He's playing for Malaga now? I thought he was still at Ajax.... Shame because he is a very talented player.

Which of those clubs would offer £60-80,000 per week to a 22 year old? fair enough but just cant see him coming for less, he is still a bit hyped in the footballworld. Aye he is a bit overhyped but he's much better thn most of the shite at SJP.

Who on earth said that ? Craig Burley. Is he the co-commentator? He is such a fucking cunt! I hate him. Always makes games horrible to listen to and never stops slating Newcastle. Prick.

I just cant believe how everyones standards/expectations of games Vs mackems has dramatically dropped. And thats including myself.

Yes, how dare Stoke close them down.

Why? Because the Spuds will magically "click" at some point this season? They're in just as much trouble as Bolton at least, tbh. Spurs have got better players and they will go on a run and get away from the bottom. They aren't going to get relegated while Bolton quite possibly could, although today's result will give them a massive lift. I can't see Spurs going down like, nice things like that just never happen, but when you look at their remaining fixtures it makes you wonder. 3 of their next 4 are against Arsenal, Villa and Chelsea and they have a very tough run in with Man U, Everton and Liverpool in their last 5. (thats not breaking any fixture rules surely is it?) Interesting post, mate. I reckon Spurs might sneak a couple of surprises along the way but no team is too good to go down, and, at the moment, they really are not very good. But we still have to play them away- which is like our only source of guarenteed points.

Not everyone agrees but I think tomorrow will decide our season.

The reality is slowly starting to sink into me as to just how bad trouble we actually are in. Seperated from Championship places by 1 goal or so. Really scary.....and just makes me a whole lot more nervous about tomorrow. We just cannot afford to lose. It will feel like the end of the world if we do.

Would've been nice to see Villa extend their lead over Arsenal. I guess until they start winning 'those' types of games against Wigan at home etc. they wont win or challenge for the title.

If we go down I demand we take Spurs and sunderland with us!

Good stuff. Who scored for Bolton?

Pompey will stay up now...

McShane's also injured. might end up throwing a kid in at the deep end in Michael Kay........might prove nice for us Wonder how the bouncers stewards are going to manage tomorrow. I can see there being massive problems tbh Between the SS and the away end?

2 goals in 1 minute from Darren Bent! :arry:

McShane's also injured.

Oh dear god.... edit- No Butt?

Aye that is very good. I didnt know they're in that bad financial trouble. 5 months away from being repossessed? Christ... I mean, I hate Liverpool quite a lot but I can honestly say it would be kind of sad to see a club like them fall so badly...

So would I, but Veloso would still be a massive improvement on our squad. I cant see us buying him though...

Kamara on SSN said they had been the better side, then they conceded. The goal might knock the stuffing out of them. Here's hoping. Aye. But I'd expect them to pull away from the bottom easier than us... Get the fuck in!

Money from the Given sale used to pay the next installment to Deportivo? That is if that rumour is true. ah right. seems pretty ridiculous that we cant play the lad till the window passes. really pointless paying £6m for him in the first place. its probably Kinnear not liking the guy. Id like to see him get a proper chance. Could have some much needed goals in him. If Martins aint fit for tomorrow. Xisco could be really useful The rumour was that we have paid so much to Deportivo up front, with the rest coming after he makes 10 appearances (apparently £2.5m). With the club as skint as it is, we might have to sell a player to fund the next installment, which would maybe explain why he hasn't got a look in but wouldn't explain why we would agree to that especially if we have no money to pay for it. Imagine if he had set the world alight and then come 9 appearances, sorry Xisco lad you're being benched. So confusing.. Ye it is. His scoring record in Spain wasnt what you'd call exceptional but he was supposed to be canny. He's more than worth a go for us at the moment, though. He played well against Hull I though yet was dropped the following game! Such unprofessionalism at this club.

how are we a selling club? the only players who leave are ones who are very unhappy or crap. i cant think of anybody who we have sold purely for the profit. Given for one. The club seem more than happy to let him go (even though he wants to, I know). Plus every player is available for sale if rumors are to be true. he's handed in a transfer request. we arent forcing him out at all. and that last bit is a load of media s*** stirring. zero proof anywhere that that is the case. We've also been trying to offload players like Barton and Enrique. Good players. I'm not sure if its just me, but I've got the drift from Ashley that if the offer suits him, he'll sell. Even sunderland arent selling their best player(s)! They kept Kenwyne Jones when they couldve easily sold him.

Looks like Portsmouth could be joining us in fighting for their lifes come May. They really are in trouble....

Just because we've signed Kevin Nolan doesnt mean we're safe from the drop, ffs. We've still got a hell of a lot of work to do to survive.....make no doubt about it. 2 or 3 signings will help a lot, though. Although how hard morale will be hit when Given leaves is something I'm not looking forward to...

But why on earth would a club buy a player KNOWING that they have to pay money for him? Why? I just cant see the logic in buying a player and not playing him because you're gonna have to pay an installment for him. Its just barmy! I think its got to be Kinnear just not liking the lad. He hasnt done too much wrong and hes already got a goal for us. Maybe Ashley's telling him not to play him.....or pretend that he doesnt exist?
