He's a horrible charver looking gimp. Just like that last striker they had.

Dale Johnson ‏@dalejohnsonESPN 1m Players one card away from two-match ban. Amnesty comes in on Monday. Mbia, Shawcross, Lowton, Suarez, David Luiz, Perch and Gary Caldwell Could do with a Suarez yellow card today.

If Sheff Wed hold on against Leeds they will go 9th Championship is ridiculous, they were relegation zone like 2 weeks ago. Edit: 1-1 just as I say that

What? wat

Just realised these are 2nd in the Fairplay league, so if England finishes in the top 3 leagues (4th as of the last juncture in January) they'll get in Europe through the back door

Feel better about this one.

3-3 now, last minute equaliser. Great game.

How many 'Wearside branches' are there in Northumberland? It's always surprised me since I moved to Prudhoe, just how few mackems there are. In my year at school there was I think 2 - that's the whole Prudhoe, Wylam, Stocksfield etc area. I can't account for the rest of Northumberland, but here they are very few and far between.

Imagine ours going like this

Sevilla 0-3 up in the derby against Betis.

Still think his all round game is too erratic for someone like Bayern.... he actually reminds me of Mario Gomez except Gomez is a lot stronger and more of an aerial threat. Gomez is dogshit. They've been trying to turn this genemix plank into a striker for about 5 years. He'll take down the euro. 'Dogshit'

Can just imagine the sadness, head in hands - while wearing those stupid fucking glasses.

Crying here. Watched it in 3D :lol:

Let's be honest, who's to argue with Jesus?

One angry looking taxidermy that.

NSIS I'd have said Cabaye but while he disappeared over both legs Cisse turned up. Why only consider the two matches with Benfica? How about the likes of Ben Arfa, Mbiwa, Cabaye (indeed) or Krul? If anything I'd say the big clubs will look at Cisse's lack of consistency and steer well clear. Ben Arfa, too injury prone. Mbiwa, hasn't shown enough yet. Cabaye, too many times he has games like against Benfica. Didn't think about Krul, maybe. Cisse is the most likely, Bayern were strongly interested before he came here. Well, if I was the manager of a "top club" I would look at the chances Cisse missed in those two matches you conventiently use to discard Cabaye as a stronger candidate to succeed at a higher level and think his 'erraticness' may have cost us the tie.. Yeah but you have an agenda. He had two excellent all-round games in both legs and was desperately unlucky not to score more than the two he got. What is my agenda? You don't like him. Because he's an erratic instinct goalscorer rather than a shilky Dutch mashter with great allround technical ability you will consistently criticise him. I do like him. He seems a good character, and he brings important qualities to the table, especially for a side like us that isn't exactly overflowing with attacking talent. People who have been saying he needs to be played centrally in 1 4-3-3 have been proven correct, that appears to be his best position, and I can even stomach the stereotypical "give him service and he will score" to an extent. But I also have big worries about him, the main ones being: - he doesn't score enough and neither do our other players to be able to afford to play a 4-3-3 with him as a lone striker for us to challenge for Europe consistently, which is where I want us to be. This season his own chance conversion ratio is nowhere near good enough, and it's cost us many valuable points. - he is purely a converter of chances, not a creator. He seems unable to fashion a chance for himself out of nothing other than by speculative long range efforts, or to create chances for his team mates. - he seems to lack intelligence in certain situations, i.e. staying onside or showing composure by laying it off when somebody else is much better placed, which often breaks down our play. - physically he isn't exactly commanding, meaning for example he is hardly ever a threat from set pieces or gets into a goalscoring position unless he isn't tightly marked. Now I know this goes against popular opinion, but it's the way I see it. We heavily rely on him, because we have no realistic alternatives, and I hardly want him gone or anything, but I do feel he is overrated by many on here.. What about his chance conversion last season playing in a confident, functioning side and in his best position the majority of the time? Was he good enough during that spell? I don't understand how you can draw out a whole list of criticisms for Cisse, yet spent the entire summer pining to bring the greasy lump back. Last year he was fantastic, I won't deny that. This year he hasn't been, and apparently I'm one of the few people on here who has noticed and/or is willing to call a spade a spade. Alreet Di Canio, nee need for that like. He hasn't been as good this season for a plethora of reasons, IMO, not just his own poor performances.

1-0 wasn't it? Sibierski?

He did score every game when it was Ben Arfa and somebody else
