I love Oba, but he's a permacrock. Amount of niggly injuries he picks up is absurd.

As much as it pains me to say it, I actually wouldn't have minded that swap. Oba's almost as much of a permacrock as Owen is.

Sharpening my pitchforks.

Calum Davenport going to the scum? Would have been fucking mouth-watering if he had been in their back line yesterday.

Actually makes sense. The cunt's trying to unsettle Oba.

I just woke up and clicked on the last page. ...What the FUCK?

What the fuck They really are playing FM aren't they

I'm going to sleep now. Fully expect to wake up to riots.

f*** me, are you HTT? No. Next question? Why are your toys out of the pram because a player who has worked harder for us than any other in the last ten years has taken an extremely lucrative transfer with the potential to win something for the first time in his career? When answering, bear in mind it won't damage the first team very much, and could be the difference between us getting some more outfield players and not. Shay's still a ledge to me, don't really care if he was a bit of a nob for his last two weeks. The 11 years before it make up for it. Thanks for the memories. Read my post at the top of the page. Like I said, if I can fall out of love with Kevin Keegan for leaving us in the s***, I'm certainly more than capable enough of falling out of love with Shay Given. Fine, I don't think fall out of love with either though. Your choice, I'm hardly in a position to mind control you.

Ryan Taylor confirmed and a central midfielder and I'm set. Impossible to expect anything more at this point.

He's been very good at RB but as good as Beye? Jesus wept. There's not a shred of exaggeration in my mind when I say that Beye fit is the best defensive-minded right back in the league period.

Probably the team we'll see other than Duff in for Lovenkrands. Think Kinnear will prefer Carroll over Shola. His one redeeming quality is that he doesn't drop in-form players Not sure Oba will be fit to start though.

Shortly followed by the "I'd love to have him here. It will never happen though."

amazes me sometimes how people on here dig up information from completely random places.

I also feel kind of insulted that he's left us without releasing some sort of statement thanking the fans. Like I said, doesn't give a toss about us or the club anymore.

Martins-Bent-Carroll-Shola-Lovin' as a strikeforce to start next season wouldn't be bad at all. We can release the Ranger if it looks like we're about to push for a CL place.

Wish I could get SSN for just two days a year. It's just not as much fun when I have to hear all of it second-hand.

Everything will be fine when we get Beye back. He just makes the defense work like magic. Habib Beye is awesome. Should change his last name to Ranger.

Im well pissed off too man but what the f*** you hope he breaks his leg? I wasn't aware that wishing ill on someone in my head was illegal.

Thoughts on the deal itself: Fine, he's gone. A player swap would have been ideal but we all know that those kinds of deals are notoriously hard to work out so as long as we got an acceptable sum (which I trust we have,) it's not a big deal. The only thing now is that money MUST be reinvested into the squad immediately. If not, the pitchforks come out tomorrow evening. Thoughts on Shay Given: Emotionally, I feel devastated. I think we've all been taking Shay for granted for a long time now. Despite the fact that he's been blatantly too good for us for several years now, we'd come to think that he'd never leave. For that reason I feel like he never really got the appreciation he deserved. A lot of people got on his back whenever he had a rare downturn in form, and the "is Given world class or not?" Debate is surely one of the most idiotic conversations that's ever gone on in this board. I feel like I would if my lass left me for some blinged out kid with a Porsche. Rationally? He can go fuck himself. I refuse to cave into the "he's done enough for us, good luck to him" attitude. Fact of the matter is he knows as well as anyone that we're well in the shit and that the very survival of this club rests on the next few months. Is it really that hard for him to put his move off till the summer? What the fuck is he going to do by moving to Man City 6 months early, help them finish the season at tenth? He's ditched us in our hour of greatest need for a club that won't get UEFA football this season and might not even get it next season, never mind the Champions league. The truth is that he's just no longer bothered with us anymore, he's nothing more than a rat abandoning a sinking ship and pocketing a bit of cash on the way. He cares absolutely nothing for this club or its fans and I refuse to care about him. I hope he breaks his leg or gets replaced with Buffon in the summer. Preferably both. Fucking asshole.

They've been on the up a tiny bit since they seemed destined for relegation the last time we beat them. They're also relatively competent at beating s*** sides. We're really, really bad away. Signs aren't good, but as a loss here is the end for us, I'm not even going to entertain the option.

Agree that there wasn't much difference in performances between teh two. Butt always has a decent game when he's coming back off two weeks rest. That was the best we'll probably see from him. Nolan was signed 24 hours ago and linking up with new teammates for the first time. He can only get better.

Hopefully. Oba and Shola up front just takes frustrating to a whole new level.
