I hate the french but after spending 6 months in dublin this year i fuckin hate the irish even more......im kinda glad they got raped by the french. But it should be replayed really.

Just a thought...as he has already changed the naming to sportsdirect.com@st james for commercial reasons......doesnt that mean he himself HAS to put money into the club? We could spend that on gary caldwell and henrik larsson

£500,000 would break the sorry fat bastard.

We wont spend £500,000 in january like.

Easily

What ever happened to Alexia Chung...now she was hot!

Robert would play for free....

I like this idea... Stick me on the list for a ton! See what happens...

Sad...RIP

This!!

I think the halcyon days of a gillespie or a ginola type winger in our team has gone for a while....Raylor is a completely different type of player. He is a wide midfielder NOT a winger and cant beat his man so relies on technical abilty which at times has been pretty fuckin good, but on the flipside also has been fuckin awful...consistency is his issue but for ability he definatly is PL standard.

What a load of shit. Only Enrique and S Taylor are Premier League quality. Can you not remember how utterly awful these players were last season? Sunderland spent over 80m when they came up and just survived. It would take a similar level of investment for us. Sima... Harper, Guthrie, Nolan and Raylor have 100's of premiership starts between them mate. I never said they were top quality PL players but head and shoulders better than the wank we see at teams like burnley, birmingham, wolves et al barring a few. Simpson is young and will DEFINATLY develope into a PL player for sure IMO. And tell me what you see in carroll that makes you sure he WONT be a PL player....other than his inability to look across the backline which is something he will develope with experience tbh. Simpson might do, but he isnt ours. Will need a lot of new players if we are to survive again in the Premiership. I'm still not certain that we will gain automatic promotion. A lot of this depends on injuries where if we get a few over the winter, we will struggle. Pretty much what i said already tbf. I know Simpson is on load but i reckon we could if we had any sense sign him up permanently.

Can you really see this making him think one morning "oh these dont like me i think i'll sell"?? NO He will when and only when we get promoted and someone pays him well over 100mil for the club. Until then we can only make it as uncomfortable and embarrassing for him as possible. Not exactly true, he will sell as soon as someone offers him what he is looking for, which at this moment in time is £80million. PP im sorry mate but thats just bullshit and you of all people should know we are being spun a fuckin line. There is not a fuckin hope in hell he has any intention of selling the club for 80mil.....i mean would you? Paid over 250mil for the club and looking likely to going straight back up and the clubs value increasing again? While i respect you for what your doing, i think your bid, like many is futile and is going to fall by the wayside....Unfortunatly.

On this form we are looking good for automatic promotion averaging 2 points a game. And what is pleasing is we havnt really got out of 1st gear yet. The question is how many gears does this squad have though? If we can play at the same sort of level we showed yesterday and learn to batter teams when on top then we will be fine...in THIS division....BUT...with a few more injuries or suspensions then i could see us easily slipping away if we are not careful. Yesterday has to be the benchmark now and we need to keep that standard as a minimum expected. My worry is this though... Say we win the league and get promoted...then what? How do we make sure we dont just fall back into the 2nd tier? For me we would be in a better position financially with a much lower wage bill yes but in terms of PL standards as far as our squad is concerned we are woefully short. Our 1st team is nearly there but we seriously lack anything after that. Harper, Enrique, Saylor, Simpson, Nolan, Guthrie, Raylor and Carroll are all PL standard imo and could get better. Krul, Kadar and Ranger are all showing signs of being decent players too but are yet to prove themselves in the PL. And then theres coloccini who has been good for us in the CC and could maybe use this season to his advantage and be a PL player next season but imnot convinced...similar could be said about Gutierrez too. Smith is one im really wanting to take his form into the PL though, he has been, along with Enrique our best player so far this season...i just hope that the CC isnt his level and that he just needed a good run and a bit of a confidence boost. 20...30mil would be needed to spend on improving this squad and i think its fair to say the FCB WONT be willing to invest that or even a fraction of that. I just hope and pray that when we go up there is a few financially strong consortiums ready to step up and pay the fat cunt off.....I just cant wait for this fuckin nightmare to be over! Anil Abarmi or whatever he's called.....are you watching?

Clear as day...fuckin brilliant...wont make a difference though...see him smirking at half time? COCK

you will have to let me know how you all got on Bunch of cunts you lot

Yup! and 6 points clear of all the playoff teams. Solid performance and a long time coming...still wouldnt say we were at our best but it was pretty close! In spells we were brilliant but at times sat back and against a good side we would be punished. Harper...7 Had nothing to do except from one great save second half. Simpson...7 Sounded like a composed tidy performance and a great goal! Enrique...8 Solid in defence and a real threat going forward...i wonder when he will score? Taylor...8 Solid...Just shows how good his understanding is with colo. Coloccini..7 Pretty solid and controlled performance Gutierrez...9 Just for the first 20mins best he has played for us and a wonder goal Guthrie...7 Sounded busy and unlucky to hit the post. Smith...8 Controlled midfield Nolan...7 Quiet 1st half but sounded hungry 2nd with a couple of audacious lob attempts. Carroll...8 Big, strong, good touch and once again great in the air infront of goal and in defence....number 9 for me. Harewood...6 Done nothing but was busy

Gutierrez subbed???? Must be an injury.....

2-0 Carroll fuckin come onnnnn!!!

Woooooaaaaaah gutierrez!! 1-0 sounded like an amazing goal after a great start!

Anyone know what radio-station the toon match is on......any links? Thanks

Reminded me of Lua-Lua's goal against Leverkusen. This is a great result for us if it stays the same...if WBA lose and we win we go 5 points clear i think. Edit....A draw between WBA and Leicester probably is the best result for us...4 points clear if we win.

I like the fact Hughton seems to of grown a set when it comes to droppin Nicky Butt although his decision to start Harweood infront of Ranger confuses me. I know he may look at it as Harewood has experience and Ranger is still a bit green but Ranger offers so much more to the team. Still going for 3-0...
