone with good judgement and tackling ability behind him. Carroll played well, as did Wayne. I was impressed that Hughton took Nolan off. Not that myself and most on here wouldn't have done the same.

The good news tonight is that I made a healthy £206 profit. £20 (free bet) on 3-0 at 7/1. £100 on Man U -1 at 4/6.

The ridiculous nonsense on this forum is astounding. You've even managed to put to shame some of the stupid fuckers sat around me at the game tonight. A few months back, Man U beat Milan 4-0 at Old Trafford, destroyed them in 3rd gear. This is no litmus test whatsoever for individuals players or the the team as a whole.

Certainly looking like it. What with him reconsigning the need for both stability and progression thus providing the funds to not only keep us in the league, but build a good team that will over time achieve success while remaining financially stable. Exactly. Absolutely incredible.

Setting off now, howay the lads! Park the fecking bus!

we have got 4M, ashley is trying to claw back his losses this season No we haven't, we haven't got a pot to piss in, we are skint and still got a huge wage bill to pay for. We wouldn't be scraping around looking at loans and freebies if we money in the bank. Which is why it's imperative that we survive. We aren't going to do that with the current playing staff.

Giles Barnes was 'worth' £4m at one point.

Arsenal are still a fair way behind the top 2. Can only see a 3rd or 4th place finish for them if i'm honest.

I remember Collymore talking about him before the England game. Said he was by far the weakest link in their defence.

A mate I went to uni with lives on Darras Road, never figured out which hoose was Shearer's in all the times I was there. Which is it?

Are you joking? We'd probably get £8-10m from that nutjob.

I explained in 3 posts why I felt I was right, read above, you ignorant nonce. Mancini knows far more than us about Hart, so his opinion is pretty f***ing valid in this case. He has his pick of keepers, moreso than any manager in the world, basically . He's chosen Joe Hart. My arguement was by no means predicated on this point, but it's certainly worth a mention, clearly.

Very good but flawed. Which essentially stopped him from being 'great.'

Thought all my bets had gone to hell, apparently not: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4424/mofoe.jpg Returns £397.

When are Arsenal ever going to learn? Almunia is an absolutely shocking excuse for a keeper.

We just don't have the players for 4-2-3-1. I'd be surprised if we were to play with that system.
