The College Dropout

I'm surprised by people being surprised by Boro lol. Their a decent team who play decent football... a sturdy defence.. a sturdy midfield they just lack fire power. A mid table team really... like us

Carr hasn't looked too bad. Keep him, put Beye in the middle of defence and ave Faye in midfield. Even though Jenas and Parker got slated for their square passes at least they kept the ball... Butt was terrible.

This lot might get relegated.

2 seconds from killing myself...

Fuck

Aye he has a great engine, brilliant positioning, rarely looses the ball and is great in the tackle. But seriously, you're actually right.. it's sad that we depend on such a shit player. O'Neill went close there.

Get in!!! Owen's aerial ability is his best asset these days.

Smith will end the goal drought today. I can feel it.

Michael Owen? Spot on Shak... the Rooney love-in wont last forever though and he'll get crucified for the smallest thing when it happens.

Also I knew S'Land where getting promoted for a few weeks/months. I had time to get used to it and I like the Mackems being in the Premiership every few years anyway. I was laughing @ half-time when L'Pool was in Istanbul (i even know where the fuckers won it) and was shocked when it was all over... terrible day.

It might have been for you. Aye I don't live in the NE but nobody in the country could hide from the L'Pool wankfest that lasted many, MANY months. I hope L'Pool beat the Mackems today though.

He usually sticks in two or three decent games in, then goes on a run of about 20 s**** ones lol. I don't know. Ramos has changed the first team somewhat since he's arrived but Jenas seems to have started & played well in most of the matches I've seen him in. The whole team played brilliantly against Arsenal but Jenas was really at the heart of things... got a goal and an assist and seemed to be involved with everything. Played well against Manure as well... not in a Parker way but by actually playing good football.

Liverpool winning the CL was worse than the Mackems getting promoted and winning the Championship. Much worse.

Spurs really deserved to beat Manure. Woodgate & Jenas both played superbly. Whenever I've seen Jenas recently he's been very impressive. Brilliant against Arsenal and he & Huddlestone dominated today.

Aye... he still does blatant diving but he's cut most of it out, same with Drogba (can't say the same for Joe Cole). All he needs now is the medals before we can talk about an all-time great. What makes the Zidane's different from your Rivaldo's is scoring the goals in the big games and getting your team to the finals of big tournaments. Zidane has 3 world cup final goals.. led France to the final in 2006 and scored a magnificent winning goal in the Champions League Final. Man Utd. look very strong this year... Ronaldo has a good chance of having a huge impact on who wins the Champions League this season.

Bramble and especially Jenas didn't seem to get in to much, if any trouble whilst they were here. They might not have been popular or good footballers but their friendship was probably a good thing. Bramble was involved in that dodgy incident in the London hotel room (that Dyer paid for) was he not? Yeah i think he was but he was innocent of anything so you can't use that against him. Him being friends with Dyer & Jenas was probably a good thing for the team.

Thread should've been closed here.

I thought Drogba was shit in his first season.. called him a waste of money.. then he was decent/good in his second season and then absolutely phenomenal the next... smh

Sib did far better for us than anyone could have expected. Top bloke, average footballer. Aye. He wasn't all that shit. Smith or Sib???

It's also easy when you're shit. Turn up, sit in silence, boo when we concede, go home. Piece of piss really.

Easy like isn't it Scholes only did it once Vs Bradford. Has Rooney done it ever? And I'm sure Scholes did it more than once. How old is Rooney? How old is Scholes? 20 something and 30 something. Where's my Blue Peter badge?

The fuck has happened to Dowie's voice. Sounds like a paedofile.

Aye. I thought stuttered run-ups were banned.

Ferdinand is the best defender in the country. A little under-rated by Premiership and England fans. A better defender than JT, King and Woodgate with ease.
