Keegan's the man to do it.

Keegan will not be making an appearance on the pitch.

2 questions: Can Barton play at the weekend? Did Emre elbow the player in the face or was it a bad tackle?

CACAPA! He's a canny man.

Off the ball, elbow to the face.

Elbow to the face ...

Emre is sounding good, some bursts through the middle and balls in to the feet. Apparently Ashley is looking very smug now the fans are starting to realise Keegan is inside.

Sounds like Viduka is holding the ball up well for Owen.

I'm excited, but not as excited as I thought I would be.

That joke was actually made for the England job (Barwick and McClaren). Still as shit as it was originally.

Our defence has been our downfall for how many years?

f*** Fred, he's a joke and Tiago is simply a nomadic flop. I'd want him to try and bring the likes of Benzema, Ben Arfa or Nasri to our club. We need to move forward, not stay where we are.

Shearer as Houllier assistant would be perfect He should start his career as an assistant, and obiously, here would be the perfect place to start.

Look at what he did at Liverpool, he was an excellent manager and brought bags of success to Lyon too. He'd work well with N'Zogbia and Ngo Baheng and our other French speaking players like Beye, Faye and Geremi. He's also seen the true abilities of Beye, Rozehnal and Cacapa. He should know which of them are the best and who aren't good enough based on previous performances in Ligue 1 as well as the performances at our club. My first choice.

Aye, I think Owen's career will take a significant down-turn this season. ------------------ Given Carr --- Taylor --- Cacapa --- Enrique Milner --- Butt --- Emre --- N'Zogbia ---------- Owen --- Viduka -----------

Bent is essentially an upgrade of Defoe. He's is faster and more powerful, ultimately an athlete with brute force. If he can get the finishing ability that he had at Charlton back I'd have him ahead of Owen any day.

Aren't we meant to be in what I've heard as ''Informal Discussions'' with Houllier?

Great result. Good luck to him and his new, young family.

Either of them could have cleared it.

No he'd probably f*** that up as well! He has scored as many league goals as Michael Owen this season and the team he's been playing in have conceded less goals than us and have twice as many clean sheets. Not such a laughing stock eh?

In the wake of Wigan winning away from home.

He's got the job man.

I've established that you are a miserable man and/or your sole purpose on this forum is to bring everyone down to the level you are on with your negativity. People must get really bored of you. The fact people complain about Given astonishes me. He was our best or second best player against Man Utd. He has been with us for what 10 years? He's rejected advances from other clubs to remain loyal to us. We always expect players to be proud of the shirt they are playing in and to pay us back with what we put into our club. Given does this. he was more culpable for the scoreline than any other player. His fault for the first two goals which effectively ended the game Goal number 1 - The ball went along the ground under the wall after they had all jumped. There are not many goalkeepers in the world who would be able to save that. Goal number 2 - I agree, his ''clearance'' into Cacapa was very poor, but as was Enrique's and Taylor's attempts at defending. Enrique should have put the ball up the pitch, not given in back to the keeper.
