Re: How much is Defour really worth?
It's a message board and different opinions, I have watched football a very long time, Martin Dobson for one was better IMO of course to name one and I watched him week in week out. Defour 6 in my opinion, he is definitely playing better and my main point was regarding last season, much improved th...

Sorry you didn't the OP did which is what I picked up on. Didn't realise you had commented as oppose to the OP.
Both points still stand though IMO, Gray is NOT a terrible footballer and he DID play a major part in our Championship winning team.

Re: Score prediction against Arsenal....
Although a draw wouldn't be a bad result,there is no reason why we shouldn't win.
Winning away Chelsea and drawing away at Liverpool and Spurs suggests that we are more than good enough to mix it with the top teams.
