I can accept what you are saying, but I would have expected a bit more urgency to our play and not such a dearth of chance-making. I was at the Besiktas game and we had a devastating 20-25mins after they scored. And that was a friendly. Against a team that is looking for European honours. We also made Schalke sweat in the first half. Where has that all gone now the real games have started ? I personally think the squad is unbalanced or needs a significant gelling time, or both.

Nope, I've explained how I use it. Now go and get your currant buns out of the oven.

I thought you wanted "A serious transfer window review thread.........."

Billy Sharp. Seems the whole board here think he should f**k off 'cos hes crap and he doesnt deserve to be paid the rate the club fairly offered him.

Is that all you got ?

I occasionally refer to the "ÜberFan". This is a fan that comes on here and feels empowered to either : 1. Judge how others support the team, and find them lacking/wanting/inferior to their own self-satisifed conduct. 2. Actively tells others how they should support the team. I also have on much more seldom occasion, refered to "**** swinging". This is when someone judges to be better than another poster on an issue of absolute trivia, such as attendance record, ITKness, etc. The idea is that it is as pathetic, irrelevant, childish and uninteresting as swinging your knob about and claiming it to be the biggest. I dont recall combining the two metaphors.

So in other words, the best way to lose his England squad place. His best bet is to keep delivering for us. Anyway, once some injuries clear up, Rickie will be out; its simply bowing to the inevitable. I notice this morning the guardian is saying England have big striker problems with Rooneys injury, a couple sitting out training, and Lambert being "too raw" (aka doesnt play for a top 6 team)

"Nearly one in 5" ??? F**king hell. In my day too, it was an utter disgrace to be suspended or expelled. Nowadays, it seems to be a badge of honour (though I suspect the threshold is lower now, too..)

Exactly what I felt about the OP.

A "solid" start that's cost over 30m.

Un-sodding-believable. This site has hit a new low. Both Glasgow and I are discussing the football; just because you dont like what we are saying.

The Norwich game ? How can a team spend so much money and play so bad ???

Lol at the crown court behaviour when someone says something negative, yet the Clappies can say what they like....

You what ??? When did he let us down ? He didnt score against Wigan in 20mins. Osvaldo hasnt scored in 135 minutes so far.

Erm, no. Not if it is relevant to the thread discussion. This site is a piece of work sometimes. It seems a lot of you just want everybody to repeat the same opinion, only in the individuals words. Some of you seem to have a problem with the concept of debate, differing opinions, flow of discussion, etc. That is really strange.......... So, taking this thread for example, rather than a "serious transfer window review", it should be "give your reasons why this window was f**king great and deserves an 'A'". And we already have a thread saying "this was the best EVER window" (note the statement of fact, again discussion is not invited). Have a word with yourselves, chaps.

He was entitled to more of a chance with us, the team he helped into the PL, than a second-half sub appearance against Wigan. His chance was sacrificed to justify the signing of Mayuka.

120 or 118 ? Its the same engine, with different engine management. But it makes a huge difference. The 120 conifg is brilliant in terms of performance and consumption rate, the 118 is underwhelming.

Agreed. If this is true, thats appaling. Not only can they not ply their trade and put themselves in the shop window, they are not even being allowed to keep themselves fit and sharp in order to keep their ability to ply their trade. Preposterous (if true)

Here's a left-field suggestion. You dont get uppity about certain individuals expressing their feelings about the team and their performances, and I wont get uppity about you telling us how we should support or follow the team ? That OK with you ?

And he did that admirably. I fail to see the sense to not even give him his (still open) squad number...just in case...especially as we have limited striking options and we are paying him.

Our lack of pace should have been addressed.

So anyone not gushing is insane. No discussion of risk, doubts, etc allowed. Brilliant.

Quit your foul whining, and grow up.

What a nasty, cynical comment. Screw the fact that he had just lost a baby and probably needed a clean break, new scenery and a new challenge. But WTF, if allows you to act like a ManYoo or Liverpool pig, go fill 'em.
