Well played. Classic feeling of "f***, knew I should have put more on" I've gone £15 on Northug winning the 15km at 4.25, hope I'll feel the same after He's a fucking cunt tbh, can't do shit by himself.

This. Not a chance of it happening this season so I don't see how this can be the case. This season shows the "big four" might be falling out of the CL spots, which would be a big issue for the money makers, hence the idea of giving whichever drops out of the four top spots in the future yet another chance so money won't be lost. It won't apply this season, but I'd bet they're regretting not coming up with this before. You think the Premier League want it to be the same top 4 every year? They want to mix it up a bit and make the league more entertaining, it's no surprise Liverpool and the other so called big 4 are the only teams against it. tbh I think the world is cynical enough for that, including the Premier League, the "top four" are the main pull outside of England and if one or two of them started to trail it would make the gloryhunters jump ship and perhaps focus on other league, or not follow football at all, meaning a lot of money would be lost selling television rights to other countries and so on and so on.

I agree with that, would make the cups potentially interesting again.

I see it the other way around, the gap between the "top four" and the ones close to them are becoming much less apparent, and this would give the "top four" a chance at remaining the "top four" even if not finishing in it.

"Oh no! Liverpool might not finish fourth? What can we do? :frantic:" Is what it reads to me.

Correct, he plays for FC Entchiles in the Swiss third tier. Wrong, he plays for FC Echichens in the Swiss fifth tier.

Schumacher plays for a fifth division side in Switzerland iirc, so it can't be him.

I miss you

Hopefully Barton will be on the bench for this.

I'll always respect and like Given for the service he's given us, but naturally he went somewhat down in my estimation because of the way he left. But that won't discount the actual service he's given, as we were shit for quite some time before he left, but he sticked with us. At the time it seemed like he knew where we were going, and I don't blame him for being disillusioned at staying here the way we were heading. I wish him well, even if the way he left made my heart crack a bit not waiting until the summer. I'm just grateful he stayed as long as he did, all things considering. One of the few players in the latter part of the 00s to wear our shirt and actually have real talent. He didn't owe us anything, we, on the other hand, owed him the chance to win something with us, but we never paid up and went more and more downhill as Given became older and older. I, for one, believe he has actual feelings for the club and the region.

Riise looks like he's having a new spring at Roma these days.

fuck.

£20 on Anders Jacobsen to win Normal Hill Ski Jumping in Vancouver returns £160.

According to reports regarding his fitness Barton is meant to be back for Coventry, probably will be starting on the bench if he is mind.

He's very happy it seems

tbf to him he probably did not have a big budget, so he put his focus on the places where we needed back-up and so on. Midfield we have loads of players to cover should one of them get injured, not so much elsewhere. not disputing we need better CMs, mind.

I agree, but Carroll is the discussion that we're having now. No doubt it'll rightly turn into talk of how shit a midfield we have though. My main point would be that we play it long, Carroll isn't effective as a target man, and we dont have the players to pick up any knock downs anyway. We play so, so much better when he knock it about and get the full backs forward. In fact that's just about our only effective tactic. The long ball on every level does not work. You can also look at how effective Loven is when we play it on the ground, he's not a physical player so he needs to rely on technique, which is hard to do when you get balls kicked at you that you need to wrestle with opposition defenders to win.

You mean my side of the argument that Carroll is 'not f***ing s***'? in fine form - 5 in 6? Mm that was my argument. Also by deconstructing all your posts to prove how ridiculous your claims are.. yea your guessed it that was also to benefit my argument. Keep telling yourself that :lol: f*** me man, I'm actually laughing out loud at that post. f***ing hell, f*** me :lol: :spit: You never had an argument man, and my posts were rooted in facts. f***ing hell, f***ing hell. :lol: To be fair, statistics will get you nowhere, goals will, Carroll has been scoring recently, and no matter how s*** he played today, he scored and got us a point, which means he is most likely going to start against Coventry. Its all about recent form, not form over a season for me, Unless we have a really prolific striker who is consistently scoring over the length of this season, which we dont, because all of our strikers this season had a run of good scoring form, and s**** patches of form, which is the main reason we dont have an established 2 striker partnership week in week out, you can never tell who is going to start in terms of strikers this season. Good post, I agree. The problem lies in the fact that Carroll has started when he wasn't in form, just as Nolan is.

Keep telling yourself that :lol: f*** me man, I'm actually laughing out loud at that post. f***ing hell, f*** me :lol: :spit: Good, top man. And i will keep laughing at how a player who 'offers nothing' (defended this for 2 hours) and then say he contributes 25% of our goals all season. I'm sure you never meant it and 'you wrote wrong' You have already changed your opinion twice. Why not go for more? I'm out. You can have the last word :lol: Have you even read my posts as any sane person would? I doubt it. I've been serious and un-personal all through this "discussion", proving my opinion and view through facts, but fuck that, you're deluded man. There's no point arguing with you, would be easier convincing Ronaldo that Colo isn't god tbh. You've yet to post one reason why you think Carroll is good bar "5 in 6" and "you contradict yourself!", pathetic man.

It is when football is based on results and not grooming. I'm all for bringing players through, but not when we're playing like shit and desperately need more than one dimension to the way we play. Carroll is already 21, while he can still improve (and by all means prove me wrong) I don't think he'll ever make it on the top level and he's close to his peak of ability as he's been looking rather the same skill wise ever since he debuted for the first team, he feels like a tall Chopra to me for some reason. I'd rather we were grooming Ranger if we were to be grooming a "youngster", which I don't think we should as we need to get back up this season.
