Shola being back is the least of our worries. Having Butt in the middle is the biggest. What kind of formation are we going to have with Butt and Smith in the middle? There's no linking between the strikers and the back four now. Two defensive mids.

It's f***ing pathetic tbh. Understatement. Mind-boggling decision. we need to protest? Doesn't do anything.

Yeah would love to get a loan deal for him for the rest of the season come January. He'll be rather useless in the Prem but in the Championship you can't deny his record.

You think teams that win the league in N.Ireland and Wales should be in the Champions League ahead of the likes of Arsenal/Chelsea/whoever doesn't win the league that season? Pthmadog vs Barcelona and some N.Irish team vs Inter Milan...sounds amazing whilst Chelsea play Real Madrid and Arsenal vs Juventus in the UEFA Cup. Think this is a bad idea but each to their own. While you have a point, the thing I took most from it was the part bolded. I hate all of the group stages and what-not. They are designed just to give whatever teams are in the CL more TV revenue.

Not going to be a big miss if he's gone I'm afraid.

Are we dropping Nolan, then? He'll have a match suspension surely?

Nah, didn't even think about it, sad to say. But Landon Donovan is there!@#$@ He does a lot of commentary that I hear on FSC, but I guess he's also a pundit for ESPN now as well. It's about as weird as seeing Kevin Keegan being a pundit on the ESPN set too.

Mike, not down at Nevada Smiths? They keep showing it on ESPN and it looks awesome down there right now.

Interesting draw for England/US. Both could very likely come out of the group but both Algeria and Slovenia could be dark horses. Looking forward to the Cup even more now.

Yeah the Arsenal fans have it so bad. Being in the Champions League must be a drag.

At the moment it is quite clearly Lovenkrands. When Shola is back I hope to see a Loven/Shola partnership up front.

This.

This is what Capello is doing well. He's not picking the best players, he's making the best team, and that is far more important than making sure "big names" get minutes on the pitch in SA. Are you agreeing with me there? To me, the best team is the team best equipped to win the game and burdening Rooney with scoring all the goals by playing Heskey won't equip us very well imo. No I am not agreeing with you. Having Heskey in the squad is much more useful than having Defoe in the squad. Heskey offers much more and is a better foil for our other strikers.

Okay I am way late to this party so if anyone could tell me why Lee Clark's nickname is Jigsaw that would be appreciated.

Good. Would be happy to have him on board. Will be a great signing to help us go up and also to be our RB for the first few years of being back in the Prem when we will be in serious need of some rebuilding. Has a great attitude and will do a job for us.

What's the injury?

Sweet. Didn't know that. I'm gonna be living in State College for a few months (and spending Christmas in the suburbs of Philly). Philadelphia Union is gonna be based in Chester though, this scares me. Why does that scare you?

if I remember correctly, he wanted to stay but it was SAF that moved him on because Tevez kind of usurped SAF through the fans.

Assuming Mike Ashley is dead last fan ownership is a step up, surely? I would wager that even at this point having Mike Ashley is better than NUST running the club.

What a bad bad idea. These are some of the last people I would want in charge of this club.

Is that a strip club? Because it is here in Florida.
