Their strikeforce is a lot better than us, but the rest is a bit rubbish. Anyway, I don't remember us being outplayed by them at all...

Good point. Basically I was just saying looking into individual performances is usually a poor reflection of how strong a team is, Wigan aren't worldbeaters after today and neither are Wolves the absolute pits.

Christ

Gotta say though Wigan have looked far more solid with Al-Habsi in goal rather than Kirkland. You could say he is a good Oman for them...

'That lot' in which you billed as a good side and thought we'd be comfortably beaten by? I thought we'd be beaten, yes. Comfortably? I don't remember saying that. They're a better team than us. Seeing them getting destroyed like that is worrying. So then drawing 1-1 away is a pretty good result away to a better team? I think they're pretty shit to be honest. So are we, and so are Wigan. Independent results and performances don't really change that factor, you could also pick out the Wigan - Blackpool result and say that Wigan are dreadful and there is nothing to worry about.

You must be joking. I even feel that way about most of our games, however much on edge I am. I suppose, but I still enjoy them regardless of what they do to emotions. The only games that make me feel physically sick are the derbies, I can never enjoy them as much as I should do - so nervous throughout.

'That lot' in which you billed as a good side and thought we'd be comfortably beaten by?

Possession * Wigan 59% * Wolves 41% Attempts on target * Wigan 17 * Wolves 0 Attempts off target * Wigan 7 * Wolves 2 Man, Wolves were dump in that game even with 10 men.

What kind of reception does Owen get from the mackems in his capacity as "Used to play for Newcastle but not very well"? That conundrum will make their tiny minds explode.

That Manure strikeforce. F off.

What a cunt Henry is.

Wigan again fielding a line-up without an Englishman.

I don't think I can ever describe watching a football match as a 'long hard slog'. I pretty much enjoy every game I watch, even if it's poor. I actually enjoy watching Serie A just as much as I do the Premier League on a whole. They're both different styles, but each throw up their fair share of dross.

I don't think this was posted, but he's recieved his first international call-up. http://fourfourtwo.com/news/euro2012/64591/default.aspx http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/01102010/2/soccer-slovenia-squad-euro-2012-qualifiers.html Will be up against Edmundsson when they play the Faroes.

You still get some great matches in Serie A.

Nedved was the proverbial dogs nads. Replacing Zidane you say? Easy. Just about the only player who could have done it effectively imo.

Nah, seriously I don't really know how Juve will be this season. Del Neri is still trying to get his 4-4-2 going with them so maybe he'll turn them round this season, but there squad is very average by Juve standards IMO.

Just a one off, Juve are the pits

19:45, Nixon. On ESPN over here.

Reckon Coutinho will play? He looked great against Werder.

Obviously it comes down to personal opinion, but I would take Miller, Bednar, and Fortune over Shola, who is really a constantly injured, inconsistent nothing. Them 3 players are just nothing players imo. Fortune looked poor in Scotland and Bednar is dreadful. Miller was quite promising at one stage however, but he's even more injury prone than Shola recently.

Shola is better than Cox, Miller, Bednar and Fortune.

Apparently looked half arsed in the reserves so really fighting for his place, that said apparently young foreign players should walk into the first team otherwise they have every right to be disillusioned and not bother. I know you're annoyed about Besty boy being left out of the thread title, but no need to go all hormonal.

Just checked and his goals to starts ratio in the Premier League is better than that of these 3. I know it doesn't mean that much, but still.
