All chants should be simple or they will never catch on, also previously tried and tested for other players work. Has the old Marion chant ever be reused? If not it could be adopted for Shaw: Ohhhh Luuuuke, Oh Luuuuuke, Ohhhh Luuuukey Shaw ..... Ohhh Luukkke, Ohhh Luuuke, Ohhh Luukeyyy Shaw (those who know the Marian Pahars chat will understand) Simple and effective!

So looking at the table I am fairly happy that we are better than both Reading and QPR who are conveniently below us. However, to stay up the argument always is you have to beat and be better than the teams around us! So of the bottom half relegation contenders who do we think we are better than and who can we expect to finish above. I would hope we are better than the likes of Stoke, Norwich and Sunderland over a season, maybe Aston Villa to. Apart from that I'm not sure! My worry is that the team has potential and has the signs, but are we better than third worse in the league over the season? This isn't a rant/moan/being negative. Just a general view of current EPL make up, where we potentially stand, and hopefully to encourage some discussion. UTS

Come on lads keep a bit of faith! We've got a half for the TEAM to put it right! Gazza is one world class gave from being a (young) superstar again!

Mine would be: In: Dawson Left Back (apologies I cant give a decent example) Out: Mayuka Boruc Using hindsight I now believe Gazz is good enough until at least Jan so would substitute the wages on a left back. I've not seen much of Mayuka but based on Puncheon's form and back up in (dare I say it) Guly I think Dawson would have been a better bet. Would then give defense of Fonte and Dawson with Yoshida and Hooiv as back up. And as a side this I think is quite a interesting thread, some of the comments seem unnecessary and along the lines of arguing for the sake of it. Calm down boys!

Just heard villa played a squad with average age of 23. What's ours? I would guess something along the likes of 25?

MLG, when is the Iphone version out?

Leighton bains, younger than cole (I think), class LB, set piece specialist.

Going to the Compton, 5mins from highbury station

Thought he seemed like a right tool, let's beat arsenal and villa then see what he says!

Nice cropped hair style.....

I assume this has been posted already: talian football expert James Horncastle: "Raising an eyebrow or two in Italy are reports that Bologna are seeking to take the 2006 World Cup and 2007 Champions League winning striker Alberto Gilardino on loan from Genoa for €1.5m with an option to make the deal permanent for a further €5m once the window opens again in January. Would this be there replacement for Gaston?

Newcastle did the same with a good but inexperienced manager in hughton. They've done well (although with our ex manager)

So as part of my job I work with Italians and ever year 2-3 weeks in August is no business time as they all take yearly holiday, this includes my senior PMs. Before I'm lambasted this is my experience of working with Italians and is in line with what ive seen with NC

Wasn't this the Woodward/Brazil luvvie bloke strategy?

Gai Assulin just relelaed from Man City. Young Winger come hrough the Barcelona academyh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gai_Assulin CDAJ?

Is it terrible if I thought (genuinely) he could do a job, even if just as cover, or impact coming off the bench? Wages wouldn't be terrible. Yes, now bring on the abuse!

Try saying that to an olyimpic silver medalist...

I'd prefer as little live tv as possible, let us go about our business like south coast ninjas!

Ipswich away, took an American friend who was here on holiday and he's now a saints fan!

Smeichael, would he accept being number 2 for a period of time? Who's the english goalie who went to play in turkey?

Sigarsson (sp) would be a real statement of intent!

Correct me if I am wrong. We have three games left are 6 point in front of Westham (7 effectively with goal difference). Does this mean that one more win will guarantee us promotion? With PeBo, Cov and Borough coming up I cant see that being a huge challenge (I see 6points from these). If this is correct hen we really arnt in a bad position, going up 1st or 2nd really doesnt matter, its all about getting in the prem! UTS!

Ruddocks a big lad now!
