The Bonk

Sure. Well, according to pictures, it seems like there were several flies. What I don't understand is how Barton was able to inflict so much damage to Dabo's face. Why the fuck did another City player not pull him off? Did Dabo have it coming?

Manc Derby next week, yeah? I hope you lot skin the bastards. Citeh are officially my #2 team in the Prem this year.

Craig Gardener, Barry, Taylor (I can't believe I've said that) and Young were our best players today. Otherwise we were mediocre. Liverpool wasted a lot of chances, they won't win the league until they consistently put away chances like that. On today's showing, Man United would have had 4. That is the difference. Oh, and Mike Riley put in the worst refereeing performance I've seen in years. Not sending Pennant off, giving that absurd free kick purely because Gerrard wanted it, he is a f****** c*** of the highest order. If we sign Bosingwa and Curtis Davies this week, I will return to being very optimistic. EDIT incidentally, Liverpool fans are f****** 1980s throwbacks, saw loads of trouble after the game today, and apparently it was going off around the ground during the match, as well. They want to get a f****** grip. Watched the game, mate and what I couldn't understand is that you were toothless in attack for 75mins. Then the urgency set's in and you look a different side. Opening day jitters, I assume and a squad that hasn't settled. Plus Liverpool are a good side. And yes, from a total refereeing standpoint, Mike Riley was s***. Disrupted the flow of the game numerous times. We gifted them midfield, what was the main problem. Just let them get on with it. What did you make of Reo Coker Brummie? He seemed quite one dimensional to me. Receiving a pass and then passing it to the right wing was all I really saw him do. Surprised you didnt throw Harewood in towards the end as well. Gerrards free kick wasnt a freekick like but the goal was awesome. He'll be dishing that out on the rest of us, you're not alone. When we played Inter last week, NRC was exceptional, did the simple stuff, broke up play, played nice short passes, was really very good. Today he was very poor, just not there. We really did gift them midfield, although I suspect the problem may actually be Petrov. Gardener at emergency right back has 10 times the commitment of Petrov, is a local lad who just oozes pride to wear the shirt, a very promising player, and capable of scoring the odd exceptional goal (Bolton last season), but there he is shovelled in at right back when he should be in midfield. Disappointing. Interesting point of today was that i saw more aggro at a ground than I've seen in the best part of 20 years, I reckon. A proper throwback. Carew's service was shocking, I didn't realize he was on the pitch until the 80th minute. Get the ball to him and things happen, simple as.

It beggars belief, mate. But if I take my hatred of Sunderland to another realm even though I am claiming I would turn down earning enough money in 4 years to set me up for life I am a more special fan, aren't I? Special? Like in retarded?

I think he had back-up tickets, mate. Pretty funny if you ask me.

Diouf ripped us to shreds at St James' last season. Yes I know and I was well pleased it was him getting booed. Can't stand him. He was probably their best player today. Arsehole, but a canny player like.

It beggars belief, mate.

Super Sib looked good when he came on. Bramble is a joke.

I've got Geordie blood, but show me the fucking money. I'd just wear a SMB shirt underneath my Sunlun kitty, Lee Clark Stylee.

If I were Sam I would have a smile on my face as well and take comfort in the fact that I made the right decision in leaving that shower of shit. He was unappreciated when he was there, kinda obvious in how fucking bitter they are. They'll bounce out of Europe and the top 10, deservedly. It must suck knowing you don't matter.

To think how much ManU have just spent on Hargreaves. On this kind of form Smith against let's not forget a very combative Bolton at their ground laid down the law early on (he talks a lot as well not totally silent like Parker) and never let go of his zone. Fergy had to let him go, but it looks like a mistake. Couldn't agree more, Parky. Sir Alex even said it himself.

Yeah, mate. Coverage was decent, switched over to soccercentral after the match. C-Lounge? Dropped off wor lass there once and told her to have a good night. She met me 45mins later in a right twat'ish mood.

Quality looks good, mate! Was the feed steady throughout? NcToon, did you not look at the screen shots Kanji posted?

He's no Jenas.

What'd he say? He said he had read an exclusive article in the Ronny, by Anal Oliver, that Souness was a miserable Scottish c***, and that Roeder has a wonky nose. Anal believes that this result is the best opening day result of some time for the toon, and rumours that we are going to sign Sammy Lee as our new dwarf mascot are wide of the mark!

Yes we are, other than the Martins goal.. the other two were flukes. So lets not get carried away. No harm in shooting at the net or anything flukey about that. How many fucking goals does Lampard deflect in? The lead is reflective of how we are playing, which is very well at the moment.

Well, I'm sitting in front of the Telly in disbelief. We look a completely different squad. Taylor's been a bit shakey, but can't be nothing but pleased with this effort. Well done, lads!

That was one of the best defensive performances ive seen in a long time. Aye, he single handedly destroyed Spurs.

Honestly, Moe, I think you're a good lad, but it doesn't hurt to read through some threads.

Oh, that's quality! Take a screen shot during the game tomorrow, mate!

I back this, especially with this shite revolving around Nobby and his 'supposed' wanting out. Howay Ron Geremi!

Any idea of the bitrate? I don't think I'll need the broadband, but it'll be good to know in the future.

Get a paper route. I work at Staples. My mom is willing to pay for her own Indian channels, but she says my grades will suffer and all that. Anyway, I think it's better that i pay for ir on the internet, that way I can pay for it myself without anyone knowing. I was just having you on, mate. Good lad, though.
