brummie

Did Wilkins just refer to Ronaldo as "a very tricky customer"? Insight. Right there.

It's like having perfectly formed flakes of joy gently sprinkled into your eyes by a naked angel. With huge tits.

What are they going to do without Crouchy to whack it up to?

It's borderline racism! He says, elevating some kind of inter regional disregard to the verge of racism, just after saying "i hate the horrible Brummie twats!" Dear oh dear.

Tiote and Nolan are out, are they? I fucking hope so.

He probably supports them as much as Tony Blair supports Newcastle. True Although - disturbingly - on paper, he has decent credentials. His uncle was chairman in the 70s. He's never been spotted there, though, unlike Mervyn King, who really is a proper supporter.

There's no need to play him as long as we keep the PL-spot. And we're not paying Villa before he plays. The best thing is that we will be able to buy him for much lower price. So I don't see any problem. Yes, but the reason he'd be a lot cheaper (if he was) would reflect the fact that he'd have an even bigger mental hole to drag himself back out of. Honestly, I've no major qualms with the bloke - he's quite clearly a gigantic simpleton, but that's no crime - so I don't necessarily wish him ill, but the problem is, he's so utterly, utterly wrong in the head that I can see how it'll go. I bet you now he'll sign somewhere else over the summer, and he'll be saying all the right things when he signs, and the fans of said club will be saying "well, he just needs to feel wanted, he wasn't at Villa or Man City (or Newcastle) and he's been a good player in the past, so we'll get the best out of him" - in other words, the same old story. Only his decent spell is another season in the past, and he's only made himself look even more mental. Like i said several pages ago, I reckon he'll be playing in the MLS within two years.

To be entirely honest, that's almost enough to make me hope we lose.

I don't buy this role model stuff for a minute - frankly, I'd have thought that calling your child "Kai" says enough about whether you want him to be a role model to your kids. Not to mention shagging leather bound grandmothers and prostitutes. However, he's thick as fucking shit if he can't work out why he shouldnt be doing that. Oh, and that "nice to hear your own fans booing you" thing at the World Cup said more about the disconnect between footballers and the real world than another 1000 years of Sky money could.

The best place to go and watch PL football as an away fan, too, what a fucking mess that statue is.

You couldn't be more wrong, to be honest, Skirge. We're going to be nervous and edgy from the off. The thrashing you gave us is distant history, to be honest, there has been such a constant flow of shiteness since then, it won't really be a factor at all. What will be will be the tension between supporters and team, and the fact that we desperately need to win. Against Blackburn a few weeks ago, it was tense as fuck until we scored the first, then the nerves lifted and we played very well indeed. It all depends who gets the first goal, I reckon, but my money is on a draw.

Obviously not good enough. He was excellent at Man United, and has largely done well, but had a three match suspension in the middle, so difficult to tell, really.

I don't have an issue with Sunderland, not at all, but Christ almighty, it still amazes me what a gigantic mongfest that RTG place is.

Defence. Fucked all season long. We've played more decent football this season than in the last two combined, I reckon, but if you make it so easy for the opposition to score, you're always going to struggle. I'd say this season is down to 20% MON fucking off turmoil, 30% Houllier's shitness, 30% injury crises - and they've been terrible - and 20% defensive shiteness.

It's a little bit over the top to say the rest of the team is piss poor - playing poorly of late, maybe, but there's plenty of quality there. In fact, we're playing very well from the midfield up, it is the defence that is suspect. He went 442 yesterday, so I'd expect to see the same again, maybe with Cuellar replacing Collins, though. Friedel Luke Young - Cuellar - Dunne - Walker Young - Makoun - NRC - Downing Bent - Agbonlahor.

Some awful defending by the Dogheads here. Why the FUCK couldn't they defend like that last week?

Those big white panels on the back of your shirts. Wrong.

What is going on with Leighton Baines? He's got such a funny face and hair combo. Mid 1960s hair and a face that you'd expect to see on the bass player in some shit Scouse b-grade mersey beat group. I'd just like to say, I fucking hate this season and am gagging for it to stop.

I thought he looked consistently out of his depth last night, and contributed nothing. Then he got the chance to score, and took it exceptionally well. I also guess I shouldn't really be criticising expensive strikers who contribute nothing, but "just" score goals.

To be honest, you could play them both in goal at the same time, and I still don't think the results would be satisfactory.

Whince though you may at the folly of signing a crooked player on loan, spare a thought for us, we forked out 8 million of your British pounds to sign the absolutely hat-stand mentalist permanently. :-(

If you're looking for teams that are on the slide, I reckon it is us, you, Blackburn and Blackpool It is as wide open as it has been for years, and nobody in a big batch of teams can be ruled out.

Wolves have a lot of spirit. You can add us to that list, though. Team hate the manager, manager hates the fans, fans hate the manager, zero spirit. We're at very real risk

Mind you, that Robin Van Persie's hearing must be terrible. Can't hear a whistle during a match, can't hear women saying "no". (apologies, but I've heard that one 100 times today, so am spreading the misery).

Every time they play Barca it's ridiculously one sided (i'm sure delusional Ash predicted Arsenal would go through when the draw was made?). I get that Barca are the best team in the world but how is it possible to have 0 shots on and off target in 90 minutes? that's a shocking stat. Also, Arsenal's football is nice to watch (in the PL), but sometimes, sometimes you have to realise that what you're doing is not working. Last night towards the end was certainly the time to think about sticking the bigger players up front and lumping the fucking thing at them (like you lot do so well with Crouchy**), but what do they do? The same thing they've been doing all night, which has got them nothing. ** I'm only joking, KD, don't want to open that one up again *wink*
