special mention has to go to benayoun,we look better with him in the team imo.

One of Rafa's most intelligent signings.

We play Reading next.

Which is in 6 days. If you get 5 yellows it takes 7 days till the ban starts.

I would say home to Portsmouth is a tricky one too. Man City may be playing well but if we put bad boy Mascher on Elano that would nullify the threat quite nicely

i must admit i questioned rafas sanity when we were linked and then bought him,just goes to show what i and a good deal of us know because im posative im not the only one who did.

I thought it started the next game. Didn't they change the rules a few seasons ago so the ban would start the next game even if it's only a few days between them?

[Red_Al_77]

We are on fire at the moment. 51 goals. Torres and Gerrard scoring for fun. 5 wins on the bounce and 21 goals scored. Happy days.

Well we all had an inkling that Yossi was to West Ham what Stevie G was to Liverpool. Could he make the step up?

Yes he can.

Benayoun is OK but hew can be so wasteful in possession. Too many times we should finish off a move but we don't. This side is still developing that "killer" instinct imho (recent scoring record suggests that's improving). I'd prefer a proper RM at RM (Benayoun does more damage at Att MF centrally) but he's a better option than Pennant.

If Carra would have got a yellow card today then he would have missed the Reading game.

He should have taken a booking today and missed the Reading game to be 100% sure that he won't be suspended against Man U.

I hope Agger can play against Reading now because then Carra can be rested with no risk to be suspended against Man U.

Sorry mate, can't agree with that. We can't take gambles like that with Agger currently out the side and no definite confirmed returned date.

Keane has just been sent off for studs up which was fairly tame. Diouf should have been executed for his challenge on the basis of what happened to Keane.

Diouf should have been executed regardless

Diouf's was worse I agree.

Studs up should always be a straight red, the same goes for a tackling from behind.

[WILF]

Yeah, should have been red

[slimbimjim]

Diouf is a cunt doubt. I hope Bolton go down to hell.
