MA: Who the hell is this guy? DL: I dunno boss, I just thought he looked kinda pretty. Guy on wall: ...

Mike: "Chips or pie, I really don't care. Just get me something, would you?"

I think he should be partnered by a DM like Butt. He's got good vision and distribution, and isn't afraid to take a shot on. I particularly recall I think it was the Hull game when he just evaded a sliding tackle with ease and drifted a pinpoint pass to Jonas on the other wing. Beautiful. Guthrie's still young, I think in a few years he'll be decent Premier League material.

Man United fans wanted Ferguson out at the start.

Shearer should be given at least two seasons (unless we're going to get relegated from the Championship). We're in the second tier now, and we should take the time to properly rebuild. I genuinely believe Shearer can have the effect Keegan had, but no one could motivate the squad we have atm. Owen being Captain was just so symptomatic. Shearer's a not a fool, he will be able to assemble his own squad. Let's see what he can do, and I mean two years. If I see steps forward, I'm happy. Even baby steps, so long as they keep going forward. Because we've been going back for five years now.

Was absolutely awful for first half hour today, then seemed to get his act together a little.

Exam in the morning. Saving it for tomorrow.

No it isn't. Only for the clubs that have just come up from League 1. Especially with our gate receipts. I've said before, I'll instantly buy a season ticket whatever league we're in if we play good, exciting football. I don't care if we're playing Barcelona or Barnett Green Athletic B Team, I'll come along if I'm entertained. We need to play good football, and people will come, whatever league.

No they won't, no-one will touch them because they are championship players who ar enot good enough to play in the prem, as demonstrated. Premiership players in a Championship team. I think that's been our problem.

What team do you expect to see walk out in August, realistically? Harper Beye Kadar Taylor Enrique Guthrie New CM Butt New LW Carroll New CF Wouldn't mind seeing Ranger, Krul and others being given a chance. We can blood these youngsters now against people who aren't playing Champions League football. Guthrie and Enrique might not still be here, unfortunately.

Kuszczak Neville Brown Ferdinand Fabio Nani Fletcher Gibson Tosic Macheda Welbeck

As expected. A piss take of a squad.

That's a joke.

Krul said he would leave if both Given and Harper stay. Krul has been on the bench consistently after weeks of tossing between Krul and Forster, so I imagine they've decided Krul is number 2. Leaving because he's number two keeper is nonsense, since he's unproven and won't walk into a number 1 jersey in another club in the PL or CH.

Watched them both. Krul, although Forster looks good too. Don't see Harper lasting all that long in No. 1 with these two behind him. Keep all three, for sure. When Harper leaves, let Forster and Krul battle it out, with Soderberg as 3rd keeper.

10 this season. 13 last season.

In University, in the college's Junior Common Room. 60" screen.

I'd love it to be Coloccini, by making some incredible last ditch tackles and then a winning header. I expect it to be Martins, if anyone.

Donaldson? Ahead of Lovenkrands too? Madness. Forgot about Lovelyhands. Woops.

Assuming no doubts make it, this what we need: Harper Edgar S Taylor Colocinni Duff (ugh) Guthrie Butt Jonas Owen Martins Viduka Subs: Krul, R Taylor, Nolan, Donaldson, Xisco, Ranger, Ameobi

Harper S Taylor Coloccini Edgar Enrique LuaLua Guthrie Butt Jonas Lovenkrands Viduka Subs: Krul, R Taylor, Nolan, Duff, Martins, Carroll, Ranger

If Enrique not fit: Harper Beye Taylor Coloccini Tozer Guthrie Butt Smith Martins Viduka Owen Subs: Krul, Edgar, Carroll, Ranger, Lovenkrands, Jonas, Duff ----- After watching today, I cannot condone Duff at LB any longer. He was so horrifically poor. We've nothing to lose, we have to go for it, so bring in Tozer who's actually a LB. Martins was creative today, but didn't get the ball enough, so involve him more on the left. Jonas was also poor and didn't really do anything for the team, so bench please. Nolan: see Jonas. Smith will at least add a bit of fight. Carroll on for Viduka at 55 if nothing's been achieved, Lovenkrands for Martins if/when he tires. Ranger for Owen.

Harper - 6 Beye - 6 Taylor - 8 Bassong - 5 (for red card) Duff - 2 (worst I've ever seen him) Jonas - 4 Butt - 6 Nolan - 4 Guthrie - 6 (Good set pieces again) Viduka - 5 (Poor, should have had a goal allowed) Martins - 6 (Better than most of the team, even when injured)

Anyone know why Rusedski was there? He was sitting a few rows behind me. Looked to me like he was with family, just enjoying the game.
