Has Donavan had muscle implants?

Depends, 1-0 win for us or them?

Don't know about you but I hope we win.

Could really do with Tiote being careful while Barton's out. I'd hate to go in against Chelsea or Bolton without both of them.

chelsea fair enough, but bolton ? They'll get in our faces and the two upfront will be difficult to deal with, it's winnable but will be a really tough game. They've got a good record at home and should've beaten Liverpool by all accounts too.

Pressure on winning this has gone up with Tiote being one away from a yellow and Barton being out. Can't see us getting much from Bolton/Chelsea so it's imperative we win this. I'd go with Routledge or Nolan off Carroll, Guthrie coming in for Barton.

I like how you put the effort in to space out the team correctly but left Krul playing with the corner flag. Our team is so good we don't need a keeper and can rather play another right back, obviously. I'm worried about Simpson's lack of height so put Krul just behind to strengthen. Don't really need a keeper imo.

I sense changes afoot, and rightly so. Krul Simpson Campbell Colo Enrique Barton Guthrie Nolan Jonas Routledge Carroll

What a lad.

Can you post all the screenshots of the game please, I'll print them out and flick through it, will save me downloading the highlights.

Am I going to get slated for suggesting resting a couple for this, even though I said we should for Blackburn and we got beaten tonight?

Who are the scapegoats tonight then? Williamson thread has been bumped so I assume him, any others?

Ah, we lost. Bit gay.

It probably doesn't make it into the top 3 derbies in Britain, nevermind the world. What would you say the top 3 in Britain are? 1. Old Firm 2. Tyne and Wear 3. ???? I know must of us would put our derby above the Old Firm derby and so would I, but for the fact that the old firm derbies are the only real bearing on who wins a trophy in Sctoland. 1. Old firm 2. Tyne-wear 3. West 'am Millwall All 3 far behind anything you'll come across in Eastern Europe/S. America. Not sure about that last sentence. Boca/River and a couple of others but what are the ones in eastern Europe? Are they not just more down to location rather than underlying factors in the three listed there like religion/politics, civil war and docklands business.

Who's Hoilett?

Bored hearing about what they think now.

3C and I've got the window open. Only out of laziness, but still. I'm ard.

And you have the cheek to call someone else's post absurd? Your attempt at emotional blackmail leaves a lot to be desired, for one there were no women in the trenches of WWI, and the world itself was a very different place then than it is today - and WWI was not a fight against fascism, that came latter. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance of those who lost their lives in WWI, the war to end all wars. The fact that it is now being used by certain elements to encompass modern wars such as Iraq/Afghanistan is what is questionable, and that is what the celtic banners are attempting to do - albeit in a rather overly dramatic way. Some people are not happy with the conduct of the British government and the actions of sections of the British army (i'm sure you can find all sorts of evidence etc online as to why), and would rather not see the remembrance of those that died fighting in what they themselves believed to be a just war, tarnished by the actions of a modern occupying force. Of course the emotional hysteria that the government (et al) wishes to whip up in order to get backing from the public appears to be working - if some of the posts on this thread are anything to go by. no it isn't. it is a symbol of rememberence of those who lost their lives and were injured serving this country. just because it started after the first world war doesn't tie it exclusivly to that or is the poppy not for rememberence of the world war 2 victims, korea ? falklands ? etc etc. you can't choose what conflicts you want the poppy to be associated with, yes to this one and no to that one. my guess is those people are the same sort of people who will pop a quid in the tins in many "irish" pubs in glasgow to support the cause of irish nationalsim based purely on their lineage. As far as I'm concerned the poppy is worn in remembrance of WW1 casualties, it bloomed over the battlefields and is therefore, associated solely with that. Remembrance day is for all casualties in all wars.

Swimming.

Stoke are superb yesterday.

He's no worse than Johnson defensively. Would be unbelievably funny though.

Ballotelli. The rest of everyone associated can die a painful death, bar my two citeh mates.

Haway man, that's ridiculous. Is it? I use the ball better than him, ffs. I'd probably agree with this actually. You seen a lot of Keefaz playing at the highest level? I have and what I saw was beautiful.
