Bad Mongo

So you didn't see him against Reading, then?

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the boy has some talent, but from time to time just can't be arsed to pass the ball to someone in his own team. He's let the club and the fans down too many times.

Also another midget.

And the cynic in me says the controversial transfer will be completed today, so that it can be overshadowed by England.

The first radical, thought provoking and intelligent post in this thread. blueyes.gif Suggesting 4-2-2 is radical, but neither thought-provoking nor intelligent.

Oh, come on. Stalin never killed people for those reasons. He killed them for political reasons, and because of paranoia. He may have been a brutal, mass-murdering lunatic tyrant, but he was no bigot.

I think it's OK as long as he's fit to play football (which includes being in a team, of course). It's not like his job is to supervise children. He's a footballer, and a few disciplinary problems aren't as bad then as using performance-enhancing drugs. His violent temper isn't going to be a part of his identity as a 'role-model', but being a lazy spoilt brat is part of Dyer's. We're not putting people at risk by signing him, and we aren't cheating at the game of football. We need a few right bastards now that Bellamy and Bowyer have left.

I believe I used Stalin for my avatar for a long time. No worse than Souness, tbh.

In my country, all advertising for alcoholic drinks is prohibited. But surely children shouldn't be taught that bland drinks like Carlsberg and Carling are real beer anyway.

Re: the poll. Happy? No, but excited. I have no idea how this will work out. It's a huge gamble. I tend to like them during the summer. Gives me something to look forward to.

Based on the Norwegian league so far this season (it starts in the spring up in the cold North), I think that's a reasonable idea. He's a good player, seems fairly consistent too.

What?! NO! I like Steffen Iversen, but he'll never be a Premiership player again. You have no idea how much faith Rosenborg have put into him when he's been off form; he's been allowed to play himself into form instead of doing his job in training. He's good for Rosenborg (and, to a degree, for Norway), but that's because he's treated as someone special. In England, he was perpetually injured.

Was shite against Malta today, and subbed off after 60 minutes at 1-0. The game ended 4-0 to Norway. Edit: Apparently, he had some stomach problem, so it can be excused.

According to his agent Rune Hauge (who is a crook and a liar) Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham also want him. But maybe if we could send Duff in the other direction. Nah.

A clock which has stopped shows the correct time twice a day. This list can only do one right out of 403.

If Oba leaves, we'll need Nani for his celebrations.

You're obviously correct, but the feeling of schadenfreude (why don't you English people get your own word for that?) is a whole lot stronger when Liverpool lose to an inferior team (on the day).

Maldini was worse than Bramble tonight, tbh.

Yes, there are. They don't react much to petty bickering, though. Just don't post Youtube clips or fixture lists.

He's injured most of the time, so he won't do much harm. The rest of the time, he's distinctly average.

Apparently not going back to Oz after all. http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=467943&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=&title=Moore+snubs+Roar+bid I hope he signs for Sunderland.

Well, Scharner is quite good at attacking set pieces. Of course, that won't help when the free kick hits the first defender.

Paul Scharner would also give us one thing we sorely lack: height. He's tall, and knows how to head a ball. We might as well buy Raymond Kvisvik and start scoring from corners (joke).

So when playing away to Man U, we'll field a team of midgets who beat the opposition to death with a stick. Sounds good to me.

A definite improvement for our defence, and without spending money at all. Sam is a genius.
