bit of a one trick pony at management wasn't he. 4-4-2 and if we are losing 2-4-4! a rocket scientist he isn't!

quality forward. but that looks like a potential career ending injury. mind you some reports are saying 9 months out so may not be the career ending injury we were all thinking about.

to be fair that same side came 3rd 4th and 5th.... i see your point though, he does score goals and his build up play is better than previously. but he is so very fragile. and slightly past it.

so in 5 years time where will he be playing if at all. taylor that is. i personally reckon he'll still be here. 3rd or 4th choice centreback.

he's not quick enough, doesn't read the game well enough, isn't as big and strong as he thinks he is, and finally he;s a brown nosing opinionated cunt. other than that he's ok like...

nice work fella's. on paper our team if all played to their potential is a top 10 side and no more.sadly we can't even play to even part of our potential. my moneys on us finishing 15th, and below the mackems. i really think we need (pardon the pun) a good clear out in the summer and a transfer budget and prospective signigs planned well in advance. if we don't we are fucked.

nah, you werent at the electronics weekly 5 a side tournament in 2000. that was proper shit. but my team won!

good riddace. was one of the reasons boro got relegated. he could have had the same effect on us...

FYP

riise bentley aimar pato joe cole none of these of course will come but it doesn't hurt to think they'd like a change.

owen's definitely lost a yard,and because he's not a physical player, despite bulking up a little, he has modified his game to suit. i've noticed his link up play is much better, but that doesn't mean he'd get in any of the top 4's first teams. his time has come.

what does he actually do there though, is he a qualified coach, or is he the worlds leading bookies runner?

boring crap.... can't stand this sport.

as long as the scouts are aware of what we are after. wingers that can beat players and cross central midfielders that can tackle and pass. defenders that are fast enough for the prem and aren't bottlers. forwards that want to play for the team and are able to score goals regardless of the service. not much to ask for is it?

not been the same since 87 or whenever he split from the smiths. Jonny marr was always the more talented of the 2.

theoretically the ideal foil for owen, as owen works best playing off a target man.

after their first 2 series i thought the 3rd was a bit patchy....

for me given has been getting worse in the last 18 months. not the player he was in my opinion and still has big flaws in his game even now.

doesn't suit the physical style of the premiership...

hopefully the 99th cap is his last. he's been occasionally brilliant for england but ultimately never quite good enough. also cost us going further in 2 world cups. i'll always hold that against him mind.

aimar may be going to liverpool. benjani to man city thats all i've heard. oh and sulley muntari to manchester united in the summer. perhaps.

Robert Pires played for Metz iirc. And didn't Maric play for Zagreb? Aye. Zagreb also had Robert Prosinecki playing for them. He use to just stand there and roll his foot over the top of the ball for 90 minutes before passing it on. To be fair, it worked. thats what i do now. its quite a good way of getting fouled.

big burden on the wagebill for no end product currently. i hope he changes this around.... i have my doubts however

redknapp did it because he wanted a payrise at pompey. he got it. the journo in question is slagging off a man who has turned several business around and wants to spend some of his hard earned on a hobby (IMHO). the press are having a right go aren't they.

calf injury allegedly on saturday. reckon if he goes anywhere he'll go to arsenal. would be good cover for gallas and toure.
