Legod Third Coming

You're right, Giresse maybe - Tigana had a bit more pace about him! Not that I mind Morgan having no pace - as a certain lardy midfield/striker we had proved, pace is over-rated if you have no idea what to do with the round white thing... Jesper Gronkear springs to mind!

Frank Arnesson at Chelsea... now since he's come in and they fired Mourinho what have they won exactly?? Oh yeah the exact square root of feck all... And watch Jose dump them out of the cup with any fecking luck as well!

No word of a lie he reminds me of Platini.

Likes to get forward doesn't he!!!!

That's the standard we've reached... Eventually we had to be bad enough to start winning games. And here we are, League One - the cream of European football... thick and full of clots...

Right, what about the long balls that resulted in goals today...

That's good enough for me - 6-1!!

I like the way Puncheon swaps sides with Adam and loves to cut in and take players on, but Morgan does the dirty job really well, breaking up play and distributing the ball really well. Again a couple of sublime cross field balls.

Was that Barnard goal off-side, yes or no? I thought he was on when Rickie hit it.

I know I could be making this up but I'm not, predicted Leeds 1 Huddersfield 1 and other games have gone in our favour that were not predicted (Swindon Draw, Colchester Defeat). Anyway, we're on track nicely to finish 6th according to my predictions - I even had this one down as 4-1... still can't get everything right!!!

We need him and Hammond to work that midfield. When they play together we win, simple.

Still wouldn't put it past a Chairman of a football club!!!

Brendan Rogers??!!!! How are Reading doing since they fired him, oh yeah much better... some decisions I find totally bonkers! I am not a fan of Ince, but MK Dons really? He has done wonders with them.

Come the end of the season we will win a play-off final. They will be relegated and then given -30 so the minute this season is over, we're above them in my book

Agreed, I prefer a James cross to an Antonio long throw to be a bit more realistic!

Agreed. Although I thought McCann was one of those players we bought and then just never gave him a proper run at left wing - we kept picking crop circles there!! Now answer me this, if WGS was a good manager, how many goals did we score from a Rory Delap throw in...!!!!

Didn't he buy our most expensive ever players... Rory for £4m, Delgado for £3.5m.... WGS was in his third season when he won 13 league games... why don't we give AP a full season and see how he compares?

Fair enough...

Er for the hard of reading the internet we have THE THIRD BEST DEFENCE IN THE LEAGUE...

Er check your stats mate... we are not 3rd worst on goals against. LOL!!!!!

But better than WGS, was he poor in your view? Mine too.

Pardew is not a defensive manager per se. 4-5-1 resulted in us beating teams 4-1 and 3-1. I would go back to 4-5-1 this afternoon in a heartbeat. The decision to replace Antonio with Wotton was based on the fact we had zero midfield control on Tuesday, and not for any other reason. It didn't work but Antonio was as effective as a chocolate condom until he came off... We are the 6th highest scorers now (down 1 from last week), top of the league on last five home game form and 7th on overall form last 8 games - pretty good considering 7 of those were AWAY from home. I do like to keep reminding people of the occasional fact. I know most prefer the Alice in Wonderland that this site has become, but the odd bit of accurate information can always liven the debate so the naysayers can make something up to disagree with it...

If they survive next year, they will have a -30, ergo we will be above them from June 1st 2010.

Funnily enough, I bought one at Wycombe. It was pretty good I thought. Anyone who wants it can have it, if there are collectors out there! Feel free to pm and I'll send it on.
