o'shea is man utds aaron hughes or o'brien, happy to sit on the bench and cover when an opportunity arises, bassong will be in a top 4 teams first choice defence in the next 5 years. Possibly!
biggest mistake was the lee bowyer summer, and the way robson was dealt with. hope he will have learned by his mistakes. Noone is going to be even near ashley for shitness though, he has got us relegated ffs. I actually would have alot of confidence in shep for 1 season promotion if it is him. I can certainly see the majority of the squad wouldnt be up for sale and a sense of football understanding and better board-management would be quickly reintroduced.
why change the team? it worked well and i dont think owen was as bad as people were making out, the one decent ball in to him it took a great save to stop him scoring a header, the only player i would consider dropping would b guttierez if enrique is back and move duff up the field
if stoke could beat hull then that side defo can
as if park would play though, he is pretty much a certainty to play in the final as is one of neville or raphael and anderson tevez evans oseah would be on the bench so the team would be much worse than that imo, we need to beat fulham and them to loose
put fiver on blackburn, bolton, eveton, villa, stoke, wigan and liverpool all to win, probs aint guna happen, dont knw me odds. i imagine stoke,eveton blackburn are the dodgy 1s
tbh with it being a night game, a tenth of the fans nw being unemployed, and this is all they are living for, and it being our most inportant game of the season, it all makes for a great atmosphere all round the ground, hopefully a good start by the lads and the prospert of vom upfront will sustain the noise.
