This thread has made it pretty clear what those words would be . I'm against the drummer personally, but to be fair to the lad(s) they can get a chant going now and again. Mindless or not, at least everyone can get involved - I've been to a few away games where I didn't have a Scooby what the song was......but that's a different story I suppose, and links back to the fact that beyond a few songs our crowd is very repetitive at home (so I've just shot down my own argument then - good going ER ). It definately should be at the top of BRISA's list of things to do.

Shocking isn't it! Hopefully that UEFA/FA ruling will come through about a certain percentage of your squad/starting 11 having to be from the country you play in.

That pic should come with a warning!

Well it was said tongue in cheek in reply to your suggestion that all Liverpool need is a brand new attack

I'd say we're one world class winger and striker away from challenging for the top two places

Anyone else notice the excellent editing of Lawro's comments on MOTD?

The Wrexham fans are understandably delighted from what I've read, though calls to sign him up are a little premature

It was pleased to see Cisse go and sit with Smith after all the United players on the pitch turned away in disgust. He's been through it obviously, so that would have helped Smith I'm sure. Either way his compassion for a fellow professional was heartwarming. It's a shockingly bad injury that I called the first time I saw it (just happened to walk into the room when it happened - I've no idea what Lawro was talking about). It's a genuine career threatening and, whatever your opinion of Smith maybe, nobody deserves such a horrific injury. It's only a game after all. I wish him all the best

Then he gets sacked an awful lot, using your analogy

He's a confident lad isn't he!

In fairness to the lad he's not even had a sniff this season. Granted he's a DM specialist, but he's exceptional in the role. There have been times this season where I've been begging Hughes to shut up shop and put the Axe in front of the back four. He's failed to do it and I can understand his frustration.

Is that legal?

Hughes seems to like him, and he only has to be a decent squad player to stick around under Williams' new plan. This loan move is purely for experience, or our academy truely does blow.

Because the new manager didn't take a fancy to him? Football's about a lot more than just talent, internal politics has a lot to do with it too. Derbyshire was a new bloke the old manager had brought in and the new gaffer either didn't like his style of play, or wanted to make a statement. He scored a hattrick on his debut for Plymouth reserves, and a brace on his debut for Wrexham - there's little more the lad can do to make a good first impression.

A Shearer testimonial in his final season? Yeah, 2,000 would be beyond us

Well he's not getting a game here, so I suppose Hughes will consider it if they agree to pay a good proportion of his wages and allow a clause for his return if we need him.

The journo who came up with that must be a legend in media circles

Kuqi knows, he just struggles to put it there very often. He has scored 6 times this season though, unless I'm mistaken.

Exactly, playing it against Celtic makes it a nothing game.

Whatever your opinions on the recent game, or the season as a whole, one thing is certain - Fortress Ewood is back!

Hopefully this new contract results in a pay cut, he must be on a few bob under the circumstances he signed for us. I'm behind this move, assuming he's eventually going to be phased out as a squad player by an academy player/new signing.

Todd's 5'10" at best. Nelsen looks over 6', but it's hard to tell without physically standing next to him. Both are physically well build players, however, so that excuse by Mr Keeley doesn't wash with me. They're not going to be knocked off the ball by Campbell or Beattie, but what they failed to do was time their jumps and display basic communication skills between themselves and Friedel (the West Brom goal especially highlights this, though the entire Everton game is a pretty good example of how not to defend).

It's not tough to imagine really. He played wingback at Feyenoord and impressed in a highly technical league. You can understand why if you take a look at Burt - to sum it up he's an excellent athlete who has been well coached on the technical side of the game. His ball skills can be exemplerary, especially his close control, and his defending is effective and efficient (any time he has been around the right back spot he has more than done his job). In the role of a wing back, whereby he has the job of defending the opposition's left flank, and provide overlapping runs to whip in a cross, I'm positive he'd shine. If you remember he was an absolute machine before Deano and Souness' school of coaching got ahold of him, clearly that was a result of flying up and down Feyenoord's right flank all season. When you factor in his relative youth (23 at the time we signed him was he?) then you've got a highly rated player. Now the problem is when you place him on the right of midfield and ask him to do the job of a winger. Whilst being excellently coached in the technical side of the game, mentally he is lacking as a footballer. Often he seems confused as to what to do with the ball, resulting in his delay and the breakdown of the attack, or at least the disruption of its flow - those passes back inside must be spirit breaking for his team mates I'm sure. He is also a confidence player, who can be exceptional if he believes in himself. There are games during his time here when he has beaten the fullback early on in the contest and had a terrific game as a result. If he doesn't feel he has the pace or skill to get past said defender he tends to dissapear in games. What I fail to comprehend is his lack of confidence, especially as (I assume) the coaching staff builds this up prior to kick off. He has all the talent in the world, but lacks the confidence and the footballing nouse to adapt and be successful if plan A fails. Thus endeth the lesson

Been saying that for a while now, he's simply not that good anymore. I resign myself to conceding one if they get a free kick anywhere near our box. He was legitimately beaten four times against Everton, of which he'd have saved at least two a few years ago. Having said that there are few quality keepers floating around - we'd have to spend decent money to find an upgrade. Todd has been shakey of late and Gray was never a good defender to start with. Decent, yes, but barely passable for the Prem - it's his ability going forward that gets him in the team over Matteo. Another you might want to add to your list is Nelsen - he's been pretty woeful recently. I'd have put money on him being able to handle Beattie before the Everton game, especially as their only tactic was to hoof it up to the big lump. Clearly I was wrong Probably because he is a forward, contrary to popular belief. How he got benched for Pongolle tonight is beyond me. He offers a physical presence that the rest of our forwards lack, and a work ethic that is second to none. Talent wise, well he's not going to create any for himself or score any he shouldn't, but he's a decent option for a last ten minute burst. You'd obviously love to have somebody with his size and work ethic, but with the ability to finish and trap the ball - of course those cost several million pounds He's looked better than Pedersen of late, certainly in open play. Hopefully there's a forward, a leftback and a creative midfielder hidden away in the academy set up just waiting to break through

Sergio Peter is a bit quality ain't he. Finally an academy player breaking through.
