shut-up, Mickey fkin Owen....... we need 11 men on the pitch

I think what he is trying to do is making us a counter attacking team, but we do not have the pace or directness in our midfield or attack to play this way at the moment. We need at least one player with these attributes to use as an outlet. Martins has the pace but isn't direct enough. For example Villa have Young and Agbonlahor who set up most of their attacks. Man City use Petrov a great deal in this respect. Portsmouth have the likes of Benjani and Utaka. At Bolton Sam had the likes of Diouf and Anelka. We currently do not have the personnel for this style of football. If we could just add the right kind of playeer or two with these attributes we ccould see a great deal of improvement. if he's trying to play counter attacking football why the hell did he buy Barton, Smith and Viduka these players plus Owen shouldn't be anywhere near the team if that's what we're trying to achieve

Cacapa should get captaincy

happy new year lads blatantly gonna be shit for nufc

wants out, who the fuck will employ him now? boro?

what the fuck is this?

Exactly! Barton was a major risk in the first place and I never wanted to get rid of Parker. Barton did nothing to prove his huge price tag worth it. We are just excellent at wasting huge amoutns of money for nothing a la Boumsong, Viduka(his wage), Duff etc... to be honest, based purely on what we've seen from him on the field (at city), £5.8m is very reasonable

the last thing we need is another Chris Evans on our hands

There's a surprise, was he on his phone? no but he had the ipod headphones in

just saw the man himself in the gate, didn't look happy

to be honest, neither Milner nor N'zogbia are half as good as they are cracked up to be

all true to be fair

in question?

why mention Bellamy? what the fuck is the point mate

for what we paid for those two we could have had Elano and Santa-Cruz, takes the piss, it really really does

I remember arguing over the summer that Shay was far too often beaten from long-range, seems a few more people are agreeing with me

I'm torn 50-50 as to whether he uses his pace well. I'm not sure either that he is quite as quick as he was, he seems to have stockened up at the expense of his pace. if he seems slower this season it's because he's LB and a quick burst will result in him just about reaching the half-way line

Watching the Derby game i was actually thinking it might be worth sticking carr right back and moving Beye forward. Seems to be very direct and uses plays to his strengths (like his pace which you mentioned). no

N'zogbia?

Im undecided whether to give him till Feb or till the end of season

gotta be said, i'm a fan of Allardyce but this becoming nothing short of ridiculous

employ who?

Taylor's mistake? Given's perhaps? no mistake here, our two best players remember

CUNTS more chance for excuses from Allardyce
