Superior Acuña

That wasnt lack of pace, he actually stopped. I think he thought noone was there.

I'm not one of his big critics, but howay, he was not good today. He actually stopped and let them through once, had ramage not gotten across...

Why do we play better without him then? Do we? We've had a good run without him recently. All which started with the arsenal game in which he played well. He was easily our best at the start of the season, and very good all of last season. Michael Owen hasnt been playing in our recent run either...

I wouldnt blame him for either of those. First one he had to hit off the back of his head, facing away from the goal and i think he was marked too. Second one wasnt a free header, and was a bit out. You cant complain cos he doesnt score every header.

What the hell? Surely parker has to start before either of them. Emre's good when he's good, bue he's so incosistent. Butt's been good recently, but remember the other season? PArker's one of our best players.

1-1 Great news

woah woh woh "rewind" - in the words of tubes. What did Gerrard say? And i'd also like to point out i didnt complain at the signing. I never saw the problem, i thought he'd add depth to our squad, and he was free, we never planned to build our team around him. So what was the issue?

def. Everyone had them at blackburn and reading

Well blaydon races must be well known for bolton, blackburn and manu to sing to the tune. We dont sing it much at home, but at every away game

That's why it's designated standing areas. Have you ever been to an away game? We always stand, and it makes the games 10 x better.

Surely it's more dangerous standing in the seating area than a standing area? Though i dont see the safety risks with standing at all. You actually take up less surface area

First i think i'd feel sorry for myself for not being there

I never undestood why KD didnt work. Top class manager...:/

I reckon the current 3 are down like, though curbs could turn it for west ham

I'm not a carr fan, but with nobby out he has to play

We don't need a right back. Nobby's the man for the job.

I want a new striker, and would love to see ashton or bent here. But will that happen, as hes not going to drop martins or owen?

He drags him to the ground! For god sake!

You seen oliver's report on him? The one titled about butt? How martins was no help at all in the second half and some other crap that makes me think oliver's got something against him

I honestly cant see a case against henchoz's red. He grabs the guys shorts and legs as he's falling! It's a proffessional foul! You do that anywhere on the pitch and it's a yellow, do it in a goalscoring opportunity and it's a red! Simple! And how can you possibly make a case for offside?

Yeah, I was thinking much the same meself.... :roll: The righteous moral shock horror brigade are damning everybodys eyes and tutting up a storm....some people do forget theres a real world out there sometimes, eh ? I believe it's you who has forgotten there's a real world. So fine, you like a bit of the old racism. Football violence as well is it? Do you miss the old days? Bring a bunch of bananas next home game, that's always good for a laugh. I know I hate over political correctness, but i suppose anything critical is 'PC crew' antics. "Nout like a bit of racism, good for the immune system" eh? It's idiotic, and if you think it's tolerable you're clearly an idiot yourself.

The worst was Ventspils away. Was a crap game, so what i would estimate as about 40% of toon fans were joining in either just by clapping, or chanting. There was one particular guy 'preaching' a load of crap, and trying to get it into the mic. on the tv camera. The police were filming but doubt anything was done. It was really a large portion, but there were less than 200 toon fans there. Ruined the game for me. It was the day that all that came out about the UK - US plane bomb plot

Of course it's ok to be a toon fan! But don't brand "us" as christians. I'm not a fan of christianity (or religion in general) at all

I know. When bellamy was here and doing well, he wasnt scoring that often really. He was contributing a fair few and creating them for his partner. Owen would be the main scorer, with martins getting about 10 and helping owen Can we keep 3 such strikers happy? Owen's class, martins needs games to build and he's not going to be dropped at 10.9 million. Where does the new guy fit in? I want a new striker, but preferably a young one that'll put up with sub appearances and replacing injured strikers (which wont be uncommon).

I was so happy for martins yesterday. I know he has to improve, but i really think he'll come good. He's only young (younger than ramage - who people excuse, and so did chopra), showing promise, and i really think he cares. I loved his celebration so much yesterday too (not the jumps, but the badge kissing)
