Once again fair enough Gullit. I have respect for him, he gave it a shot and has always been honest about his opinions.

Gutted for Zog ... we'll have to put up with Duff again too

Blackburn v Nancy (1-0) Fenerbahce v Eint Frankfurt (2-2) Espanyol v Austria Vienna (1-0) Palermo v Celta Vigo (1-1) Chelsea v Newcastle (1-0) Wigan Athletic v Arsenal (0-1) were to real scores then... got 2 results right.. still win the contest though by default, oh yeah

hate games like these... don't think I'll even bare watching it

Had we been talking about a game like NUFC v Reading like last week (at home against beatable oposition) then I would have said wait for sure. If you like to do that sort of thing... I'd never do it personally, would rather follow it live, even if only text. Whereas in this case (Chelsea away) I wouldnt bother letting to pressure build for nearly a day when the chances of an anticlimax are so high, no way

Blackburn v Nancy (1-1) Fenerbahce v Eint Frankfurt (2-0) Espanyol v Austria Vienna (1-1) Palermo v Celta Vigo (2-1) Chelsea v Newcastle (4-0) Wigan Athletic v Arsenal (1-3)

If we do win, I'd love it to be a sucker punch too like a crappy, scrappy 1 yard wallop in the 93rd minute. ... Shame Chelsea'll win 4-0 though.

That is the reason I personally never took to Robson ,if he was the supporter he told us he was over and over again,surely he would have told Barcelona. 'Look my home team are after me can I go'? but he never did and he knocked us back.That never rang true with me.Any real fan would give their right ball to play for their home team never mind manage them.I always thought he came to us when his options ran out in Spain,and as Indigo indicated(for different reasons )it was too late for us. Rhubarb. Robson was under contract at Barca and stated that he would honour it as he felt he had not given the job a fair crack. It's a funny thing! I see that (him wanting to honour his contract at Barca) as even more of a credit to the man he is. Robson was quite simply a saviour for what he did at the club in the first 4years.

Not sure about that tbh, was off his line and caught completely unawares! Wasn't like Taylor hit a floater than just went it, he hit it with some power, a complete snap shot and the amount it dipped was amazing! It's called gravity.... ... just nullified the rest of your opinion tbh

At least he didn't take a large payoff though. Souness did a hell of a lot of damage and still fucked off with his pockets bulging! I'll always have "some" respect for Gullit for that reason. Exactly. I don't find myself hating Gullit... didn't when he left, don't now. He was given the job, he had a go and he failed. I remember what the situation was like this time last year and all the way to Feb2006 and it was ridiculous... Souness starting the give out hints like "the most important thing to me is my family..." cunt.

I voted no. But at the same time agree with the Bonk in a way

Can't believe someone would use Howard's positioning to discredit Taylor's goal. The reason why it was a goal was because the shot was just too perfect. PS: :wullie:

Personaly, I've always prefered the long range missiles/volleys to the dribble practice ones.

like that's gonna make a difference to them! Yes and no... I mean sure they may have an almost unlimited pot of money, but paying over £30m for a player who turns out to be (relatively speaking) shite will not bode well with fans/people at the club.

Quite the contrary in my opinion! An instinctive volley from 40yards(?) means quick feet placement/adjustement, and then hitting the ball with as much power as possible yet still being able to apply the dip. Had Taylor scored Essien's goal and Essien scored a volley like Taylor's there wouldnt even be a debate. Anyway this is evidently splitting opinions, so not much point arguing much more.

Keep him playing for it then it that's what making him perform like he is tongue.gif .. but give it to him the end

oh yeap, NUFC are a great side to put you back in your stride. We sure helped Kuyt get into the swing of things.

Having lived in Pompey for almost 18 months, I can understand why people wouldnt be looking forward to the trip there. The home parts of the ground are okay I guess, but that away stand is simply a hole.

6 points would be a very good return from those seven games.

Don't agree with that at all actually.

"you're" ... sorry

Hell no, it wasn't. Taylor's goal was pure luck, Essiens shot was simply brilliant. Taylor's goal for GotM.

And the old argument against that ... the "you don't understand, he acts like that to attract all the attention on to him blabla" is tiresome too. No, he's just simply a twat.

Meh, he's just an attention whore who loves to be proved right.

For a second I thought he was never going to make it back from his "hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" of reflection over the question though.
