martins has done great this season, not all players adapt straight away but hes done a great job, if he improves on from this season then he should be a great partner for owen.

if the defence is given a make over like it should have been 2 years ago, but roeder had to see which ones he should get rid off then there should be no reason for poor league finishes.

just remember not to get carried away and expect to win the fa cup or carling cup every year, even arsenal havent won anything this year and they had loads of injuries like we did.

Yes, I am an eejit.

Eleven in the league–THERE ARE ONLY FIVE PLAYERS WITH MORE. They are: Drogba, Ronaldo, McCarthy, Rooney and Yakubu–and three with whom he’s tied. That with shite from the midfield. Without Martins, we’re scoring fuck all aside from fecking SIBIERSKI, with 8 goals this season. Okay, only three in the league, but I think Sibierski’s been very good for us–holding things up and working with Martins.

Emre’s just coming back and is more creative than Parker. I think Duff’s finally starting to provide something, though he’s not been all I’d hoped for. Hopefully next season he’ll be better.

Best Lineup?

Shola/Sibierski and Martins/Owens up top.

Can Martins/Owens work together? Dunno. Probably, but is the conventional wisdom to play a bigger 2nd striker off a smaller player? If so, Shola and Owens may work better? Not sure.

Maybe Duff/N’Zogbia, Emre, Butt/Parker, Milner works as the midfield.

We need a left back… Babayaro’s the best we’ve got, and that ain’t good. Centrally: Taylor Onyewu/Moore (let them compete) and on the right… Solano, probably. Carr looks shite of late.

Obviously Given in goal, though is it me or does he just hoof the ball long every single time it comes to him?

Crap… i’d really like to make UEFA next year…

+-+ Forgeiner.
+-+ Played Like no more than 10 games in a season in his career.
+-+ FIRST premiership season
+-+ Is only 21.
+-+ Playing in a shit team who bum rhape long balls even tho he is tiny.
+-+ played alot of the season up front on his own, which i dont recal shearer scoring loads when he played on his own up front.
+-+ has had very little creative support from his teammates, apart from hit and hope pass’s

all of these factors i could name more, and hes almost bagged 20 goals in his first season you are a absolute discrace if you think martins is bad player or has had a bad season, your wanting to much to soon and your the reason Luque has given up trying for this club.

Martins is only young and has tons to learn, treat him like taylor or milner not, like a mature player [ owen ] who MUST produce the goods every single game please, otherwise you’l fuck him up before his career has began.

roeder isnt great. but he is good. how many ‘great’ managers are there, and how many could we realistically get??

martins has hardly scored, is sluggish and is weak. no, hold on, he is well on his way to 20, fast as your mam when i call and strong as an ox.

that gary lineker bloke must have been crap too i guess.

twats.
