I don't think he is the new Maradona , but I suggest most people came on rubbishing you and Rory as it seemed that you were blinkered. He will like all players have good and bad games,

in your eyes DD. if you care to go back to the Yeovil game thread, i then said he was likely to be a good player for us. I may have missed games he was poor in, but when I have seen him play I have seen a consistent desire to do well.

We all make mistakes, I said that Shearer was over-rated, and not a good finisher when he left us.Lol To be fair, he missed loads of one on ones for us, but the moment he pulled on a Blackburn shirt he just grew

I didn't think he had poor performances. i just think for fans on here Rory did a great job highlighting the player, and the response has got the doubters looking at other parts of his game.

Not at the game, but i did read criticism of KD not coming for the cross for their goal. After watching the highlights i really can't see how he was expected to go for that one.

frees up some wages to get another in. I wonder how Wolves view it? They play him so he gets another game ban, and then send him back so they pay his wages for an extra game. It is laughable, the bare cheek of them

It could be called 'Escape to HMS Victory' Maradona could play Pele's part, Riquelme could be Bobby Moores, and that Jap keeper they had could play Sylvester Stallones part. What a sequel, they could have the plot that instead of trying to escape, they could be digging into prison to try and help HR Storrie and MM escape............ooooh I think AA and the PL plant may have already done that

I'm not so sure, he came to us to be interviewed. Whilst their PR said he didnt take the job offer up, he still went along. I believe they need the money and so would be dleighted to give him permission to leave.

It goes to show how thick some fans are. I was born in Southampton, i don't live there any more. Does he think I should now change clubs i support? !!!! To me any poor soul who supports our team is a Saint wherever they come from

don't worry IMO what you say is sound. The 3 clubs mentioned who have bids accepted would be the ones most likely to need him.

perhaps they will go for Eddie Howe. Sooner or later a club will take him, as he has done wonders with no funds at all. I'm sure he must be tired of having no money to spend and a constant weakening of his squad

why would anyone want Michael Brown in the PL? Lets hope Wolves sack McCarthy as getting rid of Browns wages would be open the gates for them to bring in 2-3 players on 10k a week

I only look at the menu i have never been in the restaurant . Of course a fine specimen like yourself has to beat the women away with a club and so must fall to those temptations. Iam told you are unfaithful everytime as you walk past a mirror

could she have been in a affair with a married man and wanted to tell the world, he panicked?

Cotterill seems to be ducking and diving to make space for a couple of other highly waged stars. Watch WHU and Spurs help them out (that is if Spurs have been paid their 1m for Bergovic) IMO HR and Spurs do not want to make any enemies at FP as he/they would want to keep them on board for certain appearances. Spurs are riding high and dont want past problems to derail them

the same goes for Lenny Henry everytime he pops up on an advert. IMO it is his skin colour that has given him work not his talent.

I was not over enthralled with his appointment and was starting to wonder after the first 20minutes against Huddersfield. He did something to turn the teams performance around and so Ihave given him some slack. I have a record of supporting the permanent management teams at the club and so it was odd for me not to be 100% behind NA. I gave him time and have warmed to him. Im not fully a NA fan and dont sing his name but feel the best I have for some time about the manager and the way the club is going.

I think most of our last managers struggled getting results away at teams like today. Perhaps where NA has been there and done it, it puts us in good stead

it's Hoddles fault

Im amazed if the server couldnt cope today.What will happen if we get to bigger games, and perhaps the CCC and beyond????? I was under the impression that we had a big unveiling of the site a few months back, and could cope with most things!!!!! Im confident that Baj and Steve will let us know what is going on.

the long contract for Lawrence has to be down to getting a better price for him.

every trick in the book. What integrity Cotterill had went straight out of the window. I dont particularily like him, but I always felt he was a man of his word. Seeing that today makes me realise that he is no better than the lot of them.Good job they lost, he will be out of another league game now.

I did say below par, not a bad game. His distribution was very poor and I expect better of him in that department.

a very good performance. Richardson the only player who was below par IMO. I thought their midfielder Harley was very good and would be delighted if we signed him. Guly was good again. The period in the second half when we created chance after chance was very entertaining. LB must have been a birt rusty as I believe he would have scored before he did had he been sharp. RL was unselfish and I would have loved him to have got a goal he deserved. AL really does need to improve his goalscoring ability if he wants to step up a grade or two. Overall very happy.

Its good to see that DD and Appy have the balls to say they might have got it wrong. Perhaps the posts on here made them look more at his performance and then saw more of his other play. As for LB, I hope his misses were down to rustiness. I would play Guly ahead of him even before yesterday.
