Link?

Catania fans have a reputation for this sort of thing as well and it's no surprise to see them involved in this.

Why? this had nothing to do with European competition.

A Muslim scores for the Yids.

Don't be taking the name of the Lord God in vain there, Jonny. In vain mate, he's one of my favourite players of all time, the best centre half I've ever seen play over here in my time that's for sure.

Say ooh aah Paul McGrath!

One thing that has pissed me off this season is the fact every opportunity people like to mention how great Gerrard is in the centre and how awful he is on the right, did these people not see how many goals he scored last season when he was playing on the right and how much better he appeared to be playing?

That goal was simply awesome. One of my favourite Shearer ones that no one ever gives a mention to was the one away at Chelsea in his first season here, absolutely world class.

Any notice since that injury Shearer never seemed to take those free-kicks like he did versus Wimbledon when he scored his first goal for us?

Racist.

Well he was, he lead two lives like an undercover agent, the confident happy go lucky public and on pitch Gazza, and the deeply toubled and tourtoured real Gazza in private. Have you read his book? Very good read (he's an arsehole and I don't feel any sympathy for him myself) but he's an interesting and complex character. Slightly off topic but have you read Paul McGrath's book mate? one of the best defenders I've ever seen and that was when he was getting on in years with all of the knee trouble, really if any defender had it all this man would be it. He'd walk into any side in the world today with his talent.

I've said this many time before, he is thick as fuk. I bet his IQ is borderline retarded. I'm not trying to be funny or nasty, but you can just tell the lad is missing a brain. It has to come naturally to him, or not at all. That's why parts of his game are excellent, and have been from day dot, and why other parts just haven't caught up. I hoped it was case of not telling him once, but 10 times, then i thought maybe he needs telling 100 times, but the reality is it could be 1000 times before it sinks in. I still think it could, and why i wouldn't be too quick to release for free. The last throw of the dice is Pearson for me. He was starting to improve, just like all the defenders when Pearson came in, then picked up an injury, so we haven't had the full on Pearson effect on Titus, maybe this guy can crack him, fingers crossed. What gets me is some thick players have forged great careers for themselves over the years. Look at Gazza, thick as whale's spunk, but a fine footballer. They even say the less their head is filled with shite, i.e. the less they think, the more able they are to concentrate on their game and develop. So what is Bramble's problem? Saying it's his IQ just seems to easy an answer for me, not to mention harsh as lets face it, none of us know the man. The way he speaks and his quiet nature doesn't mean he's thick. I reckon it's his attitude to the game, his game and himself. He's the Emile Heskey of defenders. Completely different though not having to think in Gazza's position, as his game was based on instinct and the things Gazza could do with a football definitely can't be taught, whereas playing at the back you need to be taught drills etc. OK, I'll raise ya: Woodgate? Touche, but you also have to remember the fact Gazza is probably the most talented player this country has ever produced and Woodgate if it weren't for injuries would have been one of the greatest defenders we've ever produced. Woodgate is also a highly intelligent footballer and is one of the best readers of a game out there whereas Bramble isn't so players like that do really need to be taught drills etc.

Ah yes but this is our coaching staff. So you're saying Pearson is over-rated? Couldn't tell you at the moment as I can't say I'm all too familiar with how he operates. Although I can guarantee he's more use than Terry Mac. The Human Clipboard Stand.

Barnes wasn't too bad from what I remember that season, chipped in with a fair amount of goals. Pearce also done a good job, Rush was shite though.

Not like them, weapons of mass destruction, now the Gooch. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Sounds rather Shakespearean.

Just saw it there on Goals On Sunday, absolutely superb.

Because Viana's a centre midfielder and at the time was rated as one of the hottest prospects of continental football.

I really hope this injury has put into perspective how important playing for us really is to Owen.

The headline didn't say Melanie now did it.

Those were the days, bring back the Cup Winners Cup as well.
