After todays showing i think velios and drenthe should start the next league game
bez the blue {Ed025's Note - me too..
My cup game team:
------------howard------------
hibbert--jags--distin--baines
------heitinga-barkley--------
drenthe----------------gueye
--------vellios-denis---------
I think we should start with the side that finished the match today, we improved so much when moyes made the changes. {Ed025's Note - that works for me!..
We would beat west brom with that side, i feel confident about the city match after today as well. {Ed025's Note - if we stay injury free, and play with the attacking flair we shown at times today...i fear no-one!..
A good cup run would be nice ed
Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - winning games can become a habit....i hope we just keep it going..
We ended the match 4-4-2 and did the business! Everyone knows that's the way forward for us. Come on Moysey, get it done. {Ed025's Note - david is the only one who cant see it!..
Who else was disappointed with Fellaini today, looked lazy and bored it was strange !
For the cup game, i would honestly drop him and play a midfield of Gueye, Barkley, Rodwell and Drenthe. Give Coleman, Osman and Cahill a rest for the City game and play that midfield with Vellios and Saha ( heard Saha should be involved for the cup game )
I think fellani wants out! Hope im wrong! Its reported that arsenal want him but the way things are going we will be in a better pisition than arsenal so a move there coud very well be a sidewards step at most! Which arteta will soon see! {Ed025's Note - i hope he stays mate...but if he does go, we want top dollar for him!, i think arsenal would be a backwards step..

31 min Di Santo scored
33 min Jagielka equalised
Hopefully we win, 2-1
Can't see us scoring 3 goals though :(
Still can't see it? GET IN RICKY
We came good in the end. Velios and drenthe made great contributions, they both have a big part to play in our season
Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - i agree bez....my new strategy for us..is to kick the ball in our own net from the kick off, because when we are behind..we play good attacking football, i would also like to see vellios start...he looks the business,,
Drenthe is going to be a crowd favourite, he looks a classy player and just what we have needed {Ed025's Note - you said it pal..
Drenthe looks sharp and fit now as well, he should get a decent goal return for us as well
Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - lets hope so bez..
Drenthe looks like he will set up a lot of goals as well {Ed025's Note - i am looking forward to watching him..
I posted the original banter and for once i'm happy I was proven wrong

Ed who would be your ideal replacement for Arteta?
Mine would be Danny from Zenit St Petersburg.
He's great to run dribble and run with the ball and he makes loads of dangerous runs into the box. {Ed001's Note - I thought Barkley had already replaced him personally.}
I mean short term so barkley has more time to improve and mature
Plus, personally I think of barkley as a replacement for cahill more so than as a replacement for arteta, like playing barkley behind the striker when cahill is gone because he's over 30 now {Ed001's Note - Arteta spent most of his time injured, I just don't see any need to replace him myself. Better to give a few kids a chance to gain some experience and use the Arteta money to reduce the debt.}
I agree ed, arteta hardly made an impact in his last two seasons, we have plenty of cover in midfield
There is life after arteta, we proved that today!! {Ed025's Note - i think he may have made a bad decision by leaving....i hope so..
Wasn't the main reason Arteta left was for European championship football?

Everton best cheer me up today ! Just watching the first half of arsenal v blackburn and had to watch Yakubu score with a fine finish, then to make it worse Arteta just made it 2-1 with a good goal aswell !!
I know! All we need is for beckford to score now! Rub that salt right into our wounds!
Good luck to arteta, although i think he might regret the move, arsenal look shaky this season
Yakubus first goal was good, he needed a move and we needed to move him on, so it suits all parties {Ed025's Note - he is a decent player...but went stale on us, but when the honeymoon period is over at blackburn...you will see the same thing happen ....the mr hyde will come out!..
Will always have a soft spot for the Yak. Played a full 90 minutes too! He looked ready for hospital by the end tho. Just a shame he didn't get his fat-trick!
WELL THEY CHEERED ME UP ! Don't kid ourselves we were really poor in the 2nd half untill moyes went 4-4-2 and we looked better and far more dangerous !
Wish moyes would see that we play better with 2 up top ! {Ed025's Note - i am going to send him a letter...
Don't think it would work ed ! haha.... You have to give it too moyes like, the fans have been screaming about 4-4-2 for years and he never goes with it, the only reason he threw 2 striker's on today was because he had no choice !
We should play 4-4-2, Rodwell and Fellaini are more than capable of playing in the middle on there own, both strong, powerful, athletic lads adn playing 2 upfront makes us more dangerous when we attack ! Seems simple to me, but then again moyes has proved he usually gets it right haha

After last Saturday it would be unfair for anybody to lose their place today, they all played fairly well, apart from Billy. He wasnt terrible, he actually played well at a few stages in the game, but if I had to pick a scapegoat for the boot, he would be it. Hes not a "winger" and will never be one, he looks totally lost out there.I still have faith in him, but its getting harder, it really is.
Billy needs a more central role to get the best out of him
Moyes rates billy, he has scored some wonder goals, but overall he doesn't do enough for me
He has started again, moyes certainly gives billy enough chances
I just think that gueye, drenthe and cahill are better options for us in the attacking positions, billy might be sold in january {Ed025's Note - unless he steps up to the plate...he will be!..
Yes, agree with ya's, I think unless bilyaletdinov makes a good impact this season it could be his last because next season he will be in the final year of his contract so if he wants to stay here he's going to have to step up to the plate !

does anybody know where I can download the fifa 12 thing that it says on the official website? just curious of to what it is....
I thought all the details were on the official website, worth checking again.
It states that there is a fifa 12 'sleeve' that you can download from the official website. but i cannot seem to find it
There is a thread on the grand old team forum, which might help. I like how they've used our away kit for Cahill on this year's Aussie edition. Obviously because it's the same kind of colour as the Australia kit. It's a nice kit though.
