Sounds like its been a good match.

Good stuff.

Come on Newcastle, let's take it to them this half.

Any optimism I had before is seriously waning now

Duff ahead of Jonas. Jesus fucking wept.

Celtic don't really need to spend £8m+ on a new keeper when they have Boruc though

Considering how good a servant Shay's been to this club he should be allowed to leave if he wants to imo. But not to Man City or Spurs

Can't say I blame him. Still a legend in my eyes if he leaves or stays.

He's 26. How much better can he get exactly? As a centre half. A lot I would say. I thought he was 24 tbh, but Rio is 30. Has he not improved in the last 4 years? He was good enough for Man Utd and Leeds to pay £18m+ each before he was 26, so there's your answer. What's that got to do with how much he's improved over the last 4 years though? I got the impression the Captain was implying that he felt Ferdinand has massively improved in the last 4 years. I disagree, he was quality before then and the transfer fees reflect that. Just because he was class before 4 years back doesn't mean to say he hasn't improved since then though. I'd say playing alongside Vidic these past couple of seasons has done Rio a fair few favours as a player. No reason why Coloccini or Bassong, maybe even Taylor can't have a similar effect on this Bougherra bloke if he signs.

Villa score, Zayatte og.

Or Bullard.

Stelios Giannakopoulos?

I have a very worrying feeling they'll stay up

He was our most positive player by a long shot, actually looking to run with the ball and pass it forward. Wasn't his best game but he assisted Duff in the build up to our disallowed goal with a class ball and linked dangerously with Shola down the right in the second half. Easily our best midfielder even if he's been a bit off colour these last couple of games.

Bit of a risk bringing in all this young, foreign talent into a bit of a relegation scrap though. Would be better to go for experienced players tried and tested at Premiership level surely?

Good post, couldn't agree more.

Did you think Keegan should have been sacked for the 5-1 against Man Utd last season? What about Sir Bobby for the 6-2 humping we took? No because they were good managers where such results were freak events, managers that could come back from such defeats. I know what a hypocrite you'll say, I don't give a f*** though. He wants sacked for this defeat. Should Phil Brown be sacked for the two bollockings Hull have been dealt by the Mackems and City?

They were saying it was Abdoulaye Faye on Soccer Saturday.

Liverpool had one disallowed as well tbf.

And this is based on that one effort on goal? What about that great ball he played in for Taylor with his weaker foot?

The transfers and money he spent over the last year or so never happened then? We've made no big, extravagant purchases under him, granted. Coloccini was a big, and by no means cheap, signing iyam.

Fucking hell. Absolutely awful defefending.

Good start, great ball from Jonas and run by Ameobi. Come on lads!

Send a rocket up their arses Joe and we can get something from this.
