Deano

I think he can do a job, he's not as bad as some make out but he doesnt seem to have the nerve for big games. Hopefully if he starts he can justify being ahead of Ferguson.

Good day for it! Id like us to line up like that....i think its quite likely too. Pace on both flanks to counter their pace out wide too. See if Barton can pull the strings through the middle. Probably will be...Jonas---Guthrie---Barton---Raylor however.

Classic stevie I hate them and i think the players will want to do them on their own patch. Contribute to their possible relegation. I think we will win 2-1.

Didnt AP confirm Enrique will start?

I hate it at 1st but im startin to like it. Looks like it mite be one of those skin tight numbers.

Sound like you got your monies worth!

I'm more worried about the teams below us if we lose. Man Utd after that, will do well to get points against them. 2 losses in a row and we could be in trouble again. Fuckin YAWN. Tell me what is wrong with what I said. Nothing. It just makes me yawn. What if we beat Villa and get a point at home against Man U? What then? Oh dear.....

I won thmora will put us 10 points clear of 17th and 2 points off 7th. Its on like donkey kong!

Ben Arfa may not be a recognised striker but for me has all the qualities to be a quality striker. Pace, trickery, selfishness and a good finisher. He probably will be best behind one or two strikers however. We wont see him behind two though for sure. Unless we play 433. I would like to see 433 though. ---Harper--- Simpson---Taylor---Coloccini---Enrique Barton---Tiote---Nolan Jonas----------New Striker---------Ben Arfa In affect would be a 451 when we dont have the ball. I wouldnt be bothered if we sold Ranger but i think a loan is best to see if he progresses.

So long as we get at least one quality striker in i would let him go on loan, also let lovenkrands go too. *New striker* Ben Arfa, Shola, Best will do.

Exactly what i thought too. He had flipflops on and had a tuby grip on the left foot. Hope its not a niggling injury.

That was all over here last week. The more i look at it the more i like it though.

Nice to see he's taking the Gazza approach to nutrition.... The guy looks ripped to fuck tbh.

Indeed. My bad. Guthrie in his place then. 2-1 Shola and Barton

To be honest I believe him. Me too but for all i like his honesty and "i dont give a shit" attitude, i just think sometimes, just sometimes he should keep his mouth shut. Why bring this up now? And his rant about the FA.....is he losing it again? All that restrained anger on the pitch has to come out sometime i guess.

Yeah he is a sound bloke, very friendly. Where did ya see him?

Id go with... ---Harper--- ---Simpson---Taylor---Williamson---Enrique--- ---Barton---Nolan---Coloccini---Jonas--- ---Shola---Lovenkrands--- But i reckon its more likely to be what OzToonFan suggested with Guthrie and Barton in the middle with Jonas on the right and Ferguson on the left. Or Lovenkrands on the left and Ranger and Shola upfront. 2-1 Nolan and Shola

Some writing on both arms....wants arabic? Dunno why?

I dont know....both african i guess. Id love us to be in for him, exactly the kind of replacement for carroll we SHOULD be going for. Unlikely however.

Was sat in my dads tatto studio in town after work today when a white blinged up BMW X6 pulled up outside and out stepped Tiote and his mate. They came into the studio and he wants two tattoos on his forearms which my dads doing on monday. Had a bit crack on with him, his english isnt great like. I asked him if we were in for Adebayor and he said he doesnt know but hes spoke to him about it. Didnt say any more about it but was smiling. I told him to shoot more and to score against man u...his responce was "Il try and if i do il celebrate for you!" Absolutely quality lad! His lass works in Wild the hairdressers next to my dads studio....shes not exactly WAG material like.

Agreed. What age did shearer play till...35?

He's got two years left anyway?

Absolutely spot on in what he's said but in doing so has probably done himself no favours with the FA.

I actually can't pick from barton, Milan, tote and colo. They all bring masses to the team, of great importance and miss them all equally when they are out. Good mention for Simpson too. Always said he was a PL RB.
