POIDH.

Something that has worked very well for us all season thank you very much. No it hasn't. We've scored the fifth most goals in the league despite only passing the ball sideways and backwards. seems like people still think football is played like FIFA. And we've also struggled in numerous games due to not having somebody in the midfield who can open up a defence. Nah we've strugled because our strikers haven't been good enough, or because of defensive mistakes, or injuries/suspensions or because our better players have just had an off day. It is those issues which mean that we are 'only' midtable. The only space for a creative player at the club is left wing or up front. Ben Arfa should get one of those and that will be enough. My concern is that if he doesn't play a perfect through ball every match (this won't happen) people will still be saying we aren't creative enough and want to rip out even more of a very good team. Aye, ok, it's because of those reasons and nothing to do with a lack of creativity.

Were they Ashley? This is the same Fabio Capello that took Shaun Wright-Phillips to the World Cup as well as recently selecting Jay Bothroyd and Kevin Davies. Fabio knows best though, eh Ashley? Fucking moron.

An well trusted source of information. The same one that said Adam Johnston was going to sign? Aye, that's who they're renaming Shearer's after.

It would be superb if we could. Throw Barton and Tiote into that little group too and it's pretty impressive.

Really hope Shefki bags himself a goal (preferably at SJP) before the end of the season. On every picture I've seen of him, he looks a thoroughly likeable character and it seems as though he's played his part in keeping the morale high amongst 'this group of lads'.

"Frankly, Ousmane is a little pussy."

Eh? It's only 1-0 ffs.

He certainly didn't read the papers after scoring that goal against Man City some time back http://cache1.asset-cache.net/xc/90999533.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D0F384740CAF1A6DBE064A6E8253CF4FD65F8042750CB31464 It's only the Racing Post to be fair to him; wouldn't really class that as a newspaper as such. Don't know where the picture is gone that I've posted in that post but the Manchester derby was clearly the big headline in it. On the post I quoted there's a pic on it and it is about the Manchester derby but the headline reads "Owen's late strike piles more misery on layers" because it's Racing Post.

How exactly?

A faggot ?? No, no, no ... If i understand well, it is not very nice for him ! He is a handsome man and he likes women ! You can't really say that about him lol. But if you think that men who wear pink shirt are all faggot you should open your mind lol You tell him, mimi!

Captain for the next two games?

Anyone found Karl Henry yet? Not been seen since roughly 3pm yesterday.

Wolves play some good passes, the question for them is how are they going to come back after todays game and how will they cope with Doyle being out. If Doyle was still around then I would say they were the best teams in the bottom 4, without him I don't know. Wigan are gone, West Ham are gone, and one from Birmingham, Blackpool, Wolves, Aston Villa, and Blackburn. No they aren't.

I'm beginning to question how good he actually is. Gives away so many fouls that are completely needless and for someone who's meant to be considered one of the best in the world, he gets the piss taken out of him far too easily at times.

Aye, they've been chasing him for a while now.

You'd have been right to because they still aren't to be fair.

With Jonas and Ferguson on the books? Wouldn't a right winger be a higher priority? Nope. We've got Barton. Purely in terms of investment into the first team, left-wing would be a position i'd look at first. Why? Cos we've got £35m to really, really push on. The triumverate of Barton-Nolan-Tiote is set, but Jonas blows hot and cold. I love him but he's frustrating because his final ball, eight times out of ten is poor. Although he's one of the biggest workers in the side, and he's generally imperative to the way we play cos of his pace, if we're seriously thinking about pushing on for Europe i think he's the weakest link in the midfield. If what we saw in injury time today was a frequent thing, it'd be a different matter, but that was a rarity. CB, LW, ST would be my three main priorities to seriously bolster the first team. Those are our prospective Bellamy+Robert signings imo (if you know what i mean). With our squad fully fit, there's stacks of potential. I wouldn't consider anyone expendable - we have to build on what we have and progress. Seeing Jonas on the bench every week would A, be a brilliant option and B, mean we've improved (what's currently an okay) midfield. And re: Barton being in the middle. It's just a ridiculous, ridiculous thought. If we put him back there we'll have moved a step backwards. I honestly can't believe how anyone can want him in there. Condescending as hell, hold my hands up, but i fear you don't get the way we play if you don't think his best position is on the right. Where did I say I wanted Barton to be moved from the right? All I did was question why the LW position would be somewhere you'd look at first. More than happy with Jonas there personally, don't think he's been given enough credit for a lot of his performances this season. I'd also say that we need a striker or two before we even think about any other positon.
