was just about to tell you not to worry, that there's no way Korea won't qualify congrats

Perch is not in a good position either? Stood unmarked on the 6 yard box with a free pass ffs He's coming in really fast, he'd not have composure to slot it in. You can't see that in the pic, though. I dunno about the television, but it was f***ing obvious from sitting in the stand behind the goal that Perch was in a glorious position to score. All Ranger had to do was slot it to him and he'd have scored - it's not like he was running in like a f***ing roadrunner The problem with our strikers (and that's all that featured today - Best, Ranger, Shola and Lovenkrands) is that they don't lift their f***ing heads enough. There were a number of opportunities in those closing stages whereby if the attacker in question had glanced up and saw his options, we'd have been laughing away with 3 points. spot on

Absolutely no idea how Iran are still in this. Korea haven't been too sharp since HT, but blimey Iran have been woeful! Solid, in a way, but woeful

Shut the fuck up no one cares about your Madrid itinerary

We defended bed fer theeh gowl. was a poo gowl fr colotcheyni :duff:

Pardew is horrific in interviews! I wonder if he ever passed his English GSCE's. Talks just like the players do. Zero eloquence

You should have lost against our B Team, How does that make you feel? http://www.avwrites.com/wordpress/pix/iStock_000009905754XSmall.jpg

nope

no offense to the OP but

He was no dud, but nothing special either

We could have been sat 2 pts behind the scum with a game in hand, 4 pts clear of the teams directly below us, 11 ahead of Villa in 17th and 12 ahead of 18th. If is the biggest word in football. RIP SBR

I understand what you mean, but that's none sense tbh. If he had passed to Lovenkrands, you wouldn't be sat there saying that he doesn't have the striker's instinct to shoot. Strikers are there to put the ball in the back of the net. Whether by scoring themselves or providing chances is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Well I agree with that sort of, but if you don't have the hunger to get goals and the instinct to shoot then you won't make a very good striker. At least not unless you'r a non-scoring one like Kevin Davies. Obviously I wouldn't have been criticising him if he squared it and we'd scored. That doesn't mean that I do have to criticise him because he didn't! Bit of a logical stretch that one. I don't blame the lad at all for shooting. But come training Monday morning, I wouldn't be telling him well done for having a go. I'd be saying, you made the space for yourself, which is great. Next time, look up! I'm not sure if the replays show whether or not he looked up. He may not have seen PL in the better position, so that would be what I'd ask him to work on. Awareness of course improves with experience, which ties in with what you're saying. IMO Lovenkrands with his experience should have got much tighter to the post to follow up.

Fucking kills me to see how close we got to 3 pts against these tossers

Ameobi 4? Harsh. Then again, I suppose we can always give him 2 scores for his 2 different personalities on the pitch. I'd give 8 to Shola and a 4 to Ameobi

Spurs, club, players, manager and fans can all fuck off Furious with this. Barton, for all the good he'd done, could've secured the 3 pts but wasted it. Hard luck lads. Tottenham Hotspur FC can fuck right off

no chance. studio says 45%

have

1-0 roos

good for you Okey? Sorry like, he may be quality, I just don't see anything but 11 horse-cum guzzling wankers in Spurs during the match. As it were, my feelings aren't any different about Spurs during the rest of the season mind

good for you

It's not true, Redknapp wasn't mugged. He thought he was but it was only the Inland Revenue

and he knows it

Maybe under Hughton in the CCC, less pressure and less limelight, he might have got on with it, got into the team spirit etc and got his form back. Now, with Pardew in charge, and a couple of "bad boys" already in the squad, I agree.
