OTF

You do realise that most of them are me wanting Enrique to attack more to give us more options in a desperately weak attack? Not actually me saying that he is attacking? Do you also realise that that season was incredibly shite and our attack was incredibly weak so any semblance of a flea on a crumb of attack was something to cling to in a desperate hope that we'd somehow score enough goals to avoid relegation? Back in those days also I was singing the praises of Enrique at every chance because it was patently obvious how good a player he was. Not saying I was the only one, but there was plenty criticising him at the same time, yourself probably one of them. One thing those quotes do show is that you were a wanker then, and you're still a wanker now.

That's because he's already a permanent fixture of the first team squad having being on the bench for the last 5 or 6 games....... Not to open a can of worms but that's because there's nee fucker else who can play wide left in the squad. Dont disagree and I appreciate he may be a few years off getting a regular start (if good enough), but currently, when Jonas is having an off day, I see no harm in letting the lad be an impact sub as Ranger has been. Youth doesnt have to mean no good. I think as sure as eggs are eggs, Lua Lua will be the permanent left winger next season. I've seen him play for Brighton - if he is our permamnent LW then we will be in trouble Why do you say that? He has had rave reviews for them, they are desperate to sign him and he's scored some screamers apparently. Because unlike you he's actually seen him play. Scoring 'some screamers' does not suddenly make him a good footballer. Ryan Taylor's scored a fair few 'screamers' in his time.

This. Enrique barely got forward in his first season for us where he was inconsistently played by Allardyce. In his second season (though he missed a fair bit due to injury) he also rarely got forward. He always had the pace, strength and defensive ability but rarely used his pace to get forward. The season in the championship helped to encourage him getting forward and improved his ability to beat a man (he's one of the best we have at this, others in the side beat a man by retreating, spinning where-as Enrique shows a little bit of the ball then uses a touch and some pace to pull away towards goal). Not only do you look like a moron for creating this thread Christmas Tree, but you continue to drag yourself further down into full on retardation by trying to fall back on your own bullshit facts that anybody who watched us play knows are just that - bullshit. It's mildly entertaining for just how senseless you are, but this sort of shit won't be tolerated around here for long.

These sort of threads make this place look bad. Christmas Tree should have a ban on making new threads. They're pointless anyway because everyone knows that next week after Enrique has a blinder he'll create another thread with his brand new incisive opinion, then claim that anyone else who states the bleeding obvious is guilty of plagiarism.

Anyone?

Yeah unless we're in for anyone decent I agree. Last thing we'd want is for some past it bastard to come in, score a few flukey goals, have Pardew blow smoke up his arse and see the club turn around in the summer and offer a contract whilst saying they now don't need to look for strikers.

nee mention of Ferguson in there, yee must be heartbroken.

Ranger off the bench for sure. Lovenkrands could also have an impact off the bench late in the match. Nolan behind Best. The primary concern I have with that is that it's more than a little bit shite having a lone striker who can't head the ball.

They've got to be kidding. Surely not. Two steps forward, eight steps back.

Thinking about watching it now, whatever the fuck it is

I want to see the write ups of this game. I'm sure they all would have been just about written at half time... and heavily edited at full time.

That Tiote goal man. What a beauty. First time left footed volley from outside the box, swinging away from the keeper into the bottom corner. Goal of the season.

and that's in 4-4. Fucking unbelievable. Amazing stuff.

Best scored.... Scored twice... But only 1 counted.

Nolan... a yard away from scoring..

5 minutes stoppage time....

Astounding. Push for the win, but don't push too much.. 1 point is a miracle after the first 30 minutes.

Belter from tiote!!! 4-4

...corner

3-4

Second penalty.

Leon Best is possibly the worst header of the ball I've seen up front.

Ranger forces a save.

A minute later and Best has another, this one counts and it's 2-4.

Leon Best puts it in the back of the net.. from an onside position, but his reputation precedes him and it's given off-side
