Jayson

Find it laughable when people claim England fans expect success purely because we invented the sport. Nothing to do with having some of the best players in some of the best teams on the planet then.

Hes probably our best central defender.

It is a little bit exciting properly in the spirit for it now

I expect a draw. But ill be amused if we win quite easily.

Heskey cocks it up as usual

Joe cole knocks it in on the break away

WHAT A GOAL

His save against Ramsay was absolute class

Except that as far as i can tell he only played 8 games upfront against top 10 teams. Which makes that stat look pretty impressive instead. Top 10? I said the top half, man. Use your calculator next time. And he played more than that anyway. Not relevant what you said. The point you're attempting to make is that he didnt perform against the better sides in the division obviously. Yet out of the top 5 teams he only played 3 times upfront against any of them & scored 3 goals according to the link you gave earlier. He never played against leicester & two of the games he played against both cardiff & notts forest he was used as a winger. Theres nothing to base him not performing against the better teams on atall if played in the right position.

It wasn't a reason? Poor management alone wouldn't get Chelsea relegated would it? Didnt say it was necessarily down to poor management either, though i doubt Kinnear helped much. Still the players didnt play at their full potential obviously. That team was more than good enough to stay up. We're not Chelsea either, im sure Birmingham could have had a very different season than the one they had if they had massive outside issues going on.

The quality of our squad was not the reason we got relegated though. Our current squad may be good enough to stay up without any addition atall, no one knows yet really.

I reckon that Loven hasnt been played upfront consistantly in a decent team while injury free for a number of years. Seems like the last time he was, he was scoring a decent amount in the champions league for Rangers. Time has moved on, but think he could suprise most of us still.

Factually theres nothing to support the claim that Colo is a PL defender. Doesnt mean much, its all opinion.

If he doesnt get a sniff it'll be due to lack of service. His movement alone will see him get goals, hes a decent finisher.

Loven is prem standard.

:thdn: v lucky

Reckon the only thing that would stop the current lot staying up would be injuries myself. They have the potential to do decently in the prem easily. Just as the last lot did.

Where did i say no one should be blamed then. I said it wasnt player ability that took us down, they were more than good enough to stay up.
