Alan, shut the fuck up.

Regardless of the first point, his kicking is still poor. His kicks often don't even reach as far as Ba and Cisse.

Gameweek 14: 1. 1-2 2. 1-2 3. 1-1 4. 1-1 5. 2-1 6. 2-0 7. 1-1 8. 3-1 9. 3-0 10. 1-2

I've said for ages we should leave Jonas back with Santon taking his place in the box. We barely have anyone in their as it is and Jonas being in there serves no purpose at all.

Sorry if it's already been posted but where has it come from about Carver only having one session a week to work on attacking?

No, it's really the other way round. Most people seem to think he's not all that for exactly the reasons you've listed. Exactly. Pisses me off when people say he isn't that good because of the players he had at his disposal.

Utterly shit as always. Premier League standard my arse. Same goes for Williamson too, completely out of their depth at this level.

Hope he resigns at half time.

Bet the guy who's suddenly seen a £2k liability pop up on his account is starting to worry a bit!

It was on Betfair.

No creative outlet with Hatem and Yohan out. Loads of injuries on top of those. Clueless manager. Woeful tactics. Out of form players. No away wins all season. Insane price.

It's a great price. 513.5 I just got. Utterly ridiculous.

Just backed us to be bottom at Christmas...

Sounds like they did tbh: "Immediately following the Premier League fixture against West Ham United on Sunday the Club went through the normal communication channels to advise the Senegalese Federation that both Papiss and Demba Ba would not be available for the international friendly match between Niger and Senegal scheduled for Wednesday, 14th November 2012, due to injury." No idea what 'normal communication channels' are in this case but we're claiming we got in touch. I'm not convinced - weren't most people of the impression Cisse would be off on international duty? I don't know the facts either of course, but even if Senegal did have a grudge against us, they'd need something to work with in order to lodge this claim, some failure/incompetence in procedure. This is FIFA we're dealing with here, remember. They probably just wrote down 'guilty' and 'not guilty' on two pieces of paper and picked one out of a hat.

As has been discussed in the other thread, how is it the club's fault?

Pretty daft thing to come out with.

Tempted to go along and watch him get picked off, the kernt. FTM!

He's still the weakest player in our first choice XI. True but even so with how we are playing at the moment i'm not sure we would get the best out of almost any signing we would make. The way we are playing is more of a concern to me at the moment than any potential signings. Whilst it by no means excuses the style of football we're currently producing, a proper RB would help us out. We're extremely unbalanced at the moment. Santon gets into good attacking positions and overlaps whoever is on the left but on the right we're pretty much solely relying on Ben Arfa to create everything. I struggle to think of Simpson getting into the box which doesn't help us out one bit. Signing a RB to replace Simpson would at least offer us another outlet down that side of the pitch.

He is. He was in a right state on Thursday, could barely stand up at about 4pm, not a clue how he made it to the game like.

Levante captain Sergio Ballesteros has been arrested after going into the Real dressing room after their game tonight and punching Pepe.
