Baker is an awful centre half.

He just gets worse. A complete embarrasment.

If Baker were a horse, you'd want to shoot him to put him out of his misery.

He's terrible.

As shit as we are, for all those convinced that Norwich, Cardiff and Sunderland are going to get the two wins each they all need to catch us, just have a look at that form table Legions just posted.

True.

Although, then again, Sunderland have just got four points from away matches at Chelsea and Manchester City, so I wouldn't be taking anything for granted on that account.

Thing is lots of people say he's ok for 4th choice, but even if he were 4th he still wouldn't be anywhere near good enough. The fact he's been first choice for most of the last two seasons is a disgrace.

I dislike Baker's shite performances as much anyone (trust me ) however, who has been giving him the shirt every week?

Lets not make him the scapegoat. He's a young guy out of his depth, what is he to do, refuse to play on the grounds that he is so shite?

The blame for the likes of Baker, Bennett & Weimann lies firmly at the feet of the person who selects this trash.

I can understand people going on about Baker, Weimann etc, as they're playing week after week, but, why do people keep putting Bennett in these lists? From the back end of last season and since he's come back from injury this season he's played pretty well.

It was obvious Baker wasn't up to it from way back, but there were still plenty who said he wasn't that bad, that there's a good player in there somewhere.  There just isn't.   Ditto Clark, he was never and still isn't  PL level and I doubt he ever will be.  And there's a few others too.  The one that disappoints me is Weimann who showed a huge amount of promise when he broke through.  He was making intelligent runs that wouldn't ever occur to Gabby, and his finishing was decent.  The last year and a half he's tended to be head down, hacking frantically at anything that comes his way and with the first touch of a pinball node.   He's got zero composure but I still think a decent coach could salvage his career at the top level.

Yesterdays heroes,
Baccuna, just not a full back,
Bertrand I honestly would not pay what Chelsea will want,
Baker, no more to be said,
Kia championship player at best.
Delph seems to be going backwards and that's a concern, one of the few we may get a decent amount for if we do go down, but not as much as we paid.
Westwood, Mr Angry yesterday.
Andi, now I know what Lambert did in Germany, he nipped across the border to Austria and Andi is his love child.
Gabbi at last a goal, but still so far of the pace.
Holte, just why oh why, the mobility of an old age pensioner
apart from that all is good.



The most misspelled names in one post I've seen. Thank the lord Clarke (sic) wasn't playing.

the disappointing thing is we've not scored many wonder goals ourselves this season. We scored quite a few last year. It's like the we've had our balls cut off in that department.
