He's still their manager though, don't forget that if/when they are relegated because it'll still be him that sent them down.

Timmy Krul.

Hopefully not. It wouldn't do us any good at all.

:celb: Roll on Saturday!

Good article, apart from mentioning that Alan Smith has had an excellent season.

Has anyone actually thought that there just isn't a place for him on the bench rather than jumping to the conclusion that he's done something wrong? Although I'd rather have him on the bench over Best, Hughton isn't going to drop his own signing from the squad.

Crazy price.

Barca are a juicy 9/5 against Real with Stan James.

Robbie Earle: "It's either a muscle injury or a confidence injury." What the fuck is one of those?

Just logged on to my Paddy Power account to find a free £2 bet to use on the games part of their website. Had two spins on Monopoly and ended up withdrawing £20. Thanks Paddy.

I have the same feeling. Hope to God they're all still here come September 1st.

If anyone wants to buy me a pint , you're more than welcome. He hasn't won anything yet man! No doubt it'll go to Nolan.

this Realistic?

The smug twat was walking around London Road on Saturday like he owned the place. Was hoping somebody would lamp the utter prick.

What he say? "I can't understand why Chris Hughton is getting so much praise, I'm the one who picks the team!"

I said that at the time, we gave that experience to a Chelsea player who was younger than Kadar and we've done the same more recently with Hall who will probably be going back to QPR at the end of the season. Not forgetting that Hall is pretty useless too. Hall has been fine when he's played. Baffling comment. He's been average, just like the rest of his career. The game that stands out for me is against Bristol City, when he barely won a thing in the air mainly due to him not getting off the ground for some strange reason. Kadar won more in the air than he did when he came on. Bringing in average defenders like Hall and Khizanishvili was a decent move by Hughton but they should only have been backup and not been chosen ahead of our own talent, halting their progression in the process.

Manchester United for a start. Really? Well they don't play 4-4-2 for a start (but i did say "any formation tbh"). How many times have Nani and Valencia started together because Park isn't an out and out winger and starts a lot of games. I think you'd be surprised how many times both Valencia and Nani have started together.

Manchester United for a start.

Collison and Noble would be the two first on my list if West Ham go down. Although not spectacular, Noble is a very tidy footballer whereas Collison offers a little more going forward. Diamanti would also be a good addition as well as Behrami. I'd also be looking to try and nab Stanislas to back Jonas up.

I'd like to see us go in for a few Spurs players. I know Jamie O'Hara has already been mentioned but I'd also like to see us make a move for David Bentley, Alan Hutton, and Adel Taarabt too. Don't think any of them are particularly that unrealistic either.

Sit down Phil Thompson.
