I watched An Audience with Lennox Lewis a few months back. Fred Elliot was in the audience and asked Don King a question, certainly one of the most random things i've ever seen.

£140K for Joe Cole, they should tell him to fuck off.

you obviously havent seen them play in a while 4 years to be precise.

Where is Khalid Boulahrouz?

Routledge does cross well, to be fair. He occasionally puts in a sweet ball but is very inconsistent with his crossing. There were times during the season season when he was under no pressure at all yet messed his cross up. It was infuriating at times, as it's clear to see he can deliver a good ball but those balls don't come often enough. It's one thing I'd really like him to try and improve on during the summer because it could be invaluable for the team as a whole. Ocassionally is harsh, very harsh. He's an awful lot better at crossing than Jonas, for instance.

Cheats.

No chance of that. Their squad is essentially a seriously dilapidated version of the 2006 lot, with some insignificant additions.

Me too.

Those two are appalling.

He's better, yes. But SWP was never as good as what he was he was made out to be, runs into blind alleys like a regurgitating drunk.

Keegan and Bobby.

Bad manager, good bloke.

There's nobody saying he should be slagging him off. I just don't see the need to imply that he'll be in the team.

A touch of insight might be nice, god knows we get none from anybody else at the club.

I have a lot of time for Gullit.

He's 31 soon, there's a reason it's taken him this long.

Fair enough, I just yearn for a tad of blunt honesty from him at times.

For whom? He hasn't had a previous season in which he's proved himself at top level. He has now of course.

The implications are somewhat worrying from a fan's perspective and it's basically completely unnecessary rubbish.

I agree with that tbh. Except I don't have much faith in Colo - Taylor as a partnership and it may be harsh on Williamson but he has looked very slow at times. Yes, he's the footballing version of Kevin McBride. But he's solid as a squad player.

I think Simpson has probably already figured that one out. Anyway, a new RB is an absolute necessity. Never mind, completely missed the point. And you really think a typical soundbite in the local rag from Hughton is going to encourage Simpson to get lazy? Simpson knows he's first choice, he has been since he was loaned in August/September.

Junkhead is wrong, sadly. What we don't want to do is go into the new season with the most important partnership on the pitch made up of two players who don't know each other. Has to be Colo with Saylor or Williamson. Preferably the former, having watched Mike a bit more closely in the last few games.
