but with Giroud that'd be nearer 80/20, sort of player you just can't be too careful with, he knows it and plays upon it, jeez I watched him for years at Montpellier..he's not changed.

He'd have then gone down and they'd probably have been given a penalty. Giroud is a cheating, sly bastard always knows when to give a little shove to put his direct opponent off balance to gain an advantage, also fakes a good penalty.

there was actually, Morgan tackles far better than Corky, 'bout the same on interceptions though.

rubbish, Maya played pretty well and his distribution was Ok.

Can't see why that would be, they've just signed an 8ft striker on loan from Monaco, they've got all the strikers they need.

Nutter maybe but that is pretty agile for a bloke his size. Anyway great game, Canal+ switched it to the main game at half time so that was a bonus for me in particular,stream was good though, most Canal+ sourced stream usually are. French commentators raving about our CM again, said everything comes down to them, stop the opposition playing and set the tempo for our play.

And is obviously first choice RB for the time being.

We have a well known poster from Leigh I think, perhaps he'll let us know on that one in due course.

Which is as I said at the time more of a wording default in the hastily knocked up statement than anything to really concern oneself about.

Home debut in front of a sell-out crowd, couldn't ask for more, I think that with Gallagher and JRod both running at them the Arse might be in for a shock, hope we can capitalise early before they adjust.

Was never going to be anywhere near the first team again. We have the 2 youngsters who although they aren't anywhere near PL standard are far nearer the first team than Martin will ever be. He isn't very good which is probably why he only ever played 20 or so league games for us in the 3 or 4 years he was with the squad full time. Just a stand in for the main men, Jaidi and Fonte in L1 and then Fonte and Jos in the Championship.

was never going to be good enough for anything above League 1, too many technical weaknesses, got found out at Palace. He was probably OK with a really good CB like José alongside him and far better than average players in front of the defence. What many don't seem to realise is that the sides we put out in L1 were probably amongst the best ever seen in that division and many a below average player could pass for adequate amongst those playing at a level far below theirs.

About PSG up to a certain point yes.

Well we know that you're Rickie's number 1 fan so we can appreciate that would be your view. Lambert was "international class" at the age of 31, we'll see how many caps Gallagher has at 31, mind you it's only Scotland for the time being, could possibly switch at some stage I suppose.

I think that the problem for some may be that a new young buck at CF might just show up Lambert to be the fading force that he is. They do like to hang on to their folk heroes . It was only Yeovil on saturday last but I saw a young bloke with good control and a bit of pace who his team mates didn't seem to mind supplying on the deck and not punting the ball in the air towards.

how can you possibly know that already ?

Excellent news if exact then, might be just what we need to give Arsenal's CBs a bit of a run around. Might even cause Koscielny to get a couple of yellows or a straight red, doesn't seem to like big blokes who run at him on occasions.

Still Barnard looks to be out of contract this summer anyway,3 year deal in summer 2011 can't see that we'll have prolonged that would have been a reward for promotion I suppose, so in fact we've loaned him out now and will probably just have to take him back onto the payroll for part of May and the month of June then, plus of course the handsome subsidies that we'll be giving Southend.. Might save about 60K on the whole deal, these sums are peanuts when you consider that 1 more cup game will now probably bring us in about half a million £.

Jeez how much contract can Barnard possibly have left with us then ?

the "deadwood" we've offloaded will have cost as just as much as if we'd paid them until June anyway, with the exception of Sharp perhaps, in his case we'll probably be subsidising over 50% of his salary. We've simply paid off Martin and Barnard as likely as not. Something Cortese seemed to refuse to do. I noticed Gazza wasn't apparent in the training gallery today, is that because he's injured or have we finally accepted that he needs to play at his actual level a bit for him to hope to ever improve?

Why ? We don't want him because he's not good enough, let him go wherever he can get a contract. He's had a couple of chances elsewhere and not proven himself, might not get anything much better than Pompey.

translating for Dani at West Ham I expect.

If he's anything like Forren we'll all feel relieved that he's not signing for us.

Well apparently he was pretty shîte at Torrey Pines last week so you'd better find a lower class of scrubber for him as he's obviously on the downward slopes.

Brilliant reply, now that's a good journalist. However all petrol engines are now injection and don't have carburettors, unless it's a very old model of course, what pre-1995 or so.
