I thought the back four deserved some credit today. Never easy against a side touched by the hand of Allardyce, but they manned up.

Bout time he showed us some Wigan life saving magic!

COME ON!!!!!!

Well done Dawkins

Looking at WH. If we did snatch a win today I think we could drag them into it. Poor side and their fans are worse than ours at home.

Bowery blowing

It's like watching a team of 8 year olds who have all been put in adult bodies for the day No. Just prolongs the agony. Win or bust.

I dislike Kevin Nolan immensely

I'm worried. Wet spam will not be this bad for the whole game surely? Surprised by the Bowery hate, I didn't think he'd been THAT bad!?

Likelyhood of getting a serious, career threatening injury when playing a non contact sport is considerably less than that when playing a full contact one. I think you'll find Messi plays a contact sport. unless he has taken up tennis?!

Do you mean without the world's most popular sport? I see what you mean, but if it's not taken that seriously in that sport's community, then I don't see much point. So yeah. Let the other sports have their day in the sun. I think you should try telling the South Amercians they are not taking it seriously If the rules would allow it, the likes of the Argies and the Brazillians would play their strongest available team. Before the games started I saw an interview with Dunga, who was bemoaning the amount of pressure he was under to win Gold. The Brazillian public see it as being as important as the world cup and are desperate for Gold. I think it's a real shame we do not enter a team, although it looks like we will be doing so in 2012. At least we wouldn't have to worry about qualifying in the first place!

Don't you think it would be a bit daft not to play him if he stays? We are hardly blessed with International quality, left footed central midfielders who can play comfortably in numerous positions are we? People are getting too emotional over all this. Sure he is a word removed for what he's done, but the fact remains that if the deal does not go through, he is still an outstanding player, who HAS to give his all for us if he has any hope of staying in the England team. If he stayed he would still be out most accomplished player and if he apologises for his actions regarding the NOTW interview and the 'deadline' then we should just get the **** on with it.

I'm not certain the Crouch/Carew thing would be so unworkable. Imagine being a back four and facing Crouch and Carew up top, with Young and Gabby/Milner(?)/Lennon(?) coming at you from wide? It would certainly add yet more options to the lively attack we already have. one things for certain, it's already dragged on nearly a month and as other have said - we don't want this dragging on much longer and dominating the summer. Plus it's getting boring. I'm pretty certain Barry is all but gone and I think 8m and crouch is a great deal, Crouch effectively becomes a freebie and if it doesn't work out he will still command a reasonable fee in a year or so.

General Can nothing be done to allow smokers outside at half time? Surely there could be a designated exit in each stand where some kind of paper ticket (like the Holte suite) or a 'hand stamp' (like nightclubs are doing), so people can quickly nip out? I would have thought it wil put a lot of people off going in the ground early, and the current situation just means people are going in the toilets to smoke!!

Very good article that. Certainly made me take a step back and look at the deal again, and whilst I can't say I am over the moon about the prospect, , maybe he could do a job for us as a squad player. My main issues are the price (I know the market has inflated, but £3.7m is steep imo) and his overall quality. He went downhill fast after a poor run at West Ham and from what I have seen of him he seems very much a confidence player, brilliant one day, woeful the next. There are those who say we should back MON's judgment without question or concern, but I disagree. I voted Labour at the last Election, but I certainly don't agree with every decision they make. I will support the player from the moment he signs on the dotted line, but I maintain that there must be better value for money out there.

5. Minimum.

Great post Roberto.

Stronger - Kanye West

Yup, same here

General, I have never posted on this thread before so let me begin by saying how grateful I am to you for taking the time to communicate with the fans & thanks to Randy for all that has been done so far. Now to my question: Is there any chance of season ticket holders who renew for this season getting a free ticket for the Inter friendly? This was first mentioned by IanRobo on the main message board, it seems like a good idea and a little 'compensation' for the cut price tickets sold last year.

Would be nice, but not getting my hopes up.

Not quite as detailed and well written, but I think our opinions are broadly similar.

It depends on who stays up this season and who gets promoted via the play-offs

Disagree. Doyle is having a great season, but I don't think he is a great forward. Dean Ashton would be decent cover though.

And the boy most likely to gropw up to be a serial killer is ..... :winkold:
