Oh what might have been.

I think a lot of you are blind to what he has done that is good. He falls into a category alongside players like Bentley, Savage, Todd, Zurab, Gray, Neill and Amoruso (to name but a few) who are picked on by the board from time to time. Just as my blind optimism may be over the top those of you who think he is useless have obviously either forgotten or couldn't see the times he has come on this season and looked one like one of the few players we had who could actually move the ball forward and run at a defence. If we can get decent money for him then I think it is right to sell him, but there is something there and we don't have a big squad or a lot of money so unless 2-3 million or more is being offered I don't see much point, and I can't see that happening.

No. I think he's looked very good at times this season and I still think that he could come up with the goods. I just don't think we'll get enough money for him to make it worth while given the size of squad we have anyway.

Can't wait, I'll be there for at least one or two of them. Don't really mind who we get, but I'm looking forward to us taking it seriously for once and let's see how far we can go.

To be fair SWP didn't even appeal for the penalty. As for the Lampard one I thought that was there best shout. The crespo one both players had hold of each her and it always happens in the box nowadays so you're unlikely to get them.

I would have been appealing, but none of them were dead certain. I admit that having had three you'd expect to get one, but I never thought to myself that they were robbed. They were all some that you get sometimes and don't others.

Close this thread.

All I can say about Neill is that he was class on Saturday and class again today. We can read into his comments all we like and he can have them taken out of context or whatever it is, but he's done the business and that is all I really want from him. Now if he could put his name to a new contract I'd be very happy.

When was Friedel relegated? He's played in a lower division but he was never in a relegated team.

Newcastle aren't in it anymore. It is just between Bolton and us.

This has nothing to do with Sven. I think his reaction is just about the same as all of ours. Without Rooney, a player who may well be the best in the world quite soon, and without Owen our frontline looks so weak you wouldn't believe it. Goalscorers win tournaments, without those two we don't have any.

Technically I don't think that there is one. However, fracture is often used when the damage done to the bone is a a thin break, something like a hairline fracture. I've found that when the media reports something as a break or a fracture the fracture tends to be less severe.

I thought he broke it last time, this time it is a fracture. I think.

Idiot.

We just kept control of the game very well.

A draw would suit me. Put Bolton quite far behind us and also means that Spurs could easily lose 4th spot. Perfect.

Well, just back, great atmosphere, well done to all who were there, didn't hear a thing from the Charlton fans for most of the game. We were in total control of the match.

Leaving now, hopefully see some there. C'mon Rovers.

Why does it devalue it? We're talking about what happens on the pitch, as long as the man can get them in a position to play the best they can who cares where he is from.

Just back from buying some beach balls for tomorrow, hope to see a few of you there.

Hopefully be bringing some beach balls

Really happy with this, best man getting the job.

Don't compare the two. Duffer could do just about it all.

It's in Paris so it's the perfect opportunity for me to see a final. May as well take advantage of it and good to pick a team to support so I'll go for the English side.
