I thinking meant Rudolph it's near Christmas and he wants to make sure Santa gets to his house on time and gives him his book on being diplomatic when talking on air about coloured players

a bit late to the party but sorry Poyet was in fact from Uraguay he from the tottingham hotspots not French I'm sure - sorry misunderstood thought you meant those guys were French my bad!! 

so plenty of bullshit spouted then :-)

 

so do a hell of a lot of fans too. (Not specifically aimed at you but in general). I would say more so than sherwood does. 

bloody hell a new country. I've heard of Alaska but not Anelka. Is it in Europe? 

I see the conspiracy theories are starting again this year. No one knows the reason. He will get his chance. If had was not in plans he'd not be named in the 25 nor would he be here. He could have been sold at a cut price it loaned out. 

Lets hang fire in making up things and wait and see. He might be off in January but no one knows. 

that's funny because better teams than villa threw away leads against this team so it's not just us that do it but because it's lowly Leicester we HAVE to beat them. They are not second by luck. I'm disappointed too but it's only 5 games in. Chelsea have better players and even they are not playing well and they have a team that's been together longer than ours. 

Leicester at home have s very vocal crowd the 12th man to lift them. 

lets just see around January then evaluate. Talk of relegation and getting rid of sherwood ( granted by only a few) is bloody stupid. 

At the start of the season most said we need patience but seems again that is not the case for many as it's so simple to win a game going by the logic of some. 

 

 

Bloody hell Cheap price that - has it got an MOT and Tax - if so - I got some old pennies and sixpences  that  amount to 2s and 6d - when can I come and view it - will pay cash! 

Remember that game well. Deadly Doug was still Inventing the bicycle kick (or was that the two wheeler overhead kick). Us Old farts really are that old. 

looks like it unlike a certain snake who is two-faced ;-)

As well as questions of depth I'm quite inclined for us to keep trying and trying until we find a solid, reliable centre back pairing. When was the last time we had such a 'luxury'? The top teams have those for a reason...

I'd say God and Teale now that was a partnership

Unsurprisingly, some stunning over-reaction from VT.

4 games in, he's "a donkey" and being scape-goated for a potential relegation.

Top work!

Classic VT. just watch the change when he starts scoring then it's knew all along he was good. 4 games in and we are already relegated due to

1 man. Even my step-granddaughter doesn't wet her pants as much as many on here and she's only two. Let's give them a chance and for what it's worth I don't think we will struggle if we need tomstrengthen in January sherwood will as fox will back him as he is effectively running the club in proxy to the chairman.

What's the double pivot?

The pivot is basically the central DM who sits between midfield and defense.

The double pivot is basically 2 of them, so typically 4-2-3-1 formation.

Interesting to hear that this guy has also played as a defensive MF and is good technically and comfortable on the ball

I think he sounds like a real prospect and gives us more depth and options.

I'm not sure if he'll play as a full back as he sounds more central and Sherwood seems to prefer attacking fullbacks for width.

Sounds like a good signing and I'm looking forward to seeing if / how he is used.

Kids.... back in my day, that position was known as a "stopper"

In my day (early 90s playing the early Championship Manager) he was the anchor.

I miss anchors and sweepers.

I used to be called a wan.....

I only know the word for shit in Klingon - (SHA) pronounced Small Heath alliance

Going to struggle to score goals . Going to be a tough season again

Grealish, Traore, Gil, Sinclair, Gestede, Ayew, Kozak and Gabby. I would be astonished if we can't get goals from that lot. Would take some poor management.

This. Agreed DDID knicker wetting by some for no reason going on in VT recently

Fairly happy with this summers business.

Yes we still have a few weaknesses in the squad but that was to be expected considering how bad we've been for the last couple of seasons.

It is impossible to rebuild an entire squad in one window and get it to work from day one.

It will take time to gel, and goals will be an issue since Benteke is irreplaceable, but I think many of our signings are really exciting. In particular Amavi and Adama.

Now It's down to Tim and his team to make everything work

If benteke is irreplaceable then what's the point of buying a striker? Benteke is replaceable as was Andy gray as was any other player.

Benteke is hard to replace but not irreplaceable and if he is I'm glad we didn't spunk it on a striker who couldn't replace him. I'd rather we spend it like we have. And apart from a blatant offside goal that should never have been Sinclair is out scoring him and benteke allegedly plays for a much better team.

rip our season

Lol

Yeah just can't get over some of the women on here (sorry to the real women no Offense meant) overreacting jeez.bBeen a really good window and we have enough up front with libor and the rest. Who has bought a 20+ goal a season striker this window?

Porno dwarfs son is being his usual gobbie self on Twitter, tweeted "one more in" (which apparently isn't the name of the film that's paying for these deals...) followed by "begins with A"

So that's Austin or adebayor at a guess

Or Antonio from Forest! They are also after him too.

Lamb...... Nah just kidding!!! :-)

If wet spam can beat plop then so can we. We've a good recent record at anfield. Any result is possible. Hard to predict as results have shown in the first few weeks of the season.

Let's see what transpires after this run of games then appraise were we are. As someone said there's a few surprises I'm sure. Looking forward to the games nowadays win lose or draw.

Worked hard.

Right, him him a new contract.

Him him a new contract?

If you meant 'offer him' then we already did this summer and I'm glad we did

Yeah actually shows some post for affect and don't think before they post (like me sometimes)

Why do people always say "he's only played x amount of games". Yes we all know this. We're not saying we're not giving him a chance, we're not saying he should be sold.

He may come good but we're all calling it is we see it. And what we've seen so far has been rubbish. Deal with it.

But you're not giving him a chance you are already writing him off as a waste of money after 3 games. How is that giving him a chance?

A Quick twitter search on Charbonnier and some Arsenal fan was comparing him to Giroud about 4 hours ago and states that he is faster than Walcott..

Never seen the dude play myself, but i doubt he's faster than Walcott!!

Why not? Adama is probably faster that Walcott. I personally don't know as I've not heard of this guy or seen him play so he could be faster.

Am I really the only one who doesn't want a CB that makes runs into attacking midfield/up front?

IMO CBs should not be highlights reel players and they shouldn't need to be last ditch - they should be dependable, consistent and calm.

In that case God was a prat then seeing in many games he bombed forward as did Teale. They should just stay back at all times just make a simple pass and stay around the 18 yard box and not go up for corners. After all thier job is to defend i believe. What must Chris Nicholl have thought marauding forward and having that scorcher against Everton and all 4 goals in the 2-2 draw against Leicester.

Even though it is still very early days, does anyone else look at the list of players we have signed and worry we have once again wasted a lot of money.

No.

Seconded.
