bkkjames Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Best 80 mins of the Season by a long way, followed by the worst 10 mins, typical West Ham.. Apparently Upson's only a dead leg so should be fit for Saturday.. Why wasn't there a Center Back on the bench though on Saturday ?? Ask your vaunted manager this question. Davenport was fit too yet he choose 2 Left Midfielders to have on the Bench instead in Etherington ( understandable ) & Kyle Reid ??? & to have Scott Parker on the pitch for 15 mins after the first of 3 occasions caught on Camera saying " I'm fcuked " when the opposition bring on fresh legs, was poor Management in my opinion & showed a bit of naivety, especially with Mullins on the bench... Still, i thoroughly enjoyed the forst 80 mins & thought we were great, roll on Saturday & how or when we're gonna keep a clean sheet i don't know so 3-1 West Ham..

I think the we'll be alright once the ownership issue and the Tevez thing gets settled. We are in transition but have started to play some good stuff. There are worse outfits around and there are players to comeback from injury. plus the emergence of 3 good youngsters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more worried if we were losing & playing sh*t.. We just need a little bit of luck to go our way cos we're certainly playing well enough.. Hull have acumalated quite a few points but i wouldn't be surprised if my prediction of all 3 who came up to go down & if they don't, Hull will be the one's that stay up but i very much doubt it'd be at our expense, i'd go for Fulham or Newcastle personally.. Why oh why did those other people sack Ramos ?? Wish they would have kept him til Xmas as i doubt if they would have got another point of they did...

I'm always disappointed when they sign a new boss, expecting them to turn it round, but it turns out to be unfounded pessimism. This time it wasn't. I think Porsmouth will be struggling this year.

MSingh Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 A clean sheet will do us the World of good, i'm sur it will, phychologically.. We played much better last week in the Everton Game which i can't believe i'm writing but it's true, however a Clean Sheet will give us confidence.. Big, big Game next week up in Mackem Land, i think i'll sit on the Fence & go for another 0-0.. Just like London Buses aye, them Clean Sheets ??

I think Porsmouth will be struggling this year. i think you might be right. bent harry was the glue at that place, without him they're a collection of individuals and tony adams' pious sobriety won't be enough in a scrap. not to mention now many of their best players the scrotum-faced crook will purloin in the january window.

It won't stop for long unless he has the balls to change the formation that he's played in every Game so far, we just haven't got the Players to play the Game in the way he wants & we're gonna get regulary punished if we continue to play it, unfortunately..

MSingh Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Defeat today would see us in the Relegation Zone for the first time this year unless Blackburn win at <deleted> Fart Lane, which i can't see happening. I am pretty confirdent though especially with a few of our Players having very good International week with Bellamy scoring, Collins with another clean sheet, Collison running the Game in DK according to Reports, Behrami winni9ng & playing 45 mins for the Swiss & Upson too for England.. Fingers cossed anyway.. Ilumga has a niggle but should be fit to start.. 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told you clean sheets were luck Buses, thankfully we nicked one at the other end too... We needed that big time, little bit of relief anyway.. Next 3 Games we're at Anfield, at hiome to the Y*ds then at Stamford Bridge so that Spuds Game becomes bigger than usual in my opinion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSingh Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 still optimistic about avoiding the relegation scrap this season hammers? What based on yesterday you mean ?? Of course not, it's only one result, lot's more Football to be played BUT.................We certainly aren't one of the worse 3 sides in the League, that's for sure but i'm not stupid enough to think that based on that, Teams still don't get relegated.. We'll be one of about 13 Clubs that have a realistic chance of going down this year, in fact i'll name them in no particular order & the key to staying up is the results each Club get when playing each other.. Thta's why i'm completely prepared to lose at Anfield next week.. WBA - Look poor Stoke - Getting the right results when needed but still capable of going on a bad, bad run. West Ham - Pretty Football but that doesn't always get you the Points that matter Blackburn - Look to me is if they don't want to play for their Manager which is a BAD sign. Wigan - Currently in the bottom 3,says a lot. Fulham - Possibly the best Fulham sid for a few years but still capable of getting beaten bad quite a lot.. Pompey - Inexperienced Manager, like West Ham, may all go wrong at any stage.. Sunderland - Don't look very good & aren't getting the Results they need to get against the other Teams listed. Newcastle - The place is a Circus, anything could happen including relegation. Hull - May possibly have too many points on the Board to go down but i just think they're starting to get found out. Bolton - Always there or thereabouts but their experience might see them throguh. Boro - Very inconsistent & haven't got any strength in depth at all.. T*ttenham - Can't rule them out as when the Redknapp Honeymoon is over & they have a couple of bad results, they'll still be in a bad position..

tw25rw Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 There are plenty worse teams than us. Hopefully we can pick up some players that fit better into Zola's system as he's still using Pardew/Curbs's players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Portsmouth will be challenging them but still have enough good players as long as they don't get too severely raped and pillaged in January. & make no mistake, if BG sells some of our most prized assets to recoup some $$ in January & doesn't replace them with adequate Players, we'll be in the thick of it..

MSingh Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 what's your likely XI tonight hammers? To be honest, we've got very much a Full Squad tonight to choose from except Dyer, Gabbidon & Ashton who are all Long Termers.. I think we'll set up like this -----------------Green------------------ Neill-------Collins---------Upson--------Ilunga Behrami-------Parker-------Noble/Collison/Bowyer--------Boa Morte ------------Bellamy---------Cole------------ With, for us, a pretty strong Subs Bench.. He played the 4-4-2 at Sunderland & it makes us tighter than the normal 4-3-3 so i expect he'll play it tonight.. Who knows, we're very unpredictable & have looked much stronger since having Upson & Collins at Center Half & have been playing some good stuff that unfortunately hasn't really got us the Results & i don't expect anything of than a Defeat tonight unfortunately.. That's just the realist in me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 well minus torres i don't think we're set up to score particularly bundles of goals at home, so if we can keep a clean sheet i can see us nicking it one or two nil. depends largely on how we set up.
