Never said you didn't mention Martins, and I don't know what his cross for Owen has got to do with Viduka getting no service. Thanks.

Perhaps you could illuminate me? 3 games, no service and scored a goal of the month contender. It'll do me. Could say exactly the same about Martins, plus has scored 3 goals, Viduka has the work ethic of a McDonalds trainee. Never mentioned Martins as he wasn't left out in the original post. Viduka is a top player and I'm sure will be a top player for us. Give him the ball to his feet and he'll do the business. No good pumping long balls up to him.

Viduka.

N.W.A. - Fuck Tha Police

Good? I wasn't aware he had lifted any trophies during his time here.

She'll die mate, it's nailed on. will she fuck she's got a healthy coke habit which has enabled to sell some records and carve a career out for herself. I for one dont believe everything i read in the papers which may well be encouraged by her record company. She aint the first celebrity to do so and wont be the last, Im sure most people who take coke die She's going to die, let it go bud.

Touché.

Who's knocking him?

He'll be wearing a Boro shirt to impress the fans next.

Yup, I'm deeply upset about that!

Definitely done nowt wrong and unfortunately should still be dropped tbh. Damned right - you play the best man for the role and that is undoubtedly Given. Just because Harper has done nothing wrong doesn't mean he is entitled to keep playing until he does - that's fucking ludicrous!!! TBF even if Harper doesn't make the mistake we're suggesting he will, he still won't play to the standard of Given. I've seen Harper concede goals before that weren't his fault but that I was pretty certain Given would have stopped. This is the difference for me. It's not that Harper is some sort of comedy keeper like Paul Robinson, it's just that he can't quite pull of the saves that the very best keepers can. And since we have a keeper who can make those saves it makes complete sense to play him. You can feel sorry for Harper when he gets dropped but letting that cloud your decision is just as bad as playing players simply because they are the bigger name and gets you nowhere in football. In some respects yes but, apart from a short time under Gullit's reign, Harper has never been the first choice keeper at SJP and has had countless opportunities to move on but has chosen to remain as our backup keeper. He had a spell as first choice under Robson in the 2000/01 season and Given requested to be transfer listed.

Who is also a good footballer?

They haven't got a striker that can score 20 goals a season. That's a fact. Never said they had tbh.

Really? I thought SAF would have bought one by now.

If a better player is there to replace him yes. Would you stick with Shola if he was on form in place of Owen or Pattison in place of Barton? Of course you wouldn't because no matter how well those players are playing they have never shown in their careers that they can play consistently better than the players you would replace them with. Harper is not as good as Given plain and simple. Just because he's playing to a high standard of his own ability it does mean he's a better player. If Emre was in the team playing well I wouldn't suggest dropping him for a fit again Geremi and the same goes for N'Zogbia and Duff. When you have two competing players who can both deliver the same standards I wouldn't advocate dropping one who is playing well just because another who was playing well before he got injured returns. That would set a bid example and show favouritism. This is what Roeder did with Duff and pissed off Charlie to the point that he alsmost left the club which would have been a crying shame even if Duff has been performing. But as I said before, Harper and Given are not equal, Harper cannot consistently perform to the same standard that Given can. Unfortunate but true. Like when Saha kept van Nistelrooy out the first side and won the Carling Cup?..

If Shola was on form and scoring goals? Yes, I'd play him. Whereas Pattison is utter shit and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the first team squad.

He got injured, tough luck, shit happens. Harper has came in and done well and doesn't deserve to be dropped.

It's not all about form, it's about class. Like it or not Harper is prone to the odd howler, are we meant to wait around for him to drop said clanger and then bring Given back in? The best teams play their best players. Nothing that I have seen tells me that Given is going to be anything short of top class when he comes back so why leave him out? It gives players that competitive edge. No team should have automatic choices. If you play well you should keep your place - and I mean any player, not just in goal. Plus, why change a winning team?

Drop players when they're on form. Excellent idea.

What he said. Harper isn't in there because Shey performed badly so why not put him back in? Because Harper hasn't played badly.

Bellamy.

Does it come free with a can of wd40 so she can grease her sides down to squeeze through the doors?

Probably, but doesn't Shay always get unhappy whenever he loses his place? Take this article with a pinch of salt tbh.
