Hope it goes to a freeview channel.

I'm getting bored of this now.

Some more folks signing up to this would be nice.

Can i just randomly laugh at this again please. Fuking hell. To be fair, you have to think of the context: Edgar had just come off the back of a decent-ish game at home to Reading and Taylor had been piss poor for large parts of the season. We were also pretty much there in terms of safety.

Good night then was it?

This could fly. There'll be reliance upon a relevant striker to track the wing a bit, must remember that. Be good if our fullbacks got up and down too, but perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself I'm perfectly happy to just sit and make the play from deep whilst the other two can be more creative if they like. I'll help shore up one of the flanks if I need to, almost like a DRMC, if such a thing exists.

I like this two upfront with a man in the hole. A three man central midfield should work nicely in that case...

Don't worry, Hughton will be there to make training really excellent and competitive.

When in actual fact, the truth was no other manager 'had enough of a tiny mind to take the job'.

You mean midfielders like Brian Howard. Sorry I meant Steve the Leicester bloke. No offence mate, but Kezman is one of the biggest cunts ever. Speaks volumes.

I don't know, I'm just talking about what might work. If there's no other volunteers to play there on the day then I will, although I haven't played there in a while.

5 man midfield is retarded idea. Our goals aren't going to be a product of beautiful Brazil-like pass and move goals, they're going to be bundled in by whoever is mooching around the goal, so the more people mooching around said goal, the better. We lost the game in midfield. I reckon we should have at least one person who sits just in front of the back four (me) and then at least two who are sort of floating behind the striker but giving support. The other two just being "mixed" central mids. It makes sense btw.

Tomas Radzinski Simeon Jackson Paul Stalteri that's it.

Would rather play DMC if it's possible. Toying with the idea of going for a 5-man midfield.

I'll try and organize the back four, basically just need to step up when we get a GK and boot it more.

There is no way that Spurs will finish top 8 next season.

He's been using that same gag for months man, keeps saying to me on msn "so I'll put you in as reds captain yeah?" At least I find different, creative ways of telling him he's a porky bastard.

I don't really want to be captain, it's just Nixon's shit banter (far shitter than yours gimp) when he keeps telling me I'm reds captain. Anyone who particularly wants to be captain can be.

Both got draws there though. Best to play them on the opening day.

I think 2sheds is a good poster usually but I find some of his comments in this thread simply baffling.

No one is saying that. He never said 'probably' at all his exact words were "It WAS a stupid tackle AND he deserved to be sent off. From the moment he uttered those words there was no chance of getting this decision appealed, none whatsoever. That's what you aren't getting. The rest of your posts discusses events after this interview so its pointless addressing them. So your issue is that basically you didn't think it was a red card? Well I did. Even if the decision was debatable there was no chance on earth of it being rescinded. Absolutely no chance whatsoever, and it's clear that Shearer knew this. What about the argument they had in front of the rest of the players? Is it pointless addressing that? The argument they had in front of the players AFTER that interview Dave? When Shearer remembered he wasn't still a pundit on MOTD? TBH I wouldn't like to comment on it but Shearer is obviously unhappy with Barton in the post match interview and I don't know if Barton saw him give his comments live on TV. Everything else would be speculation but to be publicly condemned and hung out to dry by your own manager would not have helped the situation. To repeat Fredbobs comments - when does Fergie ever act like this? As for the decision I see its now 'absolutely no chance whatsoever' of it being rescinded whereas before shearer said it was 'probably' deserved. Hmmmmmmmmmm All I'll say is if we bothered to appeal Bassong's red we really should have had the chance to appeal Barton's. Only there was no chance of that after that interview was there? perhaps shearer was just irate that barton has not only undergerformed in his time here but has behaved on the pitch like a complete t*** too many times ? Perhaps an irate manager was not what we needed. fairly sure i've even heard wenger and mourinho be honest on a couple with some sendings off. if we had a manager like ferguson who lied through his teeth all the time (as opposed to wengeres most the time) i'd have little respect for him. i really don't think man utd would be anyworse a team if ferguson was honest if one of his players got sent off.....do you ? i remember robson being honest on this sort of thing...who do you respect more as a man...robson or ferguson ? It's a bit wierd that. The last sentence doesn'yt appear in your post but it's there when I quoted you Anyway the answer to that is always SBR. And while I have heard Wenger and Mourinho occasionally (very occasionally) condemn their players publicly 99% of the time they either 'didn't see the incident" (Wenger) or they say nothing at all. That was what we needed after the Liverpool game, Shearer letting his emotions rule his head did this club no good whatsoever. No good as in what though? Did we play worse in the last three games because Barton wasn't allowed to train? It can definitely be argued that him not being around could have improved morale.

Perhaps an irate manager was not what we needed. Aye, we needed Chris Hughton to ruffle his hair and say "you cheeky little scamp!". You are ignoring the fact that Barton was no longer of any use to us that season: he was suspended from playing (because of Barton's past reputation and because it was certainly a red card, Shearer knew it would never get rescinded), he had an argument with Shearer and slagged off some of the players, therefore he was no good in the dressing room or even in training. So what point was there having him in either of those upsetting people or causing trouble, especially during such a critical stage of the run in? Shearer was right to tell the media that it was a stupid tackle and a red because a) would never get rescinded and b) he had no intention of looking to get it rescinded.
