was expecting one way traffic but the only instance of this is coming from the ref

I have had to mute it cannot stomach such one sided shite

If you are going to start tailing off the best time to do it if there is such a one is near January knowing this club as unpredictable as they if we had of kept the same pace it would have been "no need to strengthen", "this group of players got us where we are now we have to keep faith in them" , "they need to be of better quality than what we had for us to rush out and buy". "if it isnt broke dont fix it, January is a bad time to buy" etc etc etc and while these excuses could still be used now I hope and pray seeing a loss of form in the side and the impending exits of those involved in the cup in January will finally give enough weight to releasing some money on the side being going back for players we missed out on in the summer or going for new targets identified over the course of this part of the season.

not that i want to pretend to know what iam talking about but will the players themselves get similar payments as sighing on fees?

only reason i can think is that Speed was the model professional and barton is a child throwing the toys out of the pram

he just needs a goal he is doing everything else right.

they are getting plenty of the ball and seem good at closing down in the middle which does mean they are getting alot of possession but they are doing next to nowt with it. Almost hoping we kick it out for a "throw in"

HAHA Darren I think he's called, what a complete cunt! not that I want to slag anyone off who cannot defend themselves but he has been doing it for at least 14yrs as I used to get on the bus at the bus stop right outside of the bookies at the bottom of chester where they all would stand round strange fella must fit in well with the rest of them.

Ba & Best to start for me if we have any chance and give 30 mins to Sammy to replace whoever looks most tired.

simpson has been excellent today

partly want him to take his time and come back 100% and part of me doesnt wanna wrap the fucker in cotton wool when he is fit stick him back in our system of play seems to be lacking him in it and for now we are stuck with square pegs in round holes

As things stand unless there are multiple stand out performances from a few of the newbies then i see it as position = to last mid table 8/9/10 positions only currently possibly based on results from those around us going our way.

6/10 for me we have added to the squad with younger players but this in itself is the gamble as the players we have brought in are all "wild cards" in the sense that they may not do the stuff in this league and while unlike in the past it wont be a costly mistake finance wise (as we have spending next to fuck all and we are led to believe we dont give out crazy wages anymore) we still have not invested enough into the playing side of things. While the catch 22 of not having a big squad is that the kids (and we have some good ones on the books) get a chance we also leave ourselves with shite on the bench that at some point will still play. Cannot be rated a failure as we got players in but they are probably not of enough quantity and quality for us to push on any further this season (unless they prove me wrong in 35 mins or spend a shit load in jan hahahahaha)

most of the liverpool team surely?

every time i see this bumped (especially now) i pray that its a link to see him move on as happy as Iam we have people who appear to be ahead of him I would rather never see him pull on the shirt again in any capacity

they still hold the record for lowest points total in the prem ever dont they?

would rather throw a pair of football boots on the pitch and no doubt they would be involved in more positive play than him simply awful.

for all the wrong reasons unfortunately

any comments from pardew yet?

over reaction from Joey = bad but violent conduct to a player = bad deserved to be sent off if there was intent to lash out

My best mates in the same church group as shola an my dad has sold a car to shaka hislop for his brother I think was playing for blackpool at the time. An bought keegans JAG a few year ago Nowt exciting.

in what respect Dave? that he is hinting he needs someone of more quality to play along side him? that he is one of the people who have privately said that he is unhappy about the investment (or maybe as part of his duty as captain representing the team) or somthing else? In that Colo is the new club captain, and as such is probably the least sellable of our key players (in theory...). The other day Pardew mentioned that some of the squad were getting restless and wanting new players through the door, him now specifying Coloccini is a deliberate effort to place more pressure on Ashley/Llambias IMO. the risk with putting pressure on the board or mentioning timescales again (for about the 100th time) is that when it fails and there is no movement its him as a manager that gets more pressure put on himself. If your theory is correct it is worrying that he is now having to publically hint for movement in terms of transfers as other avenues have possibly fallen on deaf ears.

we keep saying we want bodies in so we dont fall back on ryan taylor, smith etc when everyone is out if he is better than them (is he I dont know?) if he is then great they move further down the pecking order and if not I really hope he wasnt plan Z

if true just under 1/3 last season really isnt good enough but risk free if they are loaning him
