He would have to be blowing JK away in training to get ahead of Martins, Owen and Viduka. It'd be nice to see him get a fair bit of game-time coming off the bench, if we can afford to (i.e. if we're comfortable enough, and it's worth taking one of the aforementioned forwards off). For what it's worth PhysioRoom has him down as doubtful for the Stoke game. Same goes, in all seriousness, for Nile Ranger if he's still playing well at reserve level. And LuaLua. RM - We are in a relegation fight we cant be giving game time away in the PL for players to adjust or grow as we have to wing games or at least not get beaten. Wegner rarely f***s around in PL by giving his League cup kids a run out for 10 or 20 mins in the PL. Hear Hear. We are not in a position to gamble on those unproven yet in the Premier League. I agree mostly - but if we're three or four goals up with ten minutes to go, I see no harm. Although I do admit, there's more chance I'll win the lottery this weekend - and I haven't even bought a ticket.

Personally, I think the ones that will stay past the end of the season are Harper and Ameobi. I can see the rest leaving (although unsure on the youngsters). Really hope that Edgar and Butt go.

His signings have been shit though, I mean Paul Robinson... Robbie Fowler... and this Keith Andrews bloke, from MK DONS ffs who he played against Arsenal and surprisingly got beat 4-0

Was wondering in the Euros why he started every game and others got dropped or rotated or whatever... he was dogshit every game.

I managed to get him on loan for Mansfield fwiw.

THERE IS A DEADLINE OF 9PM, 12TH DECEMBER 2008 to declare your interest in this game. After that, time will be spent deciding teams and confirming people's attendance and the location, then Stephen will book the place and get prices each and stuff nearer to Xmas/New Year. GET POSTING

Loving Sammy and Nile like.

Just saw that on Look North. He really is a king in press conferences.

He's said on .cock that he's starting with two of the three, but won't be scared to switch to 3 up top if he needs to.

I think he'd fucking hate you, except for the fact that he probably couldn't be bothered.

sounds like CM then. cos we have literally none. You two sound like Alan Smith and Big Sam. If I was Big Sam I'd probably shunt him wide right.

fixed, otherwise spot on.

sounds like CM then. cos we have literally none.

Next to Henry Winter's column in said magazine, his opinion is tripe.

Abdoulaye Faye is a doubt as well.

Two words and one emote re the UEFA CUP: Antoine Sibierski

I posted this in the Joke thread as well:

wormy

Here's my chant: With a nik-nak paddy twat sucking Quinny's bone Angry Keano, fuck off home!

I'm happy to sort of float if we're top heavy of strikers and play "in the hole". I want some form of long ball being used from my team btw cos I'm an aerial dominater.

I honestly do think this year it will be WBA, and two of Stoke, Sunderland, Blackburn and Fulham.

he fits the sunderland criteria list: 1) is a paddy 2) is a radgy bastard

Roeder's said he isn't leaving. Although saying that, he is a sour faced idiot.
