We've given up a good number of decent chances in most games if you ask me. The opposition invariably screw them up. We do allow a few chance, but we also do a lot of good defending where inferior players might have been skinned. Probably a mixture of the two, obviously, but I've been impressed by our defence.

They're both morons, so I don't know what to believe.

If Duff hadn't scored that goal we'd have stayed up. If we're going to list every situation where we might have picked up one more point then we'll be here a while.

What did he say again?

If he replaces any of our CMs with him, then probably. If we stick him out on the right, then no. I kind of think that Hughton will do the right thing.

Also, they're experienced and highly paid... not easy to remove or replace in a January window.

Opposite if anything, surely? We kept hearing how "tough a league" this is. We're shit, and still 85% sure of promotion. Yes, my brain has stopped working for some reason. That's what I meant to post!

Sorry, that's what I meant!

Not really, I'm unhappy with that particular deal but happy overall and it appears most are the same. It's pretty easy to separate the two. Fair enough. Caught exaggerating - the shame!

I really don't think he believes this.

Good to see the results, from the Leon Best thread you'd think it was the apocalypse.

There are a lot of poor teams in the Premiership at the moment... suppose no country has more than 5 - 10 good teams.

I think a lot of people underestimated this league, mainly because they'd never watched it.

I really hope you're right mate.

I never was unhappy. We've basically got no reason to think he'd be any good, and his short spell here wasn't exactly brilliant. I worry that his dour personality might make him a bit of a negative manager. No evidence for that of course!

What were the other ones?

The number nine shirt is still vacant!

Got to agree, but it must be pretty hard to turn down the payday of a lifetime. You never know when you might get a cruciate injury and never be the same again. If I was a footballer I'd be a proper mercenary!

Don't think it's on TV, I usually use livesportontv.com, and it's not listed there.

Well to be fair it's me who keeps bringing it up repeatedly, it must get tiresome but still Ha ha, well I don't hold personal grudges so I hadn't noticed!

Not really, spunking the club's money on overpaid wasters is also a big part of the reason. Not spending hasn't been the reason for NUFC's decline, mismanagement has been.

Gibson would be immense, he's a class act.

I wish people would stop bringing up this Arsenal blueprint thing FFS. It's just a phrase, it doesn't mean we suddenly are Arsenal.

Only made his debut in May 2009 or something.

Barton was dogshit and hardly contributed before he even got injured anyway, I dont even see him as the answer to our problems. Just a fitter, non-goal scoring less defensive version of Nolan and Smith combined, he can be creative and could quite easily be this leagues best midfielder by a mile if he wanted to tho. So he's not good but he is good, I see what you mean.
