Well this post certainly sums the moronic reality up perfectly.

Good restaurant.

We should certainly be in for Byram. Got a lot about him.

True. Barton was absolutely shit in CM for us and looked good out wide only when he had Carroll to aim for.

Ne mention or credit for the player who was voted as one of the best two centre halves in the league by his fellow pros that season or who picked up the North East player of the year award? :lol: :lol: Do you never get bored of hanging your hat on one hopelessly flawed footballer? It's creepy as fuck, man. I imagine you as someone who works in a care home and interferes with old people who don't get taken remotely seriously when they report you.

Wow. You're quite right, KI. May I also say that new avatar gives you credibility.

I like de Jong a lot. My type of player. I want him and Thauvin to start more games for us than not.

Are you frightened?

Souness has held the exact same definition of 'the modern footballer' for 20 years. Detestable prick.

Lua Lua didn't, of course, have the benefit of being wheeled out to play 5 years after his sell-by date.

Stifler nails it. Next the blind will see and the lame will walk.

Who cares, man?

Dude that happened over an hour ago. Late.

Gosling is good.

He's always injured. And shit.

If we're hoping Man U beat Bournemouth for us to stay in the PL we're as bad as the mongs who tell folk to sit down and support the lads.

I think it's become the mantra of the managerial fraternity to disparage the Europa League at every given opportunity. They all (with a few exceptions) seem to hate the format. Can't wholeheartedly blame them, if I'm honest. It's become a completely shit tournament in the past decade.

Only if you discount (at the very least) Krul, Cisse, Ba and Ben Arfa. Our midfield wasn't great that season at all. We seldom controlled games and were totally reliant on the back 4 keeping things tight and those up top spinning straw into gold.

That's because he rightly had no confidence in Tiote receiving the ball from the defence.

What do Alan Sugar and David Gold have in common? Clue: I don't mean Judaism.

Yep. Dyer was a 4-star player but Sissoko isn't fit to lick his dirty underpants.

If Dummett's been dogshit I'd love to know which adjective you'd use for Janmaat's defensive contribution.

He's nothing at all like Dyer, though. Dyer at CM (as opposed to a more attacking role) worked because his fast feet, agility and boundless energy made him effective at hassling and winning the ball.

Yep. I do think that was symptomatic of the loss to Marseilles a few days earlier but booing Robert off ffs. Fucking idiots and sheep.

Dummett's been rusty since his return but he isn't poor defensively at all. Poor footballer, yeah.
