Didn't Hangeland just sign a new contract ?! And Astori was only linked in January, who knows if he was on our radar last summer. We didn't even seem to be linked with any CB's last summer IIRC. All a bit of jumbled memory though...

TBF it's just what I remember, rather than quotes. I can't be arsed to go back through finding old threads about it. Fair enough Kraken. I always said that we needed to bring in an experienced head at CB, but finding one with prem experience would have been tough. Personally I think Collins is absolutely dreadful, and would be totally lost playing passing football from the back. He's in there to do a job, no nonsense and boot it long whenever possible. Other than that, the CB's around really just weren't that good or not realistic signings. So not surprised we looked abroad, despite it taking a while to get Yoshi up to speed.

There was loads of people asking why we were signing players with no prem experience. And quite a lot over the summer our transfers were compared with West Ham's and Readings. Quite a few people were saying that Pog was much better signing than JRod and Guthrie was better than Davis, Collins better than Yoshi.... Just because they weren't better the day they signed, some people on here said they were poor signings.

I said exactly the same thing as the ball was in flight ! One of those moments, great goal.

Am I right in saying that his last free kick goal was Torquay in the Carling Cup last season? And didn't get one in the league? He's been so close to popping one in this season, about time one found the net ! (I'm discounting the Liverpool one as it was a huge deflection!)

Reckon they'll announce Di Canio tomorrow morning.

Lampard always hits the wall somehow.

He's announcing the stadium expansion plans...

Looks like we've got to lose atleast 4 games for us to have a chance of going down. Win 2 games and we're pretty much safe regardless.

Anyone know that website where it gives you the %s of who will finish where ?!

It's certainly gone up! About 2 months ago you'd have probably said that 36/7 was enough...

Had the best chance of the game as yet though !

I thought Moses was their best player by a long way. Lampard was dreadful. Torres was ok, but Chelsea just gave it to him in the air. Hazard looked class when he came on but obviously Benitez wants him for Monday.

This. However I'll be disappointed if we don't get in the Champs League

JRod has still been playing in a wide position. He's not playing as a striker. But he has the pace and work rate to play up front as well as defensively

This.

Better for the lesser teams, and worse for the bigger teams. However last night was probably an exception as they had to squeeze 8 games in. P.s. football first is much better!

Savage said on twitter he's going to do some analysis on Rickie on MOTD2

I didn't really see many mistakes from him. 90% pass success and won 100% of his tackles...

The passion was oozing out of him yesterday. He wanted to win so badly and understandable why. Him and Morgan are incredible.

Interesting, but 2 promotions say otherwise...

That was quick!!

Was something in the Kingsland Northam corner not sure if it was the same incident. Also looked like something kicked off around block 2 as well.
