Was at the game today, and he was one of our worst players. his crossing was dreadful, it seemed like he had lost a yard of pace. and the distribution of his passes were awful. i genuinely think he's gone, mentally he just did not look hungry enough and was not on the ball, and this reverberated round the whole team. hate to say it but he's gone in the summer, guaranteed.

It's always been about the money with levy, i'm so pleased on what he's done over the years, but not getting that striker in january proves to me that he is profit orientated.

Don't think he's going anywhere. I think he enjoys being the main man at the club and knows very few top teams will provide him the previlage. We need to start using him better though. Just cause he started scoring goals doesn't mean we have to totally decimate our teams shape for him. We are going nowhere if he plays this central role especially against teams that ge men behind the ball. These are games where his wide threat could be particularly lethal. This bale will bail us out strategy was always going to bite us in the ass. The reason ronaldo was always so dangerous when he played for united was because teams couldn't devote to many resources to stopping him because he played out wide and if you focused on him the central players would destroy you. Here it isn't quite like that.

I just think it was bad tactics. The only place he didn't play was on the left which is where we needed him for some decent width and first time crosses.

It's not guaranteed. I've made the point before about being so reliant on him, and what happens when he can't keep pulling the irons out of the fire, especially because the strikers have been so abject, and we started the season with only 2.

I was advised that other clubs also have similar players they greatly rely on - Messi at Barca, Ronaldo at Madrid. Well, we ain't no Barca nor Madrid, who've plenty of striking options, and one of 'em had Adebayor on loan and didn't make the mistake of signing him.

He didn't have a good game. He had a bad game. That is all, he isn't shit, or has suddenly lost appetite for the game, his desire to play for Spurs or indeed his left testicle. He had a poor game.

If you are quick, you will find your knee orbiting around the Moon ;)

I think fatigue is beginning to set in for a lot of the players. Tiredness is ok when your on a run, a bit of a shit Cnut to deal with when your in a rut.

Thought little tommy carroll looked good when he came on.

Eh? You make a post saying that you guarantee he is going...and then you totally agree with a post that says he will stay???

Wum? Split personality? Or should that be a C at the start of your name?

What? Seriously. What the fuck?

He was injured, he could barely run. Did you manage to miss this? A jog was just about do-able, but sprinting seemed beyond him. You'd have to question why AVB kept him on really, shows how much we rely on him I guess.

I mean seriously, Jesus fucking christ. If you aren't a WUM you obviously didn't pay attention to the game.
