eerm.... mods can someone merge them then?

Ta didnt see it christ that was made early

Bit early.. but the threads are getting a bit stale and this is a big match too. line-ups predictions i think we'll play the same old formation but hopefully with zog now in as a winger. i'd say 1-1.. but a win isn't completely impossible of course

big sam's always talking about not rushing players back but as soon as england comes- a- knocking he buckles.

The police said if he handed himself in, they'd reduce the charge to manslaughter. thats an outrage.. the man's obviously a threat to society did you see, he intentionally put his arm on dida's chest, no permission or anything.

I think i'll write an autobiography of how i was incessantly assaulted

Kiss was it ? The coppers say resting a hand on someone's chest unbidden or uninvited is assault - I'd say hand accross face is even more so. been assaulted many times and not known it then.. fuck, call the police- i've been abuuused!

I think the law of 'being a overacting tit' is reason enough for dida to be in trouble

Yeah.. luque became a bad player over 3 nights

Poor morph.. banned before he comment on this. shame, would've been funny

The guy was an idiot, could have got his team kicked out of the tourno.. There was nothing malicious in it, but yeah pillocks in the stands shouldn't be allowed to get on the pitch.. the "stewarts" should have done something. Shame if the actions of one idiot lead to the team being harshly penalised

He couldnt light up st.james if he tried worst £5million we have spent, hes just as bad as owen for getting injured and the sooner we get rid the better Yeah i hope he breaks his fucking legs.. the fucking tosser Edit: right kev?

Not trying to brag.... oh ok why not,... but i'm kind of known for it myself The stepovers are great for getting defenders to spread those legs for you... wait might want to rephrase that..

anyone who shouts "nutmeg!" is a dick anyhow. just bloody do it

i'm one of those cocky bastards that do it.. just a bit of showboating. you look like a right prick if you don't get it though, but thats why you have to carefully select the most dimwitted looking guy on the field to do it to.

that kind of tactical cheating comes with experience though

It is getting out of hand now, but he's still a great player (i think ) as soon as/if he kicks this habit of getting injured, we'll finally have the player we payed 16 mil for.

Well, well don't i feel like a prick At 4-1 i told the spurs fan i was watching it with, (at a pub) i'd give him 50 pounds if spurs came back.. luckily i left at 4-2..

I'm like that, always think 'f****** hell I could have done better than that' when watching football, like when agahowa missed that header against Liverpool, I put a similar one away on saturday no bother for my team and just thought 'f****** hell he gets paid a ton for missing that, i would have stuck that away no botha.' I thought that, until I sat pitchside for the Palace game a couple of years ago and their fringe players came out for a knockabout. They were lightyears ahead of me with their control, skill and accuracy. Crystal Palace fringe players. We're no where near man aye,i consider(d) myself to be a decent footballer,then the best footballer i actually know played against boro's youth team and they got murdered,not tonnes of skill but slick pass and move,better technique and doing the simple stuff. i'm somewhat flashy when i play, tricks and speed.. so my ego doesn't allow me to think that fringe players are better Used to be into freestyle when i was younger aswell... highly doubt i would cut it the big leagues though.

sorry but: everyone is entitled to be a little stupid now and again, but christ is this guy abuses the privelege

Its always a big risk going for a foreign 'flair' player, its usually a toss-up whether they can cut it in the premier league, and sam being sack-a-phobic (who can blame him, look at the cunts on the 'fire sam' thread) he decided to play it safe, build the foundations.

Completely agree with all of this - the defence will get better, especially imo if we settle with Beye, Rozenhal, Cacapa, and Enrique as the first choice line-up. We need to see more of Cacapa before he can be put ahead of Taylor. You are joking. Taylor is so so overrated, no wonder my Man City fan mate keeps laughing at me when he has read news about how good Taylor is. Taylor is our last choice CB in my view. I have seen him made too many mistakes with his poor positioning and decisions to know that a Lyon Captain must be at least better than him. I even dare to say that Taylor will be our next Bramble: decent game here and there, but more crap games that cost us games. Nail on head. i agree bang a nail in his head

Good things take time.. took me 4 hours to think of what to write, this in itself is proof

Surely the defence was under more pressure because they were up against some amazing wingers and attacking players. Harper's biggest test was west-ham (comeon wigan? boro? a crappy bolton team? derby?) and was simply a spectator when derby scored against us. Remember Given let in 5 goals against Arsenal and Mancity ffs.. and let's not forget how many times shay has saved our arses in the past any old excuse to complain though

at these comments "alladyce out!" just read this thread now ffs... there should be an IQ test taken before someone's allowed to post- It would certainly stop some these idiots spouting nonsense. we were beaten by a creatively superior side who havn't lost at home yet.. given our poor away form its really no giant surprise that we lost. Still as, i think baggio was saying; the midfield is worryingly short of ideas and pace. Love the knee-jerkers saying we're relegation fodder everytime we lose.
