Well as I see it Alfie, I'm having a little bit of a discussion with carmine who's opinions I respect and you want to seem to come in from the side with a head butt.

If carmine tells me I have got something badly wrong and talking like a piss pot, I have no problem taking it on the chin.

So after 5 or 6 of my posts about Lamela you come out with

Well as I see it Alfie, I'm having a little bit of a discussion with carmine

Should have just said straight away ! and as carms rightly said

Alfies point the other day about not buying Lamela had we the beauty of hindsight seeing the rapid rise of Townsend is a point well

i was the first one to bring up the subject of buying Lamela.

Anyway i think you need to man up a bit or just put me on ignore

Where would the fun in that be Alfie

[YoungBrit]

And why did they let Caulker go?

All easy with hindsight maybe.... but there's a bit of a lack of joined up thinking creeping in?

when you probaly havn't even see him play many games not to mention any mistakes he made, plus he's been replaced by Chiriches so how is that "lack of joined up creeping in " ?

Do carry on having a pop and i will carry on knocking your digs back

Alfie, regarding Caulker I was surprised you let him go. I would like to say I have followed his career fairly closely due to him being a step brother of someone I went to school with. I don't remember any mistakes? Of course I haven't watched every minute he played but thought the club regarding him very highly and I was surprised you replaced him although I don't know much about the fella who you got in. Is he that much better?

Well YB, there was 3 instances that i can remember and iv'e got a bad memory

I think with young players we have to rely on the manager being judge and jury, they get paid a lot of money to make these decisions and are watching the players every day in training and probaly see things that we wouldn't even notice in a match.

Watch Caulker at 2.23 on this : Stopping like an oil tanker springs to mind.

Ha ha can't argue with that Alfie, that did look a struggle! And like Carms said, if he wanted first team football with Vertonghen rightly in front of him then its a good and the right move for all parties.

[alfieconn]

I think Clark Kent or what ever his name is should stick to his day job with the PFA, 3rd rate player and 3rd rate commentator, what the fark was he talking about half the time

[carmine]

I think its a fair bet we'll be buying a left back in january.

Naughton is simply not good enough, right or left imho.

Chiriches is going to be a very good player. Now he's getting game time he's really starting to settle in.

All in all, a sensible team selection and also highlighting real squad depth. I'll say it again though, if Friedal isn't going to get any games then he shouldn't be no2. get a youngster in and play him in the cups.

Erik Lamela looks like a youngster sapped of confidence. This needs to be addressed quickly.

What news on Kaboul, Capoue and Rose? You have to consider this Kaboul knee problem could be career threatening and no news coming out from the club.

Good away win but AVB must have concern at how vulnerable the might Sherrif made us look attacking us down the right.

[smokie36]

Another fine win and we know we can only beat the teams put in front of us.

I hope you didn't buy any new frocks for those big European nights this summer now Mary....

STUNNING VICTORY

[uptheos]

Hull are close rivals to Spurs in league position, but if the Lilywhites can't stuff the hell out of them at home, something's wrong.

I expect it to be at least 3-0

Just hedging your bet with this Spurs team, 3-0 would be the minimum I'd expect at home.

If Spurs were to score early then thats very possible. If not its difficult as it is with every team that travels away for a point

I think a bit more optimism is needed, after all this is not a cheap team and Hull are........well they're Hull.

[MrRed]

Quiet on here today boys?

Has the optimism of the early season started to recede already or are you just being cautious after the hammers game,Lennon's back could be good for Solly.

[smokie36]

Surprised to see Holtby in front of Erikson today....and interesting to see how Townsend does on the left.

Vertonghen at LB happily as Chiriches and Dawson both playing well.

This will be an interesting one....but I'm not sure how effective Lennon will be against a Hull side who will surely defend deep for most of the game.

We'll see!

[chonabot]

Back in the top 4 - Nice one!

[smokie36]

Well I thought we looked most dangerous when Paulinho got forward into the box and caused problems for the well drilled Hull defence.

Failed to stretch them and too much route one through the middle. Disappointing stuff but happy with the points.

Missing Rose badly on that left flank overlapping and creating space. When is he due to return?
