[GrandOldTeam]

I know this might cause some sparks, but i wouldn't care at all if we got knocked out of the Europa come Feb. League MUST come first.

According the the Sky Sports report thing, we were "thwarted" by Birmingham and there is no mention at all of the Wrongly called offside or the Handball. Funny isn't it.

We've now drawn 1-1 at home with Wolves, Stoke, Birmingham and lost at Burnley, Hull and Bolton. Where are these wins going to come from?

Thanks for the link mate. Interesting comment by Billy. If Billy can see what is wrong with our style I'm surprise Moyes didn't.

In fact, reading through that maybe the reason Billy goes missing is because he's so blooming bored after 20 mins because thats when our Hoofball tactics come into play?

Either that, or he likes playing football hide and seek.

We'll win away at Arsenal 4-0 in a couple of weeks time

You see the point I'm trying to make though, we're putting a lot of pressure on ourselves to get the results we need against the teams at the top.

And people blame him for disappearing. He must be fustrated to see the ball flying over his head the majority of times.

No excuse mate that one mate.

I'll accept fatigue (given the Russian league....), I'll accept he needs time, but I wont accept frustration as a excuse for being a passenger in a lot of games.

Which wont happen.

Whats up with Cahill missing sitters? Or Yak just not being arsed anymore?

Good to see Vaughan get a run out...but I cant keep pulling positives out of nothing.

1-1 against Brum, at home, in a game we dominated, is not good.

Brought on in injury time, I really wonder about Moyes' subs sometimes.

Still love him like.

Thats all well and good, but i would have preferred for us to have beaten Wolves, Stoke and Birmingham and lose again to Arsenal.

Im guessing he's trying to say...you give Bily the ball, he'll do something. You boot it over his head or tell him to chase a ball down when he's not exactly Theo Walcott, he's gonna drop in and out of games.

Im betting he'd do superbly in the centre of midfield. He's probably the opposite to Osman - good player in the middle, goes missing out wide.

His fitness isnt great to cope in the prem. You could see it at the end of the game against Chelsea. He should've played in mid-week to boost his fitness IMO

That's the point. Cant even beat Bolton or Hull either

Disagree, if any of our players need less playing time (a break) - its him.

I think this is his 16th month of continuous football? - He's used to having his feet up now.
