deano speaks...

I shook his hand last night as he was leaving the stadium, I also saw song leave in what can only be described as a bullet proof tank.....

throats gone and big hangover but actually thought last night was excellent from our fans perspective, six renditions of valley floyd back to back...

Legend SIMPLE AS

What a fantastic piece.

Remember every time you want to scream and swear at your Marcus Bent's and your Jerome Thomas', who are more interested in playing the minor celeb at West End nightclubs, there are Deano's and Stevie Brown's playing the game as well.

Deano gets it bang on and I still think Curbs was wrong to oust him for Myhre and Andersen.

I would not have minded dropping him for Scotty but both Andersen and Myhre were no better than an under-performing Deano.

I think Deano's "auto pilot" comment on AC is bang on.

Yes, I have seen him on TV for Luton and West Brom and he looks very useful indeed still.

And a much better bet than Darren Randolph, no offence to the kid.

Yes, Pete, that is a very good question indeed.

I remember watching that 3-0 win up at Boro with Murphy and Smertin bossing it and Rommedahl, Thomas and Benty tearing it up and thinking, "Yes, we've finally arrived, we are now one of the big guns."

Then, we lose at home to the Spuds and the wheels fell off big style.

Methinks that is where Inspector Morse would start his investigations.

[cite]Posted By: pete_tong1[/cite]The question is what really happened a year and a half ago when Smertin, Murphy and all the other players not bothering to play all of the sudden.

the boro game particularly,curbs had them playing total football and who needed parker anymore? the curbs-out merchants were silenced for once and everything looked very rosy.come christmas and everything had gone wibble.

Maybe we'll find out sooner than that... hopefully Pards will give him a game at Anfield. Not like we've got anything to lose is it.

Nothing to lose now so surely he will get a game at Anfield.

Dean Kiely is and absolute legend and i hope he comes back too us next year and plays in the champiosnhip for us DEANOOOOOOO DEANOOOOO

You've never seen this kid play yet writing him off for Dean Kiely who has had his day.

As I said in a previous post he played a full season on loan at Accrington stanley so he is not UNTRIED -and has been picked for Ireland full squad (i think) - he must be given his chance now especially in the CCC -[/quote]

Oh, come on. I admit I've never seen Randolph play but commonsense suggests that a tried and tested Deano would be a much better bet than a 19 year-old rookie keeper in the CCC. Wenger had never seen Walcott play either and still picked him in front of Premiership tested Dazza, was that a smart move?

Sorry, but we need an experienced keeper next season, if Randolph comes through then that's great but a loan spell at Accrington Stanley does not cut the mustard when you are going for promotion.

Oh, very droll.

Tell you what, you've got a choice next year of who plays up front for us, OK?

Let's say the choice is between Kevin Phillips, past his best but about to get 20 goals in the CCC this season at 33, and Chris Dickson whose most recent experience is with Dulwich Hamlet and has NO league experience.

Why would you choose anyone but the proven performer?

You don't get out of the CCC without experienced players, that's a fact.

LOL You're a feisty 'erbert incha

West Brom haven't got "out" though have they and that is a totally different position so irrelevant - but I make you right of course I would go for Phillips that's a no brainer. Goalkeeper wise you can get away with a young keeper at that level I think you can (now you don't have to agree but that's MY opinion).

I am not saying either we should have a team of under 21's you got to have a good mix. Look at us in the PL this season. Lots of experienced pros - got us nowhere. Carson was "untried" to a certain extent before coming to us as well.
