Monroe Transfer

You're such a ray of light. Seriously? I'll put a winking smilie next to such a post next time, even when it's obviously just a bit of banter like the above.

Are you a racist or not?

wah no jetpacks wah

Should have been banned for willingly listening to Chris Moyles.

Bit of advice: Read my posts and stick them on your website. Job done.

Abeid it is then.

First time I heard of Cabaye was about 2-3 years ago when he was first linked with Arsenal. By all accounts he was definitely on their radar.

Steven Taylor.

This plus Vuckic, Ferguson, Sammy Ameobi and Kadar at least on the bench.

Shut up will you, you're upsetting Deaders.

Fucks sake, wish I didn't live on the other end of the country.

I really hope that Elliot is better than he's appeared to be in the 2 or 3 games he's played.

Strange that, I must say. None of our other keepers is ready to step in if, god forbid, something would happen to Krul. 2 posts on here about it. 3 pages on RTG http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=638844

@Semi Good post. They'll come a time when Marveaux, Ben Arfa and also Gosling get a lot more minutes on the pitch. All have had serious injuries and I'm sure it's best to involve them more gradually. If anyone disagrees with that then fine, but I'm kind of inclined to believe the medical staff know what they're on about and are advising the first team staff how best to deal with each player.

Best's golden patch started well into last season then. It's not "a golden patch", it's inconsistency and to be honest I just think some people are too harsh on him. Yourself included. Ben Arfa would be better if we're playing 4-4-1-1. Pardew seems to prefer good ol' 4-4-2.

Cup game during the week, I Imagine it'll prompt a few changes by the time we get to Stoke. Stoke away is totally different to the likes of Wigan/Spurs at home. Tactically he'll need to adjust things for sure. It's very pleasing that we've done so well so far and have some real quality in reserve (some of whom of course you'd have assumed would always start); Santon, Ben Arfa, Marveaux, Vuckic, Sammyobi, Ferguson, Abeid etc. Obviously we're still too short in a couple of areas and it'll be telling how we cope when we're forced to make changes.

Just the other day you were calling me a "miserable cunt".

How many yellows are Chelsea on now?

Think the fear is we ARE playing at our best. Convincing as it has made our position in the table its never looked too convincing on the field...at least from the first 11. Will be interesting to see how much better we look when (if?) Santon, Ben Arfa and Marveaux get more game-time.

Come on Blackburn :/ Says a lot that I'm finding myself wanting to widen the gap between us and these smaller clubs like Liverpool and Spurs who are below us.

I see Dalglish is whining about referees again. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15419170.stm

I think we'll look better off the ball if the likes of Ben Arfa and Marveaux get more game-time. I don't think off the ball movement is one of Gutierrez and Obertan's strengths. Same with Best, gets offside too often. Not sure about Ba. From my limited viewpoint, off the ball movement is not a problem for the defence.

Bit harsh on Best iyam, but you were there and I wasn't.
