I was a young lad at the time so I'll defer to the expert but I don't remember Lee ever really standing out that much as a player till the second half of 93-94.

I agree Pardew would probably bench him at times, like. Ultimately he'd be forced into playing him to save his job.

Rob Lee from 94-97 was fantastic, and the best midfielder I've seen for us based on peak. Speed was brilliant for us for nearly 6 years, which may tip the balance in his favour.

What?

Fair point this. If there's one thing we don't need it's creativity and goals from out wide. We're all sorted for set-piece delivery too.

If you think of some of the things he's been in bother for and the money he's on your sympathy will rapidly evaporate. Like when you express sympathy for Pardew for getting paid almost a million quid a year to play 3 defensive midfielders at home (and still lose 6-0)?

This is the ultimate.

Saw none of the game but things look great in the group for us now. A draw in a few days and we're basically there.

Too much has been made of England's midfield failings. Lack of striking quality since Shearer's retirement is a bigger issue. Lampard's still England's best midfielder. So what?

So why bother, then?

People still taking Luca seriously?

Which has nothing to do with the players on the pitch whatsoever. I get it.

Who should be judged on goals, Mole? Just Papiss? There lies the problem,

He's scored 3 times for us in 20 games with one of those goals a finish into an empty net and another a big deflection. Doesn't really bode well. I like him because of his pace, tenacity and directness but he can't really be depended on to start. He creates nowt either.

He's certainly never a winger.

It's a totally fabricated figure. Didn't it come from Llambias?

Ian's just being the ultimate battered wife. Nobody does it better.

Another song to add the TU list? Shola song, Jonas song, Llambias song. Sounds about right for you lot.

Be interesting to see what he has to say given that he's been more explicit this summer on our need for signings.

Tiote in the starting Xl, man. For what? So we can piss more points away.

He deserves to be driven into an early grave ASAP for his mountain of lies and disparaging comments about us.

Velodrome is one of the best stadiums I've ever been to for a number of reasons. Anyone making that swap doesn't give a single fuck where he's playing.

They aren't treating me like an idiot. Till they fuck off they're not getting fuck all out of me and that goes for my family and most friends too.
