Im not anti JWP but apart from some superb free kicks does he make many telling defence splitting passes, does he score from open play. Yes he very good at breaking up the play and looking tidy. So if we sold him Im not 100% sure that as long as we spent the money well it would be a bad thing. I also feel that Ryan is lacking and whilst important at the moment I think he has had his day.

Crikey that is a surprise. I never picked that, but you are very argumentative and have to have the last word lol .

He made a great save with his feet at Wolves but I think he hardly been stretched in any of the other games you mention. As for at Celtic I dont think we can use that as a good barometer. I dont think they have come to us and wanted to buy him

I understanding your frustration of the sidewards passing etc but apparently this is what is required to get space and us to then make a pass when the gaps appear. I can imagine how poor the atmosphere will be when the fans are let in as they still do not understand how Ralph system works/doesnt work!!

The easy get out with fans is always hat they dont care or dont want to play for the shirt. Im sure if we looked back less than a year there will be many posts saying Vest should never wear the shirt again. You can do the same for many of the current team. Even Danny was questioned for a period. Ive have seen this so many times with players. Hence your he is NOTRedmond shows how narrow minded fans are. Redmond did plenty yesterday and created a few chances, one for Adams and 1 for Armstrong in the 2nd half that on a better day may have created a goal. You want him dropped for a lad who I have yet to see in his fleeting performances a great deal yet. That could change quickly with some good performances but at present he should only be brought on for sub appearances not the pressure of starting. If McCarthy worries you can you not recall the times Forster a man from the land of the giants who cannot come and claim high ball. The time when we were beating Utd and a 40 yard long ball to the edge of his 6 yard box and he stood transfixed and let Van Persie tap in or the woeful free kick he let in the League cup final!!! I really want him to get his form back but at the same time I dont want to trash McCarthy.

Vest hardly covered himself in glory, Redmond created more than anyone yesterday and Tella did one thing at Wolves and so you believe hes a shoe in. As for Forster he has become all of a sudden a fantastic keeper. People have short memories

What annoys also is how thick footballers are, we are in the last minute of injury time and we spent 20seconds dallying to take a throw

Well he set up Adams with a decent chance

Wolves do what we do in reverse, wander around in the first half but up their energy in the 2 nd half. I think we need to should be less intense in the first half and keep energy for the 2nd half. I also wonder if Bertrand it is time to find Ryan’s replacement, I wonder what his stats are for setting up chances as he does get quite a lot of opportunities to get crosses in but they rarely find their man

Incredible. I heard it on the radio and couldnt believe it. The city was buzzing, it as though we'd won the league. Looking back now it was a magnificent feat by Lawrie Mac

Careful what we wish for. If Gao was responsible for Martin Semmens etc he cant be that bad

I mentioned for us to get Toney 2 years ago when he was at Peterborough. Another who looks good is the Reading forward big strong and skillful. Scores a decent amount of goals as well

isnt that the returning trucks from deliveries from Europe? Iam only in a small niche market but I have seen major reduction in small companies exporting to Europe

Can I also add that trying to move around this site is pathetic and very frustrating. Trying to go from this topic to the Lounge is impossible. I thought it had been sorted but sadly not. I suspect many are drifting off as they also feel the same frustration

The problem is that we dont know what the managers orders are to him. It could be also a person who really is a confidence player is finding getting slaughtered by his own fans doesnt help him to take any risks,

a sobering thought is that this squad is going to be the nucleus next season and i doubt it will get many more bodies to strengthen! The kids coming through hardly inspire and so a rocky road ahead.

V Leeds Utd circa 1968 lost 3-1

bomb about to go off and the counter is at one when the hero has pulled the correct wire out when he had a choice of 2

It doesn't seem to e getting much reporting about but 3 small family companies who I deal with have closed or just stopped taking bits to Europe due to the enormous amount of paperwork and the large costs. It is difficult finding people who are doing consolidated loads to Europe for my business

Shame for you Mack that Mike Dean and Lee Mason weren't officiating that night at Fratton Park , you'd still have lost 4-0 but Dean would have kept it going in the forlorn hope you would get near our goal to give a penalty

He's great friends with Mark Hughes and has never forgiven us for sacking him

Imagine getting to a Cup Final against Man Utd and Mike Dean and Lee Mason were the officials

Id prefer Gao

If you listen to Totalsaints podcast (if you dont you are missing a good thing) latest episode it was interesting to hear Simon Peach saying that when Dean upheld the penalty and gave the red card all the journos roared with laughter, as they were expecting the decision to be overturned. He's never heard such an incident before.

As for Mike Dean he is a complete prat but there is something I notice nobody has picked up on, he gave only 3 minutes injury time there should have been at least 5 or 6. Imagine that going on for another 3 or 4 minutes. So thanks for that crumb Mr Dean
