I would let Smith, Sol, Lovenkrands and Perch go in the summer, maybe Best or Shola as well if sign a striker

Yep, totally agree with this. Bassong had a bid that was accepted, so he left. And he left to a club with a much brighter future than ours (then, and now), so the booing just seemed like bitterness from our fans, imo. Bitter that a good player left us for a club like Spurs who we had gotten so used to dominating, and bitter because we as a club looked like we were going nowhere. Given doesn't deserve to be booed. He gave so many good years to the club and left when Ashley was destroying the club from the inside, so it's not his fault that we were s*** at the time. He never gave away a soft goal, he never looked like he didn't care and he was always one of the best players in our team so to boo him because of his actions over two weeks at the end of his stay with us is just insane, imo. Yeah, let's forget about the 10 years, the CL run, the near-miss in the UEFA cup, the super saves, the FA Cup finals etc., and let's just think about his last two weeks here. Seems petty as f***. When Given retires, he'll be remembered as one of the best gks in the premiership of his generation, and he'll always - and rightly, in my opinion - be associated with us. :clap: I agree with this post - given is a legend in my eyes and I would give him a standing ovation if he ever plays against us again

Has done well so far - barring the FA Cup match we won the games we were expected to and could easily have gotten something against Citeh and more against the Mackems and Spurs Though he still talks some shite - his comment after the game that "we had a lot of squad players in the team today", did we?? I think not

Guthrie certainly isnt as bad as the last dozen pages or so have suggested He did have a horrible game against wba BUT overall he has been a good player for us - he does need to work on his fitness though BUT he certainly is good enough as a squad player for us

Had a good game today - he does need to sort his fitness out though, tires easily and seems to be carrying a few too many pounds

Aye the Uni was not an issue BUT when you ventured beyond that, it was horrid - especially for someone with a brown face, horrible place

I spent a year at Uni there - the Uni was alreet BUT the rest of the place was an absolute shit hole

Gutted with conceding a goal so late BUT I would have taken a point before the match so not totally gutted Their reaction does not surprise me - horrible club and a horrible place that will forever remain in our shadow

Not as confident without Tiote - he really makes our team tick, Alan Smith is going to be shite

Bollocks :facepalm:

S.Taylor, williamson and ranger

Bentley doesnt really beat his man either

I hope we can get Larsson - it is a decent price and he is still young. Would prefer to get him instead of Bentley

I agree - he was shocking against West Brom BUT overall he has been a good player for us and I think he is a more than useful squad player

It seems inevitable that he will leave at some point BUT I would fucking hate it if he went to Spurs - cant stand them and that mong Harry

Great result - performance was decent as well BUT we didnt really need to try that much since they were shit Delighted for Best, certainly was not expecting that from him - took all of his goals well and his general play was canny

I didnt think Simpson was up to it at this level, thought he would be awful BUT he has played quite well overall - seems solid enough without being spectacular. I wish he would stop backing off though, doing it for a few yards is one thing BUT he does it for a good 15-20 yards and before you know it their player is in our box

I dont recall Wilshere getting any stick for his theatrics against Wigan Lee Dixon is a cunt

It would be typical of us to lose this after winning away BUT we should be beating West Ham

He played well - wasnt really tested as Wigan didnt offer a great deal going forward BUT a tidy enough performance from him

Was largely anonymous - not good enough really to play in the middle BUT we have no other option really

Another great performance from him - he was immense today Wasnt keen on the clutching face theatrics at the end BUT I guess it wasted some important seconds

2-0 to them

Tiote has overall been brilliant - has made some mistakes, though I think it is safe to say in that time Smith would have made much more We really need a more attack minded CM to partner him as the current lot in the squad are just not good enough

I thought he played well, his crossing was better than usual though he needs to put more pace into his crosses, he tends to float them in at the moment which makes it harder for Carroll
