    What's wrong with Lawro?!

    Considering his record...we're doomed, aren't we? Eek

    Is it creativity we lack?

    If you create more chances (even if you don't convert them much), ultimately the opposition has to spend more time defending or throw more bodies foward instead of constantly waiting for the break, opening themselves up further. With our current backline, we can only defend through attacking, so...

    Forget Premier League 2007-2008

    I didn't forget it (more's the pity), but we were THIS close in our Chelski match. I've blocked out the Carling match, pretty much most of the time.

    Forget Premier League 2007-2008

    The closest we got in recent years was the FA QF against Chelski last season. In our current state we won't survive an encounter with any of the Top 4 sides again in the domestic cups, so it's pretty much a chimera. That leaves the UEFA Cup, hopefully we'll get a decent run, if only to have more...

    Comolli-Is he doing an Inside Job on us?

    The Yellow Sub are doing a fair title chase and they need Pires and Senna. No way they're going to be sold mid-season.

    Sven Ready To Take Robbo And Berbatov

    I'll wait for Ramos to whip the defence into shape first before writing the obit on Robbo's WHL career. If possible.

    Team selection for Sunday?

    If Malbranque is playing on the right or in the centre in a 4-4-2, I really can't see him and Lennon in the same lineup. It would make us too lightweight and difficult to challenge for aerial balls.

    New stadium or expand WHL ?

    52k is enough to sell out...but we have to think of this from the long-term POV. As TV money continues to increase there will come a point where the Top 4 will try to negotiate their own TV deals. It would leave the Rest(tm) holding the short end of the stick. Maximizing stadium revenue would be...

    The DAVID GINOLA thread

    I guess that would explain the lustrous hair.

    Thank you Chris Hughton.

    Nobody can fault his years of service with us as a player. As for his coaching, he was around for so long, with so many managers that if there were any deficiencies in his abilities, the onus is solely on the club to identify them and take the appropriate action. I have to assume he's at least...

    Wigan Sack Hutchings.

    In retrospect, Paul Jewell saw the Second Season Syndrome was here to stay and bailed on the Good Ship Wigan. Parallels to Bolton, though Hutchings was just out of his depth, while Little Sam was out of his depth AND hated.

    some itk....well maybe!!!

    Arteta....Everton would be INSANE if they sold him. He's their entire creative spark, take him out and the club is very ordinary and heavily dependent on Cahill doing his thing. As for Arteta himself, we don't have CL footie and we don't have competitive wages, it's really not hard to work this...

    On This Day

    Great game, made even better to see Terry being sent off.

    City sign Afonso Alves

    If we're talking about his money, most of it is clean. That at least he can claim. His fatal error was selling his family's stake in Shin Corp to a foreign sovereign fund (Singapore's Temasek Holdings) and then avoiding taxes for the sale. That sparked off the mess that resulted in the coup.

    Top 4!

    I don't really see how anyone could seriously talk about a midtable side (which we are, we have to face facts) muscling into CL territory when the 4 clubs have such a stranglehold on that particular gravy train. Even Arse have bit the bullet and switched to a larger stadium while we're still...

    Sounds a lot like Berbatov wants out....

    28m? Not going to happen. If the club is stubborn thinks that's fair value and he continues to underperform, he'll be worth less than 20m when he moves on in the summer. If Levy persists in playing hardball he'll leave on a free. Levy's choice. Of course all this might be bollocks and he wants...

    Top 4!

    Crowing about "Top 4" is EXACTLY the kind of bullshit that got the club into such an unholy mess this season.

    *** MIDDLESBROUGH v SPURS *** Official Match Thread

    We didn't lose 2-1! Nice surprise. At least Bent looked lively.
