    Kabesele is already better than Prodl

    Just watched the highlights - that finish from Gray when he broke through 1 v 1 is absolutely laughably horrendous. He just isnt a good footballer is he bless him.

    That would be 100%. 6 in 14 would be acceptable.

    6 in 14 would be way above acceptable.

    Really? Expecting him to end the season on around 12 goals?

    No wonder you're happy with his crappy performances and return so far. Your expectations are in the toilet.

    They're complementary, not competing for the same place. A solid, good in the air leader (our John Terry, but without the dodginess) and an athletic plugger òf gaps. But if only we could defend set pieces

    A comfortable win indeed although as in other games despite dominating we do tend to present the opposition with unnecessary chances. If Joselu had not been as wasteful it could have been a different story. Great to see a manager who picks players on form. Hughes and Zeegelaar the beneficiaries. No rushing to play Pereyra or Holebas. Making players earn their spots. Great camaraderie in the squad. Despite the mix up between Hughes and Gray with the former in a better position to score all hugs and smiles when Gray did score.

    Gray is not on the best of form but supporters need to keep encouraging him as he is getting into the right positions. Barracking him will only end up adding pressure on the price tag he has been given. We have nothing to fear from Manchester United. I hope we go into the game looking to win it and not as we did against Manchester City offer space and respect.

    Didn't say I was happy with his performances, but I have patience. Maybe a little less black and white thinking and a few more shades of gray.

    Besides, he's only started 9 so far, and rounding up that percentage would mean a total of 13 in 34 starts. I'd consider that good at this level, rather than acceptable, but hey, we've all got different agendas.

    AG is probably trying too hard and suffering from 'analysis paralysis' as the sports scientists would say.
    However he is getting into all the right positions,if not playing all the right notes as Eric almost said to Mr Preview!

    A 12 goal a season striker in the Premier League is a decent commodity, not an under-performer.

    Should El Greco's study of Peter Crouch go in the attic or on the wall?

    If it's a life-size portrait it can start on the wall and naturally reach the attic, no problem.

    If you trawl low enough, you're bound to catch a bottom-feeder.

    And you did.

    Ok, all this talk about Everton, Newcastle and other dross has run its course.

    We've got Man Utd on Tuesday and I can't wait to start outraging their forum lurkers by claiming that we've overtaken them in the footballing hierarchy.

    Who is meant to be kicking off the matchday thread?

    £200 for the taxi fares, £1,800 to have them decontaminated afterwards.

    To be fair, it's the least they could do.

    They probably pay Brandon Mason that in a week.

    AG?

    Gray or Guedioura?

    St Adlene attracted v similar comments.

    I fancy both more at home in the Champo.

    (I don’t mean Champions’ League.)

    Exactly.

    Ideal for the 10 ft drop on the stairwell.

    I was referencing an earlier post about Vydra. But good of you to stick your head in.

    Now I understand the problem we wanted to sign Dorian Gray but got Andre

    Your post quoted another about Gray, that included a video of Gray scoring his Championship goals, so I don't know what your problem is. If you were talking about Vydra, say so.

    But if you dislike people responding (sticking our noses in) to your posts on a public discussion forum, I suggest you use the PM facility, then know one needs to read them either!

    Hideous echoes of the Blissett/Barnes episode with Milan.

    Careless of Gino not to check whether a transfer target actually existed.

    o_OI responded to yours that quoted a post about Gray. Stop being a wimp.

    As I said, if you dont like responses on a discussion forum and you get upset easily, use the PM facility.

    Both comfortably in the top 10 painters of thin people.

    Peter Beardsley & Picasso?

    Looking forward, but also backwards, did anyone else note Mourinho’s similarity to Milk Tray Man on Saturday?

    Or someone who’d just stepped out of being the backend of a pantomime horse?

    Speaking of Peter Beardsley - Derek Payne seized his chance to get an autograph after the game!

    The great PB towering above him!

    Even sporting that bizarre item of headwear.

    Looks like some ****ensian urchin.

    I prefer to not add unnecessary pressure, by not pretending he’s any good.

    That way when he ‘runs the channels well’, we’ll all be pleasantly surprised and praise his pluckiness.
