  1. With Baco up front we would give most teams a stuffing.
  2. Good shot stopper, excellent kicker and decent at collecting high balls into the box. Needs to work on his decision making and organisation as said above. Both can come with confidence I think. Excellent prospect IMO.
  3. At the weekend..... Krul Simpson Colocinni Williamson Enrique Routledge Guthrie Nolan Guttierez Ranger Caroll Unfortunately.
  4. I love the over reaction on here sometimes, I have seen some s**** from us in the past, however tonight was not that. We came up against anti-football tonight and couldn't break it down, lost the first goal and gave them something to hang onto and then went chasing a winner. Had we got the first goal it probably would have been different.
  5. That was bad by Barton and unfortunately the commentators have it right. He is an idiot, always will be.
  6. Well that's the aim then, find a younger Habib Beye, about 24 years old would do it.
  7. Well both were cheap and on low wages so its not a great concern, I'm sure both are worth £500k each. Think we are spoilt with Enrique mind first top drawer left back I can remember, can't think of the last Right back we had that was real top drawer.
  8. Yes, certainly keep Simpson, didn't mean to post getting rid of him. Still don't think he is ready yet though, a few good games so far but my point being to move to the next stage we really need to be looking at a better right back and he is easier to replace than the other players in the starting 11. Getting better players in than we have already is the only way to get better. As for Carew Would rather play Ranger.
  9. If we really want to push on then we need to bring in better players than we have already. Simpson Ferguson Perch Smith Guthrie Lovenkrands Best Raylor Xisco Campbell Ranger are all either not good enough or not ready yet. Out of that lot we keep Ranger and Ferguson and the others can be got rid. If we bring any good new players in to replace those left out of that list it will be a good window. Even 3 or 4 better than those would be a step up over the next 2 windows or so. After that getting better players in than we have already becomes a lot harder and could potential disrupt the tactics we have at the moment. However we do need backup players for Enrique, Tiote and the center backs. So plenty for Chris to be going for in the transfer window. I'm convinced he will get it right, like the Tiote, Gosling, Williamson signings theres not always the need to go for the big names.
  10. Dear god. Skysports.com. I guess it is accurate though we have not made an approach.
  11. What club would release that statement in October? What a pile of s****. Granted, say it in a interview or press conference but to release it on the official club website randomly in October is stupid. Amateur hour again. Whether its lies or not, whats the point.
  12. My word, it is going to get very messy isn't it. How can the board sell the club without the owners consent. The media, mostly seem to be missing this, some more than others. Talk sport and Alan Brazil were talkign as if H&G had gone already and the club had been sold. Incredible.
  13. I don't know. Image that you had 4 different sources of premiership rights holders to choose from. Sky in the UK, one in Germany, France and Italy. All who paid for the same rights as sky did. Who you go with is up to you. I can see Sky paying less as they won't have a monopoly, but the other countries broadcasters would have access to the rest of Europe and would therefore pay more. Sky could also broadcast their own channels abroad also. Would it be good to reduce Sky's dominance though? I kind of like the fact sky has 90% of the rights as they do it properly and I don't mind paying the subs. Its the whole Setanta/ESPN thing that does my nut in. As long as they show the match, I don't care to be honest. For avid followers of specific clubs (rather than those who just like watching the odd bit of football and weigh up if they want to see Super Sunday, the rugby or just put Top Gear on iPlayer), I imagine the ideal environment would be at the game, with no commentator, no analysis, no replays, no computer graphics - and I think they'd rather watch their own team play Bolton in a meaningless midtable game on dodgy pub telly with Estonian commentary than watch the Sky Super Mega Sunday Chelsea-Arsenal clash in 3D with 'expert' opinion and the technological bells and whistles. Even if it meant needing to have 2 or 3 subs to be able to do so? The premier league and Sky will not let the dodgy estonian thing happen no matter what verdict comes of this case. I would imagine the Premier league will change its rights structures to fit what it wants to happen. The upshot of that may mean more choice for us from who we subscribe to but probably not the chance to see the same team on TV each week. Until a team season ticket comes out I doubt there will ever be the ideal scenario.

  15. EU law says there must be free trade across the EU. The games she is broadcasting have also been bought from the premier league, why should they not be allowed to sell their product anywhere in the EU? The premiership saying that is not allowed restricts the free trade in the EU. That's her point and it is a good one. I'd imagine it comes down to redistribution clauses. If the Greeks or whoever have no redistribution clauses in their contracts then fair enough. If they do then she's f***ed. If she broadcasts Arab s*** she's probably f***ed. The law is the law man. Its the clauses that she is claiming are breaking the free trade laws. The premier league do not write the law. So back to the start, she's f***ed then. Whoever has the money writes the law. Yep back to the start, you are talking rubbish.

  18. We have already had 2 must win games and we have lost both. This is a MUST win game. The fixtures in November and December are perilous and potentially there's no more than 6 points in them for us. Negative, sure, but there you go.
  19. Google image weightlifter. Should be easy to spot.
