Shoody

Unless we sign a really attacking left back

Its true, in a few years in terms of 'being able to bring in players' we could find ourselves 8th with Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, City, QPR, Spurs, Liverpool all ahead of us but Im not sure QPR will go on a spending spree, not sure their fanbase commands a top team presume they will be happy with midtable and securing their PL place for a good long while yet. I really think we'll struggle if we dont make big improvements next season, if we cant fight it out for Europe next season Spurs and Liverpool will be another big step up for us, where as they are catchable if we improve vastly next season.

yes history books, but when you look at the last 10 years we only start to catch them up in terms of 'who finished higher than who' at around the start of last decade. In recent years they have finished higher than us (tight but 3-2 to them in the last 5 years) they have a much better squad than us (one of our best players this season is theirs) and have made more money that us this year as well as getting MUCH MUCH MUCH better worldwide press with which to entice players. We on the other hand have a deficit of £40m to make up, a wage bill 10m more than theirs and a worse squad. History tells us we are very similar clubs, with us the more successful. The present tells us we are similar clubs but they are out performing us.

Delicate position financially? They were making £30m bids for strikers left right and centre at the end of January. Besides if they needed to make money they have £80m in Modric and Bale. Unsure we have £80m in our squad

Why are we even talking about this its pointless. Arsenal would never buy bent.

Spurs when 'Arry leaves, outside chance of Utd

2-1 WBA imo they are in too good-a form for us. ------------Friedel Walker-Collins-Clark-Young ---------Petrov-Delph Downing--------------Young ---------Heskey-Bent

Think they'll be in the market for two keepers then come June! Anybets they try and take both brads

If a bigger team wanted a poacher theyd go for Hernandez or Falcao and obviously Chicarito wont be leaving Utd any time soon

If he turns out to be good a lot of us will have apologies to make tbf though!

Odds mean nothing etc etc However im a fan of those odds meaning we get Moyes

Shit game but not much we could do about it, shouldve taken NRC or Petrov off for Delph/Makoun/Pires to get the game moving with the amount of space we had. Heskey should've come off earlier. (but i disagree with the 1 given to heskey by bauer) Happy with a point just not a great game. Expected worse after we went 1-0 down. Unbeaten in 4 aint bad though!

Darren, you are quality

Bad decision imo

Albrighton on Downing off

Great corner, nobody there

Whey

They're looking dangerous, GMac needs to tell Ash to push out to the left, he's drfiting into the middle.

Wigan 1 - 1 Sunderland

1-0 Wigan

Richard Dunne the attacking midfielder!?

According to SSN Walters wasn't offside for their offside goal, only Shawcross (who didnt impede play aparently) could be 2-1 to them

Our players' own fault we've gone down to early and easily about 6 times now and because of it we're gunna lose a penalty shout or something later.
