Vinny Green Balls

Once again, Perch comes in and does a job. Thought he and Saylor did very well. Looking forward to seeing more of Anita. He has some wheels.

actually sounds familiar. I remember Shearer scoring from a couple of indirect freekicks. Was it the 02-03 season?

Only time I have seen it was at an Earthquakes game about 7 years ago. But they really should. Irritates the shit out of me how long keepers hold onto the ball.

My buddy from Santa Cruz was in Monterey, California a few weeks back when he saw a guy in a Sunderland strip. As a reflex, my friend yelled out "Sad Mackem Bastard." The poor asshole wore the most confused expression as he entered into the Aquarium with his kids.

Allardyce was greeted with open arms. I was happy with the appointment. But he was clearly shit for us. Pardew, on the other hand, came in as a pariah. The fallout from the Hughton travesty made him our most pilloried appointment since Sourness. The vitriol against him, including from me, would have made the cliche poisoned chalice even that much more poisoned. The fact that he turned it around with such aplomb is a massive achievement, and one that it seems many have forgotten. He jumped into a vipers' nest, and managed to charm almost all of the snakes. That puts his achievements far above Fat Sam's in my book.

Fucking hell! One of my favorite players of the last 20 years for his intelligence and work ethic. Love him even more for completely turning around so many opinions about him from the early days. RIP, man. You being the true marshal of Bobby's side got me through some very difficult times.

I think most of us are waiting for the trap door to open at some point, I suppose.

Get the feeling that if he scored 30 goals in a season, he would still have detractors.

Shit, man. Thankfully the east of libya has DSL now. Really irritating that I still haven's seen Cabaye play this season but for a few minutes. I'll have to take your guys' word for it.

I know it's been a while, but have you forgotten that Irish dude on ESPN. The Onion bag guy? Tommy Smyth? that fucker irritates the shit out of me. John Harkes is absolutely atrocious as well.

Welcome to the shit I have had to deal with all of my life. Ty Keough and his commentating ilk with their uber reasoned analysis: "this is sudden the quarterfinals, so they have to win if they want to move to the semifinals..." or "when the ball crosses the sideline, the other team is awarded a throw-in. thanks for joining us for this friendly between Senegal and China..."

it's time to start a dead pool for everybody who injures ben arfa.

Pitch invasions have occurred many times in college football. One of the most famous was the Cal-Stanford pitch invasion by the Stanford band. They went on the field to celebrate Stanford's impending victory. The only catch was that the game was not over. Stanford kicked it off and Cal returned it for a game-winning touchdown.

I believe that a No-Fly Zone should first be authorized against FIFA, and then some serious bombing to protect all of us from weapons grade douchebaggery.

Anyhow, I thought the chloroform comment was worse, particularly after seeing significant evidence of institutionalized rape in Libya. However, even that wasn't said in malice. No malice, no offense.

Not directed at you at all. I've said much, much worse in my time. I am pointing out that I jumped to a conclusion that Ash was being self righteous when he wasn't.

I stand corrected. Plenty of self-righteousness on the forum, but not coming from Ash.

It's fairly comforting to see that in the modern world self-righteousness is not at a premium.

Joaquin only has a cleft lip. The criteria has not been met.

Never thought I would say this, but I am getting really amped about this upcoming season, even if I will likely be back in Benghazi for the start. I recall seeing this Marveaux guy play a few times, and being impressed with him, although he didn't do anything particularly memorable.

I would love for them to secure their status in the league before I leave, but that is seriously unlikely now. Really f'ing irritating.

thank fuk! was not looking forward to this one, given how we have been playing. a little breathing space now.

agreed, Ben Arfa needs to be played as a classic 37. this is vital to our success.
