Fucking commentary... shite. Worse than C5, tbh.

Warren?

Decent player when he was here first time, imo. Don't know why everyone's putting him down when, tbh.

I'm not sure this is a new thing. A lot of Sibs game for us has been based on these little flicks and touches for players to run on to.

I watched the entire match again this evening. I think our first half performance was probably as good as we've played for a year or more. I still think Parker was disappointing, and we definitely lost conhesion in the second half. Seemed to be a lot of tired players and sloppy passing. For the first AZ goal, it's a difficult one to apportion blame: I don't think Bramble could've done much, and even Taylor could be forgiven, I think, as it was a great diagonal run that was difficult for a CB heading towards goal to cover: a midfielder should've gone with him. Sometimes, you just have to hold your hands up and say they deserved to score.

It's that photo of SBR, it makes you look like you know what you're talking about.

Aye, me and my dad were in the East stand and Duff was standing just in front of us with no one in about 15 yards of him and Martins just dribbled into a wall of defenders and lost posession. Duff went aboslutely bonkers. Terrible service yesterday.

I 100% agree with Morph: his all-round game is rubbish. Worse than Shola's in fact. His first touch is terrible, his passing is wayward. His decision-making, his awareness of colleagues, his anticipation, the runs he makes (or, more often, doesn't make). But he can turn a match in the blink of an eye and he's got some magic about him.

True. Don't think he was outstanding today, like, but it's hard to judge as his partnership with Parker is rubbish.

I loved the first half: a great game to watch. Second half, imo, we were really poor. Martins pisses me off sometimes. Second half he was infuriating: what's the point of laying a ball off to a winger if you can't then be arsed to get into the box? He comes too deep, his first touch is AWFUL 50% of the time, his awareness is shocking at times, he's goes down like a fairy. If he wasn't such an exciting player with a great shot I'd really have a go at him. I was really disappointed with Almaar after all I'd heard about them. They barely turned up in the first half and we had to really play poorly in the second to give them another goal. They looked intimidated quite honestly. Maybe it'll be different at their ground. Having said that once they got the ball down, you can see they can pass it around, good movement from their forwards and a number of good through-balls that could've paid off. We've got to defend better over there. Parker & Butt were a mixed bag for me. For every tackle they won, they gave ball back just as much. I think Parker's problem is this: he works very hard, he's got an excellent football brain but he lacks the ability to pull off more than half of what he wants to do. Lastly, Carr was shit and why did no one give the ball to Duff?

Just a polite round of applause, a quick handshake from Parker, and on with the match. Let's not degrade it, but let's not make a big deal out of it either.

He was wrong about that. he won the world cup. What a crazy time! That's something we'll never forget... http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/6032/huckercupok4.jpg

Tbh, I don't really rate Hleb. And Baptista is just the Brazilian Shola Ameobi.

He was wrong about that.

Fabregash, more like.

Could you possibly be insinuating that Bramble is perhaps not a model professional? Outrageous!

I have heard it called the Cathedral, but none of that other shit.

The real answer is no, but he's been so disappointingly average and stupid that he seems much worse than he is.

I am going, first UEFA match this season. I'm taking my dad, so if we're not up to much I'll hear him moan about it for the rest of the month.

Utterly shit. So many poor performances it's untrue. Boro were fucking hopeless and it was simply a case of breaking down a poor team: something we couldn't do. Dyer was shit, but Martins wasn't far behind. Milner and Zog were both very frustrating. I thought Gooch looked very dodgy at times. Parker was probably our best player, but that's not saying much, tbh. REALLY disappointing, Glen. You must do better against distinctly average teams like this at home.

I'm not sure this phrase means what you think it means.

'Joysuz. Oim so shoit oi even warnta kick moi own ead in.'

Look, mate, you're not going to play for Real Madrid again. You should accept that.

Arf!

I think it looks alright, too, actually. I know that it'll get a sponsor on, but I wish we'd introduce a kit for a season with no sponsor: would look the business, imo.
