  1. I'd love it if we took something off them due to either a dive or a free kick which we moved to improve the angle. Stupid Cockney tossers
  2. It's Gerry Armstrong, surely?
  3. Jonathan Pearce used to go nuts over everything, he seems to have mellowed a bit since joining the beeb, which is a shame. Tyler and Davies are my favourites, shame Davies has retired.
  4. I'm not being sexist here, but I can't take this seriously for some reason.
  5. Man City - Dyer missed an open goal Chelsea - Awful, always is Blackburn - Had Dabizas sent off in the first 5 minutes, 2-0 down, got back to 2-2, slighlty unlucky goals such as the OG Man Utd - Yeah fair enough, Solskjaer forearm smash on Hughes still annoys me to do this day. Bolton - 4-1, back to 4-3, Uriah Rennie. Man Utd - They were amazing, we didn't help Fulham - Griff sent off, low on confidence after 2 defeats. Villa - Shearer nearly knocked out, poor performance but we limped towards the finishing line. Title had long gone and top 4 was pretty secured. We put 5 past Blackburn shortly after that I seem to remember
  6. I'm not the most optimistic of people but I've just done the Premiership predictor on the BBC site and have us finishing 9th, losing tomorrow and winning our last 3 (unlikely, perhaps) The other teams around us have some tough games in the run in and I have Pompey down to lose their last 4, as they have home games against Liverpool and Arsenal and away games at Everton and Villa (tomorrow) http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2113/prempredictor21stapril3bc5.jpg (Don't think I've crapped on any fixtrue copyrights there but if I have feel free to massacre the post)
  7. Nobby's winner in the snow at Elland Road, Shearer's late deflected strike in the 4-3 over Man Utd, the 3-1 win at Highbury - magic.
  8. Well, you've got to believe a certain Bellamy would have played the full season when fit instead of being farmed out on loan and who knows what would have happened, there's no way of telling unfortunately. I reckon we would have been top 6, we certainly wouldn't have dropped as many points as we did.
  9. If we sacked him in the summer I would have no problem, the new manager would have 2 months to mould it as he should wish and then January to tweak it. Maybe not ideal but better than waiting until the end of August and sacking someone as per usual.
  10. They didn't give him real money though. Carr - 2m, Butt - virtually nowt Kluivert - virtually nowt. Milner - a few mill. A whole summers transfers for less than we paid for martins Well it's not so much the money it's the fact that they let him build his squad and then replaced him with a man who then wanted his own squad and spent a season blaming the fact that it wasn't his squad and thus dismantled it which meant yet another transition season which led to his sacking and the appointment of Roeder. The cycle is currently on repeat
  11. In Bobby's book he says he asked Dyer to recommend him a signing and after Butt was suggested and signed you would have thought Dyer and Bob were best pals, but Dyer did his twat act at Boro and the rest is history. I blame the loss against Partizan for everything. Ever.
  12. I don't think many will disagree that the timing of the sacking was wrong, I mean why give him money and then sack him. It was just pointless. It's fairly well documented that Bobby had lost the confidence of some players (Dyer/Boro incident springs to mind) and after the summer where Speed was sold behind Bobby's back the writing was on the wall. It was shambolic of FS to treat Bobby like that after what he'd done, all supposedly because of a poor performance in the UEFA semis. A victim of his own success?
  13. The season prior to his sacking (when we came 5th) was a shadow of the previous 2, long ball football, looking for Shearer to flick it on, Bellamy was out injured for a lot of the season IIRC and we became quite efficient at beating poor sides at home but we kept throwing away late points away (Pompey, Blackburn, Birmingham spring to mind, probably others) and we had the occassional poor home result. Suppose you could blame our European run to the semis as it gave us a bit of a fixture pile up but the quality of football had generally decreased
  14. Well we still had every chance of winning the league when we played at home to Man Utd and lost 6-2, had we won that and then at Goodison instead of 2 defeats then we would have been in with every chance.
  15. Finished 5-1, Ameobi and NSG's other favourite Godsmark added 2nd half goals. In hindsight I should stop taking the piss out of NSG for his love of reserve players and credit him as a good spotter of player potential

    £4,875,000

    It's 500k a place or soemthing ridiclous like that. On the last day a few years ago we lost £1.5 million due to goal difference.
  17. In all seriousness, it's getting harder to ignore the lad with all these goals he's scoring and I hope he's given a chance to start before the end of the season.
  18. 3-1 Carroll hat-trick NSG has been arrested for Jizzing in public

    Squad Numbering

    When we played Lillestrom at home we had numbers 7 and 11 up front, which was Milner and Luque. Go figure.
  20. If he says "Tomorrow is a good day, I'm with my family" then the de ja vu is complete and we can start counting the days.
