Sambuca? Oh wait, Xisco was there.

Him and Xisco are both victims of circumstance. This. I wish they both would've been fit the whole season and we had proper managers that would/knew how to play them.

I'd much rather take a chance with this guy if he's fit rather than having Butt "running" the midfield, to be honest.

Why is he still training here, does he like the Tyneside weather (which is admittedly pretty good right now)? Probably because he's contracted to the club and is a professional.

very precocious from a ten year old!

Our major issue with moving the ball around is the glaring lack of movement off the ball. The majority of our players just stand there with their arms pointing at the ground waiting for the ball without making an intelligent run. This is why Lovenkrands is invaluable. He moves intelligently off the ball and will hopefully make some of the other players in the squad perk their ears up and take a look.

Likewise, my friend is getting married on a safari a week before the WC and I am the best man so I will be there and we are doing the honeymoon @ the WC because he can get free tickets through his company. Really looking forward to it.

Whoa buddy, slow down - you're starting to sound like Big Sam.

Imagine what Inter will do next season with Zlatan and Drogba up front?

He's doing well at Standard Leige. Tall and good with the ball at his feet, does well in the national team as well. Always had a soft spot for him and wish Big Sam would've made his loan permanent.

Harper Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique Guthrie Barton _____ Jonas Owen Carroll ___ Martins When everyone is fit. You spelt Viduka wrong. I was speaking realistically.

God forbid HTT try and be positive. Shows what's wrong with a lot of football supporters. Nothing is ever good enough.

Loved the one he scored against Reading. His best, easily - the dip and swerve were sick.

Nah yesterday Shearer hit the nail on the head, he used him as an impact sub. yeah, after we'd not threatened once all game, genius, he clearly got it wrong man Right, when Jonas was on how much was he kicked and battered ? You put him on from the start, and you'll have a crocked player after 20 minutes. Jonas doesn't take the physical game well, it was the right decision, if it wasn't for his poor decision to start Carroll over Shola we would have won. The best managers LEARN from their mistakes..lets see That's if you think Shearer made a "mistake" by not starting Jonas. He clearly was using him as an "impact" sub and it worked great. Let the workhorses like Duff, Nolan, Guthrie run the defence tired and then let Jonas who has a bit of real pace come on and run at them some more when they are already tired. Jonas would have not been as effective had he started yesterday.

I noticed after we scored, for the last ten minutes or so, Beye was playing in front of Butt for the majority of the rest of the match, leaving Edgar and Bassong at the back by themselves. I really liked his mobility in that position - he made more runs than the majority of our midfielders for sure.

This post is as delusional as your posts about Nolan in another thread. Shearer is gone at the end of the season and people need to not get their hopes up.

How's that work? He's probably better than a lot of what we have, but overall he's pretty ordinary and looks shit in Chelsea's side. It's more an indictment of our squad than Malouda.

Malouda is pretty ordinary. That being said, he'd do well in our squad no doubt, he just looks shit playing for in a squad like Chelsea's.

You can tell by the background colors - dead giveaway. In photoshop you can just change the hue of the entire image which is what they did until they got red instead of blue. The background of the boro image is all green instead of what it should be like in the Chelsea picture.

Really looking forward to seeing that, I hope it happens.

The recruitement process won't change just cos Wise has gone, the infrastructure and scouting network has now being set up. The recruitement will not be an issue compared to relegation, if we go down we won't have the PL reserve league to play in and will have to try and develop our young players against the likes of Barnsley, Hartlepool reserve side, whereas our kids play against similar aged players currently, god knows what kind of reserve players are in the championship and league 1 & 2 teams! If we go down, our reserve squad will be our first team squad no doubt.

Enrique's english is much better than it was only a few months ago.

Ashley will offer him the job and Shearer will turn it down. That's hardly Ashley's fault.
