There's nowt to be said to mongs like that. 20 years ago the same was being said about Shearer. Rooney needs to find a way to reinvent his game a bit, but he's not going to do that under a manager who uses him exclusively as a workhorse.

Name 4 strikers better or 4 attacking midfielders better. No? Exactly.

Better team throughout. So much cause for optimism.

Sounds especially stupid given that he's still one of our best options in multiple positions. Either way you take 4 strikers and he's easily one of them.

Look so much better since Welbeck went off.

He takes a fair few.

What a goal that is out of nothing.

Because he looked up and saw Butland was hobbling about like James Caan at the end of Misery.

We've largely played well since the WC.

I love you Yorkie but you really do need to stop commenting on non-Nufc related football matters.

I meant him flying in training.

Isn't the source for that Lee Ryder?

The irony is, literally all of Katie Hopkins' 'fans' are the unemployed layabout professional mums she relentlessly maligns.

I'm pretty sure I remember you admitting you'd been proved wrong on him that season as well mind. From memory, I attended a talk in after that season and was impressed with what he had to say and yes as he had finished 5th he deserved benefit of the doubt. That was my line of thinking IIRC. I have always regarded him as a shit manager and a fraud and I loving seeing him fuck it up at HIS club the fucking prick that he is. Didn't you buy a signed photo of him for £15?

He's not useless exactly, he's just a fairly poor defender in a godawful defence.

Let's not kid ourselves about Haidara. He'll be back in France never to be heard from again soon. Another one not even worth discussing.

Lascelles is too immobile for full-back, like.

Anita.

What a lunatic.

The 'boot in' is pointing out he didn't get Norwich up? Man you're such a soft pedantic shite. For the record: the best thing I can say about Chris Hughton is he's a top bloke, he did a fine job with us in the Championship, I was happy when he was confirmed permanently in October '09, I wasn't happy about his sacking and he'd obviously be preferable to the likes of Carver, Pardew and McClaren. The worst thing I can say is that he isn't a Premier League manager. He isn't. I hope this is the last time this crap gets brought up because it isn't really worth any discussion. It's fairly obvious what brackets Chris Hughton fit in, both in terms of our history and as a coach.

It'd be the same as last time, really: the rubbish still under contract that nobody else wants like Colback, Coloccini and Gouffran would be retained. Marginal players like Riviere would be instantly starting every game, Vuckic possibly recalled too. I'd rather not think about any of it. Just a fucking shit scenario from a pure football perspective. It's exactly what the club deserves, obviously.

No. He means another 4 goals, Heza.

Ian, we agree. Forgot you had your weird disdain for Hughton. That was when you were a Chelsea fan wasn't it? Stating facts and the blatantly obvious constitutes disdain now?

It's pretty good. The lyrics are only marginally more accurate than those relating to Gouffran skinning them all, mind.

Hughton didn't get Norwich promoted. He did pretty much take them down, though. Ian, we agree.
