The non-response to United's change was quite deliberate IMO. The solution was so obvious I can't believe Adkins failed to make the change by ineptness. I think we viewed the last half hour as a useful training exercise and weren't too fussed about countering United's change.

Why didn't you ask him? Bet he doesn't even post on here.

Dunno, 20ish?

That is an odd one to make up!

Which is why Bart should get a chance.

Yes, that was very good hands. There's no doubt he is talented in many respects but it seems evident to me that he is likely to make amateurish mistakes on a fairly frequent basis. I certainly think he will cost us many more goals than Kelvin and I think Kelvin is probably better at the snap reflex saves. Given that we control a lot of matches, KD is the sort of keeper we need; someone who can pull of a "worldie" when they've had bugger all to do for 80 minutes.

Was this ever in doubt? Do some people seriously think Lambert and Barnard would be a potent strike force in the Prem? They are decent players and could do fine in the Championship but if our ambitions are as stated (ie not just scrabbling about at the bottom of the Prem) then evidently we would sign better players. The only person I can think of who ever said Lambert was good enough for the Premier League was Pardew!

It's not Morgan's role to score goals but only 1 in about 100 matches is pathetic for a midfielder, however you dress it up. Especially in the third tier FFS - it's not as though he hasn't had plenty of chances; he has and he's made a massive balls up of most of them. He was excellent yesterday, however.

What I take from yesterday: When we are on telly, posters who never normally watch us talk a lot more sense than usual. Also, Adkins has some balls; basically treating the last half an hour as a training exercise and not bothering to try to respond to United's change was quite brave IMO and probably the right thing to do in the circumstances.

Nah, they are mostly ****e. So is the Premier League at the moment.

What a ridiculous post.

TBH I'd rather taxes went to hardworking foreigners than lay-about scum Brits. There you go, you are cordially invited to turn to the appropriate page of the Tweed Blazer and Elbow Patch iPad Toting Bourgeoise Faux-Intellectual Handbook of Belligerent Diatribe for the Perpetually Menstrual and Bitter. Knock yourself out.

That's just plain wrong. It's not a valid opinion, it's just wrong.

Case was popular amongst the northern fans. I'm glad others have backed me up though. I assumed I'd imagined the whole thing given how much the club hates its history and all ex-players etc ad nauseum....

Nice to see some legendary figures of yesteryear on the pitch yesterday.

They've trebled the cap, not prescribed that all fees must treble. It is a tricky situation. Maybe we would be better off if Labour hadn't opened the door to fees.

How is that the government's fault? Surely the non-discrimination principle is part of EU law and would apply to any fee-funded system. And we know where fees came from originally...

Another honourable mention for Antii Niemi. Took cash. Never played. Great work.

Barts faults occur far more often though.

Dunno but I like flares. Should be more of that sort of thing in Engerland IMO.

Exactly right, not to mention that the second goal was an indirect result of a poor decision by Bart. He is a decent player but there's no way he's better than KD, no way at all. Also agree with those praising Butterfied. I've said all along that his ball play is much better than Richardson's and his delivery into the box is superb. He got skinned by Nani once but Nani has been one of the best players in the Premier League this year.

You big tit.

I'm happy you're ITK but not everyone on here is, so please can I beseech those of ye who are not ITK, PLEASE NO PMs.!!!

Half the "pundits" don't know the rules either.

Ok, let's get this thread back on topic then... It seems, and no doubt he will correct me if I am wrong, that what Dubai Phil wants to debate is people's response to the question: "Would you feel comfortable being served drinks by a person who was born a man but has chosen to live as a woman?". Er, yeah. How about those of you who would answer "no" come and explain why not? Once we've done that the rest of us will be better placed to decide whether you are irrationally bigoted or whether you make a sensible case.
