I remember getting abuse for posting these midweek
The weekend isn't even over and you've posted this! Haha
I can't think of a reason it would matter? If it's not good enough someone else can do it.
Howard Webb.
Really?And they said UTD wasn't making any moves in the jan transfer market
Yup. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/...ramSearchContext=MATCH_WEEK¶mMatchWeek=22
Arsenal have it in them to get a draw. Just not when they go down to 10 men after 9 minutes.
Are you just ignoring the fact he's played in his 'favoured position' for Dortmund, with great success?
I know he hasn't done massively well so far, but he's not had a good run of games and he's been injured. Give him a chance at least.
I disagree, I think he did fairly well today.
The Welbeck discussion is an interesting one. I bet most of the people that rate him are the ones who didn't really like Berbatov.
Berbatov is a real class act, his decision making and technical ability are second to none, but he doesn't mindlessly close everyone down like a headless chicken and tire himself out after 45 minutes.
Welbeck is, as someone described him, a 'pace merchant', he can run a lot (for one half) and fairly quickly, but that's it. His finishing, passing and control are all fairly poor most of the time. I'm giving him a chance and he's sometimes moderately effective, but someone else would do a far better job.
Yesterday he got praise for running around like a headless chicken, most of the things he did were fairly poor, like they usually are. Whenever he's sprinting somewhere with the ball, you know he's going to mess it up with a poor pass, or woeful shot.
He can have some more opportunities (though hopefully not in important games), but so far I'm not a big fan. He doesn't seem to have improved much since becoming part of the first team, which is a concern.
In fairness he's our 4th choice striker so we shouldn't expect the world from him, but why not just hang on to Berbatov and rotate him properly instead of giving Welbeck a bigger contract. It's utterly bizarre really.
Hernandez isn't all that outside of the penalty area, but inside he's one of the very best and you can usually rely on him to put chances away. Welbeck would miss those same chances.

Yep, it doesn't take much for people to start getting upset and bringing out the stupid smilies.
Making a point in an aggressive manner detracts from it, it doesn't help your case.
