As you've hinted, their downfalls stems from the fact that they added nothing new to their squad and became predictable. Sidwell made a bad career move if you ask me, much like Scott Parker did when he signed for Chelsea. He had the likes of Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Jon Obi Mikel, Claude Makalele and Michael Essien to compete with. What was he thinking? |

When Chelsea comes knocking, its hard to say no. Still a bad move career wise though, barely got enuff games. And he's the bloke with the no. 9 jersey right? Gone are the days numbers like those were reserved for centre forwards.Derby was a joke. Undeservingly scraped thru the playoffs and been super poor in the league. 11 points in 38 games? Gosh. |

True, Shaun Wright Phillips made the same mistake if you can call it that, and he was knocking on England's door. Now he is behind David Bentley and Aaron Lennon in the pecking order. Speaking of no. 9's , Wasn't Bouhlarouz wearing no.9 as well? Derby was a joke. Undeservingly scraped thru the playoffs and been super poor in the league. 11 points in 38 games? Gosh. Derby's record will prove difficult to beat no doubt. Just 1 win and 8 draws??? It shows the gulf between the Premiership and the rest of the league doesn't it? Fulham should have some money to add to their squad but I'm interested to see how Sunderland will get on last season if they don't add to their squad. There is a possibility they might lose their most potent threat to me, Kenwyn Jones who has impressed. |

Bouhlarouz was on loan at Sevilla. That's why Sidwell get to use no.9.
IMY Fulham doesnt deserve to stay up. They're just lucky because their gain form so last minute. |

Speaking of no. 9's , Wasn't Bouhlarouz wearing no.9 as well? the diffrent between reading/derby and sunderland is...Keane got $ to spend on..he can buy 1 keeper for 10m...reading cant...derby also cant...Thats y...seeing how active they were in previous transfer market, you can predict already...Derby's record will prove difficult to beat no doubt.

They're just lucky because their gain form so last minute. wat were to blame is just Lawrie sanchez's mismanagement... |
