Rob W

i would go Howard Hibbo Yobo Lescott Valente ..........Neville Arteta Cahill Osman .....AJ Beats I would never leave Osman out, I think hes quality and I bet he could play left side too ala Joe Cole VDM and Mc Fadden to bring on if we need them, not forgetting Killa

whats this, i didnt type fig! is there a new language modifier on this site figging hell!

i feel sorry for him, must be an easy mistake to make and he should have had help from his assistants but there is no excusing it, he cant ref another game now,it was one hell of a fig up with the whole world watching

samoa i think, was it 31! that a goal every 3 minutes! jerzy dudek must have been in goal that day

first footballer to play in flipflops!

didnt cahill try and get DM to sign this guy already, hes the one that got 13 goals in one match when they won 30-0 or whatever and he had a word with DM about him but then he ended up going to holland? seems to be dropping a big hint that he might wana come here!

if, and im not saying we should, we do sell cahill, we should at least wait til after the world cup to see what other bids come in. he might get a hatrick against croatia tonight and be top scorer then we would want scholes and 20m

bellamy is a top player or at least he has been so far. whats the betting he 'doesnt fit into l'pools style of play'and is sold off within 2 years. i admit i wanted him at the blues last season but had we installed this 6.5m clause in his contract like BB did, we would be spitting blood now, ala barmby. as said earlier in this post...well done DM, he waited and got AJ instead

might fill a hole in their treatment room...but not their midfield!!

i thought hargreaves did ok last night so id go with robbo carra ..rio ...terry... cole . hargreaves .becks lamps gerrard j cole rooney then both gerrard and lampard can bomb forward

tunisia are quietly fancied to win their group u know. spain always under achieve (espec without arteta) and the ukraine rely on shevy too much so they are good outside bet aussies too, they just drew away to holland, not bad going

another £8m wasted by our red friends

id be happy with top half but really we should be pushing 6th/7th

middlesboro seem to have been getting it right, they fielded all their youngies for the last few games and they did v well, we only just beat them with our 1st team out. give them a coupe of years

credit wheres it due, crouch played v well when he came on last night. his touch was excellent and the goal was a peach. i think he played his way more in svens plans and will be more accepted by the fans after that performance. i still dont rate him but if he keeps that up i will have been wrong along with 90% of the country!

gota keep him and give him a chance. when he first played he et up 2 winners and started us back on the up again. if he can keep fit he will be a real bargain for the 1.5 we paid

i read somewhere that chelsea wanted to swap huth for yobo. if yobo wont sign a new contract that would be good business although it would still leave us needing another CB

ive put money on toni and owen

I think the dip in form or more like the whole season was a write off v early on because of the champs league and UEFA cup exits knocking the stuffing out of the players. By the time we recovered we were bottom and trying to survive, which we did. I think the squad has improved from this time last year, we may not have finished as high this year but the players that have comein are better than the ones that have gone. We can all take heart from the run mid season where over 7/8 games we were top (TOP) of the form table. Shows what we can do when we click. Nor forgeting injuries which played a bit part in last season,to assume we wont be that unlucky next season, add to that some new, quality faces and the fact that we only have 2 players competing in the world cup cpmpared to others who have loads and will be tired, i think we can be optimistic for the new season if we play like we know we can for the majority of the season (like we did 04/05) then we will have a good season next year

he says he has turned down an £8m bid! How much does he think his 1st div striker is worth? if this is true i think we are out of the running unless they will take some players with cash

if he goes to charlton i can see another nathan ellington situation coming on..he leaves for a 'bigger' club only for his old club to finish in the top half and the bigger club goes down. he should stick with reading, they will be hungry for it this season

must be akick in the teeth to miss out on 3 world cups running when u have played your part in the qualifiers. hopefully it will make him even more determined to prove himself with us. although, to be stand by 3 times means that u are about the 25th best englishman at footy which is pretty good going

i would be happy with the 4 mentioned. AJ has got to be our main target, him and Beats would make us a force again

isnt ianthetoffee a hereford fan too? should make a separate section for hereford updates and chat. well done boys, lets hope u do a carlsile

yep im just as happy that watford won as i am that leeds lost, good day all round, well done the yellows
