All West Ham so far. I'm glad Carlton Cole is playing though, I'm more confident they won't win when he starts.

Reackon Lee Clark is having a little smile to himself?

Yeah, he was such a clever player he was always offside because he was so good at running in behind that He was thinking ahead of everyone else on the pitch. Apparantly.

Like Antonio and Papa Waigo, another one that got away FFS. If only we'd got them all.

Far worse have so that's no great gamble. Lucky we didn't sign him though hey, not really premier league is he.

Correct. Class player.

The title has gone. FACT

/\ he hasn't developed though has he. He's still being loaned out to league one clubs two season on. Why aren't championship clubs falling over themselves to sign this world beater? Why can't he get near the Reading team?

Over the season we are. So two strikers capable of 20 goals each a season and two midfielders with 10 each or one striker with 20 and 3 midfielders with 10. Okay then.

Funnily enough I couldn't help thinking that the fact 2 seasons after leaving us he's still playing in league one suggests that's his Level and he wasn't as good as a lot I our know it alls thought. Still he's quick which is all a player needs to be in some of or fans eyes.

We've lost one game in 14 and are leading scorers. there is doubt if other teams have worked how to nullify our threats they aren't very good at doing it.

De Ridder is a winger, you need to be able to do a bit more than "put in a decent cross every now and then" I'm afraid. I'm truly stunned at the hero worship he gets. although considering how great people thought Bradley Wright Phillips and Antonio were, two other players who was quick, ran around a bit but delivered very little then it shouldn't be a surprise.

This is my generally my prefered formation. Guly can play that role behind the front two as well. however it would mean Fox and Richardson can't get forward so much and they have provided a number of assists. There would be no place in the team for 4 goals in 3 games Billy Sharp. Lambert would be our lone striker so unable to drop deep or wide which has does to such great effect. as you rightly say we'd need a left sided midfielder if we were to play Lallana in the middle. So actually Nige is already utilising what he's got, yes?

The reason not the excuse is that we have two holding midfielders playing in the middle who don't break forward. These are our tactics, unless of course you are suggesting Nige gas got his tactics wrong?

A handful of adequate performances in CM and a season full of terrible ones at centre back doesn't make a player the best central midfielders in the last 7 years IMO. In fact he wasn't even the beat CM in that team, Viafara and Guthrie were much better players.

So the words "we got him on a free and he eats Sushi" mean nothing to you FFS?

He was a proper captain. His performance for United in the champions league second leg v Juventus in their treble season is one of the best examples of a captain dragging his team back into a game I've ever seen. Still we don't want players like that, we want nice boys who post how great the fans are on twitter.

No wonder you don't fit in around here Jamie.

Why?

Yep me too, we used to stand at the back of the Milton in those days, the place went mental. If that had happened at St Mary's half the crowd would have missed both goals as they'd be rushing home to beat the traffic.

I think Scott Parker, Joe Cole and Peter Crouch, to name but three might disagree with you about that.

Indeed, today we encourage obnoxious, precocious teenagers to have an opinion on everything, 100 years ago you'd be seen and not heard.

Yep, Jarvis as well, although I think bigger clubs will be sniffing around him. Roger Johnson as well, if he can stay off the booze!

Can I just check this is the same Pele that lost us the play off first leg against Derby and is now playing for Hayes and Yeading you are talking about?
