yes No it isn't. since when? BTW I'm basing this on seeing Tony Norman sent off for Sunderland for a simple catch, way back in the day I refer you to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3586054.stm Sounds like a different interpretation to me

Surely they could just restart?

Why did they abandon the game?

yes

those odds are brilliant

James will never be part of an England team that wins the world cup, he's about as reliable as Pavel Srnicek. Good shotstopper but 40 years old next year and nowhere near the keeper he was during 2004 (when he also wasn't good enough for England) I'd love to see Foster make a good case for the shirt but right now it belongs to Green

Green right now

King is on trial in October for ABH and sexual assault, best stay away

Not even Wigan want King man, he's bloody hopeless

I'd agree. Don't think he's far off Shearer's level when fully-fit and at his best. 8 years ago perhaps, but not anymore man

He was consistently good for Boro from what I saw, when he was on the pitch of course

Better than Berbatov when fit according to Paul 'he's very talentable' Merson

Only when trying to control a football

Do you not remember when Keegan done something similar to Berseford? Although that was for a different reason. telling Keegan to f*** off against Villa iirc

vain a writer should know better

It's one of the reasons we've conceded 1 goal in 5 games. It's not ideal but it's worked thus far tbh.

The one i struggled with was R Taylor or Simpson for RB. Based on what I've seen of Taylor in that position and what a Blackburn fan has told me about Simpson i'm going for the latter. Harper Simpson S Taylor Coloccini Enrique Guthrie Barton Smith Jonas Ameobi Lovenkrands Nolan is a better player than Smith (just) but right now has nowhere near the stamina required to play football at this level. I hate putting Smith in there but it has to be done.

Lovenkrands ahead of Barton and out of position?

Carroll is capable of 1 in 3. This is fun. you actually believe that?

With Shola out, None of a strikers bar Lovekrands are capable of 1 in 3 imo. Ranger is still an unknown quantity obviously

We cannot keep relying on midfielders to score, we need Harewood in well before the game

This will keep Andy Carroll out of the team anyway, good news

not a good start mate

I don't think many people would want Shearer over Hitzfeld. It's pretty much irrelevant though. except 30,000 odd who go to the game
