Torres, we havn't seen much of him this season, but from what we have seen he has been very effective.

I think between Gallas and Toure. i went for Toure in the end, as he is still so young (26) but still so good, very consistant, and very good defender. For me John Terry is way too over-rated.

I'm stuck between the 3 of them.

I can't believe some people are talking about Allardyce leaving tbh, its pointless.

We really know nothing about Ashley, or how he goes about his business. From the little i have read though, Ashley is quite patient and easy going, in some financial columns he has been slated for being far too laid back about his businesses, this suggests that he will not panic and probably give SA some time to sort it out.

Pace is an absolute necessity away from home, you need it as your under the cosh at away games, and you have to counter, ok Martins is fast as anything, but he can't do it all game, so Zoggy should have started too. Just the basics of football. Typical Butt really have a good game one week, be positively crap the next. Sam needs to find his best team away from home, and quickly.

He just can't pick his best team, his starting midfield was piss poor really four CM's filling out a midfield, if you play that narrow you never win games, especially away games.

We play winning football thats all that matters tbh.

We play sexy football.

Disagree. It was a hard fought draw. Congratulations Glenn. haha

Tottenham are about to fall i think. In fact they are the new us in a way. When sir bobby was here we had a few class seasons with him, then we have a poor start to the next season for many reasons a la the lads got cocky and thought that they could club more than train and be good professionals (not all the players, but some of them), we should have kept bobby on to turn it round, but we go and get a bastard of a manager instead, and we have the fall from grace, gone from being a top champions league team to midtable stragglers, and now we are picking up the pieces. Spurs are in huge danger in doing this, i believe Jol could turn it round and turn it into a decent season, but the way its looking, he will get sacked and if Spurs do a Bolton and get an absolutely shite replacement then Spurs will do what we did, decline, and its really shite, as it has been for us the last couple of seasons.

Owen didn't really do that well against tottanham, he like martins lost the ball on 3 or 4 occasions. He got knocked off the ball, had a few bad touches and did a couple of misplaced passes, but then again so did Oba, they are strikers, they aren't supposed to have amazing passing etc, thats the whole point in a midfield. Everyone tries to big up his link-up play and stuff, when really its not as good as everyone makes out, he even said in that interview with tubes ages ago, "i know i don't do alot out the box, and i am not known for my work outside the box, more of my work is in the 18 yard area", sums it up really.

Shame you seem so bitter about him, eh?

Like your review of Emre mate, I didn't notice he was playing either Haha just changed it.

Ratings and opinions Given - 6 - Not much to do really, some good catches and seems to look more commanding of his defensive unit. Beye - 7 - Good Pace, still needs to learn about the league though. Very solid going forward, and at the back, He only got done twice, as did Enrique. Still he's a great defender, but my only concern with him is his final ball. Still a fan though. Cacapa - 8.5 - My MOTM, absolutely perfect defender, no more needs to be said. Faye - 8.5 - MOTM was always between him and Cacapa imo, both were fantastic and have the perfect bruiser and brains partnership, absolute beast in the air. Enrique - 7 - Solid enough, but like Beye needs to learn the ropes. Technically he is excellent his left foot is something else, he isn't too rash doesn't dive in but sometimes his positioning is questionable. As a player streets ahead of Taylor, this is the difference between a Spanish 21 year old and an English 21 year old. Zoggy - 7 - Not massively in the game today, was too greedy at times, his dribbling ability scares defenders. Emre - 7.5 - Creative and used some skill, good worker and a decent shift put in. Butt - 8 - I don't like him and for someone of his experience he gets far too wound up, he was good today though effectively breaking down attacks, and simply passing the ball along. Geremi - 7 - he keeps the ball well, hardest worker on the team, he is a good passer too, Shouldn't take as many set pieces as he does but i'd rather have him in the middle than Butt. Owen - 6.5 - Where is the pace?, its just vanished. Anyway such a clever footballer, makes up for it, People saying his link up play is excellent, well it wasn't tonight lost the ball on 3 or 4 occasions, had more time for that one-on-one too. Martins - 7 - His pace makes defenders s*** themselves, had Dawson and Huddlestone(?) all over all night. Nice flukey chest control for the goal, and a decent finish tbh. He got round the back on some good ocasions. Can be the headless chicken but he had an intelligent and calm link-up game tonight, and with his pace and skill he is great on the counter, he is a much improved player this season, too greedy at times, but he's a striker, so who cares. Subs Milner - 6.5 - Solid and provided cover for Enrique. Roz - 7 - Energetic. Barton - 6 - good to see him back, some good passes and positioning, one bad pass, not the end of the world.

What ever happened to him, he used to be a very good player 4/5 years ago.

It'll be him and Owen I'd have thought with Viduka and Ameobi injured and Smith suspended. Hope so anyway. The starting team will be very interesting, but if they do start, its what we've been waiting for all season.

He scored a good one-on-one against Mexico, both of his goals were pretty awesome imo. Hope he gets a start against Spurs now after those goals.

Has she locked herself out of her house? Wonder where she left her keys...

Not as good as Van der Vaarts wife imo but still pretty good. if i remember rightly then little Micky's wife wasn't too shabby either.

Miss Willhelmson ain't bad at all.

Aye, but did you see who was waiting for him after the match? http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7863/240pxeuphemioyemilianozxk0.jpg Who? He means the shooters at the petrol station.

Sylvie Van der Vaart has it in the bag, she is lush ffs.

Because if he says it and he barely plays, then he will look like a t***? Who cares? I'd rather he said that than 'I'm going to sign and my target is a place on the bench'. I really don't know anything about him, being ambitous is a good attribute, but stating something so early on is a bit stupid, as his words could easily back fire on him.

Because if he says it and he barely plays, then he will look like a twat?
