Would love a pencil and rubber like that though...lololololol

There are some bored people on here today

I prefer your Lynams and Motsons for any type of comment. Shearer is so dull it's unbeleivable, the rest are as bad. Collymore is 100% right, at least you would think that they would know the whole team and the subs bench pretty well. All you would have to do is spend 2-3 hours on the forums or on the club pages to find out relevant news. They also lack a bit of decent humour, Lineker I don't mind but again he's just too much of a goody two shoes!

I wear my sock pushed down over my ankles for a little bit more protection. Is there any reason for the socks up rule that you reffered to referees??? My boots are black and have loads of smaller studs on them because I find the ones with less studs a bit more likely for me to tip my ankle (had ligament damage).

That article is spot on. He offers zero insight, which is what we all want, and he can't deliver a sentence without it being full of mistakes. Read the quotes the huy puts in there, Shearer doesn't even know how to express himself in the correct tense nevermind being able to describe something of importance in a match. The minimum requirement for a pundit should be the ability to express himself. Great goalscorer and player though...

always tuck mine in, just habit rather than being taught to. Not really bothered and don't think it should be obligatory as you are imposing a "style" rather than teaching some sort of discipline or other. By this I mean who says having your shirt out is "untidy", I would say that any under-40 would disagree but any over 40 would probably think that in the last century this would have been totally unnacceptable...Sign of the times more than anything... Good thread tho'.

I also think 9 points would be a good start. We have to be realistic and expect a few more bumps in the road like the blackpool game. Mid to upper mid table would be good to look at come the start of November...

going to fish out my sock/slipper "tiotes" this evening in homage to a decent defensive centralmidfielder. P.S. He was lucky on more than one occasion whilst pirrouetting as he nearly lost the ball. For those who say that they do this forlackof options it is more like they do not have the skills to create an extra yard to get the pass away...

Barton ran the midfield today: MOM Tiote did a few too many scott parker pirrouettes for my liking:Solid performance though.

OH MY GOD

do i not like that!!

FFS

has he got a twin???

Different bloke today...

Barton MOM Ben Arfa Moment of Match Defence solid

AGREE TOTALLY; ALL OVER THE PLACE

SWEEEET LEFT PEG!!

I AM IN LOVE!!

What about Cambell at the back and Colo as right back? Give Enrique the right to maraud and we convert to three at the back?

He's got me round the bend (two smiths??). Jonas in Nolan's place

change smith for Nolan in the middle and replace smith with Jonas and we would have a decent line up??

Ok seriously: Jonas and enrique= very solid defensively and very good offensively. Jonas sometimes lacks the final ball but scares the shitt out of defenders. Perch and Routledge= not routledges fault so much but they are a nuch weaker combination and I bet my bottom dollar that if it waS JONAS AND pERCH they would be better defensively. Routledge has pace and can cross but he doesn't do it that often either...

LOL

another firestarter...
