The Prophet

We can't sell Shola, he's part of the furniture.

It's his biggest flaw. He constantly backs off and doesn't get tight enough to the winger. His backing off annoys the hell out of me. He doesn't do it as recklessly as people like to think. Sometimes it's necessary.

If I was going to reluctantly take any striker from the Championship it would have to be Danny Graham.

Don't tempt fate, Dave's agent is probably taking a call from Llambias as we speak.

I'd play Ireland off the striker, s*** we can't can we. OK, I'd put Routledge on the wing and move Barton inside, ah, we can't do that either. Xisco up front then, no, he's in Spain. Bollocks, we'll have to play the up and coming Kuqi instead.

Bollocks.

If your strikeforce is toothless, then surely put 1 s*** striker up front instead of 2, and stick another body in midfield? There's no one available.

I wouldn't f***ing count on it. Moron.

Flukey bastards, still we were wank.

Barton and Nolan have been shite.

Spawny cunts.

Break a leg Suarez, cheers.

Oh Gary, what a prat.

You think? Gave Carson no chance.

Meite's got a better finish on him than Ranger.

You spout a rididculous amount of s*** it has to be said. The rules state the linesman has to be 100% sure to give the goal. It's certain from his positioning and the way he took his time awarding the goal that he was not 100% sure so he basically altered the rules and went on a hunch. And it has to be said you spout as much s***. If it was at the other end, you'd have been on this forum defending the linesman all the way. Your bias means you can't see it though. He nodded his head straight afterwards to indicate that it crossed the line - he didn't 'take his time' at all. Just because he wasn't waving his flag around like a lunatic didn't mean that he wasn't sure. And the rules don't state "the linesman has to be 100% sure" - he has to make a decision and with everything presented to him, he made that decision. And 99/100 linesmen would make the same decision IMO. I'd certainly have given the goal. It's a real shame he isn't robo-cop and couldn't tell that an inch of the ball was still of the line, but hey that's life. Got to feel for him really, it's batshit crazy we don't have goal line technology in this day an age.

Had Reading, Forest, Southampton and Hannover, the dream's over.

Already claimed it at half time, but a special mention to Di Maria, pretty sure the wind blew him over a couple of times.

Revert to type? You can't watch many Barca games. Tonight they were horrible, but to call it a regular occurance is daft.

The pair of them should be ashamed of themselves, horrible, play acting, diving bastards. At least the better, more positive side won.
