Had Sky Sports for over 4 years on Virgin.

It's ignored.

Where's the 4? Albin, Boyd, Macheda & Maynard He said 2 of those were free and another on loan. On an unrelated note, Albin was born on exactly the same day as yours truly, good omen. Good player too.

The key to staying up? A direct, physcial approach.
Ronaldo replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
It would be a mistake to play a direct style, we don't have the players for it. Carroll has his strengths and weaknesses and bringing others into play most certainly isn't one of them, no matter what his fans would like to think. He's an effective player in the box because of his ability at getting above defenders and getting power onto his headers but he isn't a good target man, yet. To base our build-up play around him will end in tears. Really, we just need to find a style and become very proficient with it to the point we can impose it on any team next season. Blackburn have taken points from all of the big 4 at home this season. Birmingham have done exactly the same and could have easily beaten Chelsea, Man City and Man U. With Blackburn it's all about balls into the box, their training sessions must be about as interesting as watching white paint dry. Birmingham have a lot of energetic steel in midfield, sit deep and break in numbers, they're a very difficult team to break down. Either of the above styles won't sit at SJP, we all know a large contingent of fans just won't accept it, especially if it isn't achieving the results because of players being generally unsuited to it, we've all seen it before. Hughton has seen the damage we've done playing 2 wingers and getting as many balls into the box as possible. This needs to be the basis imo, but an effective poacher alongside Carroll is a must if this is to be continued in the big league. -

Take one look at Wigan, they're an absolute shambles of a football club, we should be looking to anihilate teams like that. If we can't, we deserve to be going back to Scunthorpe. -
1 bad game, 5 good ones.

Terry has been solid in the last month.
-
Nah, Terry, Ferdinand and Cole are all brilliant, we don't have to worry about those 3 if fit.
-
David James should be nowhere near the squad at 39. Look what he did at 33.
-
He's done alright this season. Experianced and can still whip in a decent cross. Who else goes with Johnson for you? Richards or Brown.
-
Neville is terrible, man. And one of the hardest players on earth to look at, he'd ruin the entire tournament.
-
Gerrard must play in front of Glenn Johnson. Joe Cole or Adam Johnson on t'other side.
-
We need to give Lampard the free-role and Gerrard something more disciplined, Lampard is easily our best bet for a goal behind Rooney.

How did I know that'd be the first thing i'd hear on that? I keep hearing segments of the song on random clips of our games that Sky put together. Kudos to the composer, Colo must be wondering what the hell's going on half the time.

No. Wasn't good enough when he was here, why should he be good enough now? Agree - headless chicken who has been WELL sussed in the Bundesliga ; wouldn't touch him with a barge-pole. 6 goals in 6 starts, sounds like defenders have had a right laugh with him. Please, do your research instead of just posting the nonsense that lingers inside your head all of the time. Pot calling the kettle black, numpty. If he is so good, why has he only started 6 games? Think before you enter discussions, sonny. Are 25% of your posts about me? Get a fucking life. Never said he was good enough to start, just that there's no substance whatsoever to the claim that he's been well sussed over there.

Certainly be an upgrade on Simpson.

And again.

I think £8m would get him. Then again, i'd probably rather we went for someone else.

No. Wasn't good enough when he was here, why should he be good enough now? He wasn't good enough in his first two seasons?

£10m bid for André-Pierre Gignac.
