Hope to God that Shola bags a hat-trick.

Fuck me, did anyone see that free-kick in the Arsenal/Barnet game?

Tennis elbow.

Hopefully Guthrie, Danquah and Tozer will get some pitch time. Wonder if its Taylor or Edgar playing at RB?

Our striker pecking order right now seems to be: Owen > Martins > Viduka > Smith = Carroll > Ameobi. Where really it should be: Owen > Martins > Viduka > Carroll > Ameobi > Harper > Smith.

Yeah, loads: www.radiotimes.com Literally wet myself. How am I supposed to get updates then, refresh the official site every 2 minutes?

Right then. I'd rather we sold Smith, or Duff for peanuts and got Warnock than selling Krul.

Thing is, Krul has been injured or out on loan bar the last 2 weeks. With the emergence of Forster (Keegan gave him a new deal so he must rate him), Krul may be surplus to requirements. I must say he looked very impressive against Palermo, and will have improved since then.

Hope Bassong makes an appearance actually, would be good if we actually trialled a player in some friendlies before buying for a change.

Given Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique Milner Guthrie Butt N'Zogbia Duff Martins Subs: Krul, Forster, Smith, Edgar, Ameobi, Tozer, Godsmark. Yes, no? EDIT: When I say 'Yes, no?' I mean "Will KK play a team similar to this" not "Do you want to se this line-up".

Makes a mockery of his excuse to leave Tyneside for London. Good shout. The MLS is quite a technical league though so he will be well suited, wing play out there is more about craft and guile than pace and stamina. Better than Beckham imo.

The two things our team is lacking are pace and height. Apart from Martins and N'Zogbia, we have one of the most pedestrian teams in the league, so we need a pace injection in the centre of the park, for sure. With the exceptions of Faye and Carroll, our team is far too short to win aerial balls so another large target man and big centre half are needed. In fact, our midfield has been slow since the Parker/Butt combo. Milner would win it and pass it to Butt, and there'd be a 6 on 4. But then Butt would slowly pass it to Parker, and he'd eventually give it to Duff/Zog on the left and by that point the other team had 9 men behind the ball

Are you talking about Carroll or Krul? Carroll sorry. I saw Carroll in my local chippy a few months ago. Had a great big massive black jeep, and curry and chips.

Baboon's arse or cheerleader's arse... tough choice.

Ally beat me to it. Sure that match report was on the .com "on this day" thing recently too.

Sorry if it's already been addressed but is this game on the radio at all?

Don't worry lads, this is just going to make his inevitable goal against the Mackems even more funny.

I'd pay £3m to take the bastard off our wage list.

FYP.

Came in here to post something similar.

Aye, I doubt he'll make any decisions until the new gaffer is announced.

Hopefully he'll not like the look of Suazo and get shot. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Oliver must be gutted that rent-a-quotes Taylor and Ramage are either on holiday or have buggered off.

He needs a one to one with Glenn Hoddle to get him right in the head again.

Don't talk such shite.
