Not directing this specifically at you, but more at the mentality from the past few years. Two years ago, it wasn't important as the priority was to stay up. Last year it wasn't important as the priority was promotion. This season it isn't important because the priority is survival. So when does it become priority? It's a brilliant cup competition and I want to win it - Portsmouth showed a few seasons ago that you don't have to be the best team to win the competition - and before anyone mentions it, winning the FA Cup doesn't = relegation. Like I mentioned earlier, come the 5th round we could be quite easily sat safe with 40 points. We should go for it IMO. Not compromise the league campaign, but not treat it like a run-out for the reserves either. Nobody is saying this though, most people are hoping for a side with a strong spine but also to have our most prized assets rested ahead of arguably the biggest game of the season. We should be able to win the game without playing our absolute best team.

We all want to win the game man. However this is Stevenage, from League Two. We've had a busy Christmas period, injuries are already building up and there is the small matter of a local derby coming up next weekend. We should be resting all players that we simply cannot afford to lose, not just to wrap them in cotton wool but also to give them a rest.

Won't be impressed if we're playing all of our key players tomorrow like.

Everybody make sure to use modals for everything that is not 100% guaranteed and factual. There is a serious risk that Dresden might actually drown in his own tears if you do not.

Nearly as awful as your last post. Urgh. Should make sure that every post delivers its content in the most serious manner possible...? yawn. No, you could make them funny or serious...just not shit and pointless. What was the point you were making, though, that the players might not actually sign for Sunderland? What a fucking oustanding revelation. If people were jumped on every time speculation and conjecture were discussed then it would be a pretty boring place.

Arsenal Vs Leeds, this, then watch Barca maul some poor fuckers. Looking forward to tomorrow's football.

Nearly as awful as your last post.

"I was always attracted most to joining City." That contradiction should go down well with City fans. It's almost embarrassing how avaricious all of their players are. How are the fans supposed to identify with the current squad?

Agreed, would be better sending him for some r&r in Dubai with AC or a few days back in Spain. Simply irreplacable player, when we have no backup LB. I'd be tempted to keep Barton away from this one aswell. Carroll, Barton and José when fit are what I would call our absolutely vital players.

Would be quite happy to see Muntari play next week, maybe even Sessegnon although i have to say i've never seen him play. Can't see Muntari's match fitness being that good, i might be wrong but don't think he's been playing every week for Inter and they don't have reserve teams in Italy(or didn't used to) and a highly charged derby game played at 100mph isn't really a game to be thrown into if your not fully fit. Crying with laughter at this post. Reckon we start Keane, Bentley and Larsson against them. Actually fuck it, we'll take Sessegnon as we were linked with him first. Anyone see a flaw in my plan? ANYONE? Are you really, though?

There's no real continuity though using loans. Wellbeck and Onouha have done well but they're back to square one once they go back to their parent clubs. They did the same with Jonny Evans. He did really well, but they just buttered him up for Man U. Now with Welbeck the likelyhood is they're just turning him into a good player and once again see him go back leaving them looking for an expensive replacement. Onuoha they may end up with permanently, but his performances may only result in City asking for even more money than in the first place.

He shouldn't be anywhere near this game IMO.

They've balanced the books quite a bit aswell to be fair. Managing to get £8 million for Jones and robbing £3 million off Leicester for Waghorn. This means they actually made a profit in the latest transfer window, what is also worth noting however is that the use of the loan market will backfire on them. They will need to either replace or buy these players in the longterm.

Benny. The useless shitcunt.

I'd be more than happy to see Muntari make his debut vs us. The man is a headless chicken.

Miller rejects Birmingham

Surely better off going for Adam if thats the type of player Pardew is looking for. Whelan and Adam are nothing alike. They're both ball central playing midfielders who can strike a football well but have limited physical attributes. They're very similar, except Charlie Adam is twice as good. ? Whelan is a tenacious centre midfielder in the Joey Barton mould. Him having "limited physical attributes" is pretty innacurate. Whelan is a midfield playmaker, just not a very good one. He's not that quick and not that strong, hence the limited physical attributes. Barton is hardly quick and strong is he? Him and Charlie Adam are not a million miles away in playing style, hardly 'nothing alike'.

Based on what? A made up article without a single quote??????????? :dowie: :dowie: :dowie: You a bit simple or something mate?

I'm interested. Why do they always say "Love owt like this me" and what the fuck is a "happy clappie" ?

Yes to Sessegnon, no to Muntari.

Just thinking, if the Mackems did sign Sessegnon and Shitari, they'd potentially have half their squad away at the ACN at some point. Not to mention the fact Onuoha has been touted for a Nigeria cap.

Chelsea should go for him. If Arsenal weren't so well filled in the wide positions i'd say Arsenal should go for him. If City were to sell him, they'd do what they're doing with Given and only allow sale to 'lower' level clubs.

Worst post ever made.
