For about 5 minutes mate.

We've been linked to Mido? It'll be Carlos the Tackle.

If he's as good as you Yanks say he is, then I hope he spends most of his time in the physio room, suspended and or hopelessly mismanaged. Fuck him and them having a good season

I may be suffering from selective memory here, but in Italia 90, I'm pretty sure the American team had a black centre half who was called Lance Armstrong. Correct me if I'm wrong American fans.

They beat us 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup too.

What? I'm not sure I entirely understood what you were saying about Holt and Morison, tbh. You think they are better players than Bent? You think they fit better into the "Lambert system". If people haven't noticed, I'm fully in favour of the Bent acquisition, btw. Lambert plays pretty direct football and those two are OK (especially Holt) at holding it up. Bent, not so much. There is no arguing Bent is a better player though. This was my point, although I agree Lambert did wonders keeping that Villa squad up last season, it's farcical to say his teams don't play anything other than direct football...he did at Norwich and he has done so far at Villa. Bent doesn't really perform in a long ball hold it up system, or any other really than playing solitary, on the shoulder of the last defender..he is a fine finisher but a limited player.

Catch the Wind is such a great tune.

But Steve Morison and Grant Holt did ?

Shad Khan, owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, agrees to buy Fulham. http://prod.static.jaguars.clubs.nfl.com/assets/images/team/management/shad-khan.jpg He looks like Ron Jeremy's Mexican cousin Juan Jeremy. Isnt that Johnathan Ross saying Ron Jeremy?

We did it once and finished 5th.

Have a feeling Jack Barmby at United could be special too. When did we sign him? We get Joe Barmy to compensate.

It's not all doom and gloom, you could always ask Phyllis Neville to put back his retirement.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the year we did most of our summer business early, pre 11-12, was our best one since Ashley took us over.

Someone should put a "u" in front of SAFC just for shits and giggles. When England selected/selects a Mackem, I always hope he does shite incidentally. I've never yet been disappointed.

To minimise the risk of losing games and subsequently your job. That's obvious. Doesn't quite fit with the romantic vibe of your post. Strange that, I didn't see teams that finished above us all playing like that. Defensive football isn't the only way to win games, and it doesn't "minimise the risk" of losing games. As we lost f***ing loads last season Had your horses there, son. I answered Bimpy's question by offering an explanation, in the same manner as a couple of others. It's not brain science. I didn't say what my opinion on that kind of football was. And I'm saying it doesn't minimise the risk of losing games and its not romanticising football to expect a better quality brand. The logic is flawed in itself as Pardew almost lost his job by playing ultra defensive/rancid football In theory, and if executed correctly in practice, it does exactly that. I'm not arsed about the rest. It's a pointless discussion, as I imagine 99.4% of football fans would like to watch attractive, attacking football. It's like that song that says,"do you like good music ?"

Our manager likes to see players with the touch of someone who carries out said practice. He was the same himself as a player.

Why are people doubting Kinnear's footballing knowledge ? He knows things that nobody else does.

Credit where credit us due even in the third tier they were pulling in 30 odd thousand . They may be arseholes but they are loyal arseholes. True their past attendances were decent (although i'm sure i'v read some shocking stats regarding there past crowds somewhere, when someone was having a pop at ours) but how often do they fill Eastlands? Sure it's not as much as they should. I'd like to think if we were in their position we'd still retain the best aspect of the club. The chelsea fans are far worse imo though and they optimise the modern corporate sell out of clubs. Agree about Chelsea, they struggled to get 20 thousand even in the early days of the Premier League. Horrid club and its fans.

How can anyone prefer one thing to the other when they may amount to the same thing.
