i was watching the game bburn v west ham..and other then tugay and pedersen i thought everyone was poor..

mcarthy tries to many tricks when all he needs is a simple pass..

cruz works hard, you cant fault his work rate, but is he just a bigger version of dickov???(obviously he is better as in touch, control, playing as a team,) but he doesnt look like he will score plenty of goals...

emerton-i thought he was diabolical, lost possesion so many times, he needs to learn to just clear it without trying to play it out defence....

dunn-he tried, but he isnt a winger, wasnt in the game at all..

so many players had bad games, but yet none of them probably wont get slated..

pedersen was one of our better performers, but yet is used as a scape goat..

today brett emerton was shocking, cruz and mcarthy did nothing, mokoena was poor, but its only pedersen..

i thought he did well..in my opinion..

well done pedersen today, i thought it was a decent performance from him today..good corners, good control, good tracking back..all he is missing is a goal-and because he is known as a goalscoring winger i suppose until he scores a goal he will be called crap and everything else..

well when beckham gets his 100 caps i dont think he will be used again..

the only person standing in bentley's way is swp...lennon isnt much of a worry..

once beckham gets 100 caps i think its time he wasnt picked for england again..good player, but playing in a league one standard league wont help..he deserves 100 caps...swp and bentley waiting in the wings..

thats whats wrong with the england national team..too many players dont play for their clubs team but still get in england squad, crouch, bent, defoe, too many have only returned from injury and get in the england squad, and beckham doesnt have to play for more then a month and still gets in..

if england do qualify for euro 2008 i fear some of the england players have had their day..

darren bent called upto england squad.

i think that really proves how much trouble england have in the striking department-we have to look to a guy who cant even get in the spurs side..

thats 3 strikers now who arent even playing for their teams there bent, defoe and crouch, and alan smith who plays midfield for newcastle

according to the mirror, nelsen is expected to miss 4 games..home clashes with birmingham and reading, and away games to fulham and manchester united..he will be a huge blow, but other then man utd, the other teams are winnable..

i wouldnt swap either of our wingers for duff..

even if pedersen is inconsistent, hes still one of the best wingers in the premierleague..

before newcastle signed duff i heard we went back in for him, so basically he turned us down..

id like to see reid and dunn playing together, when reid is fit..dunn is starting to do a job like savage, reid is a box to box midfielder..

reid was wanted by man utd last summer, he didnt join, he didnt let it get to his head..

yes maybe everyone has ambitions to play for a top 4 club, but mcarthy has been completely disrespectful about all this, "its not like i owe them my life"..sorry but if he waited an extra year or so we could be breaking into the top 4..

the way he plays is similar to mcarthy, not just his colour..

nonda hasnt been good enough this season, hes now 4th in the pecking order, says it all really..

and yes im more of a fan to roberts then i am nonda..and looks whos proving it..nonda aint proving doubters wrong, roberts is..

Nonda in is prime was probably more deadly then Benni, I dont think most people realise how serious his injury was, yet they still bash Nonda. If most Rovers fan saw the injury Im sure they'd lay off the guy a bit more and be a bit more suportive.

his injury was nearly two years ago...altho its very bad, it was two years ago..

he simply isnt good enough, he's too much like benni mcarthy, mcarthy being the better of course..
