Man, do you think I want to put Neill or Neville in the line-up, but everyone is saying we need experience or he is not ready, so I am just trying to be sensible with my current selection.

I have been saying we should play Coleman, but it's not happening and Hibbert is playing RB which I don't want to see, and Neill is the only one Moyes would consider experience enough to start ahead of Hibbert.

Duffy again is the future, but in the mean time it would have to be Yobo & Jagielka, let's hope Bidwell would taken over from Baines in 2~3 years as well.

The reason we need to have Neville around is because he has the winning mentality, which sadly not many have around.

Believe me, I'm with you there bud.

Everybody keeps saying Moyes doesnt buy wingers, thats cos he doesnt play a system that uses wingers. He needs players who will work back, most wingers are lazy.

Just let Moyes do his thing lads. Would love to see anybody in the world do a better job than he has, £4m net a SEASON and hes dragged us from the pits, to near greatness.

In Moyes we trust, in the board we laugh.

I don't think it's the lack of wingers that bothers me, it's the awful lack of pace and dribbling ability in the squad. We have no one who can carry the ball, beat players and take pressure of the side.

Moyes has an idea of a system but he doesn't actually use it. He's got it spot on with Pienaar and Baines down the left handside yet he continues to play a limited, defensive fullback like Hibbert on the right handside. Players like Bilyaletdinov and Osman need an outlet, there good footballers but they lack pace. Hibbert simply doesn't offer that outlet, nor will he link up with them.

If we are going to continue with this 4-5-1 then pace desperately needs to be added to the side. I'm hoping Coleman gets a run in the side at some point and I'm looking forward to seeing how Donovan fits in, considering his pace and ability to run with the ball.

Pain Killers I had them before and they are not good for you, try avoid taking them, unless it is necessary.

If you are having back problem I would recommend you try accupuncture, I had try them before and it pretty effective with joint & muscular injuries, heard it work with headache as well.

Don't know how effective the needle are, but those evaporating dish looking thing, which they used to stick on your body, seem to help relax you muscle or help releasing your bruise blood.

We are ok, when everyone are fit and ready but the problem is Arteta are not available, meaning we are short on number in that department.

I don't think a wide player is a must, but we should have someone like Baines on the right as well and I hope Coleman would be out solution for the position in the long-run.

I think Moyes is a great manager and I find it hard to name someone who is as good as he is, if those manager only had that much money to spend.

Loan move in January anyone? Unsettled at tge Bridge, mate of Bily's and possesses pace in the wide positions?

A fantastic player, no idea why he ever went to Chelsea when they already have Cole at left back. But then we already have Baines. For the record I actually think Zhirkov is better than Baines, but left back isn't really a priority area for me.
