dear god the man really doesn't have any humility does he. i can just see it now sam allerdyce playing route 1 defensive football as barcelona manager

since when is colo a rb or nolan a right winger

what a strike in the atletico match madrid 1 down

It is I believe, could be on Five or ESPN. correct espn

its not so much as he being good as (for me anyway) unable to think of a decent alternative to him at rb

Schmeichel Neville Campbell Carvalho Irwin Ronaldo Keane Scholes Giggs Shearer Henry

was impressed by rangers tonight

my only choice is man u rangers match, i dont like either side

oh i do hope that gets pinned on the training ground and in the dressing room for the match

It's not like Nolan is standing there while the rest of the team plays this high energy attacking football around him. We simply don't have the squad to play like that, and one new player will not magically turn the rest of them into a team that can play like that. We have to live with that fact for this season at least, and Hughton has to try and put together a team that works effectively week in week out with what he has. Nolan is playing as a forward. His job is to get into positions to get chances, to score goals and set up others. He did it all last season and he's been doing it this season. As long as he keeps doing that, and as long as he keeps putting some of them away, then he's doing his job. If there's someone in the squad who can do that better than Nolan then fine - Shola? Lovenkrands? Ranger? - but I'm not sure why everyone is so keen to shoe-horn Ben Arfa into that position when he's been a midfielder most of his career. You say "we looked far more threatening after his introduction". Well he replaced Gutierrez, not Nolan. Perhaps that's why we looked better. best post in the thread imo

ugh 15 points, malouda and rooney not playing really hurt me, just hope ethrington plays tonight otherwise gary cahill is into my side with his minus points

Harper Perch Colo Williamson Enrique Routiledge Tiote Barton Ben Arfa Nolan Carroll fancy a draw for some reason in this

having slept and calmed down a bit and seeing the highlights we were a bit unlucky, williamsons shot if it had a bit more luck might have gone in their keeper pulled some good saves from barton nolan and carroll and in particular if the barton one had gone in we might have gone on to win it, bad day at the office but the important thing is to respond well and put in a good performance vs everton

wigan equalise

we need shola power............

bolton equalise elmander

wba equalise vs spurs brunt
