We won 2-0, easily pleased. If we'd lost 2-0 he'd be getting a dog's abuse. I can't wait for Barton to replace him in the starting Xl.

He's an exceptional goalscorer in this league on the basis of this season. He's still nowhere near good enough for the premier league though.

Leeds now wish they'd taken the £2m. Bates is an absolute joker.

Nolan played well tonight man. They ran circles around him. He made a few blocks here and there but he largely contributed nowt to our attack, his passing was iffy as usual. The rest of the midfield does his work far too often.

Fair play to him. But keeping Nolan on all game when it's clear he's the weakest link is becoming a bit tiresome.

Soaken wet but worth every second. What a signing Routledge was.

God, i'm good.

Strong bench.

I'm not going to read through the entire thread but i'd be surprised if many disagree with that starting Xl.

Jonas and Routledge should (and probably will) swap over frequently.

We better, i've driven 300 miles for this one.

I thought it was just offside.

Perhaps because we're one half of the reason that they're not going up this season. Has to contribute in some way. Fucking Nile Ranger missing that header, we should never have been beaten by them, shower of shite that they are.

Sorry, in no way was he party to that article. Source?

£15m could perhaps get 3 players capable of getting us to mid-table.

Taylor has never convinced me in the premiership, against strikers with clever movement he's an absolute liability. That said, i'd rather go into next season with him at RB than Carroll starting up front.

Newcastle Man City -1 £50 returns £170

Sticking out his chest, delaying tackles to make them look more eye catching, pointing at folk, constantly moaning at the other defenders. To some extent these actions have convinced the media and some of our fans that he's a good premier league CB.

Looks like Taylor is paying the price for pretending that he's been one of our best players all these years whilst the players alongside have taken the fall for him.

Balance? How's that?

He just doesn't give up with it. He's even worse than Oliver.

Is that a joke?

:nope: :nope: Bellamy is a prime example why you shouldn't ship out promising players with a bad attitude, Manchester City's most important player easily. Hughton should/must sort it out behind closed doors. Bellamy was our best player at that time, Carroll so far hasn't proved anything other than he's a decent striker in the championship. As good as he is, Bellamy isn't more important than Tevez btw.

I don't even know where to start, so I wont bother.

Lampard hasn't been anywhere near his best this season either. Chelsea need to replace about 5 or 6 members of the first team.
