tbh I think Zog would make a superb left-back. He has all the qualities to do so, the trouble is depending on the system we play it might be a bit of a waste of his talents, plus with his current state of mind asking him to play in defence would probably push him over the edge..

Surely bearing in mind the Hartlepool match was on ITV we could expect someone to be showing this one though?

Man, its just a mess when it all has to go in one thread! I think you should have seperate threads for pre-match etc. Maybe even a first-half, half-time and second half thread. Depending on injuries, you could also have a time added on thread. And if it was a cup game, you could have one thread for the extra time (first half and second half) and a whole new thread for penalties! Score prediction? Carlisle 1-4 Toon

New threads are cool. Nice one. Heinze!!

The other day, my metro home from work was delayed by 45 minutes YESSSSSSSSS!!! Incidentally, how long do you reckon it takes to drive to Carlise? (from the coast btw)

Erm.. Something really interesting please. What about Luque?

Will somebody who has the ability to do so please make a new thread. I'm sick of all these old threads.

Why do you say that? I would however like to see Sheff Wed & Forest back in the EPL, and Leeds when they've suffered a bit more humiliation. I just like the fact I can say 'cunt' on this board, so throw it in occasionally for good measure

I always thought Reg Vardy was the bloke who created Neighbours and Crossroads

The cynical amongst us would want to quit while we are ahead (and get some £££) before he ruptures his neck or whatever

Sheff Wed, Wolves, Burnley, Forest, Leeds IN Blackburn, Fulham, Reading, Wigan, Boro OUT of the prem Would make me happy. But I am a cunt

The Great Kevin Keegan is responsible for every one of these: "You get bunches of players like you do bananas...though that is a bad comparison." * "Argentina won't be at Euro 2000 because they're from South America." * "People will say that was typical City, which really annoys me.

That means he'll be a threat from free-kicks and corners in the final third of the field." * "He's [shaun Wright-Phillips] got a heart as big as his size, which isn't big, but his heart's bigger than that." * "The problem in our country is that we use hindsight as our judge. When she [Margaret Thatcher] was in power, there were a lot of good things done, but people will always pick out bad things. She was a good lady."

Yep, BBC1

lol

That's interesting.. Surely if he goes down Tevez would be released from slavery to go about his business though?

I really don't know why this Invicta bloke gets everyones backs up, that's a pretty insightful (if tounge-in-cheek) observation. Made me chuckle anyway.

Ahaha!! I properly laughed out loud at this! Looking at other people's wives doing ridiculous things!! That's made my day, seriously

Everyone raves about Deco but I've not seen anything that impressive, although I'm only basing that on CL/World cup/Euro championships. Plus he looks a bit like a kid who nicked my bike when I was little. I'd have Eto'o though!

Billy Elliot is a ballet dancer isn't he? I didn't think they wore numbers and anyway, surely ballet isn't considered a 'sport'

Word, tbh. Word? I put my word on that with Bridge and Geremi in the fullback positions our team would already look twice as good. That's my defination of "word", in this case. Clocks Of course, in this instance by 'Clocks' I mean I think Wayne Bridge is great and would bring a lot of good qualities to our side. That's what I mean by 'Clocks' in this instance

Gene Hunt is class though

Is there some curse on this forum that causes the incessant mis-spelling of ridiculous?

The best thing about this forum is that you get to say words like 'fuck' and 'cunt'

Roger that!

He is a twat, but on the pitch he never pissed me off. However he pisses off the opposition big time, which imo is a valuable asset. Who on our team got under the opposition's skin last season? Too nice and too easy to beat. I would be delighted to have him back, sad to see Owen go but I think we all know he will be off as soon as a decent offer comes in. Bellers would happily play here for the rest of his career if we would have him. I would.
