You did notice nobody has voted for him, and he was only included as someone linked to us recently, right?
so basically it was stupid to include him in the poll. Which was what i was getting at
Absolutely!, agree with that.
harper should stay in on form.
however the "dominating his box" thing is one of those phrases people trot out that doesn't actually mean anything when you watch what actually happens.
it means Harper takes responsibility where Given does not
for example, Harper will leave his goal line to catch the ball once in a while
Is it a coincidence that our defence looks much more composed and more organised with a goalkeeper capable of communicating with his backline and generally dominating his box? I think not
Harper has to stay in the team, no question
yeah, 1977's team is a pisstake I think,
Taylor, Given, Milner and Riise in the first team??? fuckin hell
Barbaric, isn't it.
what's Given done to merit being ahead of Harper next season? Nothing short of an absolute disgrace if that happens
"He never played senior football again (a true blessing). Many consider the release of Fat Mike by Newcastle United to be one of the defining moments in the history of the premier league as his participation in a premier league team lowered the standard of the league."
good guy Hooper, doorman at the something arms and Walkabout in Durham
anyone remember his last game against Spurs, absolutely inspired performance that night, saved a pen from Klinsman
silly, very silly. I highly doubt you saw Ronaldo at his best to be honest
you criticise La liga and Serie A but lets face it, Middlesbrough sit 15th in the premiership right now and are Blackburn 7th, it cant be that great
what are you talking about?
Im arguing with the guys who think Shearer had a good impact in his last 2 years here
dont compare Shearer to Ronaldo please, it's madness
prem goals (taking away penalities) for Shearer
2004-05 4
2005-06 5
anyone else massively impressed with this?
No, what was his injury record like through those seasons?
fine
The criticism was right though in his last 2 seasons, he was a shadow of his former self. There is no room for sentiment.
Bollocks.
Even the last two seasons he was doing more than anyone in an underperforming team.
idiot, you think 4 premiership goals (taking away penalties) in an entire season is 'doing more than anyone'
Bellamy got twice that and he was gone by Jan, do your research ffs
Man utd this season are arguably the best team ever in the premiership, and here Chelsea are level on points
Grant deserves a lot of plaudits. He didn't inherit a winning team, they finished 2nd last season
