Bentley there's no real point in signing, Barton is looking good and we have Lil Wayne, Keane I would only have on loan.

The majority of our better performances this season have come with Nolan in that role. Well maybe, but that doesn't mean it's the reason, or it's working. It does like. Nolan was totally absent from the Wigan game, for example, even though we played well as a team. It's a bit of a pointless discussion as we don't have anyone else decent for that position, but I don't think our good performances have much to do with Nolan - except maybe for his motivating influence.

Still think Nolan really struggles in the CM role. Not sure who we should be playing instead like.

It probably will.

I would like to see Blackburn go down, but sadly they'll probably survive.

Aye, my brother told me this last night, absolutely mental.

Think it's about rapid decision making as well, we don't have many players capable of that.

What, like the Asian Cup? Now you mention it, yes

Everton have survived for a long time without a competent forward, it can only go on for so long IMO. A bit like Liverpool with Gerrard, if anything happens to Cahill they're fooked.

He just looks like The Brain out of Pinky and The Brain.

Got to admit I still have time for Routledge, I think he was dropped too early and maybe it hit his confidence a bit. If he can continue to go past players like he did against Wigan he'll produce his fair share of assists IMO.

Nowhere to be found in Garth Crook's team of the week. Racism TBH.

He deserves a lot of the credit for our goal today, for sure.

I agree, I don't think we sign players because they have a resale value I think we've moved away from signing has-beens and we're much better off for that. I have a pride in most of our players now, I haven't felt like that for years. Totally agree, I've never agreed with the idea we're becoming a selling club, we're just buying players at the right point in their careers now.

Minus N'Zogbia as well, think that was a big plus for us.

Got to admit I've enjoyed what I've heard from Pardew so far. I was gutted when he wa appointed but he seems a pretty positive guy. I think he has the right attitude to be a winner, he just needs the time, backing and a little bit of luck to do it.

He's not a footballer, he's a machine.

Would've put him up there with the Albert chip, awesome.

He's definitely better when Carroll isn't playing. Unfortunately Carroll is going to be playing nearly every game.

Harsh RE Tevez and Mascherano, both were forced on him by the owners half way through a season and he had no knowledge of their abilities and how they would help or disrupt his side.

We should be fucking up West Ham with a full strength side like, they're dire at the moment.

Eventually I can see Taylor making it back in, but he needs to sort out his massive frame. Anyway, there will always be injuries and suspensions... three or four will always be needed.

Well there's no reason to complain about who you face in the Champions League, the whole point of it is that it's full of the world's best teams.

Dunno, we've done alright with majority whities so far, why upset the racial harmony of the group of lads?
