we are missing sibierski!

its wierd like cs i didnt think he did that badly and if he had the ball played into his feet more often could have created something

least viduka set up a few chances with his back-heel-athon

martins looks well short of confidence, owen looked like he could have scored and is a proven goalscorer, how was it a stupid sub?

does anyone reckon shearer actually would turn this mess around?

how many teams have looked a million mile ahead of us in the way we play, big sam only nicks results against the big teams and he cant set up the team to beat midtable/ relegation sides. its depressing.

what?

viduka martins! ha, easily has to be smith owen or viduka owen! martins is the complete opposite in maturity in his play to owen

8!

Abdoulaye Faye - 7 David Rozenhal - 5 Jose Enrique - 4 Alan Smith - 6 Cacapa - 6 Geremi - 5 Joey Barton - 5 Mark Viduka - 5

6 is average in footy manager!

Get in. Took guts to take that pen!

3 of 4 at my house that fulham fan (bird) had aswell, tis a shite game!

i think personly the bbc's coverage of big games is the best, but unfortunately after this season that will be know more as its all on sky, itv nd setanta, shearer and hansen got it easy next year with just motd to do.

martins is the one person who can win a game for us from nothing, even though he is very inconsistent. he shouldnt be dropped!

Fulham (A) - Lose Derby (H) - Win Wigan (A) - Draw Chelsea (A) - Lose Being a bit pessimistic there so hopefully the lads will suprise me!

here setanta has completely diffferent games to sky so how can u compare them and say its miles better! its just basically premiership plus with a few more games for basically the same price, hopefully them lowering the price will cause sky to droptheirprices so it could be good in the long run..

of course we have suffered since his sacking, if he had been backed that summer rather than undermined we would be a consistent european pushing side. if he was given that season and a quality succesor brought in then thongs would be fine now. Shepherd made a big mistake sacking him and he paid with his job.

laurent put ur ego in the closet and come back to newcastle for 10 grand a week!

just seen babayaro signing on...

tackles like bartons have been given as a red before, like the 1 that was made on martins last season in a similar position. cant remember who is was against tho. would have been harsh tho!

i would get him back on a free! back up for duff nd zog, would provide some entertainment!

obviously im taking into consideration our new extra wide pitch

What Allardyce's team will be: given beye taylor rozenhal n' zogbia martins geremi butt barton milner smith (With Martins pushing up front and geremi going to right wing when attacking.) What I would play considering we are home to Birmingham: given geremi taylor beye enrique milner butt emre n'zogbia martins smith Subs: Harper, Rozenhal, Ameobi(If fit), Barton, Viduka A bit harsh to drop barton, but barton has played alot of games after returning from injury, and emre would provide that bit extra on the attacking front. He has also proved in the past he plays best with butt. Anyway, I reckon the score will be 2-1. Goals from Milner and Smith to break his duck, scoring off a corner!

i disagree, i think te approach has always been the same, but its more effective with the players that are in the system now, ie smith up front works better than viduka, and geremi isnt fast or strong enough to be a centre mid.
