Speedo was the calmest person in the ground when he stepped up to take that, there was never any chance of him missing it. And like someone said before it wasn't the best performance but it is 3 points and with only playing well once out of 4 games we are still 6th.

The late penalty has made me completely forget how awful we were. However, is it not good that even though we played so badly we still came away with 3 points? Thats what all the best teams do, pick up the points even on their off days. We also saw glimpses of Anelka's class, Vaz looked very sharp when he came on and Idan Tal played very well. Shame only half the crowd was there to see the goal, but thats there problem.

3-0. Anelka and Diouf to score early goals that kill off Watford. The Reebok faithful will be in full voice in the sunshine and then in the second half Anelka will be put through and will burn the tired Watford defense to cooley slot home the 3rd to make the game safe.

I've not seen much of Tal (just the time when he came on against Charlton to be exact). Is he a midfield player that will play in the central midfield, as part of the 3, or is he more of the attacking midfield player that will play as part of the front 3?

From Allardyce saying that Teimourain is starting against Watford, it sounds to me like Speedo is covering at left back with Teimourain going in the midfield 3. And I think he will play there with Campo and Nolan with the front 3 being Diouf Anelka and Vaz Te.

I was sure that I was going to open this tread and see the words Mike Riley. Thank God it's not.

What new injuries have we got since Charlton?

Exactly. No yes man would have dropped the Enland captain and biggest name player in the team from the whole squad. Downing is just above average at best for me, he is nowhere near the ??10m price that Totenham were offering and I don't think he is good enough to play at international level, however as soon as Joe Cole is back then he will be out.

That is one of my favourites. Made even better because my dad's mates had travelled up from Ipswich and were sat infront of me. They stayed the weekend and I never shut up about it

Do you ever stop trying to wind people up you fcuking c0ck. And who are you to comment on how reliable peoples sources are, your the biggest liar on the whole forum. I for one believe what Salford Trotter said and think that we have missed an opportunity with Rossi.

If we carried on with the same formation that we usually play for the 6 weeks that Davies is out, with the front line being Diouf---Anelka---Vaz Te, defences will look at it and sh1t there pants. Anelka is lightning quick on and off the ball and will therefore cause problems, Vaz Te is fairly quick on the ball and very quick off the ball which will create space, and Diouf isn't exactly slow and although he isn't quick on the ball he can still beat his man.

I'll be there probably with about 5 others. We'll kick the sh1t out of them 4-0 with an Anelka hat trick.

Yep. And yesterday I noticed rangers released that Farfan/Fanfan (not sure which one it is). Didn't we show interest in him a bit ago? Is he worth a gamble as he is free?

Fcuk all if we won't give him a decent contract.

With Davies out, if we do carry on with our 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation then the front line will be Diouf--Anelka--Stelios/Vaz Te. I don't think we have the option of playing the long ball game. If we try and play long ball then it will be very unaffective and we will get slaughtered by Watford.

I thought Miete has played very well in our first 3 games, and has fit into our team very well. As for Andy Todd- No thanks.

Malbranque for me aswel. But it looks like he is staying in London. So then it would be Sorin but it looks like he is going to Hamburg. So probably my prefered player that we still have a chance of getting would be Nugent. We would go from having a fairly weak front line a couple of weeks ago to having one of the strongest in the PL if we pulled that one off.

And the one on Faye wasn't even an elbow. It was more of a hand/lower arm. Fcukin' girl!

Even if he isn't a defensive midfielder, he definitely isn't a creative attacking midfielder that we need.

I hope were not the English team in for him. We don't need him. We already have Campo, Speed and Faye to play in his position, we need an attacking midfielder not a defensive one.

3-0 to the whites. Diouf Davies and Nolan.

I probably now have a slightley biased opinion as Anelka is our player and Johnson turned us down. But I recon that before either of them had signed for anyone if you had said to me who would you prefer at Bolton Johnson or Anelka? I would have said Anelka. Johnson is a good player but Anelka is different class.

Give it a few days. Then they will catch on, on what has happened.
