Wtf, Benni having to train alone? What about the rest of the clowns? Crazy! We all know Benni aint in the best of shape, but even if he weighed 500 pounds would he be better than Roberts.

Hi Guys Im still in search of last seasons black padded jacket. I cant seem to find this, and will be willing to pay 20 to 25 pounds for it. Its the one with the Crown logo at the back. Isgak

Well some of you, moans when Benni doesnt run around and doesnt work hard. Well, in Di Santo and Roberts we got 2 hard working strikers who offer no goal scoring threat. If Benni was on the end of those 2 Di Santo chances, we would have seen goals. Benni, Kalinic, Van Heerden and Hoiliett are all being frozen out by a stupid idiot. Benni would be a better option than Di Santo, Hoiliett would be better than Diouf, Van Heerden better than Andrews, and Kalinic deserves more of a regular start. We cannot afford to keep playing the likes of Andrews, Diouf, Grella and Di Santo. Like i said before, we cant just depend on a hardworking striker, if he cant score goals. Benni might be lazy, but how a player of his goal scoring ability finds himself on the bench, is beyond unbelievable.

Im so tired of this now. The players we want to see stay, wants to leave. And those we want to see leave, have no intention about leaving. If Sam sells Benni, then he better have a good replacement lined up or else ###### is going to hit the fan.

At the end of the day Gord, what yesterday showed was that playing 3 strikers would be a better option than the ineffective Diouf and MGP. The system worked like a treat, with Dunny and Bert in central midfield, and Roberts and Benni out wide and linking up with Di Santo. You could add Nzonzi in the midfield as well when we playing away, and then have Kalinic with Di Santo when we at home. In so doing when we away, we still have 2 strikers, but with Benni and Roberts in midfield if that makes any sense.

4-4-1-1 is like 4-4-2, except a midfielder or striker, sitting behind the other striker. What LeChuck is getting at, is that if we play an attacking game, then we can be more of a threat to the opposition. However, with Sam adopting these defensive long ball tactics its stifling the formation. Our midfield and defence are constantly under pressure, because the ball gets knocked up field and comes back in a flash. If we adopt a more attack minded approach, we basically running with 5 midfielders linking up with the striker. With the attacking 4-4-1-1 tactic, we still have the effect of a 4-4-2 formation.

Dunny behind Benni and Kalinic/ Di Santo, in a 4-4-2 formation. Both in the same team, Dunn the provider, 1 striker either Kalinic or Di Santo holding the ball up, and Benni to finish. Diouf down the right, Bert behind Dunny and Pedersen down the left.

David this is rubbish. The fact that he gets caught offside, shows that he makes the runs to get on the ball. One of the old school managers, cant get to his name now, said that there is nothing wrong with getting caught offside. There will come a chance, when the defence makes an error in judgement, and you in. He called it persistance with a bit of luck. His poor timing could be up to him, or it could just be the midfield not delivering the ball to him quick enough. At this point in time, we could do with a goal scorer, and not a lump like Roberts. How many goals has Benni scored in the premiership, compared to Roberts who has been longer in the English leagues. Anybody?

Robbo Jacobsen Givet Samba Chimbonda Emerton Nzonzi Diouf Dunn Benni Kalinic

To put the record straight here, both Benni and Elrio want to be part of the world cup squad in South Africa. Elrio has always been part of the squad, but due to Sam doing his best to overlook him with nonsense about him having to bulk up 1st. Benni is still SA's best striker, and will want to impress Carlos Alberto Parreira. People on here think Benni should be defending, when he has always roamed up front, which looks as if he is lazy. He is our best goal scorer, and better than Roberts

As dramatic as that sounds, i think il do the same. Benni to Pompey on loan, with Andrews, Roberts and Reid staying makes me sick. Wtf is going?

To be quite honest, i think Benitez has been too long at Liverpool. He has slowly turned them from top 4, to more like a mid table team. His tactics and team selections, have been horrible. Hicks and Gillet(sp) have got it wrong, by either being too stupid to sack him, or to greedy to pay him when he gets sacked. If Benitez goes, then Mancini or Rijkaard are options. Maybe Souness makes a return ;-)

RIP Sir Bobby. You will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family and friends

When you say video's, how many are there? Are they on dvd?

I have EA's World championship tennis on Wii and My Sims 3 on pc, that i dont know what to do with as i dont have a wii console lol. Its brand new and sealed.

No cricket releases anytime soon. This was confirmed by EA to us. There is the Ashes cricket game, but not sure if its EA thats releasing it. The same i think will happen with rugby, with no new game being released.

Still might hear that song Tom, they will just have to erase the champions of Europe bit hahaha

Benni, when given the proper service from midfield, will score the goals. Its unfortunate that we dont seem to have much of a midfield, but with 12 goals you have to think that if we had a better midfield how many more he would have scored. Why get rid of him, if we cant replace him with somebody of equal or better ability.

Drogba of all people should have shut his mouth. I love the way it turned out, and how many times in the league have referees looked the other way when a smaller team appeals for a penalty, against the big 4. Barca actually played football at the Nou Camp and at the Bridge. Yes they had 1 shot on target, but again Chelsea sat back and tried to counter, this on their home ground. I dont feel sorry for Chelsea, because how many teams have come unstuck against them through poor refereeing decisions. Barca will have Puyol, Henry and i think Marquez back. Abidal could still feature, if they appeal the red card with Marquez or Puyol slotting in at Right back. Barca will be much more fluent with Henry, Eto'o and Messi back together.

How Wenger is considered by some to be a failure is rather astonishing. I wonder how many of those youngsters, would get into any other team. I would say most, if not all of them. Wenger and Arsenal will see the benefits of keeping those youngsters together, and playing regular football will see them dominate again in the coming years. The advantage is that if the credit crunch continues to hit the big spenders, then Arsenal will be smiling because they dont need to buy big to be up there challenging.

You would have thought, with Benni having not played much under the Ince regime, that he would have been happy starting a game. I dont think Benni was unhappy about being substituted, but if he wants to leave because he didnt get his hattrick,then he must be an idiot.

i had a discussion with a mate of mine,who is a drummer.i wanted to know who the best drummer is?i reckon its Akira Jimbo he says Thomas Lang. what do you guys think?

Neill aint a rover anymore.so y stil discuss the little prick.im sure he is sitting at home,watching tv and looking at the log.and thinking what possesed him to leave rovers.what a prick.

That’s professional coaches for you…imo he was a good coach,however I doubted his managerial skills and overall player relations.He seemed to not be able to communicate in a way which gave the players the confidence to go out there and perform.Take Hughes,and he understands what the modern player goes through.Souness was still old school,where you either liked his methods or you didn’t.

i voted for Grooby Btw what is this warning thing below my name?lol am i being watched here,considering that ive been banished from the official? lol
