Kieran Gibbs

[FMBlade1]

Paid double our highest earner.

Transfer fee more than double our club record.

Capped by England

Champions League and Premiership experience with Arsenal

How we can even compete against teams with players like that is something, really feel we have hit our glass ceiling mind.

Whilst I get your point, West Brom have lost to Bolton, Hull and Wigan

 

[Roygbiv]

Pretty obvious where we are. Decent side , top 10 but not good enough for the very top. Nothing to sniff at but we have clearly gone as far as we can without investment.

Looked really average first half.
He turned up Second half

 

[Smirth]

Especially when they are gifted offside goals.

Wasn’t offside at all

Wasn’t offside at all

Maybe you should go to Spesavers

Which means we were shit after 30mins.

What can I get from Spesavers?

His shoulder is quite clearly ahead of play. Thanks for the image to prove me right.

Must have pretty big shoulders considering he's stood bolt upright

That literally makes no sense.

In a perfectly formed nutshell my friend.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

We are competing with these teams, mistakes by us and Darren Moore getting his tactics right second half won them the game, if Billy had slotted that chance in we would have been happy that we got a point.

 

[Roygbiv]

Wilder must look across at the West Brom squad and lick his lips about what he could achieve with them.

 

[torridon]

We were excellent first half, WBA especially Gareth Barry were excellent 2nd half, their front 3 ran us ragged at times. Tactical changes by WBA won that game, played possession football 2nd half and we couldn't get in the game. I don't think we were shit as some stating, we are what we are, at best a top 6 side but more likely top 8- 10. Unless there are some big surprises in January that's probably how the season will pan out.

Agreed on Barry.

On the night, showed PL quality.

What, shit as in 'compared to the first 30 mins when we made a very talented and expensive title-contender chase shadows shit, or shit as in 'conceding 4 against Shrewsbury home at home shit'?

 

[BigBed]

Both.

 

[cc1]

Both.

Ok.

Moving on then...

 

[FMBlade1]

Well I thought he looked thoroughly ordinary today. Was very lucky to stay on the pitch.

And I'm not talking about the red-card he should have got.

Well done United!

 

[Topplayersleave]

A shocking tackle, not deliberate I'm sure, but shocking none the less, if it hit Freeman two or three inches higher up his shin it would have been a broken leg. Only his ankle bending and giving way stopped it from being a horrendous injury

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Can't believe the ref missed/ignored it, it was so obvious, I had no trust in those officials tonight.

Other than the handball goal decision and ignoring Gayle's diving antics. We got little else off them.

I thought exactly that at the time you posted. Things are looking up.

Filthy cnt should have been sent off.

Do you sit at home trying to choose which of your previous threads to bump each week?

Rodriguez made the decision for him by admitting to the handball, you'd have to be some ref to get that one wrong.

I am full of shit. I am aware of this.
