I thought Cabaye got around the pitch quite well last night. I can also see why Barton will not be offered a 4 year deal if we have Cabaye around that long and get a decent winger. Should also add if Ben Arfa comes back well then Nolan shouldn't be getting a new contract yet. We have a great togetherness at the moment but we can't get better by giving lengthy contracts to the older players. It will cause us problems further down the line. Hopefully Barton and Nolan will stay; I'd give Barton 3 years and leave Nolan with the 2 he has.

Loads of potential, no goals, crap attitude, photographed Gangsta, probably a bit unpopular in the dressing room. We are desperate for strikers and I'd have sent him out on loan but we may have just decided enough is enough. The message to the other youngsters should be; work hard and get the rewards; piss about and get sold.

Barton is the obvious one; losing Smith would be like making a new signing and would be fantastic.

He's been reading pages 6 & 7 of the N'Zog thread on SMB. Did anyone notice how well he was walking on the Lap of Honour?

I'm still pissed at that 2nd half performance - 3 million quid and the Mackems finishing above us. Fuckwits (Krul, Saylor, Ferguson, Lovelypants (not that he played well) & Barton excused).

Why the fuck did he duck for their equaliser? One thing I will not miss are his Bramble-esque, all too frequent, moments of madness when he turns inside near his own box and gives the ball away.

At least Ashley saved that £500k he was giving to the staff as a reward for finishing in the top 10 Should make the players fund after that 2nd half performance; the cooks will be spitting in their food at training for quite some time.

I had the misfortune of handling this shirt today. It's like a bad replica off EBay. The sewn on badge just tops it off. Fucking awful.

No

6 months too late; if they'd stayed up he'd have gone anyway. WH have taken our blue print for stupity and tried to "improve" it.

Bye WH; feel sorry for their proper fans but I'm glad they've gone. Hope Sheff U fans can take a little solace. If Bburn and Brum can also get themselves sent down I'd settle for that.

We can't afford to lose him for the 1st 3 games next season. Early points are vital and we gave nothing to play in our next 2 games. Would be madness to play him.

Enjoyed today: Bowyer being "Tioted". Class.

STaylor scored and did alright, Colo had an ok game but an absolute howler for their goal. Are you suggesting Colo was better than STaylor today; surely not? In case you're still thinking about it; Colo spent much of his time today pretending to try and challenge for headers while Jerome won everyone of them, he'll have a bruise tmrw in his back where Colo kept heading him. NB separate comment, different thread, but has S Carr let Jonas out of his pocket yet?

Puma fuck off - that's all.

This should be based on a regular starter, money paid and expectation. George Reilly wins by a tattie field. Frank Pingel fluked the only goal (iirc) of the game against Lpool into the Leazes End goal.

Hartlepool

Ian fucking Rush. A journeyman striker who became a legend for us. I'm doing this wrong?

At times he looked like he was playing in his own private match today.

The travelling support deserved far far better than that. No effort and 3 terrible goals. Lpool didn't play well and we carry the threat of a drunken nun. Cant wait to see who we sign.

You wouldn't think that Lpool have a European spot to go for. They should bring Carroll on to get everyone going. Jonas needs to go at the FB every time and not cross the ball early - that lad will get himself sent off.

That doesn't count as a shot

Should have a sweep on when our first strike on goal will be; I'll say 70 mins.

Wow we look well up for this. Can't see Lpool getting more than 5.

KK doesn't like MA much lol; any opportunity for a dig.
