Agbonlahor looks bang in form at the moment, wonder how close he was to getting in?

It's appalling like. Never understand what managers see in Barry and Milner in particular, and we should be going with younger players than Lampard and Parker as well.

Rodwell's tackle was fantasic. One footed, played the ball cleanly. Should definitely be overturned on appeal.

Absolutely, when things are going so well it would only be rocking the boat to change it. Maybe less so in the case of Santon, as I'm sure Ryan Taylor knows he isn't a left back.

Aye, interesting question for sure. I always rated Enrique (far more than Colo actually!) and thought it was mental when he wasn't playing. But then he did turn out superbly, so maybe Sam was right in some tiny way. Maybe by accident like.

Africa has the internet? Whatever next?

Decent post, but an exaggeration on Barton. He's a good mid to lower-end Premier League midfielder, he's just not as good as he thinks he is.

I valued his goals, but I never found him a likeable player really.

The issue of HBA starting should resolve itself really - he'll come on and transform a couple of games from the bench, score a couple of crackers and it'll be impossible not to play him.

We don't want to rush him.

I think because the fans make heroes here of anyone who performs well it's easy for fairly ordinary players to start getting ahead of themselves. The "Ryan Taylor over the wall" chants for example. At most big clubs his presence on the pitch wouldn't be tolerated yet here we're singing songs about him. Nolan came from Bolton reserves and after scoring a few goals was demanding a 5 year contract. Easy to get above yourself in this atmosphere. I agree with your point, but I don't think Ryan Taylor is a good example at all. It's not his fault he's shit, and there's no evidence at all to suggest he's getting above himself.

There's no doubt in my mind he'll play a lot of games for France if he plays the bulk of a season for us. Very few players have the ability he has.

We need to start identifying his long-term replacement now like, I desperately want him to stay and be given a new deal but he can only keep going for so long. We need a couple of good young CBs in the squad ASAP.

Thing some people are getting slightly carried away.

They aren't realistic though.

I know we're a top 4 team now, but I still doubt we'll buy Tevez.

Two Cabayes to go with the two Ameobis would be something special. Wonder if Tiote has any footballer siblings?

Don't believe that for a second, you can get so far with talented players, but even further if they are bonded together and pushing for the team. Look at Barca, probably the least selfish team on the planet.

Don't see what the big problem is discussing this like, it doesn't mean we're slagging off the club legend Steve Harper and forgetting everything he's done before.

Thought Tchoyi looked really good for WBA, then he disappeared from the team.

Lawro just predicts a one or two goal win to the home team usually, or the top four team. I'm dying to write a computer program that would beat him over a season. Or just roll dice.

Did he not realise that when they were taking photos of his head to use in the game? Or does it not work like that?

I'm undecided about Blackburn, their underlying side is pretty shit but they do have a few good players who could keep them in the league.

You've got to repeat these things to make them stick man. I tried it with A-Train for Carroll for ages, but it never worked.
