Lehmann makes far too many errors imo. Decent keeper, but overrated because he plays for Arsenal. Same for VDS actually, no-one would have said he was one of the best when he was at Fulham.

"Gremlins" ffs. I'm embarrassed for them.

I can't think of Andy Townsend without thinking of his tactics truck.

Spot on. Should have been kicked out the Premiership when he spat on a child (spat on a child ffs!) at the Riverside. http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/2535/dioufusaz8.jpg

I said something similar in the Duff thread, but the fact is its unrealistic. Just imagine it's the World Cup Final (or Champions League, whatever) and Henry is charging into the box and has a swan dive. The ref has to be absolutely certain, zero question at all, in order to send him off. Then you have to factor reputations into it too - are players known as divers like Cristiano Ronaldo and Henry are going to be "gone after"? What happens when a player cleans up his act like Drogba? I appreciate your basic sentiment, agree wholeheartedly, but applying it would be a nightmare! Henry isn't really known as a diver. Are you kidding me?!? After Cristiano Ronaldo who is the next worse diver in the league? Robben tbh.

If a player dives, the opposition should then be granted one free foul to use on them in the remainder of the game, no matter how bad it may be - on the principle that: "if you want something to scream, chuck yourself to the floor and writhe in agony about, here it is". I wish. Soon stamp it out though (literally).

It'd be the biggest fucking party you've ever seen.

When there's been a foul committed. For example, Taylor's leg was taken, but he could probably have stayed on his feet if he'd really made an effort, but would certainly have stumbled and probably lost the ball. The ref's too soft to give one for an infringement like that, even though he would give it everywhere else on the field, so going down is that situation is fair enough imo. Not sure I buy this "oh well there was contact" stuff though. It's a contact sport and it takes a lot more than an arm on the shoulder to send a grown man and a professional athlete sprawling to the ground. Contact's not enough for me to justify throwing yourself down with an agonised look on your face.

There was absolutely fuck all contact. Big difference between making sure you get given a clear foul (Taylor on Saturday) and cheating, which was what Duff did.

Shocking dive.

Job done. Pity about the crappy goal conceded (from a set-piece too - shock!) but decent performance, never in any real bother.

When Dwight Yorke was pissing himself laughing down by the corner flag in front of the Newcastle fans at Ewood as he warmed up to the sound of "she got shagged in the jungle!" and "one Peter Andre!" after Jordan had been on that jungle programme.

Is it? In what way? If one of our players told the starting line up of our side to an opposition player, I wouldn't give a fuck. Makes absolutely no difference to what happens on the field.

Class, haven't seen that for ages.

I love Obafemi Martins' celebrations, not just the flips, but the fact he always does that mega-pumped up thing to the crowd when he finishes the flip. His celebration against Spurs away was the best. No flips, no bollocks, just look like you're fucking mega fired up, get on with the game, set Nicky Butt up for the winner then you can piss about. Class, love that kid. Hilarious a few weeks ago when Everton equalised late on and Johnson went to celebrate at the corner flag, and Moyes went fucking mental and ran down to tell them to kick off again.

Seriously, who goes into the cafe anyway? Wouldn't dream of it.

OMG PALACE PLAYER LEAKS STARTING XI TO OPPOSITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking hell, who cares? Surely they could have worked it out for themselves anyway, Jesus.

Last I heard, he was still trying to get down to that shot Campo had at the Reebok. It's only taken him 5 months, he'll get there eventually.

Can't argue with my point that Robinson was at fault for all 3 at SJP then? Didn't think so. You'd think you'd have learned your lessson after Shay, with a little help from Oba "Not as good as Berbatov... honest!" Martins, won us three points at WHL, as Fat Cunt Robinson made another arse of himself.

He was clearly at fault for all three at SJP. Should have done better with Huntington's and Butt's at WHL as well. mackems.gif good one Erm... yes. Hopelessly out of position on the first, letting Dyer pass the ball into the net from 25 yards, let a soft header from Martins go under him on the second and spilled a Milner free kick for the third.

Yeah you know this for a fact because your part of the newcastle coaching staff. I doubt very much what your saying because Harper looks like a mistake waiting to happen. Wait a minute,wasnt he the guy that gifted Defoe a goal at the lane a couple of season ago? Harper's kicking is dreadful. Better than Robinson's though, at least Harps makes contact. http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/72145421.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF19390335F8FA9CA92A690D2D05008CBC2E7EC7C5022FB410D56 Damn this pitch!

He was clearly at fault for all three at SJP. Should have done better with Huntington's and Butt's at WHL as well.

Has kingdawson never heard of hype? I remember the media going on about Danny Cadamarteri and Francis Jeffers like they were the next big thing, not to mention some of those famous wonderkids at Spurs, like Rohan Ricketts.

A poor SEASON? It's a "once in a blue moon" occasion for Shay Given to have a poor game ffs.

Sven Goran Eriksson who most people agree did a pretty bloody poor job as England manager considering the resources he had? Steve McClaren who has had a shocking start as England boss and who Middlesbrough fans were absolutely delighted to get rid of? David Platt who got sacked as U-21 manager cos he was shite?
