If you look at their results, with the exception of the Chelsea game they haven't been embarrassed defensively. I've no idea how good or bad their defence is in truth but it hasn't looked as bad as their midfield whenever i've seen them play. Cana is horribly overhyped.

To say he has been a disgrace, is nothing short of embarrasing TBF. Nolan's attitude has been brilliant and he has brought a dozen goals to the team. To say that he lacks fitness and ability on the ball would be accurate enough but to say he has been a disgrace is laughable. His attitude on the pitch is good. That however, is the easy part.

As i've said, I have zero faith in him to show ruthlessness in addressing the weakest part of the team. Nolan has been a disgrace for most of the season but he's never been dropped and has only been subsituted (that I can remember) once.

Their defence has very rarely been embarrassed this season. Their midfield looks shocking though.

I said in October that I liked Hughton as a person and was prepared to give him a chance. He's done alright at times and has to take some credit for our league position. But ultimately, he's proved to me and others than he doesn't have enough about him to be a premiership manager.

Absolutely. Should have been done years ago. 2003 to be exact.

You don't want anyone to finish 4th?

Chris 'Middlesbrough has the best pubs and clubs in the UK and Laurent Robert surely wouldn't shoot from 35 yards' Kamara? Doesn't sound like him.

Put £20 on him being the next to go at 7/1 last night. Odds remain, get on it.

I think we'll probably buy a defensively minded CM to play alongside Nolan. Just an opinion but with Hughton in charge we'll once again see a premiership season with no creativity or pace through the middle.

Hillarious. Care to tell everyone what tells you that Hughton won't sign a CM this summer other than the fact that you don't like him? The fact I've seen Nolan play just about every fkin minute of every fkin game despite barely being fit enough to last 10 minutes.

Dodged.

Do either of you genuinely think that we'll be starting next season without Smith or Nolan in the first team? What do 90% of the Hughton fans on here have in common?

f*** the points, wenger plays better football with better results. We weren't talking about which team is better, man. But since you bring it up, Wenger has better results? Liverpool have won three trophies under Benitez since Arsenal last picked one up.

Not compared to Wenger he's not. At least Benny's points have some (if not a hell of a lot of) validity.

I'm starting to love Benitez.

What the hell is he doing in Tup Tup palace hours after playing a game of football in Watford?

Coventry, Palace and Middlesbrough. EDIT:Not Boro, they were refounded in 86.

Wasn't that win against Barrow?

Good post, i like that.

Deja-vu.

I think the pair of them are really on the same wavelength now, it should frighten the piss out of you.

My money is on Gonzalo.

It was a poor header by Williamson but what on earth is Smith all about man, seriously.
