My exact feeling yesterday at the talk-in.

This cunt is going to make the next fortnight unbearable...I can just sense it.

Wow - quite shocked he owned up to that. MA will be p*ssed at that, as w all know what he wanted to say. "Mike is a big huffy kid and when things upset him he acts like an utter c***. This march on Saturday will no doubt have repercussions too! Dare I say...let it.

Getting me excited about Rochdale vs Newport ffs.

John Gwynne is an amusing commentator also.

How boring is Gary Megson?

Running slightly behind on my goals galore like. 15/20 so far.

I've never heard anyone say that. Must be the knobheads you hang round with. The younger fans are generally a bunch of arseholes. :lol: No.

:lol:

:lol: WTF!?!?!

Don't think it's any different to the past to be honest, if anything it's probably a lot better. It's just that more fans these days are level headed and don't appreciate the nonsense regarding hooliganism. I agree with the post regarding Green Street, etc. It just glorifies what the past used to be like instead of deterring the youth of today from doing that sort of shit. Ultimately though, there is a lack of what I can only describe as "match lads ( / lasses)" that have taught their children the rights and wrongs or football etiquette if you like. Maybe that's through not being able to afford to take their kids to games or whatever, but the ill-informed seem to get their ideas from the aforementioned films. Generally speaking though, I think there is an overly critical view of the 'younger' fans. How many times do we see German atmospheres or Turkish atmospheres or whatever where everyone says "that's phenomenal, I wish it was like that here"? Then all of a sudden when people try to re-create anything like that they are berated or laughed at. Some of the older generation need to remember when they were invading pitches and kicking seven shades of shit out of one another, pissing in peoples pockets and climbing walls of buildings, etc just to see the game (without paying) and the bigoted attitudes towards women and those of a different race. Ultimately, I love the football banter and the stereotypical things people sing about, i.e. Scousers stealing things. I'm not easily offended and I think it's good for people to laugh at one another then shake hands after the game.

It's quite wrong that this game is massive so early in the season. They'll want it more than us too which is very worrying. I just hope we have the right tactics, personnel and attitude on Saturday...

Willo and Taylor with Dummett then? Aye, and a different right back based on Everton, and once again Everton only.

I feel a bit for Pardew like, but on the flip side he has himself to blame for letting himself be such a puppet. It's not a dignified way to go...

Rightly or wrongly, I cannot see Pardew lasting too long after Christmas. IF he even makes it that far.

I agree with that, especially after Baines got booked. FWIW like think Ben Arfa has been poor these last two games.

Based on the Everton game he should be dropped for Williamson. Based on that and that alone like.

Had a blinder vs Everton.

what he say? Nowt that you wouldn't expect like, but basically just answered each question honestly and in a composed manner, whilst protecting the players and club. He was asked if attitude was the main thing today and said well to be fair it is for every single game, etc. yet so far from what di Canio would do Aye, pretty much.

Good interview from Ball to be fair to the Mackem twat like.

See the edited post.

I'm slightly concerned that the scum might just get an equaliser here. EDIT: I tempted fate. Please give me the plaudits.

Is it just me or was Cuellars throw-in a little bit bizarre there? He seemed to have no reason for the run up by the time he threw it as he lost all momentum but had a freakishly long hoy.
