I put him in the same boat as Shearer, he has little to no experiance. Also i wonder how much of Germanys success was down to the assistant(and current coach) Low. Klinsmann left and their form has carried on under him.

There's a couple of better options out there, but i would definitaly take him over Redknapp, Hughes etc. He plays football the right way and did well to get Spurs to 5th twice in a row.

We're supposed to know our place. Personally i think Tottenham and Newcastle generally have attitudes to be admired, both have proper ambition, and that's what sport is about. I hate these people that are happy with mediocrity.

I'll start watching cricket or darts, or i'll top myself.

Beggers can't be choosers. Having said that i think Van Gaal is a managerial beast, he plays my kind of football.

Diarra, our midfield needs to be the priority IMO. It's our biggest weakness. Having said that i would be over the moon with Laursen.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he left in the summer, if Villa don't give him what he wants then he won't have any bother finding a club that will. The sad thing is it will probably be someone like Chelsea again. Gits.

Oh god.

Because Taylor has a history of dummy spitting?

I can't see it happening but he is fucking good defender, certainly one of the best outside the top 4.

This is more like it tbh, ambitious, young, and talented players are what we should be going for. Not stale grafters like Nolan.

How on earth is Owen still world class? He wouldn't even get in a top 20 of strikers. Too generous to Smith, Butt, and Cacapa aswell IMO.

Kazenga looked like a decent technical player, i'd like to see more of him this season.

When i saw him trot out on to the field i thought someone had won a competition. If he's an athlete i'm a monkeys uncle.

Surely this is only a good thing, it means Alan "Smudge" Smith can have a regular role upfront.

Lollocks!!

He needs to swallow his ego and change the current system, it obviously isn't working. Play our best players where they are most effective and ditch this awful shithouse 3 man midfield. If he did this i would be very happy, the problem is i can't see it happening.

Hoorah.

I respect alot of our players actually. The only ones i don't have respect for are the talentless grafters like Barton and Smith - Plus Carr, although i would call him a grafter. Owen annoys me aswell.

Is this good enough? No. Is he doing all he can with what he's got? I fucking hope not. Are you happy with the performance from the players? No. Are you happy with the formations & tactics? Nooooooo. Are you happy with the results so far? No. Will he get it right given time? I've having my doubts. He doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes. Has the club progressed? On the field i would say no. We've had an easy run of games which makes our league position look alright, i think it will be lower come the end of the season. Is our near future with the manager? Yes. Have you felt proud at any time this season? A couple of games yes.

Derby are still rubbish, it's just that our midfield is woeful and can't control a game.

Andy Gray is just disgrace tbh, he treats a live game like it's "the Andy Gray" show, like we've tuned in just to hear what his deinitive opinion on absolutely everything. And the chap who said he favours the top 4 is right, i remember against Arsenal Oba was called offside at the end of the first half, the replay showed he was clearly on and he kept saying "Ah 50/50, 50/50. Bollocks to 50/50, look at the replay you fat little pervert!!!

£15m?! All the numbers i've heard have been half that.

Crouch isn't exactly shy of diving himself, the cheeky git.
