We always do better against the quality teams. Its a complacency thing. I expect us to cruise through WC qualification

"Why do the media always call us thuggish, I just can't understand it" Next breath... "I think we should sign Joey Barton, quality player"

Your extreme, small minded views are no longer tolerated. I have waited a long time for this day

I like drugs (only the good ones though)

Xbox 360 is looking great over the next few weeks: Pro Evo 2008 Half Life: The Orange Box (inc Team Fortress 2) Halo 3 Call of Duty 4 All definate purchases for me! In the meantime I will be buying a Wii (on Saturday) with Resident Wii-vil 4 and Zelda Brilliant!

The Daily Mirror is reporting that we are going to make a bid for Bellamy

£8m, yes that would be brilliant. Now where will we find somebody who can get 2nd top scorer in the Premiership for that price and will come here? Pigs might fly I suppose

Imagine if Benni read half the comments on here. He is hardly going to decide to stay is he. I pray he doesn't leave, he is irreplaceable. If he stays and we make some top quality additions, who knows where we could finish.

You have hit the nail on the head. Sparky knows better than you

I've been blessed, admits McCarthy Benni bigging up his team mates. I think he is a brilliant character and we need him to stay this club. Although after what happened with Bellamy I am almost half expecting him to leave

He scores nearly everytime he plays. I actually expect him to score When was the last time we had a player like that.

He's been on loan. I think its brilliant that Hughes worst signing is a loan signing that has scored 8 goals. He hasn't cost us anything.

Exactly what I have been saying, his laziness allows him to stay sharp and gives defenders a false sense of security.

Get rid! Lazy sod

I remember, until the League Cup final, a lot of people were getting on Andy Cole's back calling him lazy, and wasteful

He did very well indeed for our goal on Saturday.

That's bang on that post. I get frustrated supporting football sometimes and when people criticise Benni it makes me feel very sad. "He would have scored 25 goals by now" How do you know this? if he is knackering himself out instead of playing his own game (which he has had for his whole career) he might not get any goals. His "laziness" creates space for other players. Just ask Derbyshire

Maybe I should replace him. Im rubbish and I won't score any goals, but at least I would have the right attitude.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't actually believe the Brown handball should have been given, but neither should the Keane penalty yesterday, but it was.

That's exactly what I was thinking (Saha) I don't think Man Utd will come in for him though, and I can't imagine we would put another release clause in for our best striker. I wonder if Hughes could get the best out of Smith. I always want to see him play upfront to see if he can recapture his best form.

Also maybe, because he doesn't bust a gut all the time, when a chance presents itself he is more capable of taking it, because he isn't knackered. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I assume it makes them feel better about their little pot bellies

That's what Rio was talking about by saying Premiership footballers have made sacrifices. They knew that if they didn't "make it", they would probably end up in a dead end job on very little money.
