Butt in a couple of years? He'll be a fossil.

And Butt always played well last season when he'd had a bit of time off. He's certainly had that before this. I would mind starting Butt every third game or so.

Ridiculous. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Harper - 6 R.Taylor - 7 Enrique - 8 Coloccini - 7 S.Taylor - 8 Barton - 7 Jonas - 7 Smith - 6 Nolan - 8 Ameobi - 9 Carroll - 6 Geremi - 6 Lua Lua - 5 Xisco - 6

You gave everyone bar Ameobi a 6 or a 7.. riiiiight.

Nicky Butt has begun to fossilise. Shola Ameobi -> Chris Hughton: The money has been transferred to your account, as per usual. Dean Windass feels sensual.

You're really basing that on his goal last week aren't you? You muse be...because whatever bloody goal has he scored Alright - who in the current squad has a better finish?

Out of the current squad, there's no one I'd trust to place the ball in the back of the net when through one-on-one more than Damien Duff. Sell Geremi - he's probably on the same wages. Sell Butt - ditto. There's worse players than Duff on those kind of wages. We need players like Duff if we're to have ANY HOPE of being promoted again.

Hasn't he just admitted drink driving in his defence?

That's absolutely disgusting.

I'd bite their hands off for Dos Santos.

Raylor was good when he was in the right position. Which unfortunately wasn't often enough.

Owen only ever scored when Geremi was playing.

And third penalty of the pre-season alone.

Krul R Taylor S Taylor Coloccini Enrique Duff Barton Guthrie Jonas Carroll Ameobi Cut the crap and let's start playing a team together that will stay and play in the Championship. If we sent that team out against WBA I'd be startled that we kept as many as we have.

One of my heros, and of the best men in British sporting history. You will be missed immeasurably, Sir Bobby.

Means they can make a big deal out of this and thus sweep Gerrard under the carpet.

There's more chance Osama Bin Laden will be there than Ashley. Come to think of it I reckon I'd even take him as an owner now over Ashley. He's got more money.

Shola's goals were Kaka-esque. What's going on...

Look, seriously, why do people continue with this utter crap?
