Can't see the option for 'chain'?

I thought O'Grady was supposed to be decent in the air? Not sure where I read that though. If you're right then we definitely need to sign a 'big man in the box' type forward as an option in the squad.

And some width

Be interesting to see what his next job is. Can't see that his CV is good enough for a Premier League job. Admittedly we reached the playoffs on a budget that should have seen us finish midtable, but he inherited a strong squad from Poyet, and he's only been in England a year. Maybe one of the...

We're 9th - which is probably a fair reflection of our budget. Once you take account of the injuries we've had I think Oscar's record so far should be considered a success. Of course, if you put results aside, I think you can make legitimate complaints about the style of football Oscar seems to...

I noticed the same thing where I was sat and it f****d me right off. Dave and Bruno linking up on that side looked our best chance to create something yesterday so I thought it was a pretty reasonable decision.

He has been crap this season, but there's a load of shite being talked on here. Two points to be clear on when we're criticising Spanish Dave: 1. He was a key player in our excellent form over the last quarter of last season. Clearly it's not that he's "not good enough". He seems to be a...

I sat in the QPR end. Does that count? Andrews and Upson were excellent. JFC, Conway and Barnes lots of effort but little real effect on the game. The rest somewhere in between.

500k seems a bit low, more like a million I'd have thought. He's still 23, should get better over the next few seasons. Not to mention that at this point we probably won't have time to replace him.

The chance of it happening depends on what deal the European leagues can make with their TV rights holders and sponsors. Obviously a league season with 6 weeks running in parallel with a World Cup (and no-one is watching) is worth much less to the sponsors and TV companies. Can they reach a...

Beat me to it!

That only leaves Ankergren then. Any word on his contract?

I'd say 4 more points will be enough for us now, but they'd probably want to target 5 more as their goal difference is a bit weaker.

Agreed. Bennett is by far the most consistent of the 4. I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Fair point - I'll rephrase: He ensured that anyone not acquainted with him already was able to form a swift and accurate opinion of his character.

Anyone hear him on Radio 4 this morning talking about it? He made himself sound a right humourless prick, reacted badly after the other guy they got on politely implied it was self-indulgent shite. It really brightened up my morning.

TBF the testicles post was pretty funny.

Right: Friends, an middle aged guy and his Dad who must be near 90 and is a fantastic old gent who deserves much respect just for getting there every week In front: Old guys. Not plastics but don't sing. Left: Some pillock who thinks he's a comedian. Shouts 'hilarious' things and makes inane...

Anyone planning on watching the game tomorrow in the pub in London? Know of anywhere that's likely to be showing it? Suggestions appreciated.

I'm voting for Paddick. Tired of the Boris/Ken circus. Don't see anything more than cynical, populist tubthumping in either of their policies and don't believe either of them has the tiniest shred of integrity.
