Won't happen, but I'd like to see it!

I also wanna see bily and becks get a run out.

I foresee the "new stadium" debate popping back up again after this...

The Aussie cricket team are fucking rubbish!

Congrats England!

Really hoping that Arteta has got his grove back and plays up forward more than he was previous to his suspension.

4 - 2 come from behind thriller. Beckford brace with goals from Oman and Baines. Cahill with 3 assists.

The only plus from this is that it means we could be saving up for the permanent transfer in the "summer"...quite dissapointed...

Also means I won't be buying the pink kit with "Landycakes" on the back.

Is Heitinga injured? When Jags went off injured I wondered why Hobbo came on instead, then noticed that Johnny wasn't on the bench...would have seen it has a great opportunity to get his groove back in a position he's far more suited to...

Fuck right off!

Haven't watched it yet, but baines got 3 bonus points in my fantasy team...did he do well? Normally the fantasy scores are way off...

Btw, his agent has denied that Pienaar has made a decision yet.

Indeed!

I imagine that there Will be a lot of controversy about 2022 when this Asian cup is on...

Anyone know when Timmy C is set to leave?

We only got two votes . How embarrassing.

Can beat that! Australia only got 1 vote...

I fear another thrashing but then again, ,i feared a thrash last time we played them at stamford bridge, and we pull a draw out of our arse again the eventual league winners!

3-0 to chelski, or 2-2 with a cahill double.

How did manu spend less than us!?

Australia is as good as dead imo. Reynald Temarii has cost Australia the decision.

True...just read that Temarii is still going ahead with his appeal, so that means OFC can't put forward the acting representative and now get no vote.

Makes you wonder...Temarii was an England vote, as well as an Australian vote, so this along with the panorama BS makes you wonder if the UK press are actually just anti-FA mafia!

Can only hope now, but I'm pretty sure it'll be England/USA...just hope it's not Qatar!

When's he due back? I honestly beleive that we'll play better with him on park...that's going by his recent form at least. May not be as confident coming back from injury...

Who do you guys think will get 2022?

Obviously I'm hoping Australia, but somehow, it seems that Qatar are favourites!?

If I were a betting man, I'd say USA will get it...which also seems silly as I can't see(economically at least) the US being the powerhouse in 12 years time that is today.

If they hadden't had one so recently, I'd put my money on Korea or Japan.

I think if Pienaar is going to leave, we should really look to sell him in January...which is shame, cause he's been quite good this season and we'll definately miss him. But if we can get at least some money for him to go towards a permanent replacement, then I guess it's worth it in the long run.

How could we afford his wages? wouldnt mind a double swoop for him and Landon in Jan would be two great additions.

Crikey imagine that! Two proven wingers one of which is also a proven striker...too good to be true so it won't happen.

No?

Maybe?

what a joke..i'm not even goin to respond beyond this post to a load of shite about replacing moyes

This.

The problem is that there are people in the 11 that aren't playing up to their normal standard(Arteta and Heitinga) and we've got strikers that can't hit the mark be it not making chances(Saha) or screwing them up(Beckford).

For me, our starting 11, going by recent form and ignoring injuries and suspentions is thus:

_____________Howard_____________

Neville__Jagielka__Distin__Baines

______________Fellaini_____________

Coleman_Cahill_Osman_Pienaar

______________Yakubu_____________

Osman was on form filling in for Pienaar before his injury and I think had we played in instead of Arteta in past few weeks we'd got some different results. Of course being injured, we couldn't have played him anyway...

Another note is that I think Johnny could definately replace Jags at the moment. Jonny's looks awkward in the DM position and putting him back as a center back makes alot more sense, as that's where he found his form last season.

Bily could well be a good replacement for Cahill during the asian cup too, as I beleive he'd play much better as an attacking CM.

Though he's only scored once, I think the Yak is our better option up front with the single striker formation. Though I think Beckford is due for a breakthrough...I haven't watched any of the WBA game yet, but I hear he missed couple of sitters. I'd still give him time and I reckon he's gonna come good soon.

Back to Landycakes....in post game interview with Donovan last night he was asked what he was going to do now that Galaxy had played their last game for the year. He said he'd be having a rest and going on a vacation to get ready for next season.

Hopfully he only needs a couple of weeks, cause I really think we'll need him with Cahill going to the Asian cup.

Also of note was that he was playing as a striker and he scored within the first 10 mins.

People keep saying we need a striker and that we need a winger.

Donovan fits both criteria.

Voted for cahill.

Hopefully this means that someone else can step up and replace arteta...along with fellani coming back, we might actually start playing properly!

After watching LA galaxy lose to the newcastle jets(mid table australian team) this evening, I'm not so sure...Donovan however was great, and think he'd be a much better target.

On a side note, I heard he got paid $2m Australian to play tonight...

EDIT: just read the article and it looks very tounge in cheek...will intersting to see if it pops on on the official site at all.

Saha will start unfortunately but we'll pull a 2-1 win ager he's dubbed off!
