you're probably right. My logic was along the lines of him getting 2 or 3 with the aid of penalties and it being a very low scoring/spread tournament.

This game could form its own "Last Ditch Defending 101" DVD.

Who did you do it with? Can't remember who I went with but I think they paid top four places for e/w. Surely still worth an extra pound or two just to cover it..

Aye this has been mint for the last ten minutes like.

Sevilla playing Bigirimana wide right.

I got that exact same price, just went £1 e/w on it though.

Rakitic is an absolutely fantastic footballer, like.

After we bowed out in the FA Cup third round we gained about 10 or 11 points anyway, so I assume had we fluked a win vs Cardiff in January then we'd have been relegated having lost 15 games in a row? Fucking imbeciles.

I won't be spending a single penny on anything to do with the club until he's gone. Those who still go to the game, give the fucker hell please.

£2 on Carlos Bacca fgs at 6/1 with Betfred's DD/HH bonus.

'locker room'

I don't remember any of our fans being particularly outraged when Ben Arfa refused to play for Marseille so he could get his move to us.

As if anyone can blame him in the slightest for having had enough with this bloody cowboy outfit we call our football club.

Surprised Pards hasn't tried to give this gimp a new deal yet.

The very, very gimpy Buttner/Gerrard guess aside I didn't do that badly...

I feel like I ask this of someone every month, but when has he? Firing a few crosses in against 9 knackared Stoke players aside.

Think you've all been a bit harsh on him like. He even showed up at the Ledley King testimonial to run the line and keep his fitness levels up. http://i61.tinypic.com/2djrspx.jpg

aye, he's been fucking fantastic this season has our Sadio.

Anyone advocating the England band might as well invite that cunt with the blue hair and the bell from Fratton Park along too.

Sherwood's undoubtedly a massive dickhead but he'll pick up another job fairly soon IMO. Not experienced or good enough for Spurs, but showed enough to get another job IMO. Could see him getting the West Brom gig.

Along with his undercover work in Vietnam and his glittering boxing career.

Wembo

Lampard and Milner were must-picks IMO. There is a danger of picking too youthful and inexperienced a squad; particularly now there's no Cole, Ferdinand, Terry or Barry (shit as he was). There's only Gerrard, Lampard, Milner and Rooney who are 'old heads' in this squad.

I thought the '50%' in the thread title was because today's matchday squad of 18 included 9 defenders.

He's had a largely average-to-shite season which was masked by that performance away to Spurs. I can remember him getting done in exactly the same fashion in the 2-2 draw away at Chelsea when Sammy made his debut. And we're now what, three years later and he's making that same mistake twice in a matter of minutes. Pathetic. I almost feel bad saying it because he's the least of our worries tbh, but he looks increasingly naff with each game.
