The "British based" is true though, regardless of nationality. No club - and especially one with our non-existent spine and total lack of leadership - can afford to base transfer strategy around players with no experience of the most unique and arguably athletically demanding league in the world.

Bruce is a nice guy and a decent manager. He's got time to improve, too.

Treated worse than Hatem ffs. What nonsense.

Well, yeah, he's an idiot. Anyway, Hatem's never a number 10. His game isn't about vision, passing and movement for the sake of someone else. Asking him to fulfil the basic criteria of a number 10 would negate his strengths.

Why are your reporters so desperate for all the players to be on three or four teams. Mike, I know we've been here before man but you really can't hold the Star or the Sport to any sort of UK journalistic representation. Think the National Enquirer.

I very nearly said the same last night. Thank fuck I didn't.

The most damning thing of all, is that his two ready-made #10 replacements in Ben Arfa and Marveaux are on loan because our manager doesn't like them. I know it fits the agenda nicely but Ben Arfa isn't a number 10. He's consistently crap there. RW on the other hand he's very good at.

'Jonas, you're shit and I've been playing you for 2 seasons way past your incredibly average best. See ya.'

That'll probably improve us.

Like Coloccini added it, you mean?

Of course he is, man.

More trouble than it's worth. I'm not comfortable defending any management/club decision but keeping him around only causes problems, from their perspective.

Again, nobody wants him to play for their team. Let him do his own thing.

Give me a break, man. He's as weak as piss. Still think he should've been starting for us this season given the shit alternatives, mind. Yep. Imagine John Terry moaning about the physicality of the league. This is exactly why you need to buy players fit for purpose and not just cheap ones who might fetch a significant profit.

Jonas shouldn't be anywhere near the squad, so it's only right that he isn't. Nobody wants him. Why should we?

Your point being what?

RVN's such a smashing bloke.

I'm sure Lukaku's 5 years older than his DOB states, like. At '28' he'll suffer from arthritis.

It doesn't, really. Bruce is a decent manager. Far better than all of the rubbish who've managed us since Bobby (excluding KK).

Steady on, like. He looks a real prospect, helped us draw at home to Crystal Palace and is obviously better than Alsoran but that's it, for now.

Self preservation from Colo, given that he just can't handle players running at him. You've only got to look at the way he turned his back on two shots on Saturday which led to the goals. Utter coward.

Premier League. If Ashley feels we'll get relegated, I think he'll sack him. That's all he's bothered about afterall! The way Ashley looks at it is he's already given him cash to spend over the summer window. He won't wanna bail him out with more cash/signings in January. Instead, he'll want a new manager in to ensure we stay up. Can see it being Pulis or something, but at this moment in time, I'd take anyone with a positive attitude towards the game of football. We won't be relegated though, there are at least 3 teams worse than us. We'll be around 10th-15th come Christmas and that'll be enough for Ashley. Absolute rubbish. Which teams will score fewer goals and concede more? Certainly no more than 3 at best.

Ryder's article t'other day was better.

The word Cockney ruins it, as per. Stop using it you stupid bastards.

Reeks of mackem that. Although these phone-ins do normally attract an almost Night Owls level of degenerate.
