It's sad, but I love watching these!

And Wade Elliott. Isn't Wayne Bridge available too? He'd do.

Yes - it's definitely the truth.

That's a lot - I'm still on Virgin Media, only reason is that I like cable and there is no competition here for that. I pay £75/month for; XL TV (includes BT Sport HD) Sky Sports TiVo downstairs, V+ upstairs 152 meg BBI (which is pointless) Phone rental That is way too much - I've just this evening decided to downgrade to the basic TV package (never watch any of the channels), downgrade to the lowest BBI (who needs one hundred and fifty bloody two meg at home??) and dump the phone line as we never use it. What a waste of money.

F**k it, he sounds amusing. If we get the "Man City Dutch Balotelli" and not the "Liverpool Dutch Balotelli", we can't really complain.

I can't stand him, he really is the most miserable f**ker that exists, as summed up by this miserable post.

Sunderland, Newcastle and Everton matches I guess?

Yes - he's a very good defender who has happy to be backup and wait and when asked upon, has done okay. He's definitely someone who gets better with a run in the team.

It's not poor at all, everyone has said he looks knackered and been asking for him to be rested. He was rested and we won.

£2.5m a year, Saints or Man Utd. If he comes here, well, I'll be stunned.

hah! I do actually like/appreciate your analysis of footballers and matches, you're one of the more erudite posters who know what you're talking about. (god, I sound like a creep, but you know what I mean?) I like Chez's posts on matches as well, but he doesn't post enough.

1. Because he wanted more regular 1st team football 2. Because we've now had THREE managers who don't rate him as good enough for regular 1st team (starting) football Ironically he doesn't start for Hull much either, so that's now FOUR managers who don't think he's good enough for a first eleven start every week ...

Well we have, how many weeks ago was the Villa game? Which is the first game we were noticeably poorer/tired looking/injured in.

I'd much rather read match reports from people who aren't up themselves twerps, but hey ho.

Which is kind of my point, we're REALLY short on quality in depth.

I wouldn't bother. I couldn't make it tonight so I sold my ticket to a mate, couldn't find a decent stream to watch the match. Watched the Missing - worst ending ever to a good series. Sh*t evening overall, FFS

No they don't. It's now blindingly obvious we don't have the squad depth and when I say depth, I mean depth in quality, not just quantity. 3, 4 or 5 players in January would really help with both keeping us where we are in the league and a run in the FA Cup. We haven't become a bad team over night, but without our first 11 firing on all cylinders, we are short on quality to bring on to make a difference.

Do shut up you bellend.

I'd still have him back - he loves this club.

Mané is f**king awful it has to be said. As is Mayuka. Gardos isn't looking such a smart buy so far either. FFS. They can stick the "black box" up their backsides on those 3 signings. I'd rather have played Turnbull, Gallagher and Hesketh, if fit, but whatever.

Black boots = proper footballers. No, I'm not being facetious, I prefer them, they look better and, er, grown up.

Hmmm. I'll let you off ...

Well if your English above is anything to go by, I'm sure it'll be an extremely erudite read.

No.

I would rest Tadic, 100%. The guy looks knackered. Let's give him the week to train and not play in this one - maybe an option from the bench, but he looks like he needs some recovery time. Not even sure he'd excel in a match against a team like Sheffield Utd, probably need someone a bit sturdier.
