  1. kevin davies scores a penalty 2-0 up against wigan, elmander got the other one meanwhile wolves 2 up at burnley
  2. Heh? To this point, I mean. It is already important due to geopgraphical considerations, but the Forest result means that a win here would really put us in prime spot for automatic promotion. the most important match is forest at home
  3. hall was brought in for this very reason, hopefully will do ok
  4. i miss using the phrase to my dad when we lost could be worse could be man city (hes a long time city sufferer) i really miss using that. and europe even if we always knew we were going to get knocked out the 1st decent side we meet
  5. The wage bill was of his own making. Correct me if I've missed someone, but I think there was only 1 high earning player who would have still been under contract this season (Duff) who was not signed or given a new contract under Ashley. We sold 2, maybe 3 high earners in the Summer (Duff, Martins & maybe Beye although I doubt he was on that much). Are you saying that out of Duff, Martins, Beye, Coloccini, Gutierrez, Smith, Nolan, Barton, Geremi & Butt we would not have been able to sell 3 of them while in the Premiership, but thanks to getting relegated (and losing £40m+ revenue) we were luckily able to get 3 of the best of them off the books (saving £7-8m at most if you ignore the cost of paying their replacements). Great bit of business that was. If hanging on to the rest of the high earners was due to the desire to have a very competitive team in the Championship rather than the fact no one was willing to pay their wages or give us a decent fee can you explain why for example we held on to the high earning, older, under performing Coloccini (who we had loads of offers for apparently ) yet sold the low wage, younger and better performing Bassong? I'm also interested in who exactly you think was making these footballing decisions? Unless he's the best liar I've seen, it certainly wasn't Hughton who repeatedly said he didn't have a clue what was going on in the Summer. Until January, nothing that has happened this season has been by the good judgement of Ashley, it has just worked out like that fortunately for both us and him. Will the new "plan" (whatever that may be) be better than the plan when he bought the club, or the revised plan when he brought in Keegan and a DoF, or the make it up as you go along plan trying to sell the club with Kinnear, or the "back on track" plan of a year ago when the club was off the market and he was definitely not selling, or the pre relegation get in a hero and sack the DoF plan, or the post relegation sell a club in limbo plan of the Summer? As we don't know what it really is who could possibly say, but do you really have any confidence he'd stick to it even if it was? low wage and better performing bassong may have been but he also had a much worse attitude at the end (including not travelling to a friendly if i remember right), given what was said by various players at this stage after the leyton orient defeat in preseason they had there own meeting where those who didnt want to be there were told to get lost essentially and it was only after that players were sold, no doubt bassong wanted out he was looking for a way out even before we got relegated
  6. then again the author is working off lucas as a comparison, any former liverpool midfielder who occasionally gets into the opponents box is going to look good next to him
  7. i heard durham say liverpool are everyones second team, where the fuck did he get that idea? go lille
  8. Joe Kinnear? No. He actually picked up points from time to time. Honestly, never seen a side so devoid of a single clue of what to do in a pitch like Sammy Lee's Bolton. Makes me itch on the tought of Rafa getting fired and him becoming caretaker. he has a point, kinnear did manage a lot of draws
  9. What actually is their problem with the Glazers? Poor lambs, only win about 1 trophy on average a season. the whole 700m debt thing, only took them 4 or 5 years to figure out
  10. god i love irish coverage of champions league, 10 minutes on beckham and his bad points
  11. Would be retarded to get rid of him before the end of the season like you say. Too many cooks for Real tonight imo real are kinda like us they dont have any common sense ever
  12. Its only been days since Llambias told everyone we wont be making big money transfers and people offer £15m Darren Bent from our biggest rivals as a realistic transfer? its march allow a few insane ideas. myself id go for doyle when wolves go down (which they will) Doyle would be realistic, the clues in the title of the thread to be honest realistic isnt fun, ronaldo and messi to newcastle in shock statement of intent from mike ashley
  13. you know hes going to get a toe injury before seasons end, its inevitable Metatarsal. yeah broken toe to me
  14. you know hes going to get a toe injury before seasons end, its inevitable
  15. that that tie over and done with
  16. flamini starts he has some legs on him hes what 24? Yeah, I was exaggerating - it's just without Pato they don't have anybody that can run at them. I really can't see them putting up a challenge tonight. best hope is ronaldhinio getting joy out of neville, which he probably will
