He's rarely been used correctly for me. You could see when partnered with Butt and given the job of going foward how good a footballer he could be. The irony of it all is that with SA's prefered 4-3-3 formation and the likes of Barton, Geremi, Faye & Butt alongside he may well have prospered and become a very important part of the midfield. It appears Sam doesn't really fancy him (early days yet I know) which I find a shame as I don't think we have anyone else who is as potentially creative as Emre. I am fully aware though that there has so far been too much potential and not enough delivery!

I don't think that's at all fair tbh Craig. Do you seriously believe Taylor should just say yes thank you to anything (and yes I know it's hardly minimum wage) just because he's playing for the club he supports? Taylor still has a lot to learn to be the real top class player many seem to think he already is, but he's been one of the few bright spots over the last couple of years being easily our best defender. He's captain of the U21's and had a call up to the England full squad. Just because at the moment Milner and N'Zogbia don't have any competition in front of them for a place does that mean they should be automatically worth a considerably better contract than the lad? Even if Roz and Cacapa are currently our best pairing they still have a long way to go before they are nailled on and Taylor remains very much part of the first team picture. While I'm not too keen on this going to the press I do beleive he has at least earned parity with the other two youngsters. Especially when you consider N'Zogbia's performances and attitude last year!

While I agree you can't compare the two at the moment, Carragher looked nothing more than a very average premiership player up until a couple of years ago. I would say Taylor looks a better player now than Carragher did at the same age.

New Pornographers - Myriad Harbour Never really got into them before but Challengers is one of my favourite albums this year.

That's quite a range! When you can get Kurosawa's back catalogue at £2 a pop or Miike's for £3, the 'add to basket' button does take a pounding. I think I'd probably still find it difficult to think of 40 Asian films I've heard of but I can see that site taking a hammering from me in the near future! http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...amp;hl=oriental Abraham Lincoln DW Griffith continued his rehabilatation with a glowing tribute to the man that freed the slaves. The only talkie of his I've seen, the clipped sound makes a lot of the editing appear sloppy, but I think muting out those sharp edges would mean you wouldn't notice. Apparently, this 1930 film was the last film made to cover Lincolns entire life. 80 years without another attempt must make this pretty definative. There's quite possibly not even 40 (can't be arsed to add them all up) named in that thread though tbf. And I've already got or seen a few of them anyway. I'm still struggling to see the genius in Kurasowa if I'm honest. Seven Samurai was a let down and I haven't been able to sit through all of Ran yet. I enjoyed Rashomon but I've seen a lot of better films Aisan or otherwise. Oldboy, In The Mood For Love and Tokyo Story are still my favourites with Lady Vengence, Battle Royale and Infernal Affairs after that. Actually I might get a few of them. There's over 70 in the original post tbf. It took you a while to count them. I made that last post ages ago

Every sperm is sacred. So are you saying I'll burn in hell along side Mrs McCann for just wasting a few hundred thousand of the things? Jimbo must the biggest mass murder of all time!

She'll be getting something violently shoved up her arse when she heads down south if she is guilty of this.

Is this in really bad taste even for SMO? I wouldn't if she's guilty but she's a reasonably good looking bint.

If it true that he's on less than £10k a week and they aren't offering him much of a rise I can understand his frustrations tbf. From what I undertand Carroll is on £6k and he's a player who's barely figured in the first team squad let alone starting eleven. Taylor has been our best defender by some way of the last two seasons which has led to him being called up the national squad (even if that was premature). I'm not advocating stupid money for him but if you consider that Faye appears to be a squad buy and if he's on £30k I would be expecting Taylor to be offered something better than a third of that. Whilst I personally think the central pairing that played in the last game is currently our best I do believe Taylor is the future for us and I would be very upset if we were to lose him, especially if it were down to us only offering him cut price contract. And yes before anyone says it the amounts of money he's getting paid already is obscene but that's football I'm afraid.

I think we played some pretty decent stuff against Wigan on Saturday and I would be pretty happy if we could keep up that standard (admittedly Wigan were crap so we would probably have to up it against better teams). But we still have Barton, Emre and Duff to come back into the squad all of whom are more forward thinking players who I would expect to help us improve our football (if Sam get more out of Duff than Rodders could). Bringing two propper fullbacks in will improve us as well as we should have two defenders who can link up with the players in front of them and it will allow N'Zogbia to move into a more attacking position. Finally as time goes on the players will become more acostomed to what Allardyce is asking of them and will be able to better put it into practice on the pitch, and if we keep winning the increased confidence that comes with that will allow players to express themselves more. I don't expect to see us playing the football that we did under Keegan or Robson this season but I do think we can expect to see a lot better than the shite we've had to put up with for the last four years.

Done it before and it doesn't bother me in the slightest tbh. A bloke no matter what his persuasion isn't going to have much use for a tampon so no one's going to think anything else thank I'm buying them for a lass. I think it bothers the missus more than it does me really.

It's very early days yet for Roz and Cacapa but you an only say that the pair of them are looking very impressive and more accomplished than Taylor is at this stage of his career. In the short term it certainly appears that what's best for the club is to play those two. Like others though I worry that Taylor will, after becoming accostomed to first team football and tbf to the lad being one of our better players over the last two seasons, throw the toys out of the pram. It would be a shame to lose Taylor who I do belive has a very bright future and could be the mainstay of our defence for the next ten years if he fulfills his potential. It could be a much bigger test of Allardyce's man management than any issue with Harper and Given. That said, at least one of the four centrebacks is bound to pick up an injury shortly so it may not be that difficult a decision!

It would seem odd if they have questionned the mother for 11 hours just on that. Being a parent it's difficult to beleieve anyone could do anything to harm their children but unfortunately there are probably thousands of examples where this has been the case.

I'm quite liking that. Radiohead - Idioteque

Going to be today apparently.

Just goes to show that stats can talk complete bollocks. Spurs defence has been fucking awfull so far this season and Gardener playing so much has been a big part of that.

How do we know she was reported straight away. The timeline is based on the word of the parents Cos they were seen at the restaurant that night? I dont believe they staged the whole restaraunt thing after they had killed their own child and disposed of the body. And i think we are doing a disservice to a family that have gone through hell the last few months by actually accusing them of murdering their own daughter Yeah, I agree. You would have to be some sort of cold-blooded fucker to accidentally kill your child, and instead of raising the alarm and getting an ambulance or whatever, look at one another and go "Ok, what we gonna do with the body?". The chances of two doctors accidentally drugging their child are remote enough; the chances of two loving parents then disposing of their child's body even more remote. You get the impression people almost want them to be guilty of this. Concurred with both of you, everyone loves a conspiracy theory, but this one is complete bollocks. Anyway, Joanne Lees did it. It's not really a conspiracy theory if the police are actually treating her/them as a suspect. They would have to have more reason to do this than just not liking the look of them.

I have to say that while I hope they had nowt to do with her going missing (other than being stupid fucks who left their bairns alone in an appartment in a foreign country while went off enjoying themselves) and she's alive and unhurt somewhere, the whole situation just seems odd to me and I wouldn't be surprised if they did do something. Maybe I am being prejudiced my feelings about them leaving her alone but it just seems to be another one of those cases when the criminals are appearing to be helping the police only for the truth to come out later. As I say I will be very happy if I am proved wrong though.

That's quite a range! When you can get Kurosawa's back catalogue at £2 a pop or Miike's for £3, the 'add to basket' button does take a pounding.

It's no surprise this happing in a game that Bennett refereed. The guy is a clown of the highest order and without doubt the worst referee in the premier league.

That's quite a range!
