Can anyone explain this fatal flaw.

Why do we give players 4 year contracts, but other clubs give their players 5 year contracts? It's no wonder we're in this situation.

Financial implications. The situation we are in with Beye, Warnock, Dunne, Ireland. If we can't get rid of them and they flop then we end up paying them for another year, 30k a week for a year is another 1.5m of Randys dolla.

Makoun for me, shouldn't have been booked because Dempsey jumped in two footed - terrible refereeing decision.

Friedel made one good save but was at fault for both goals, as it's been said we need to kill teams off. A goal at the start of the second half when we had those chances would have set us up for a comfortable win.

Jean Makoun Makoun,

He comes from Cameroon,

He's gonna talk brummie soon,

Jean Makoun Makoun.

No. They werent together at Lyon? Were they?

Makoun arrived after Houllier left.

Really looking forward to seeing Baker and Makoun in action personally.

Well he is definitely doing something right, got called up to the Rep of Ireland squad.

He has also taken Salifou's squad number (17). Does this mean the bulletproof journalist beating one has been released?

Salifou is on trial with Monaco I believe.

I expect him to get around the pitch and make his presence felt, not much else on his debut really but think he could be a great asset for us if he replicates his Lyon days.

Realistically, if we play as we can, we should be looking at 25-30 points from our last 15 games.

Collins closely followed by Cuellar, then Dunne, Clark, Petrov 8)

Great defending, it had to come back some time...

Found myself getting massively bored within 10 mins of starting any new game / loading up an old game.. So I'm just going to wait until 11.3 comes out and start one with the Villa and hope I stick to it.

I'll be applauding, he didn't try to engineer his own move, kept his mouth shut and worked hard until the day he moved unlike so many other "professionals".
