I didn't realise the mark of a good footballer was how quick they can run.

I agree with most that Newcastle will be tough to finish above this year, but I don't believe Norwich are really all that, and for Villa to be a force this year it will take an incredible turn around in form from last year. They were absolute toilet last season. Ourselves, Sheff Wed and Derby...

So you think all relegated prem clubs will bounce straight back up again?

I used to be fairly decent back in the day, and being resident set piece taker there were plenty of chances for me to score decent goals. I scored a lot of goals where I dribbled past the majority of the opposition team, but it's a little difficult to describe these in any further detail! I...

I like it!

I've played at the one in Rustington, which runs alongside the par 3 golf course. Being both a keen footballer and golfer, I thought it would be very easy. But for the effort it takes to hit a golf ball 100 yards, you'd be surprised at just how far away that is to kick a football! Don't play...

I actually think this is EXACTLY the kind of player we should be aiming for. If premier league teams are looking for a tried and tested prem striker, Ings has only scored 14 goals in the premier league over the last two seasons. He is also fairly injury prone, so would be seen as a risk, albeit...

I vote Honey Badger

I'd be surprised if Rooney were dropped, being skipper he should be there every game and he's been fantastic so far. RE the rest, I wouldn't be too surprised if we rotate the strikers, and after the last couple of performances giving Alli and Sterling a rest also makes sense. Not sure on...

Quite liking the Swedish away kit to be honest!

Given the way we finished the season, and going on the assumption that we will be adding to an already promotion challenging squad, I think we'll get more.

I agree with most of these, with the exception of Baldock and LuaLua. Both have been really influential this season. LuaLua's early season form picked up a good 6-9 points by itself, he was unplayable. The effect that Baldock has on a game appears to go unnoticed by quite a few. Can we do...

As others have said, the three recent occasions where we've been in the playoffs have all been very different affairs. - Poyet's team was probably good enough to do it, but we all know the controversy and implosion that occured there. - Oscar's team we were lucky to get in the playoffs at all...

I can't recall the tackle you're referring to, but the point you make is spot on. For anyone who has enough time on their hands, you could probably find hundreds of instances where a player has showed their studs with a high foot in much the same manner that Dale did. I seem to remember...

One of the big telling points for me, is that hardly none of the Boro players actually react to the challenge. Have a look at the footage. The Boro player nearest the ref has a word, but none of the other Boro players seem that bothered. They're not quick to surround the ref or anything, in...

Looks to me like Sidwell is lurking behind Wilson!

This. I want to know whether I can stake all of my vCash on this game, or hold some back incase we have 2 or 3 more games remaining!

There is a CB shaped hole on our substitute bench, and I believe Calde is probably the most capable player we have of filling that exact position. We need to account for an injury early in the game to one of our defenders, otherwise we have no hope.

I would have La Liga and the Premier League as being the best two leagues, although the German and Italian leagues aren't bad. In La Liga, the top three teams are streets ahead of the rest, 20 points ahead of 4th to be exact. The gulf in quality from these top three teams to the bottom three...
