Qualify, err............. any of that please.

How does Mort rate as a 'Credible Chairman'? He's done the job for, what, 6 months? not actually sure i said he was did i? i liked the way he went about his job, seemed to realise people like keegan knew more about football than he does...he's also not a buffoon like shepherd or a probable c*** like llamblias he'd do for me, what's you problem? who would you choose? I hate being the guy who just shoots down down other peoples ideas without actually mentioning a realistic alternative, but i couldn't name anyone tbh!!! I'd just want someone with a record if having done the job successfully before.

Communication to the fans is a very important thing though when running a football club. Off the top of my head he sacked Allardyce, was the man who brought Keegan back, was fighting Keegan's corner in his battle with this within, brokered that meeting after the Chelsea game to resolve all apparent teething problems at the time. Plus we actually appeared stable and looked like we might go somewhere, although I do believe the manager we had was the reason behind this. Then look at what happened when he went. I really don't believe it was Mort's decision to sack Allardyce or hire KK. I think it was Ashley's decision and that he was getting advice from elsewhere. My opinion anyway!

Ashley's policies are unlikely to change just because Mort comes back. Apart from talking to the fans what else did he actually do? Is it because he seems a nice bloke?

no ambition ? Villa bigger and more ambitious than Newcastle ? Well, they acted it in the past, but not since 1992 they haven't been, until now that is. They've spent more than most teams in the Prem this year. It's going well for them an'll. Still think O'Neill's a uselss leprechaun?

Sell Taylor for stupid money and buy David Villa. Asif...

Doubt we'll sign anyone if we sack Wise. He's signed some good players too true...but hopefully he will leave in the summer when we appoint shearer! Long term the manager does his job along with his own scouts! Yeah, the scouts this year have been sh*t......

McKay just stirring the pot hoping for a payday.

Actually, i'm sure i remember you saying Taylor was better than Richards. Well, they're both having a bit of a reality check from the hype now. I think Richards wants to play CB because he'd more involved (nothing wrong with that) and he probably cruised it at reserve/youth level because of his athleticism, better at RB imo, would have more licence to attack more too. Oh well...

How many headers did Viduka win yesterday? None that i can remember. No point trying long ball against Wigan then, Owen doesn't really work the channels so it'll be up to the wide men to make the game for us i reckon. Unless Titus just hands it to us, of course...

Tricky one for me; Hughes is doing a great job, keeping them near the bottom. On the other hand, i'd love to see the ungracious bastards face when the camera's shoved into his car window just after being relieved of his duties at City :)

He's got a proper touch of the 'Glen Johnsons' about him. If he moves to a lower profile club he'll come good in about 4 years i reckon

Christ!!!!! How off the boil can you get? He has been truly gash lately (highlights only, no actual live game time viewed). What's he doing at CB an'all? Looked good at RB. All i can say is...........good tbh

Never doubted him tbh...

Lennon put in 3 dangerous balls i reckon, once when he cut in and played Huddlestone through. That wasn't Rickys fault because on the Butt/Guthrie should have come across to help him out. I thought he did pretty wll against Lennon. Lennon's accelaration is incredible but after 10 yards Ricky's closing in on him or at least keeping pace. I reckon if Lennon would've switched to the left Beye would have had a harder time. Didn't understand why Butt/Guthrie didn't double up, Lennon was their most dangerous player. When Zoggy had the ball Spurs doubled up on him often. When a player is as quick as Lennon you're always going to lose him now and again.

You've got a real bee in your bonnet when it comes to Jarles! He's not great but he's OK, could get better. Importantly he cost f**k all. Everyone has players they just don't like for one reason or another and i get the impression it's Zog for you, which is fine. Is it you don't like him as a player or you don't like some of the other posters inflated opinion of him?

Yet still massively more useful than Duff, so he keeps his place for me.

that would be a help, swap him alan smith for stephen warnock Really? i bet Alan Smith's a better LB.

Kinnear seems to think Riise is.....

Then again, how many players have been given a £100+k contract at 25, and then still offered £90k aged 29? Ballack?

Where do you think we would have finished this season if Keegan had stayed? If they supported KK 100% in a reasonable fashion and got him the players he wanted in the positions he wanted, a lot higher than our aims will be this season, top 8 perhaps, maybe top 6 We're only a couple of points off that now.

If Martins doesn't play and i'd put Viduka in. I'd expect the spuds to play a bit deeper anyway. If Fatboy gets a game we should really ping the crosses in, get in wide and get some crosses in. Our centre midf will have less time then they did yesterday i reckon so spray it, let Honas and Jarles run it and cross.

It didn't make a difference yesterday because Pompey were gash and didn't fancy having a go.

Don't you mean Boris Johnson? Michael.
