Not that new any more, over 2 years...we had a chat this morning and shes now happy to go along with it but the dates dont tally so its more than likely "Casa Tito" for the duration

If you're on about Lampard and Gerrard then I'd suggest traditional English football,quite often played with "box to box" midfielders, is becoming pretty irrelelvent at the top level of European football as it has been at international level for decades. We, and the world it seems, love watching them but the game has moved on iyam. 4231 has only become common in the last couple of seasons in this country, but its been common on the continent for over a decade and if you've got two lads sitting in you dont need a Gerrard running around getting knackered trying to be all things to all men.

I ignored it because I had stated why I think it didnt quite work for him in that posistion last season, which you had ignored by jumping straight in with your question What does your question this morning mean?... I was asking where this theory comes from that he should play further back on the pitch comes from. Your question isnt the same, its a little difficult to understand, well for me anyway...

Wiki described him as a box to box defensive midfielder Hes not though, he'll end up trying to do too much on the pitch like Gerrard and Lampard if he's told to do play like that. Guus Hiddink said Lampard was always trying to do too much, and he also praised our performances against his Anzhi side last season. If we're playing 4231 hes not one of the 2, hes one of the 3 iyam. While we've got the current players and Pardew as manager thats how we'll go. Would you suggest that him and Cabaye swap around then? Not for me.

So let me get this right, he's better in a position you've never seen him in?... He mostly played on the right channel of a 3 man forward line last season, or in behind Cisse, depending on who else was available I haven't suggested that he did or should play on the wing. The width in a 433 or 4231 is, I've always thought, supposed to be supplied by an overlapping fullback. Viera and his ilk had defensive responsibilities that we don't know Sissoko possesses because hes not played there for us. Am not suggesting he couldn't do it very well, but why not try to make the most of his natural gifts? All he needs is support....

Well he doesnt look or play like them no. But its essentially the same job hes there to do if last season is anything to go by, get past his marker and get the ball into the central strker/a supporting runner.

Its not form, its other players who are used to playing on the counter he needs. But we dont buy players to suit a system, we buy good players who are cheap, and only because theyre cheap. Then we expect someone as limited as Pardew to get the best out of them. Youve described 3 or 4 different types of player there which doesnt really help. For me he hasnt got a defensive bone in his body so comparing him with players willing to put a defensive shift in is pointless tbh. He doesnt have that side to his game iyam. Hes not a Viera or a Diaby. He's what we called and inside forward when I were a lad and now we call them attacking midfielders. I think Pardew got him right last season. Shame he ddint have the runners to break with him.

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter are married but dont live together and have seperate holidays. I know how old Tim feels. We both want to go to Croatia, one of us wants to spend a couple of days on 3 or 4 islands and spend some time in Mostar in Bosnia. The other wants to spend 10 nights on a package deal in a hotel built by fuckin communists in the 60s. Nowt booked, but we both finish work a week tomorrow and its really fuckin pissing me off.

What does he bring to the middle then?...please, I've asked this question 3 times and no ones given me a fuckin answer. Would he be a Davey Mac, a Gazza, a Brian Robson, a Frank Lampard, a Steven Gerrard, a Michael Carrick, a Glenn Hoddle, a Peter Reid or someone other fucker? Someone for fucks sakes tell me as I cant see the point of playing someone with his pace and power further back up the pitch. For me thats fuckin pointless. Answer please with evidence. If not, this "Sissoko is much better as a centre midfileder" is just bollocks, something fashionable to say on a football forum which nobody has even thought about or can actually back up. I posted a youtube clip of his time in France but it doesnt really help to show whether he'd be great or hopeless. Where does this come from??????????????????

Kurt Zouma is the best name for a footballer ever 19 year old centre half, obviously rated by Carr, which is a good enough recommendation for me. Chelsea want him too. Ho hum...

Bent, nailed on, Pards wants "some English", signing at half eight on 31st August. Some French children to keep Carr happy. A part time window cleaner from Gala Fairydean will be Kinnerar's contribution.

Charvski...Wasnt Charvski the lad who was positing about getting inside some sort of Triad's moll and was never heard from again?....

Am I missing something here or is this a bit pointless?... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23078741

patter merchant, would've had them pink books burnt as well if she'd turned up for our sunday team in them too...

A chronically misleading statement....if he wants to sell the club he'll be looking for that as an asking price, which is a very different thing.

Its howmans mini sub. The court order ran out last week

The bird with the specs Kelly McGillis?....never that nice in the first place tbh...

Actually, am changing my mind, Gail McKenna, nailed on

I was going by the swirl of long luscious dark brunette hair I'll have you know young man

Im going 80s page 3 legend/stunna Kathy Lloyd..

I've seen dirty dancing 3,782 times. All sat next to a woman. Bored to fuckin tears every time.

Jennifer Gray?...cant remember the other one..

Dunno but she'd still get it...it looks a bit like Kim Cattral with dark nhair now I come to think about it but thats probably embarrasingly wrong...

Shearer's got a case for having done well if Webb hadnt have chalked off Viduka's legitimate goal v Fulham. Suiffice to say, even with my reservations about the latter part of his time at NUFC, Shearer acheived far more to benefit NUFC as a fuckin ballboy than Kinnear acheived as manager.

this would suggest that he certainly played Charlie at leftback: http://www.nufc.com/html/2008-09html/2008-09-20west-ham-a.html
