  1. While you are on the subject of spelling and grammar, it is Caçapa by the way. Not Cacapa.
  2. Why is he called nicknamed Rocky?
  3. If he is manager of the week every week it would mean we are doing well.
  4. Number three is bullshit. as much as it pisses you off when the opposition does it, you have to admit it is a very effective tactic of ensuring three points. The ball is in play. If the opposition want it, come and get it. Shearer was the master of it. I don't think your point about whether it's the opposition or your own team is relevant. If the tactic is penalised, then everyone would be equally better off in the long run. The whole thing seems to be getting out of hand, because players are now getting better at it. They're able to waste a couple of minutes now while the ball gets hacked out about half a dozen times. They're also starting to do it not in the last minute, but when there's about five minutes to go. To me, it just doesn't look like football, and it's lousy to watch. The only argument against as far as I can see is whether it's not possible for refs to distinguish that tactic from other forms of play. You wouldn't want the ref to blow up the second an attacker took the ball anywhere near the corner flag in the last few minutes. But I think in practice it's quite easy to spot when a player is deliberately blocking the ball in that position with no object in mind other than wasting time. Whatever, it's worth a go, surely. You can't say that it's something that's really worth preserving for the good of the game. Are you seriously serious? It's called possesion. It's allowed. Keeping the ball. There's is no way you could penalise this, even if you wanted to.
  5. They go in for goalkeeping over there, much better with their hands than their feet. Remember Rocky in Escape to Victory? What a keeper!
  6. One. Game. Man! I blame the internet. They never used to print the league tables in the papers (maybe they did in the pink, cant remember) until at least 3 games in. Hoping for a city massacre tonight with Elano the ringleader as I took a chance and made him captain in the fantasy footy.
  7. I've never seen him play before. He sounds like a good player and I hope he proves to be as if he çan read the game and tidy things up a la Woodgate, it will benefit not only the team, but young Mr Taylor too. Sounds good, just a little unsure as I have never really rated Brazillian defenders. Not at defending anyway.
  8. how the fuck should i know where the ç symbol is on the keyboard? Dunno. No need to fuçking swear though, you çunt.
  9. It's not Casapa. Or Cacapa. It's Caçapa. Heathens
  10. Not any more, thanks to Big Sam's wise words the other day. I fully expect all players to get 100% support on Saturday. Even Carr. If they don't, we don't deserve to challenge for anything this season.
  11. I would imagine coming in by helicopter cuts a good half hour off the journey, meaning he can stay in bed longer in the morning. Clever.
  12. Oops. might wanna remove that link before they get you Turnip is a bit harsh like. I was being a good citizen. I would accept radish though.
  13. Oops. might wanna remove that link before they get you
  14. It won't be. We will score within 20 minutes then proceed to dismantle the brummie half-wits with an breathtaking display of luck and sexual virility
