    Have to put Rosenior in there and, if he had been fit all season Cameron stewart also. Shaun Derry, Grant Holt, Trevor Sinclair are worth a mention

    My lad played cricket against his lad last year. Had a bit of chat with him. Quite articulate for a footballer.

    Schmeichel reminds me of Gomes for Spurs, all the abilities there but they seem to have a headless chicken mode, you want a steady number one these days.

    If we're basing our views on what we've seen this season, then based on the two games I've seen Leeds play live, I won't entertain the notion that any of their players are particularly gifted technically. Their primary game plan seems to be to get away with as many sly fouls and barges as possible, rather than worrying about kicking footballs.

    We scored the second most goals in the League by fouling our way across the goalline.

    I've discussed this with you before, no one's denying that it's effective. I just think it's ****ing ugly the way they do it, even Snodgrass who is widely accepted to be a skilled playmaker. All I saw from him in 180 minutes this season was a series of massive barges. He seems to be obsessed with using his upper body for everything, often it's not a foul, sometimes it is, but all the time it's ugly and it's not a skill. And this is the guy who's the skillful playmaker in the team...

    So Becchio wasn't one of the top 5 goalscorers in the league? And Howson didn't get an Under 21 call up? Must have imagined all the other good players apart from Snodgrass and Gradel.

    I also think it's fair to say we most probably played differently most of the season to how we played against you in 2 of 46 league games. You should have seen Forest against us! They are some dirty bastards!

    I think Snodgrass and Howson are good players, but they certainly aren't as good as some people make out. I'm not saying that they didn't deserve their International call-ups, of course, just that some people rate them too highly.

    I see what your saying but I am adament in my belief that Snodgrass was the best player in the division last season, he was very unlucky with injuries etc. Howson will play for England one day, mark my words.

    There's certainly a long way to go for Howson, from what I've seen.

    I know England are going down hill rapidly, but we're not in that much **** yet, that we need Johnny Howson in there.

    I don't think Howson will ever get further than a bottom-half Premiership team. You never know though, if he improves the consistency of his forward passing, he could be a star.

    Howson is all right, but he was nowhere near being in the top five players in the Championship last season.

    Snodgrass is good, but the £5m Norwich are allegedly going to pay for him is way too much for a player with just one good Championship season under his belt.
