Hba wasn't coming on in a million years while it was one nil. We will see him in the next two.

Fucking hell is it going to be another week of people debating if we should have won or not. Just enjoy it. We've just eat spurs and Chelsea and kept two clean sheets. We are effectively champions league certainties.

If BT stays free on Virgin then I suppport this move.

Listen man, if a player leaves the club, YOUR club, the club you love, the club you put time and money into all year every year, simply because someone else is offering him more cash you cant just expect fans to think nothing of it. The whole 'well if i got offered more money in a new job i'd take it' argument is a total irrelevance due to the difference in World normal people and footballers live in. Rightly or wrongly people will feel aggrieved because ultimately fans want the players to want to play for the club for us, not for money. That's probably the sentimental side of it. In the real world, none of our players (except Shola and Taylor maybe) wouldn't even play for us if we hadn't offered them a better deal than they were on at their previous club. Why do you think players like Anita, Debuchy and Cabaye are even here, whilst they could have continued to represent the club that brought them through and that the probably have genuine feelings for? In the same vein, why do you expect these mercenaries who left their clubs for us, to decline better offers when they are available, to stay at a club like ours, without ambition to even compete and unwilling to pay the going rate. We are a stepping stone of a club, lucky to be in (one of) the most prestigious football leagues in the world, and that's exactly how our owner wants it. Blame him, not the players who are being traded in this system, not only to better their own career, but also to further our (owner's) interests. Specifically looking at the Demba Ba case, he came in for free, left for 7.5 million, probably earned less than that in wages in his time here and scored a shitload. How anybody could brand him a mercenary who only looked after his own interest is quite frankly staggering. What does that make our club? I'm not blaming anyone. I'm not really bothered. I'm just pointing out some of the reasons why people may be upset. With Ba specifically, I thought it was the attitude of him and his entourage that left a bitter taste in the mouth. Getting 'his big move' . But thats just me.

I'm sorry but that's a massive load of shite.

Well depends what you class as an error I suppose. Getting the ball in 30 yards of space and launching it upfield without taking a moment to compose youself is an error. Off the top of my head, Cardiff he made an error that lead to a goal. But like I say, I'm not getting on his back, he's doing well. He does a job as a squad player. He'll more than likely play more than Taylor too due to Taylor's glass shell.

It's not just what Williamson has, it's what Taylor doesn't. Rightly or wrongly, I've got it into my head that Taylor makes basic errors (usually in picking up players or being too gung ho) and then blames others. You also have to take injuries into account. Say Taylor has had a run of games and we have an important game, I'd play him. Say Taylor is coming straight back from injury and is fit for an important game as his first game back, I'd go with Williamson. I honestly would. Williamson also makes basic errors and is dreadful on the ball. That being said, he's in good form at the moment and even though I wouldnt want to see him in there long term, well played to the lad. I thought he was done here. Seems like a decent honest enough bloke too.

Is this a Virus?

The Mag

Wasnt it him and the other lad (redmond?) have only had 6 shots are target between them this season? (or maybe last 6 games). Something like that.,

They arent exactly high scorers (5 in the last 6 in the league). If we can keep it tight again we've definitley got pace and goals in us to cause problems. All depends on how we defend on the day.

Peter Ramage in pleased to meet you.

Who would of thought after playing Man City off the park midweek, we wouldn't put in another excellent performance. Shock horror! Open your eyes, man! Are you actually brain damaged ?.

My feelings exactly. Delighted for the players and fans.

Magnificent today.

FFS man, he's not your estranged father. Ian man, coming out with comments like that show how out of touch/cock sucker he is. Can't stand the bloke.

Will never forgive him for those pre game comments. Cunt.

Shocking half of football. Our manager is such a coward

I'm at the lowest i've been supporting this club at the minute because of Mike Ashley, and this prick comes on TV and tells us it will be 'great for Mike' if we can win. They havent got a fucking clue man.

This fucking cunt. If we win it will be 'great for Mike' Fuck you you cunt.

They spoke about us at length at the start to be fair. Had an interview with Santon too.

Since Mourinho was the manager who bombed him out of Milan it's probably unlikely. Sure it was Jose who said he was one of the most exciting full backs in Europe didnt he?

The hope.
