On the performances today you would pick Heskey every single time. He has lost a yard of pace and the desire he had last season.

What the hell has happened to Steve Sidwell? He used to be average but I dont think he made one tackle or one pass in the 10mins he was on.

I watched this last night and thought it was **** shite. A modern day take on the Running Man. Im not highbrow, I quite liked "Law Abiding Citizen" but never really got into it. Thats the great thing about this thread. You can try some films that you wouldnt normally and enjoy something you wouldnt otherwise bother watching. Likewise you can waste 90 mins of your life watching shite.

Had both and the Scenic was a much nicer car to drive and bloody nippy for diesel. Started playing up and my brother who knows his motors said it was probably the oil pump and a £1200 bill. Wife has a Picasso, just doesnt feel as solid as the Renault though but has done some miles at minimal costs. You takes your pick

As others have said 4-5-1 with Heskey just didnt work. I would have had Ash Young on the bench and played Carew and Delf up front. We got balls into the box but nobody gets on the end of them. As a manager Carew would do your fruit in giving away needless frekicks which just took the pressure off their back-four. Pretty confident that we will do them at Villa Park and we should have enough to get through to the semis.

I suggest my wife get this but she seemed a bit sceptical

Seems to have been the days for tears doesnt it.

Are we playing 4-4-2 though?

So one win in the last five games....... Depends on if you view Heskey as playing a proper one of 2 strikers or is he taking up a deeper 4-4-1-1 position? Not sure anyone can claim a moral (or immoral) victory on this as we will never know how the team would have done playing 4-5-1 will we.

Laura you do know iphones and water dont mix dont you. Anybody else had a look at Waze yet?

Totally agree Drat. Cannot believe he started with the 10 outfield player who started on Thursday. Just what is the point of having a bigger squad if you only use it when injuries intervene. ? Our strikers have got some stick in this thread some of which is a bit harsh. The team seem to play better when Heskey plays as he liks the midfield and attack better than Carew does however a lot of his work is done near the centre circle and so is not in the box when the crosses come in. Similarly Gabby works the channels and works hard but again he is not in the box often enough when the ball comes in. Someone like NRC or maybe even Delph would have worked better today. The wingers can then work the wings and get further forward as they can to a certain extent forgo their defensive duties. Lack of any other substitutions today is a puts a big question mark over MONs tactical abilities again

And the constant going backwards from decent position only for Guzan to kick it out for a Bburn throw! Wrecks my head so much! THIS. Also yet again from 55 - 70 minutes our midfield dissappeared without MON taking action (both Heskey and Petrov were spent forces by then) Would have taken this result at 7.55pm but should have been so much better. A 20 goal striker would change our season so much.

Just before the 60 minute mark they were at the edge of our box and Petrov was too tired to run 10 yards to chase their player, they were putting more and more pressure on us and we needed a substitution, MON brought on Carew for Heskey and I turned the TV off. They deserved the 3 points on the hour of the match I saw. Cannot complain too much as we have had a good run but sometimes MON needs to make substitutions based on the game rather than his play by numbers routine. Bring on Liverpool.

Anyone know what happened to the topic concerning a Premier League Manager and a visit to house of fallen women

Rumours of version 4 software doing the rounds already, some mention of a forward facing camera (but then Im sure the same rumour appeared before the 3GS was released) What would be the killer upgrade that would make you want to get the next version? Better screen, better camera, new user interface. People are expecting the next Iphone to be a major upgrade after the rather limp 3G to 3GS one this year.

Well a personal highlight for me would be to see the faces of Jacqui Smith & Hazel Blears when hopefully the GBP kick them out on their arses for milking the system. (You can add any other, labour, tory, lib dem MP of your choice here) After watching Panorama last night when for some reason Blears didnt want any airtime on BBC One, I hope the BBC do the decent thing at the next election and turn the tables and avoid her.

So some would have us believe. Good result against are rather awful Pompey team with how many changes...................one swallow. Always good to reach a semi but would be nicer to go all the way

Thanks guys for the replies,didnt expect such a quick response. 3 kids and 8 adults at the moment. We have a dual oven and a steamer so lucking to steam most of the veg if possible to leave the oven free for the meat, roasties and possibly some roats veg as an alternative.

If the "right direction" is monotonous, predictable football with players incapable of passing to each other, then yes we are. If it's qualifying for the Champions League, then no we're not. Spurs were so much better than us today in the second half, and we were supposed to be at home. Dreadful football from us, yet again. THIS!

Well it appears that nearly all mine and the wifes family are coming to us on Xmas day and would like to make a bit of an effort with the luchtime meal. The wife will no doubt handle the turkey and pork which gives me free range for the rest of the day. Any suggestions for doing some nice homemade roasties, variations on the veg - stuffing etc would be appreciated so I can have a trial run before the big day

I have seen lots of posts over the last 18 months about our club, our manager and the "3 year cycle". I will say that my hatrid of Harry Rednapp knows no bounds and would hate to see him managing our club, but what he has achieved at Spurs in the 18 months he has been there showed last night when if you are honest they pretty much played us off the park. I am not sure how much money "arry" has spent in his time at Spurs compared to MONs spend in his time here and would make interesting reading. I dont believe we are competing for top 4 - more likely top 6. Man City will at some point wake up with or without Hughes, Liverpool too, Spurs look like they have a basis of a decent squad. If we can finish top 5 this season or top 6 with a couple of good cup runs I will be more than happy for Martin to continue but so far this season he has raised more doubts in mind than at any time under his stewardship.

If I was to take the wooly liberal view I would say they obviously have their reason for voting this way....... But you could well be justified. I wonder if anyone who voted that way would have the decency to explain their choice.

I sure this post means something, I would ask but then there is little point. Really interesting to see the 3 major parties so close together. Now if that happened at the polls it would be very interesting wouldnt it

This

Just out of interest why? Same as the idol bastards who dont vote, your spoilt paper changes nothing in the great scheme. (You may feel you have made a protest vote) Just seems a bit meaningless really Sorry It's because of the people who do vote that we have such useless govts - they're the ones who chose them. If more people actually demanded change instead of doing as they're told things might improve. What's worse? To abstain and register your distrust /dissapproval of the current political franchises or to vote and approve of the fools running the country. So you spoil your ballot paper and your next door neighbour just cant be arsed. Just say BNP got enough votes to win in your ward - your action and your neighbours inaction could hand those scum a seat. You may well morally be correct but it would be a cold comfort i suspect
