Sheff Wednesday turned down Eric Cantona, reckoning he wasn't good enough. Shit happens I guess.

This isn't offside, it's only offside if it's a part of your body with which you can legally score. seen it before though. must be a s*** linesman or something. Yeah, pretty much. Also the daylight rule never really existed, it was just something that shit commentators talked about making the public think that this was the case. Never been in the rulebook, that.

This has been our best season for injuries for a while. We normally have loads crocked.

Routledge missed last match with a calf problem, should be back for Watford. Lovenkrands is hamstrung, awaiting assessment. Probably going to miss a few games.

Yeah but the trouble with that argument is that Ashley, although sorting out the clubs finances, cost us millions and set us back several years by getting us relegated with ridiculous mistakes. It's always going to come back to that. Plus he had the chance to sell us to "them rich Arab blokes down the road" and didn't. He's a greedy cunt.

You could quote results from earlier this season as well when we were winning on the road and at home which would also be 'partly down to Hughton'. I'm of the opinion that should he get us promoted he deserves a to manage this club next season. I think with the kind of football we are playing now we are twice as likely to stay up than West Brom with their prettier football. An example would be Stoke in comparison to West Brom last season. In the words of Sir Bobby "Not pretty but very effective". Our players down have the minerals to play like Stoke. The midfield tend to back off when the other team attacks rather than applying pressure and looking for the ball & advancing with it when we have possession. Definitely a priority area for next season, no matter what division.

I'd say he does, just not at this level yet. He was lethal in the reserves last season & Shearer saw enough of him in training to get him tied down to a pro deal. Shouldn't really be more than a bit part player at the moment if he's not providing though. A loan next season to a league 1 or championship club should show us what he's capable of potentially.

Is that smith with 2 assists?

Out with a calf injury

I think merson was more or less right with his comments on the squad. Not too sure about AC like, but he's definitely showing some potential at the moment, that can't be denied.

Everyone on SSN reckons we'll win by 2 goals. There was an interview with jonas too.

Portsmouth REJECTED! Pay up Pompey, Pompey pay up.

I rate Cisse higher than Jones. Different types of players obviously. Rafa is a moron, he's had chance after chance to bring some good quality players in with some decent transfer budgets and he's fumbled the ball almost every play. Prick.

Ameobi w/ hamstring injury - expected back in about two weeks from now Nicky Butt w/ thigh injury - expected back in next few weeks (FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU) Jose Enrique w/ hamstring injury - expected back end of Feb / early march Steven Taylor w/ knee injury - expected back mid March Haris Vuckic w/ knee & ankle injuries - expected back into training soonish, was said to be out for 12 weeks back in early October Joey Barton w/ foot injury for a change - currently training with squad after 4 month lay off. Next few weeks

Yeah but aren't teams also meant to field the strongest possible team in the cups aswell? We all know Arsenals policy when it comes to things like the league cup... the fine stinks of trying to look like the governing body actually has some power so poke the little teams whilst they coil out a terror turd over the billy big bollocks of the leagues.

So they've been handed a fine but they don't have to pay the fine? How exactly does that work? My parking fines definitely aren't the same.

For fielding a weakened team against Man Utd back on December 15th. What a load of bollocks.

How about FIFA stop pricking about with this kind of thing and try to improve the shocking quality of refereeing in the professional game and sort out the game at grassroots level. That'd be a better use of time.

I remember that goal he gave us when we were playing West Ham in 06-07 season. One of our players was massively offside and the linesman flagged but Uriah ran over to him and said he was wrong. Any other line of work and these kind of people would be let go. I once played in a football tournament with Jeff Winter as 'celebrity' ref. Had some awesome banter on him though, proper character.

Agree with this. We're a few stops away from the pen being taken from the centre spot with the player dribbling up for a shot on goal. That s*** can f*** off. That's the shoot-out process that some high schools use in Texas for tied games. Ball is placed 35 yards from goal (easy with the grid iron stadiums we play in) and the attacker has 5 seconds to get the shot away. I was 10 minutes from going to a shootout last night (as the center ref) and luckily one team got a coupld of quick goals. Didn't want to go through the mechanics of timing the 5 secs and the drama of the shootout.....inevitably there are keeper/shooter collisions resulting in possible PK and ejections. However, all that said.....for the last-man foul, a red card and this style shot would see to deal with the infringement and replace the scoring opportunity. I thought they used a system in MLS or at least America but didn't want to say it in case I was wrong since I don't really watch them leagues. Where do the other players stand, sidelines?

I once outran Uriah Rennie in the Sheffield half marathon. Fat cunt.

Agree with this. We're a few stops away from the pen being taken from the centre spot with the player dribbling up for a shot on goal. That shit can fuck off.

He never turns up at the moment, that's the problem. The infuriating thing is that I've seen him slot some really clever through balls to the strikers before and make some tidy passes. If he applied himself, lost the blubber and made a showing for the ball he could be a fairly valuable asset, considering he's got a good strike on him and can head the ball well.

That's another thing about Hughton, he's made some proper questionable subs during matches that have infuriated me but somehow paid off. Obviously this aint for every match - Derby being a massive culprit.
