a lot of over-priced english players in there. still can't believe we got £12m for milner like

not sure about that, but smith should definitely go before shola

Tom you are embarrassing yourself. yeah right, it's tom who's embarrassing himself. not the loser spuds fan that trolls opposing fans' forums

you have to feel sorry for anyone that comes from borough. what a truly horrible part of the world, a nothing town renowned for chemical plants, pollution and not much else. not only that but a football team so insignificant that not one of the nearby clubs consider them major local rival. it's no surprise really that boro fans resort to spending time on ourmessage board trying to wind us up given that they consider us their big rivls. it's more difficult to explain danny b's actions mind. what's his excuse?

what's going on in this thread?

the fact that we can go from bottom to 8th in two games shows how quickly things could go tits up again, it's that tight. this season is all about survival first and foremost

can't be that easy if you live in west sussex though can it?

good piece that

i don't see how we have much choice but to stick with him until the new owners come in. it's not like there's a queue of managers beatind down our door - hence why he got the job in the first place. and fair play, he's doing a canny job

yup. we're not out of the shit just yet. i think we need to know either way before the next window closes or it could still be a difficult season

They are quite limited if plan A doesn't work. Shit fans, shit side, shit club. MON's teams strengths are nornally to kick fuck out the opposition and play long ball football. They didn't even do that last night. Take Ashley Young away and they're a ridiculously mediocre side.

it's got to be before the window closes

let's not get too carried away or anything

Which wasn't bad at all tbf. i agree but shows you get sent off for that sort of thing these days. he should be keeping his nose clean not being petulant like that I know but that was a soft sending-off and so would this have been. Fair enough, he could have been sent off. Big deal though, storm in a tea cup. You just want him to play his natural game imo because if you shackle him, so to speak, he'd be a very ordinary player. shame he can't play his natural game without going in studs up or acting like a petulant kid. i have been very encouraged by his last couple of performances btw.

...and how there's not a lot between the rest either. a whole slew of sides could easily find themselves either fighting for europe or in sucked into a relegation battle. there's nowt in it

it didn't look like bottom of the league against top 4 material at all. they were dire. and goes to show how much of a gulf there still is between the top 4 and the rest.

barton could easily have been sent off like - for either raising his hands (just as bad as beckham's red card for flicking his leg out at simeone in 98), or for going in with his studs up.

last night was such a crucial result and performance. could be the turning point in our season. great to see a convincing win - when was the last time we had one of those? and now with two wins under our belt, the trip to fulham and the home game against wigan are looking more than winnable! two more wins ahead of chelsea and we'll be looking up the table instead of down for once. i was genuinely worried this season after all the off field shite but reckon we could have turned the corner after last night. and fair play joe fucking kinnear. he was no one's choice but he's got us lookign compact and playing some decent stuff. in fact we've looked in pretty much every game he's been in charge of. great night! only sour note of the night for me was barton - he obviously is the same old twat and hasn't changed at all. he must know refs are out to get him so why raise your hand, even for a silly flick on the nose? and why make a stamp challenge with your studs showing? he puts in a good performance but could have easily been sent off. shame.

fuck that - we've got super jfk

great to see him playing well again after all these years. we've missed someone that can hold the ball up a bit and win the odd flick on

i'd day that's a given

you never hear anyone say 'brill' these days; shame

fuck me, how thick is martins?

another massive game. if we can knick a win, it will give us vital confidence ahead of two winnable games before the chelsea match (where we may as well not bother turning up tbh). it's so tight at the bottom that we have to be winning the majority of our home games to give ourselves a chance. anyone know if micky owen is ready to start or will he be on the dame judy?
