WUM.

Sounds decent.

What I am eluding to the fact that your opinion is always the correct one, and everyone else's opinion is pointless and boring. I am also suggesting that the majority of your opinion is based on what you read on twitter. I cunningly kept all of this concise, and I even refrained from using capital letters to keep in theme with your username. All of this was done effortlessly and within a few seconds, such is my wit and banter. Of course, I have now explained my actions and cunningly evil plot, so that means I'm either going to be foiled by James Bond or Scooby Doo. No. /taxfree

Err, the transfer window's closed.

How easily does "HOOF IT UP TO SHOLA!" translate into Italian? How do you say our current fullback's cant play football and that is one of the main reasons we play hoof ball? Even Colo and Steve Taylor end up whacking it long, and when you include the keeper, that's 5 out of our 11 who are thumping the ball downfield. If anything Simpson is probably the most likely to try and play it forward. Santon will help, but tactical mastermind Pardew will also need to encourage the players to pass more. Simpson's the most likely to play it forward? Absolutely no chance. I do see Simpson carrying the ball forward occasionally, although he always looks like he wants to get rid of it asap. He's no Enrique though, obviously. Would still say Colo takes it forward the most. Taylor also tries to take it forward too. Definitely to a lesser extent than last season and that includes Krul too who also looked to keep it short. Hopefully we'll see that return when Santon is included in the side and we start playing better football.

*chuckle* of course, you do realise that now I've said all that, it'll be a 14 goal thriller, don't you? More than likely! Having withdrawal symptoms of football anyway; this will be my first game of the season so there's no way I'll be giving up my ticket. If it turns out to be a good game it'll be a bonus.

Insightful stuff from Brummie. So...anyone wanna buy my ticket?

Huh? Think you were looking at the wrong full back. Raylor was diabolical too but I expect that from him anyway. Simpson is constantly out of position, usually leaving us with just three across the back.

His positioning was diabolical as usual, as highlighted at HT when he featured on every one of the chances they replayed.

Are we playing tonight or is this just an extended showing of some of the highlights from this weekend?

Penalty taker. Nolan and Barton gone. It's either Lovenkrands or Shola. Shola is Mr. 100% when it comes to pens. Cabaye.

Bingo.

Aye, that plays a massive part in deciding the outcome of tonight's game.

Despite a lot of the doom and gloom in this thread, it's a very real possibility too.

Exactly. Raylor is not going to be a mainstay in the side but he does deserve a place at the moment. It will certainly be interesting to see if AP has the balls to make a big decision. He does, but playing him in midfield would be criminal. Santon also has to play meaning he should only get a place in the side at RB which I'd be happy to see happen.

Cook's resigned because of that email. Utter cunt.

Thought it was nailed on we were signing him?

Need to add Forster to the loan list.

What?

Will be absolutely delighted if this is true and we're signing him to play at RB.
