  1. Shows how are we've come, people calling that performance average.
  2. Shows how far we've come under Sherwood that people have called that performance average/nervous lol
  3. Is think Tim might well be helping a mate get a better deal at another club.
  4. I think Benteke will be better than any striker Keane has ever worked with.
  5. But if the manager is under pressure, surely he can't go... To be fair to Keane, he did say IF he was somehow linked to that manager's job. I'm not being fair to him, just like he hasn't been fair to Benteke returning to training following an 8 months injury lay off.

  7. He said he wouldn't go to games managers were under pressure, after being at the same game the manager was under pressure. The guys an idiot. Also he was at the Sunderland game we won 4-0. It's a none story made up to get into the papers to sell books. It's almost Katie Hopkins like.
  8. Yep. Thought those two stats were pretty amazing. Yep better than the amazing Gary fact.
  9. Reading some of the first few pages, there's some gems...including this from me...forgetting the Stoke thing.
  10. I think he means instead of watching us win the FA cup, he's going to avoid it by taking a train journey towards Bournemouth. Whose football team he expects to bid for Benteke. Which either shows that he's never watched Benteke play or, the more likely option, he's a **** inbred moron. Bullshit, he will sit there in his Arsenal shirt and recording it hoping Arsenal win so he can watch it time and time again masturbating.
  11. This month could be the biggest high, or the biggest low in my 26 years following them. Amazing turn around.
  12. After all the big build up, he's just the emperors new clothes. He makes me respect Carragher as a pundit more, and sky don't always get it right.
  13. The biggest worry would be Delph and Cleverley, but without Europe I think they should be ok. You also have to remembers that we've essentially had only 2 sometimes 3 defenders fit in the last couple of months, something that under Lambert would always result in catastrophic results.
  14. The coaching was the main reason why I thought that Sherwood would be a good appointment. He's supposed to be a superb coach and we are really seeing that. I think coaching was the Lambert regimes biggest problem. I said that for some time, and the switch from the defensive type of football to the pointless possession showed this up. The problem with movement and chance creation and obsession with shape and getting back behind the ball just didn't work with the players we've got. Whether Tim can keep this up long term is a genuine question, but I can't see why not. We don't know what he's like in terms of player recruitment, one of the plus points in the Lambert regime (I always though these were good players, just he wasn't getting the best out of them) but I think we've seen genuine tack tickle nouse at times, which was supposed to be weak point. I'm also a fan of the varied play. We can play keep ball, go direct, counter and high pressure at different times. I can't see why with the right signings, (including Cleverley, a centre half and defensive midfielder), keeping Benteke 1 more year why a good top half finish isn't out of the question. We don't draw many under Tim.
  15. I think his incositancy is more to do with being injured for 8 months.
  16. I'm a bit undecided at the moment. I think Guzan is a far better keeper, but his confidence is shot ATM. It was how he reacted to the goal against City rather than the goal it's self. The second wouldn't have happened with Guzan in goal, I know Given was being fouled, but he was still weak. It was the right time to drop him, but I'm not sure. I suppose I would give Given a few games.
  17. I liked their standing ovation when we sang Wembley though.
  18. If mid table is all we can probably hope for, this is how I want us to play.
  19. If Given is number 1 now, does that mean Brad plays in the final? Lol
  20. Sad news, it's shows cancer doesn't care about wealth and fame.

    33 I had a shocker.
  22. After a long conversation on Twitter someone piped up with Clayton Donaldson. He's scored 15 goals in 45 games.
