  1. Decent half. They definitely went all out in the first 30 or so, wonder if they'll feel it around 60-70 minutes. Got to hope Steed doesn't, at the least. Take him out and their moves are going to have most of the bite taken out. Cisse is quick but he's containable.
  2. "Coloccini ... whose mane has just been battered by the north-east winds" Nice to hear commentators concerned about his hair
  3. SHOLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Just about as nervously excited as I've been in a long time. Think we'll score early and proceed to dominate them. Just the anticipation of that first goal is killing me.
  5. FA Toughens Task For My Roy's Boys By Overturning Beye's Red By Lousie Taylor
  6. fan fucking tastic. You're still a turd, Styles.
  7. I would think a 5 to 6 place improvement was possible before Keegan threw his toys out of the pram. Possibly but isn't the whole point of this wonderful structure to build a squad and club which achieves its target regardless of managerial comings and goings? Oh FFS. Honestly NJS. "Managerial comings and goings" is a ridiculous bit of semantic play to try and apply to this situation just to beat up on the "structure". Unless you genuinely believe the spirit and intent of such a structure is one that would be immune from ill effects even if it changed managers every two weeks. Which of course it isn't. No structure is. Just as no structure is equipped to handle the shitstorm of a cult icon manager walking out in a huff at the end of a summer transfer window. DoF or not we'd be in the same shape right now. So you're saying KK would have walked away at the end of August if he HAD been able to pursue the players HE wanted? No. You utterly fail at reading comprehension. edit: ok that's mean. But my entire post had nothing to do with the "why's" of Keegan leaving, only the effects that it had on the club; that it's not the point of any structure, DOF enabled or not, to deal with that kind of blow and maintain expectation/achivement. Pointing it out as though it's an inherent flaw is ridiculous. I was simply asking a question. Your patronising patter in response not only smacks of someone with his head up his arse, but fails to address the notion (naive as it may appear to a man of your obvious intellect) that the fact that Keegan left might just expose our DOF structure (as was, now that TJ has also walked out) as flawed. Sorry, but what you think of me doesn't change the fact you missed the point of my post by about 3000 miles and instead responded with an NE5ish bit of questioning that amounted to putting words in my mouth. I don't react well to that.

  9. That would be a very good move for him, top quality football but less physical and fast paced than the premiership. Wonder if he wishes he had never gone to America now? if http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/beckham-rejected-milan-and-inter-to-take-galaxy-millions-431736.html is correct it's hard to blame him. A £128m over 5 years deal is absolutely mind boggling, regardless of how much of it was incentive based.

  11. don't think he's done anything particularly wrong, Carroll is probably better to hold it up.
  12. What do you want? Bar Martins we're slower to a man and also a man down. Really is it that surprising they have all the posession?
