Err, no it isn't, how do you work that out!? Smith and Kuyt are both similar, they are not penalty box strikers, more like forwards who operate outside of the box using their stamina, work rate and battling skills to harass the opposition and to toil away for their more skilled team-mates, while chipping in with a few goals and efforts at goal themselves. Play Smith up top in a run of games and you'd get pretty much the same out of him as Liverpool do with Kuyt. Ashton and Shearer though? The similarities end in their nationality as individuals. Ashton is more akin to Viduka than anyone else, especially Shearer. Smith isn't in the same league as kuyt skill wise. He's been a major factor in their good start this season. Skill-wise? Kuyt's hardly fucking Rivaldo. I'm with the coach: can't see that much difference between Smith and Kuyt, tbh. Kuyt probably a better finisher but I don't particularly rate either of them.

Comparing Kuyt to Shearer is like comparing Tesco mince with fillet mignon.

Aye, much more postive about this season as a whole. Not sure if that's because we look a bit better as a team, or that the PL has improved. Bit of both, I think. The kind of matches you wouldn't touch in the past have started to look interesting: Blackburn v Citeh, etc.

Milner's an ugly cunt who wears boring boots. He's shit, man, face it.

He's an excellent player to have in the squad, but our outlay for him means that we find it necessary to have him in the starting XI. I'm not sure it helps that the owner loves him to bits, an aal.

Ashton is the best partner for Owen when fit, imo.

Liverpool.

Wasn't really his fault, tbh. Bit of a dive by Santa Cruz, I think.

Don't see how he can be dropped. What kind of message would it send out? 'Doesn't matter how well you're playing, I'll pick the established players regardless'?

Tugay was also sent off, btw, for a dive by Hamann.

Another shite refereeing performance at Ewood by the looks of it.

Cagliari deserve something out this, I reckon.

Can't be arsed with this diving. It's a joke.

munble...ahrmfix..hmm....coughbung

It's all happening!

Nice goalkeeping.

Nedved's challenge was a bit fucking naughty, there.

Went to Trillions in full goth makup, so probably wasn't recognised.

Tbh, I think they both want her unless they're mental or gay. She's not very good at doing anything but looking foxy, like.

Heard he ran his legs off, covered every blade of grass, pulling strings.

That Del Piero's shit. What was that?!

Fucking boring, tbh. Only half-watching.

Think Given is the better keeper, but he probably needs a kick up the arse as much as anyone else.

Shola if he's about. Very good pen taker.

This Cagliari pitch looks tiny.
