Man Utd's Manucho scores a bullet header for Angola.

Maybe they dont have the tactical skills as european players do, but the speed and offensive is beyond what any european country can come up with i belive.

 

Black people are simply better athletes than white people. Faster, more agile and generally just more explosive on the whole.

 

No real point deluding ourselves and trying to be PC about it, it's a stonewall fact.

 

Conversely, white folks are, by and large, better equiped at the cerebral side of sports (i.e reading what is going on around them and making decisions)

 

You need only look at american football to see this.

 

In the positions where speed and athleticism are crucial, like running-back, reciever or cornerback, you will do well to find a white person in the entire league. You get some wide-recievers, admittedly, but most of these are "slot recievers" who generally are expected to work the middle of the field and spot open space in zone coverages (which further illustrates my point) rather than be big playmakers.

 

On the other hand pretty much all the elite QB's, for my money the most mentally challenging position is sport, are white guys.

 

There are exceptions to the rule of course, but this is the way it generally goes.

Maybe they dont have the tactical skills as european players do, but the speed and offensive is beyond what any european country can come up with i belive.

More to do with this, rather than lesser quality like Shak said.

The African Nations Cup is not about defensive tactics and stopping people from playing.

It is all about attacking football and going at each other.

It's just the way African teams approach the game for the most part.

Wait what happened with King today? Did he get injured again?

Well, has his price, is droppping down the pecking order a little, getting crowded out the centre of the park. Is a geordie boy and has always said he'd love to come here.

 

Nothing in stone obviously but a hell of a lot morelikely then any other top playerin a top 4 team.

 

Someone said that before, and I've no idea where it's coming from. He's started loads of games this year, and still is doing so.

Played a lot due to injuries to Hargreaves and Scholes, as well as anderson taking time to settle at the start of the season.

Hargreaves and Scholes are both fit now and Anderson has really come on lately.

It will be interesting to see how much Carrick plays from now through to the end of the season.

What a f****** beauty!

 

COYB!

 

How old is Sturridge?

 

Should be getting more of a run now shouldn't he?

 

18. See above.

18?

Didn't realise he was quite so young.

Sturridge, Onuoha, Richards, Johnson ... what the hell has been up with our academy for freak sake 

What a f****** beauty!

 

COYB!

How old is Sturridge?

Should be getting more of a run now shouldn't he?

Sturridge with an absolute peach.

Talk about bursting onto the scene.

Leroy Lita is the new Shola.

 

Well, maybe he's a bit more mobile.

Be careful what you say pal. You don't want to end up like this fella ...

Arsenal fans think he's s***

 

Not worst then Adebayor tbh.

 

Disagree.

 

Julio has done bugger all.

 

Adebayor = the next Ameobi

 

Both (Baptista and Adebayor) were s*** last season, both didnt really do enough to deserve a place in the starting eleven in the Arsenal squad, i am pretty much sure that Wenger will play with Henry-Van Persie up front next season and keep Adebayor on the bench as a back up, maybe even get a better striker.

JULIO BAPTISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news, City are all over the place right now.

Maybe Mort  should go for Sven at half time?

I bet Spurs f***** the medical off after watching Dawson today.

They would've been smart to do so.

Woodgate and Ledley King would be very impressive.

Will they stay fit though?

kneejerking lads

 

spurs and Boro did this lot ffs, no matter how great they are

That's the point though!!!

It's the reason we should play confidently against them.

Derby down 3 - 0 to Preston and they outplayed us twice.

Don't know how anyone can diss Zoggy tbh.

If Zoggy starts to emerge as a central midfiled talent it could save us a hell of a lot of money!

What potential that boy has, but Allardyce saw it fit to play him at left back.

Thank God for Ashley, and it's now safe to say waiting till the end of the season would not have been a good move .

Keegan is a legend man ... till I see this with my own two eyes I still won't believe it.

I can't belieeve the same team we have seen all season is playing the way people on here are saying they are.

It's just so exciting.

How are our forwards doing by the way? Even Alan Smith might still come good for us under these conditions.

Proud of the boys, and happy for them too 

Sorry, but how is Zoggy doing in the centre of midfield?

Also is Milner looking any better than he has recently?

I need to know who is taking responsibility in midfield for linking up our play in general, because this has been a big problem for us.

Is it Zoggy or Butt? Or is everyone just raising their games?

I'm so so relieved right now.

Been the better side so far tbh.

 

Actually playing it around a bit, very confusing stuff.

Allardyce is being exposed here.

The same exact players keeping it on the floor succesfully.

Allardyce had convinced us they were incapable of doing so though!

Oh man ... this is just so exciting no matter what happens.

I can't believe we are actually playing football now.

Excellent.

How's Zoggy doing in midfield then?

How are we looking in general guys?

 

Doing alright, they look dangerous though. Duff's started well.

Sounds okay then. Cool.

How are we looking in general guys?

Woodgate's experience will be great for Taylor in particular, even when he is injured (which hopefully won't be too often).

Plus we have really decent backups now, especially when Faye returns.

Daily Express I believe.

Would be a good move for sure.

Woodgate move gathers pace

Jan 26 2008 By Lee Ryder

NEWCASTLE UNITED moved closer to the signing of Jonathan Woodgate this afternoon after reports suggested that Kevin Keegan had a £7million bid accepted for the England defender.

Talks are believed to be at an advanced stage with personal terms expected to be thrashed out.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been in the hunt for the unsettled Woodgate but are thought to have pulled the plug on the move for the Middlesbrough man.
