My mate supports Bolton, Viduka linked with them apparently, why not Macerrone starting here ?

[retired_frogchickie]

good question, Southgate promised him a run in the team which consisted of 1 game v watford and now Christie has come from nowhere to jump ahead of him.

[retired_Fit]

Commentator here says Christie scored in reserves during the week ... erm, Maccerone scoring in first team though

[retired_frogchickie]

yeah, Christie got a hat-trick for the reserves not so long ago.

I think Southgate likes the idea of using macca as a super sub, our Walcott if you will...

[retired_frogchickie]

I've just realised Zokora got sent off as well on Tuesday I feel a bit hard-done by now, particularly as Boat had his red card rescinded, we actually had a man advantage at the end

The next few weeks are really going to shape our season, as we have a lot of winnable games.

Wigan (h)
Fulham (a)
Charlton (h)

No reason whatsoever why we can't get 9 points there.

Everton (a)
Blackburn (a)

Tricky games, but again winnable.

Sheffield Utd (h)
Charlton (a)
Bolton (h)
Portsmouth (a)

Again, all winnable.

Then again, we could lose all of them and be bottom. Shame its our favourite time of year. :/

Saturday, I hope he reverts to 4-4-2, id probably play Poga left back as none of the three deserve to be dropped. Morrison and Downing on the wings please and someone creative in the middle with Boateng, either Rochemback, Euell or even Mendieta.

And two up front, preferably Viduka, if he's not fit, Christie or Maccarone (who must feel utterly disullisioned now).

Liked Southgate's response to us being linked with Becks () today, 'hmm, Madrid, Middlesbrough, Madrid, Middlesbrough'.

Also, we've been linked with Nugent from Preston again (£5m), would be worth a punt.

happy new year lazy sods.

Anyway i aint been about for a while due to christmas and new year being a big drinking time, so its been bar open all month and loads of takings meaning new PC for moi!

So whats new!

McMahon broke a leg, Abel the druggie is back with a passion, Huth is dead for a while, Hulse is a cheat who goes down easier than a girl in Kudos in redcar!

Christmas period was hellish wasnt it, should have got a point at blackburn (had game on in club but was too busy for me to sit and watch)
Pitch looked bad.

Sheff Utd were poor.
Boateng needs a rest and a chance to regain some confidence, his passing was pi$$ poor.

Anyway back in a bit beer calls.
