anyone reckon owen and martins could play together with dyer roaming around in a free role? it's a three-pronged attacks go it's a bit short arsed but there's plenty of pace about it

i'm supposed to read every paper as part of my job but i usually lean towards the guardian, observer, ft, sunday times, the indy and the sun

not looking good is it? seems about our average this season

what a piece of shit article

i rate emre but his end product isn't good enough. maybe playing alongside butt instead of parker will get the best out of him.

we should throw all the kids in and save our senior players for reading, a must win game.

absolutely. he'd be an england regular if he wasn't such a sicknote.

the dragon house is my fave although mangos is probably best for dim sum...

at least we put up a bit of fight after the no show in the first three days. fletcher's got some big decisions to make. jones is in the side to make runs. he failed on that score yet again. giles doen't take enough wickets. harmeson is in the worst form of his life. our problem in the field seems to be bowling accuracy - only flintoff has got his line and length right so far. we should have taken john lewis along imo. he can put it on the money - he would have lapped up these ozzie pitches. not sure if i fancy mamood or plunkett...

he's surprised me with how good his touch is. he's slow as shite but he's actually not a bad player with his back to goal. just to reiterate what others have said: not good enough in the long term but you can't fault his work-rate and commitment - he might even have earned himself another year on his contract. howay le sib

...his finishing isn't the greatest either tbh

he's got the pace but his movement isn't good enough from what i've seen so far.

fuck off. surely even we're not that stupid. that'll be even worse than the £7m on carl cort, the £9.5 on luque or the £8.5 on viana.

whenever dyer plays i get flashbacks to the way we used to play under sir bobby. we've sorely missed his movement, pace and energy. we're such a better side with dyer fit.

i can't understand why they didn't enforce the follow on like. they could have had it wrapped up by tea today...

bizarre

no offence to any of the board's fatties like. people who are fat and content with it are fair game - it's just unfortunate that the rest of us have to look at them. it's the fat people who act like their predicament is a disability that 'happened' two them that really boil my piss. put down the pie and chips fattie!

fat lazy fucks! I know it takes a little bit of self awareness of your body, your habits and you intake of food, but you've hypnotised yourselves into a slothful, downward spiral. you're a fat fuck and you don't have a disability. scale back on the processed junk food and do something active! all the genetic/hormonal/metabolic arguments are bullshit - thyroid glands my arse.

looks like my predictions were spot on

can't see him working well with either owen or martins, plus £10m is far too much.
