An N and a E and a wubble-u C.

Fingers crossed Sam will have learned his lesson and will start with Zog and Milner by the time the mackems come around. The thing I don't understand is, they're not even luxury players - they put the work in, track back etc. It's not like the decision to play a Ginola or a Robert away from home.

Can't understand playing Geremi and Emre out of position and leaving Jinky and Zog on the bench till it was too late (I assume that's how we started, was at work and just caught the last 20 minutes on the wireless on the metro home.)

One of the best things about having this kind of decision to make is that you can make the decisions based on form. I think that's what Sam's going to do. When we've actually got several premiership quality partnerships we can play I don't think it's very helpful to say who we should be playing every match. Obviously you're going to want different players for different situations, but let them play for the shirt next match. And if someone's out through injury or because of a dip in form let their replacement have a go at keeping out their squad on their return.

My Spurs fan mate was telling me it was a boring game yesterday and that we were poor but they were just worse. I agree we've yet to face a decent test like.

The Micheal Owen song (to the tune of nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye) was an unusually original chant compared with the usual "There's only one..." Reckon we could get some milage out of it by changing it to Micheal Ashley is he really does deliver long term.

Are we not 3th?

Not sure about his fitness, he looked shattered last time I saw him.

I find it hard to consider myself "entertained" when leaving a match we've lost. Watching an exciting match as a neutral is entertaining, watching an exciting match your team loses is just fucking annoying. The fact it was a good match to watch is a rather minor consolation. It certainly doesn't match the feeling of satisfaction of a job done. Or of going to meet your Spurs mate in the pub afterwards. Playing exciting football and winning is a canny bonus but fuctional wins will do me very nicely for now, ta. Not that I think we're particularly boring from a toon fans point of view anyway, especially not last night. And who gives a fuck if Setanta pundits enjoy it as much as us anyway?

Aye, probably the most enjoyable match I've been at so far this season.

Thouroughly enjoyed the boring win yesterday and all three boring goals.

Spent my entire metro journey home today helping a pissed scottish couple colour in a rangers crest thing they'd drawn because they didn't know the colours of the union flag

it's wrong That's my point.

I see the window title on the Sun page actually reads "Berbatov Slept in Spurs shirt"

Grrr. Booked off the Saturday for the Derby match as leave, when the rotas come out I'd better not be working Sun.

When I saw that interview it never even crossed my mind that it was a dig at Sam, the Sun have had to dig deep into their bullshit bank for that headline.

No cancer is nice, but colon cancer is sadly one of the worse ones because it doesn't show symptoms until it's at an advanced stage. All the best to the fella, hope he gets himself on the mend.

Maybe shit is a bit strong, but I'm certainly unimpressed. He's done very little, not looked sharp at all and his set pieces have been awful.

Geremi, after impressing pre-season, has looked shit I'm afraid. Really dissapointing. While Milner hasn't always had a great game, there have been times when he's been the only spark we've had going forward and it's baffling to me that anyone wouldn't want to hold on to him. He's a good prospect in my opinion and certainly deserved the award for last season.

Maybe it's from reading this thread, but I dreamt last night I was caretaker England boss. I was shitting it on the way to the game (in a taxi driven by Terry Venebles) because I had no idea what I was doing, but it was alright because it turns out we were playing San Marino.

Comforted my arse, he was probably going through his pockets.

Really? They're usually full of utter horrors. I've never seen a hen party, looked at the lass and thought "Lucky bloke." are you really saying girls that go on hen nights are horrors ? one of the most bizzarre quotes ever posted on here....................and that takes some doin Yep, almost without exception. I think it's probably that girls with a bit of class tend to go out in such a way that you don't know it's a hen night. Those who broadcast it with L plates, cowboy hats and t-shirts with "Shazza" or whatever on the back are usually rough as owt, aal orange skin and day-glow peroxide jobs. However my perspective on such matters may be skewed a bit from living in Whitley Bay, hardly a hen night venue of choice for the more descerning bride to be.

We look a different team when Zog is freed from his defensive duties. Mike Riley is a clueless twat.
