I think the Americans are different to the other investors. I think they are doing it for other interests and to gain a control in the biggest sport in the world.

This is the exact kinda game the club should allow ST holders in for free after the 15 quid price increase. I can understand the Chelsea game being a money maker but this one should be valid. However I suppose ST holders will have to fork out?? Any word on this?

What is it with these Yanks trying to take over "our" game and buy out all our football teams!! Its becoming an increasing habbit, it starts off with 1 then another, and 1 by 1 there will be at least 10 EPL clubs being ran by Americans. Arsenal are the latest team to be approached and an American firm got 10% stake last night with long time serving David Dein moving on with immidate effect. Arsenal have been ran superbly in the last 20 years but now the Yanks are moving in on them. Is it because they want control? Is it because the US game will never be big due to the popularity of the South American and European game?? Soon they are going to be running Premiership!!! It wouldnt surprise me in 10 years time Americans running the Premiership, owing teams and some sort of link between there league and the Premiership. I say buggar off and keep to playing Baseball, Ice Hockey, Basketball and Gridiron.

Turned the game off when the 4th goal went in. West Ham were easy the better side in the first half and could have been ahead and we did to score straight away. Andy Gray said the first goal was of the highest quality, i disagree, i thought the marking was shocking and SWP got through too easy. But his 2nd goal was class. Curbishley has had some big excuses like we need luck, but there is no excuse for playing Dumbo upfront (Zamora). He is another Kris Boyd and out of his depth at that level. I cant understand why Harewood, Carlton Cole, Sheringham, Branco dont get a look in. Harewood has pace and hassles defenders, Cole has pace, Teddy is still the cleverest player there and was playing well under Pardew, but Curbs insists on playing Zamora. The 2nd half West Ham Zamora had an open tap in to make it 2-2 but he didnt even see it coming then Chelsea took over. I was fuming. We have to beat Everton, Wigan and Bolton now or we are down but i cant see us getting more than 7 points from those games.

I think this was because he was in a midfield full of quality superstars and fans favourites but he was great at his job of digging in and winning things. Id take him back for a season.

Yeah and im getting up tonight to watch us dent Chelsea's premiership hopes. C'MON YOU IRONS

Yeah i agree with this to an extent. Football is not sports entertainment like Wrestling as entertainment is something that is staged. We are blessed that due to football being the best game in the world we can be hugely entertained but some games can equally be dire. As a neutral we all want the big cup finals to be 4-3 wins and we all want to see our team play great football but its never always going to be that.

You always here of clubs doing this but nothing much ever materialises. Hopefully this one works and they can send a few Claudio Reyna's over. But we should already have a scouting netwrok set up in the USA although the US would be far down on my list of priorities. Anyway, I wonder if there is chance of getting Becks for our right midfield next season!!!

Its fair enough if they give you some sort of extra package like throwing in the friendly against Chelsea or someone else. Is the ST valid for Scottish cup games still? I know it is for league games but its not handy if we are drawn away from home in every round which is possible.

You should have sent the form back with no card details and a note saying no thanks and gave your reasons. Id be interested to hear if anyone does get a ST the same price as last year. BTW dont you sit in the main stand Gav?? How come your seat was only 410 but mine in the club deck was 540 and that was 7 or 8 years ago!!!!

I hope its not a waste signing a striker like this and having nobody in the squad who can create for him. Thats why i say keep Buffel and get him on top of his game.

I still dont agree with taking out a strip every season so I wont be buying that, plus i think its ugly. They are going to run out of designs taking one out every season.

I would go with that except Id put Ian Ferguson in - he got all 9IAR medals so deserves it IMO. If your putting Numan in you have to put Davie Robertson in - He served as good as the dutchman. And maybe a shout for Gary Stevens. Im not sure about Rod Wallace though - Not quite a rangers legend, id have Michael Mols and Gordon Durie in there ahead of him.

Well done !!! Was it not Duncan Ferguson who got fined for kicking the shit out of burglars at his place once?

Yeah id like to see him signed up. I also want to get the Webster deal done and the defence wouldnt have to be worried about for next season as we will have good quality with those 2 and Ehiogu, plus good numbers with Broadfoot and Papac as backup. Also Svensson may stay and Murray can play there.

He is one of the players im actually excited about going for this summer, hopefully Shota tells him good things about us. Id rather keep Buffel aswell as I can see them working well together.

I cant see any picture!!!

Morton probably wouldnt be a bad place to go this weekend BTW!!!

West Ham need to get relegated before any clause can be triggered But as much as id like West Ham to punt him on id rather it not be to Ibrox as I dont rate him at all, he has butter fingers of the highest order. Whats Man U doing with Ben Foster?? If they arent taken him back then we could take him for a year but if he does return to Old Trafford we could have Kusazuck (sp)

Man U were in 2nd gear most of the match, they started both halfs well and could have had a few more. But Im glad they have got a 6 pt lead again as Chelsea have a tricky trip to West Ham tonight and then Newcastle on the weekend. I was switching over to the Arsenal v Man City now and then and Arsenal played some great stuff first half and Fabregas' goal was a peach.

Exactly, but if i put the wink or smile icon then everyone would have got it

Is he as old as that?? He is playing well and at a high standard for his age then, but maybe he is another Teddy Sheringham

Fook sake, it was an attempt at a joke to see if Pete would fall for it and say "he's 37 aswell"

Yeah this is justified, Hemdani has easily been our best player this season and that includes consistancy aswell as performances. Well done Hemmy!!! I think our midfield should be built round him. Id have him holding with Thomson doing the battling and tackling (unless we can sign Tugay back - see footie chat), then have Buffel playing infront of them. Young player of the year would have been Hutton for me (if he is still young enough). He has came back this season with a great attitude and put in fantastic performances to a better standard than before his leg break. He got a lot of unfair criticism at the start of the season when IMO he wasnt near the worst player in the team, but since January he has been top notch especially in the important games against Celtic and Aberdeen. Adam has chipped in with a few goals but some of his performances have been absolute drivvel. Also well done to Dado, thoroughly deserved as he has been a legend, its just a pity his knees are playing up only at the age of 32.

Here is a player who we shouldnt have sold in the first place. He has been playing consistantly well for the last 2 seasons even though he is 33/34 and id welcome him back in the summer even on a years contract.
