StevO is absolutely spot on! 4-5-1 has been our most successul formation by far under Moyes, it's also our most attacking. We have midfielders capable of scoring (Cahill, Arteta, Osman), and we midfielders capable of grafting (Neville, Fernandes, Carsley). We have 5 forwards of varying qualities and we're pretty solid at the back these days (mostly). AJ has to be No1 when he's fit up there on his own. If no AJ, then Vaughany is a very similar type of player. Very fast over the turf and capable of bearing down directly on goal. If no Vaughany, then Victor it is also quite capable to sit up there alone. He offers good link up with the attacking midfielders and can also run at defences direct and put the shits up them. BT? He can cut the oranges in half for half time with McFudge! At the end of the day, 4-5-1 is an attacking formation. The midfield is where the game is controlled. If our midfield has the right mixture of grafting ball winners and attacking wanna be strikers then by default we will be strong and launch more attacking play. DM should build the team / squad around this need and only then will we be able to seriously start to challenge regularly.

Not wanting to piss on anyone's birthday cake here, but Hibbo will never bang one in and he DID bring Vaughan on, and we DID get beat!

We know we're shite playing 4-4-2 so why keep tryin' it? We're far stronger and more attacking with 5 across the mid as we always have an allowance for one of them to push on. Just can't understand the sense in us playing weaker! Opinions?

"Edit: Sorry steve you and Claire have the same pic and I just assumed which made an "ass" of "u" and "me" In that case I'll speak for Claire too mate. She's too lady like to vent like that

Fuckin' negative twat! What a tosser trying to play it out with mins to go. Should've had Vaughany on from the start and not that fuckin cart horse BT

I've been on and voted for us. Some real shite on the thread though!

He does have a fat arse to drag round the pitch though, doesn't he?

Thing is............................. The Shite really should be beating the small / smaller clubs at home Desparate fuckers buying all sorts to try and improve! It's hardly building the right foundations is it? Tossers

I seriously hope Yozzer proves the thick ginger twat wrong! Completely shite management. He may not take risks on the pitch, but Moyes certainly risks our squad size and is dwindling it away. Daft twat!

It's bollocks from BK! We need to be playing in Europe in order to further our redevelopment. The more varied experience we get the more we should improve until we hit the CL again and put up a better show than last time. As already said earlier, the higher we finish in the league, the more we make. With the upcoming dosh that Sky will be paying out there will be a kitty available for players so we can improve the team and make European progress. So, shut the fuck up Bill, you nob! Put up or shut up!

TWIST! If we can cash in while he's still got some credibility then we should do so. The potential is always there with Beatts but how long can we wait while in the meantime Vic has come through and surpassed him and Vaughney's back in the frame with his electric pace. Let's sell and use the funds towards getting the driving dynamic midfielder we really need!

Yeah, let's flog "Nace the Tramp" (to Rangers ), keep Nuno fit (hopefully) and get Sandro sellin' ice cream in the Street End! Start gettin' young Paddy Boyle groomed and ready to take over in a year or two.

With Peas & Gravy gone now, I think DM will promote Phil to full blown Club Captain. I'm ok with this as I think he demonstrates the determination and spirit which epitomises howwe feel about our team. Comments anyone?

Flog "Dodgy Dickie" I say and get some dosh in the kitty !

Best of luck to the Big Fella on his re-unification with "Old Walter". I agree. He'll do a top job for Rangers! Thanks for 8 years service Davie and all the best.
