Hanna is the worst film I've seen in a long time, and i've seen a lot of films. It's now my new "at least its not as bas as" film. Psychedelic 80's music and lots of pointless running and jumping without any story development.

I never leave feedback as you never know what might happen down the line.

I thought Chelsea moaned an awful lot at the ref and they are top!

Anyone else surprised to see where we are. http://www.premierleague.com/page/FairPlayTable Mr Tiote.

Based on what? Ive yet to see a game where he shines and its obviously not showing in training when he cant even get in ahead of Lovenkrands. vs Liverpool at home. his pace and determination has made him a very good sub, imo, try to remember he's just turned 20.

Missed two sitters inside the six yard box.

He said there was nothing in the Liverpool rumor; http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6933546,00.html

The mortgage was only 50m and finance can be refinanced. Are you saying the stadium extension was a bad idea? LeazesMag has only said Ashley lacks ambition, where as the old regime did not. imo, this summer will the first test of that statement as Ashley doesn't have to cover spending.

Maybes i'm looking at this wrongly, but I would of thought that the young players you want to keep in the reserves, get them games and see how they develop before thrusting them into the limelight of a full squad which could very well hamper their development.... Saying that, I'm no authority on it so Why not do both? I can see why Kuqi was signed (i.e. if we're really desperate) but what's the point in having him on the bench? As he isn't going to make an impact. Especially when you've already got Ranger on the bench, as has frequently been the case. It's not like there are loads of reserve games or they clash with 1st team games either. Pardew said he want more than one type of attacking option on the bench. Kuqi offers a strong physical presence something we didn't have and you wont get from a teenager.

I'd have brought Jim back as he made a mistake and more importantly he outed that guy as being work shy. Best to bring in someone who'll back up that argument than someone who'll blame you.

Depends what you call buying cheap. Buying you cheap can get you Perch or Tiote. I appreciate the point you’re making but ultimately if you buy cheap you end up with an inferior squad. Collocini £10m / Williamson £1m Jose £4m / Routledge £1m Barton £5.5m / Guthrie £1.5m Ben Arfa £5m / Lovenkrands £0 Enrique £6.5m / Perch £1m At this point I was going to compare strikers but the most expensive striker we’ve bought since Ashley has been at the club is Best, who cost £1m. In fact I’m struggling to think of another striker we’ve bought since he’s been in charge. I stand to be corrected but Best is the only striker we’ve paid a fee for in four years!? Xisco £6m / Best £1m Smith £6m / Tiote £3.5m It isn't about cutting corners, but getting value for money. If you look at all of them players, we'd get our money back on almost all of them. Take Routledge for example, picked up on the cheap to do a job and has now been moved on. I would say its more of a case of buying first team regulars, which is what most of the players on the left are.

Can you give an example of using hinesight to manage?

They had to pay 25m in compo to Sheff Utd

Completely agree, Carroll is blameless almost in this, I've had this row with loads of people, I mean fucking hell the helicopter engine was already running, there's no way the club did enough to keep him, they wanted the money and any idiot should be able to see through Pardew's propaganda every time the subject is breached. I hope Dalglish gets more abuse than Michael Owen though. Then why did he hand in a transfer request? As Chez has explained he was put in an impossible position. He went to great lengths to tell the Chronicle and Steve Wraith that his hand was being forced, coupled with the fact he's a young hugely impressionable lad, arguably with a low IQ, his agents in his ear, the club aren't playing ball, they have a helicopter waiting for him, I wouldn't feel wanted neither. The club had the transfer request written ready for him to sign, I firmly believe that. The contradictions in story during the day even from David Craig being fed bollocks should've shown you what was going on, and regardless what you believe this quote by the idiot that is Llambias 6 weeks after the transfer deadline was closed and Carroll was gone should tell you everything.... An admittance that the objective throughout the month was to sell him. Not wanted, helicopter waiting, thick, agent in his lug, upset, no room to negotiate, and I believe genuinely wanted to stay, but was forced in to a corner where there was only one solution. None of what you said explains why he handed in a transfer request. Something that is very important as it waivers his loyalty bonus - usually around 10% of his salary for the entire length of his contract.

exactly, but we should have been able to keep him here. C'mon, 35 million, even your beau said it was the right thing to do!

Snodgrass would be a welcome addition; http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6901982,00.html

I would give the board a C minus for not using the Carroll deal to get something out of Chelsea - Sturridge, van aanholt or any of there youth team. They missed the boat and it's not the first time.

Just seen Nero run a 15 day trial. http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nero10-trial.php

Where does sacking Hughton fit into your party?

If your PC supports it you might be able to just drag the files onto the DVD drive in my computer and use windows builtin burner. If not give DVD flick a try. http://www.dvdflick.net/download.php

There's a difference between saying where you think the squad needs work and where you think actual work will be done We already have the poorest set of strikers in the premiership, and if Tiotte and Barton go we will have the poorest midfield too. Not good. Barton has already said he's staying regardless. I think you are confusing leaving with letting his contract run down.

yeah a proper tantrum

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-spo...utledge-deal.do "agreed a pay-off in exchange for terminating his deal." Does that just mean we sold him without using an agent?
