Didn't see the game, but when you're dominating possession and attacks against a 'lesser' side it seems the ideal time to introduce HBA. Anyway, sounds like we played quite well without scoring, which is basically fine.

not just me then. Same. Knees gone. You guys.

Aye, it's not just now though, it goes on constantly. What does being "linked with other clubs" even mean anyway? One journo has printed a story and a load of others have plagiarised it usually.

We'll struggle to pick up any points with Perch and Simpson playing CB really. Fact is we've just run out of players.

This must end.

I know real people too.

So sick of all these 'Tiote is going', 'selling club' shite posts. I wish we could be allowed to enjoy our good players for more than five minutes without convincing ourselves they're being sold.

That just re-enforces my belief that Kadar must be woeful in training. If he was good enough, I'm pretty confident Pardew would play him. Yeah, maybe, no way of knowing really.

I know what you mean, I just can't see how Kadar (who was considered promising even as recently as pre-season) can possibly be worse than Simpson and Perch (who are both embarrassingly bad at CB). Obviously I don't know the full story, it just seems mad not to play Kadar. We know how bad the alternatives are.

I had the Cabaye/Ben Arfa dilemma as well. Went for HBA, so everyone else should probably go Cabaye.

Because he's actually a CB?

I don't think that even comes into it anymore, I can't ever envisage a situation where we accept a big money offer for a player and they stubbornly refuse to leave the club as a matter of principle. I bet that's only happened about 6 times in the history of football TBH.

Hope you're right, except I would play Kadar at CB.

:'(

That settles it then. Wouldn't mind seeing what sort of excuse you'd bring up this time. What are you on about?

Swan Hunters Only bad news is he's gone ginger.

That settles it then.

Is it? Seems to me he's getting slaughtered on a daily basis.

surely we have learnt from that mistake, exchange grant holt for danny graham and we have problems again Probably, the question is if we have any players to correct it.

Yawn.

Well, let's get it in perspective. He hasn't played well for Liverpool but he's still a Premier League footballer and so he's already made it into the top 1% of players in the world. It's not like everyone who kicks a ball gets massive money. I do agree the wages are mental, but the business in general is mental too.

A lot, lot better I would think. I really like Anelka, and I can understand why players would take the mega-money in China when they have the chance, but I just wish they wouldn't.

Think we have to manage his recovery on its own terms, if he's ready he's ready, or not, regardless of other injuries.

It's been a uniquely weird and hilarious few days around here.

Hmmm, that is a bit picky from Simpson like. The main thing in the end is being paid which will happen so can't see what the problem is Surely that depends on exactly what the issue is, which we don't know.
