Horrid game that.

Amazingly, I think James is spot on. Fat wanker was a joke, in all honesty. Great to see Owen performing, really bodes well for his future as he needs to change his game to be a top striker again and he's showing signs that he might be able to do it. Keegan has been a god-send for him tbh.

And on that farm he had a chick, the swinginest chick I know!! ;D

You bitter, bitter man.

Martins went down the wing, skinned O'Hara and cut inside. Played it to Viduka who deftly flicked it on for Owen who arrived and sidefooted it first time into the corner. Beautiful goal tbh.

KEVIN FUCKIN KEEGAN!!! Three strikers all doing what they do best there.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes you realise just how shit Allardyce was that it seems like such a big deal that we've gone behind and not then crumbled completely. There's actually a bit of pride in watching us again. We're not there yet, but at least we're trying to actually play football again.

He on fire, So hot on fire.... Nicky BUTT BUTT BUTT!!!!!

What was the point of the post then? Just a tidbit for us all to mull over?

Messi knows full well how good he is, otherwise he wouldn't try some of the things he does. The guys you mention were just more visibly arrogant.

I think Messi has that aura about him tbh, so rarely loses the ball and almost always does something positive with it. Some of those Barcelona games early in the season were awe inspiring, such a buzz every time he got the ball. He's only 20 as well and figures to improve a lot, which is easy to overlook. I maintain that if he could stay fit he'd be the better player than Ronaldo, but sadly he does look injury prone. With that in mind, I'd give the nod to Ronaldo. Ability wise he does, but does he have that aura around his character or being? It's too early to tell. I think that ultimately it's your ability that gives you that aura, nothing really to do with personality. He's got the bottle for it anyway. I hope he stays injury free, it'd be a joy to see him and Cristiano go head to head for the next decade as both have the potential to be among the best ever, easily.

Or score.. Nah, fucking awful effort tbh.

What a jammy goal.

YEEEEAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

RVP misses again.

Center-back more of a need than a left-back surely? Aside from that you're about right though I reckon.

Last ten minutes at Bolton should be swank. Draw of fuck all use to either side.

As long as Bolton don't win then this day isn't a complete disaster. Birmingham were always a cert to beat City, Sven and his boys gave up playing a few weeks back. Get in Derby!

Fuckin Arsenal, bottlers.

Anyone see that Rangers player trying to cheat to win a penalty? Swung his leg into Samaras as he was going by him, then had to be stretchered off. Hope he's out a couple of months, cheating prick.

Why would Duff leave Chelsea to come here? One simple thing, GAURANTEED first-team football. If you think Duff was told by Roeder, the spineless manager that he was, that he'd have to compete for his spot on a level playing field then you're having a laugh. Competition is fine, but N'Zogbia was flat-out demoted to 2nd choice despite arguably being our best player the previous season. Meanwhile, we signed absolutely no competition for other, blatantly worse positions. Milner has played an absolute wedge of games the last two years in his favoured position (i.e either wing, he likes them both as far as I know) so that's an unusual comparison. Again, I don't really feel sorry for N'Zogbia, while I have felt bad for Shola in the past. By all accounts Zoggy seems a bit of a plonker. What I'm upset about is what an absolute abysmal attempt we've made at developing what I consider a top-notch prospect that could have set our left-wing position for a decade and given us some great memories. And we're fighting a relegation battle because we have a team full of hard-working, though ultimately fucking useless, players and haven't got anyone that can really take it to our opponets, like N'Zogbia has the potential to if we actually give him a game or two on the wing.

if he did love the club then he wouldnt have played with a career threatening injury that negatively affected his performances. he should have declared himself injured, had the surgery and come back 6 months earlier than he did to play when he's fully fit. and ill believe the £5million thing when i see it. completely mental fee.
