US v El Salvador on now. Who the hell is this Castillo guy?

Bruce comes in, brings Zoggy and Bramble with him. Eventually he gets fired and we're right back where we started.

You mean we're not bypassing it already?!

Sounds like 4000 car horns being blown in Mexico.

Can't say anything bad about the guy. Especially if we stay up by one point.

If Kinnear comes back, he'll get the credit for keeping us up, sign on the dotted line and take us right down next year.

He'll be missed, sad to say. The assist Jonas got when Martins scored against Villa (I think) only came about because of the link up play between Duff and Jonas. He got the winner vs Spurs. The diving was infuriating, but he was the only other midfielder willing to try and take on his man.

You just answered your own question. Well aye, it's more bollocks treatment of our younger players from the coaching staff. But i'm not gonna whinge about him going out on loan; it'll do him the world of good if he puts his head down. Personally I'd rather have him here in case we need to put him on the bench during our relegation battle. In the unlikely event players get injured you know. Alright, no need to get sarcy about it. He's never gonna get a start here and his fleeting substitue appearances have been promising at best, <b>and it's like pulling teeth with these cretins trying to get him on the pitch. </b> This move will do the lad more good than harm. The bold part is what confounds me. Why start an ineffective right back over an apparently promising young midfielder? It's good for him, and it's nice to think that we've sent him down as sort of a scout.

I love Lovenkrands up front. He goes after rebounds and occupies empty space, rather than pulling an Owen and Ameobi and just becoming empty space. They need to let their balls drop and go 4-3-3. I'd have Carroll up front before Owen. He's not staying, and he's not up for the fight. For all the shit Zog got, at least you could fucking find him while watching the match.

That's something that would require an ounce of sense. Fuck that! Shola can do a job on the wing. He's a good loyal lad. Doesn't talk out of place, knows his role and trains hard. Or even Smith! :lol: I'm cracking up.

We have like 15 fucking players total, and they're loaning players out! Someone please explain it.

Lua Lua just left!

Holy fucking shit. Relegation scrap with an injury plagued team and they're loaning players fucking out.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt because the quote seems speculative. However, their actions corroborate the views expressed. I cannot fucking understand for the life of me what makes them think Kinnear is the man to keep us up. We need more than one win in the final run of matches and they're sitting on their fucking hands patiently waiting for the return of a man that's only managed to win five over the entire season!

Not in the MLS. For the most part North American teams stay away from B&W stripes due to its common usage by referees (especially in basketball and American football). A minor league team called the Richmond Kickers used to play in B&W but they changed to red a few years back. I think that was the only one. Thanks, some new team should do it, maybe Philly? It'll never happen. It's like CaliMag says. Between referees and footlocker employees, black and white stripes aren't the same here.

saw them play Real Salt Lake at home when I was over there in September. Is Angel one of the best paid players in the league? Looked so unmotivated and half-hearted. Must be easy money. I have no idea how much he makes, but even in full don't give a shit mode, he seems to still be the best on the team.

Oh my god we must avoid relegation at all costs!

Think Beye would stay as well. No clue why, but I do. I think any player that has the potential to feature for their country in the World Cup will be through the door asap.

Can't say anything bad about the way the MLS goes about expansion. NY are godawful. NUFC would put 10 past them.

Apparently she shit the bed on a major decision and hasn't reffed a top flight game since. She'd probably fit right in.

Marta>Shola

Think Martins catches extra hell because he's our only reliable goal threat. Every one of his mistakes seems bigger than they really are because we know how rare goalscoring opportunities are right now.

Didn't Nolan take one? edit: Nope.
