[dreamland] Arsenal finishes season at sixth, sacks Wenger... Kinnear leaves after barely keeping us up. Ashley makes shock summer move for Wenger. [/dreamland]

Didn't realize we were at home. Assuming that Nolan and Oba are fit this should actually be around 50-50. (Or 33.33-33.33-33.33 if you want to be pedantic)

Two for Xisco, one for Kazenga, one for Ranger. Is this a reserve match or a N-O fanwank?

Lad can score all he wants, we'll still never see him in the first team

Sven and perhaps Scolari would both require big money to spend, Curbishley at least is proven in budget managment with Charlton and just as well because when he got some money to spend at West Ham he spunked it away. I doubt it was Curbishley who was spending multi-millions on the likes of Ljungberg and Dyer at West Ham. Seems like a much more sensible man than that.

Curbs would be an excellent appointment. Although I wouldn't think that we could get him because he'd be a bit wary of who he's working under due to how things ended for him at West Ham. Would be about on par with Steve Bruce.

Hopefully we'll get a late Christmas miracle and they'll appoint Souness.

Just worked up the guts to send a friend request to Oba. Fingers crossed

Grant's obviously a pretty decent manager. I wasn't all that impressed with him last season because I thought "meh, how hard could it be to do well with Chelsea." This season, Scolari has given me an answer: pretty fucking hard.

I'll be downright weeping if two weeks down the road, Pompey have appointed Curbishley/Grant and go to Stoke with honeymoon mode on in full force. While in the mean time we're stuck with Joe Kinnear.

Nah, you're not. They'll get a proper manager now, and we still have wor Yeah, i thought about it for a moment, realizing that we actually were fucked, and came back and erased the part about overreacting. Really is horrible news for us.

f*** f*** f*** f*** no. Probably one of the worst things that could possibly happen to us. We're f***ed.

The funny thing is that it makes it sound like Aguirre would be our second choice if Kinnear didn't sign his contract.

One of a few manu players who have been a true great and a credit to the game. Him and Scholes. Two of the best British players of their generation. and Beckham ! Nah, he's a c***. do you ? I think he's been a great player, great professional and is also a good bloke to go with it. Don't like his missus mind Haven't got the time of day for him tbh. A pretty good footballer but nowhere near the level of Giggs or Scholes imo. I also think he always comes across as a f***ing prick. He was a brilliant footballer and is probably still just as effective as Giggs or Scholes are. The tragedy ( ) with Beckham is that he's often underrated as a footballer because of his "hollywood" status.

Nolan not suspended Harper Raylor, Colo, Bassong, Enrique Duff, Butt, Nolan, Jonas Love, Oba We may even have a prayer with that team.

One centre midfielder? No thanks, as crap as Nicky Butt is. Harper Raylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Butt Nolan Jonas Duff Martins Viduka Yes, i know Kinnear won't pick that side. Actually, he probably would if Nolan wasn't suspended.

Remember how Nigeria and England had a "row" about who was going to get Ameobi?

Which one of our players is closest to an England callup? Steven Taylor?

Possibly Guthrie assuming that the stuff about him being out for the season was bollocks.

Western Brough? Kim was gash today, Fortuné was pretty good, used his body well. You been on the sauce today ? Kim is a perfectly good player who'd be doing much better in the Prem if Mowbray didn't insist on playing him either on the wing or as a holding midfielder. Needs to be given freedom to play right behind the strikers. Was doing very well for the first couple of games when he was played in the right position. Struggling because he's been pushed down the pecking order by Koren and Morrisson after coming back from injury. He was absolutely unstoppable when he was playing in Korea, should be good enough to make the squad in a mid~low table Premiership team. Koren is a decent player, plays it easy, decent shot on him. Remember him being Lillestroms stand out player when we played them in the Inter-cocopops cup n all. Kim looks too lightweight for the Prem You don't need to be huge to play attacking midfielder. He's got the skill/eye for a pass to be effective. I'm just baffled as to why Mowbray is playing him in the holding role. Might as well not play him at all.

Fingers crossed really fucking hard then.

Do you mean aside from us? There's no way we're void from that group of teams... If you must know, I'm sure plenty of clubs would love to have Oba/Jonas/Bassong Bolded the bit i was getting at. There's no way we're not "in the drop". Oh we're most certainly still right in the thick of it. Getting slaughtered by Everton and Bolton with Butt and Smith in midfield should remind people of that.

Aye, but we'll think about it when we're no longer staring down the barrel ourselves.
