MUV!

Perch appears to be better defensively at this stage of Anita's development. Can understand Pardew's thinking.

Let's say it was you who was elbowed by Ben Thatcher at what's now the Etihad a few years back. The CPS didn't even bother taking that one to court. I suppose you'd accept the FA not imposing an extended suspension, either?

Shola's goals gained us 2 points, to be fair.

Damn right.

Not really. It speaks to the point of having an attacking midfielder in the same side as Lampard.

Ballack had about 10 good games in the 4 years he was at Chelsea.

Berbatov's stock has gone down since he went under the Man U microscope. He's far more suited to a slower pace of football, anyway, so he's not a great example. You're right though, Totti would go down in PL history had he come over here 8 years ago instead of staying in that joke of a league.

At least.

It is when you suggest that the FA should follow the decision of the courts. Having not committed a crime doesn't necessarily provide that a footballer's conduct is acceptable under the laws of the game.

Yeah, £500K or something.

Quite. He's a class act. Think folk are getting a bit spoiled A lot of people just want to see such a talent being used better.

I like him but he's more often than not a passenger in a 4-4-2, like.

:lol:

Not really. I'd rather be racially abused than assaulted. Yep, or assaulted 3 times.

Load of bollocks. He played his role well, as usual. Yeah, as a striker with no goal threat. He may play the role well, doesn't mean we have to like it or accept it in a game where that type of contribution is obsolete.

Or no Marv at all, preferably.

He didn't, in fairness.

Aye, right.

It's not the job of the judiciary to uphold standards of sportsmanship.

We heard the same rubbish about Shola for years. It's a way of trying to dissuade the crowd from making cast iron judgements and being loudly critical at SJP.

Did Pardew say he saw Sammy as the best of the young bunch coming through? This lad's miles ahead of him.

Pisses me off seeing him start games like tonight. He's just not up to it and should be saved for the last 20 minutes of Premier League games should we need to go route one.

And Bobby didn't sign him. Not at all, he just found it difficult to adapt to the added responsibilities of being a winger in the English game. Off the field he was a model pro.

Santon will play 60 games at this rate.
