Mansfield won 3-2. For once a 90th minute goal went our way and we sealed the win with it. We seem to concede an absolute tonne in the last 10minutes of games. We're not 11th and only 4 points from the playoff places, hope has been restored.

Lol at Patrick Vieria in the Miolan derby. Don't think I have ever have ever heard of the case where a player has had a go at the coach and assistant coach because he wouldn't get subbed (he had a leg injury) yet despite the fact that Inter had no more subs left.

And surely Marco Materazzi has to win idiot of the week for his sending off even if the rules are farcial (I mean he had a t-shirt on underneth).

Didn't see the incident, so I assume he got sent off for taking his shirt off? If so what a maroon! The rule isn't exactly a secret is it? I personally think players can celebrate goals perfectly adequately without recourse to partial nudity! :p It's just unprofessional & the refs have no choice to make themselves look like bad sports because if they don't book the culprits it will be mentioned in their assessment reports.

More or less so.

He was on a yellow card and he lifted his shirt over his head (didn't take it off per se).

One thing that I have thought about is how somebody like Brian Clough, Bob Paisley or Bill Shankly would react if a player did that and got himself sent off in the semi final of say the FA Cup or Champions League and had to miss the final. I suspect the player would probably have 20 seconds after his sending off to leave the ground because he would get the roasting of all roastings after the game.

He hardly even took the shirt off, besides anyway he had a vest on underneath. IMO it wasn't a good decision.

No it's not - it just puts into perspective how good he actually is at this stage...
No. In the opportunities he's gotten this season he's looked better than either Amoebi or Martins, depending on who he's playing with.

So if that's so, how come he's never been picked to start till this weekend when both Ameobi and Martins were missing then?

Whites back to winning ways against lowly Bournemouth...weird game in that it was dull, but aside from our goal, we hit the bar about 4 times, their keeper made two marvellous saves, both would have been contenders for goals of the season if he hadn't saved them, and they cleared a header off the line.

This league is pathetic though, we didn't win in about six games, we win one game and all of a sudden we're in the top 5. I'm sure SKD and TomNCCC will back me up on the pathetic quality of the division. Only a handful of players stand out, Chris Greenacre and Chris Shuker basically :p

!
I would have to agree. With the exception of Yeovil every team ive seen at Brentford this season have been pretty poor. I think its 9 games since the bees last won a league match and im getting pretty worried. But still a couple of victories a and they are back in the top half. At the moment i just dont see whare those victories are going to come from.

Amoebi and Martins were more proven. Same with Sibierski.

If Fergie can get the Glazer's consent I'm sure he'll pay 30 mil for Torres. Klose and Toni are around the same age so not much difference there. Adriano seems to have personal problems. I'm guessing Huntelaar or Torres would be the best buy right now for future planning.
Huntelaar would be the cheapest.

Adriano has been mooted to be sent out on loan in January for six months, and if the offer came up I'm sure plenty of clubs would take it.

Messi, even in the defeat against Real Madrid he was still the best player on the park by a distance. Kids ridiculous talented and the hype is fully justified, his box-office.
I just watched the game the yeasterday (which is way I stayed away from finding the result) and he made Roberto Carlos look like a fool. Time to go IMO as he has been losing it for a while.

I was thinking Phillip Lahm as a the ideal replacement.

Something else I read the other day is that I read that Inter were interested in Rimini midfielder Ahmed Barusso that there was a rumour Arsenal was tracking him, has anything been heard from our Arsenal fans here or just a load of trahs made up? http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/oct26g.html

Or maybe they're just better at this stage?

Or are you privy to what's been going on in training etc and are telling us that Rossi has been better but Roeder isn't picking him because he doesn't want to pick his best line up?
