  1. Edward Bretherton ‏ @ebretherton #Coloccini in pfa's team of the year. What is the world coming to? Surely there are half a dozen better centre backs. #newcastle #pfawho Budding sports journalist. He's fulfilled the main requirement of knowing fuck all.
  2. Would take Clyne and poss Rodriguez here out of that team.
  3. Kelvin Davies, Nathaniel Clyne, James Tomkins, Curtis Davies, Ian Harte, Peter Wittingham, Adam Lallana, Mark Noble, Matt Phillips, Jay Rodriguez, Rickie Lambert Championship team of the year.
  4. all those missed chances and hitting the crossbar, it's not coincidence at all, it simply reflects on the way they play the game - no one in there who can stretch the game and play on the break to open defences up, and similarly no one in the centre of the pitch to put their foot on the ball, slow down the tempo and be patient. The way they play is at 110mph, no subtlety there at all - it's all snatched chances in congested penalty boxes, saurez weaving his way into the box having no space to get a shot away from absurdly tight angles, shite crosses too high for carroll, long rangers from gerrard and henderson, kuyt trying to fart it in off his arse etc. they are not crafting gilt-edged chances, one on ones, situations where someone can choose their corner and side foot it in. poor quality of chances = less of them converted. Spot on. Too much graft and forcing the issue with hollywood crosses/passes - not enough craft, guile and intelligence. The predictable result of a buy British policy.
  5. Savage was spot on. Their midfield is as much of a problem as the forwardline.
  6. Arsenal fans spitting venom because he got in ahead of Koscielny.
  7. So many idiots questioning his inclusion.
  8. He hasn't really done it at any point of his NUFC career though. He's picked out some cracking raking passes into players in space before (Coloccini last season, Carroll a few times in the Championship) but nothing like those that madras listed.
  9. I had basically just drafted that exact same post madras, even down to the same incidents highlighted. Quite eery.
  10. It's been good to see Spurs go to shit regardless of whether they fuck it up altogether. Every single year without fail they are the most overrated team in the league.
  11. Great play from Glen Johnson on Odemwingie's goal. Best right back in the league according to Liverpool fans.
  12. Sifu's is individual season, the one you posted is the 5 season cumulative. (the one they actually use)
  13. Can't understand the genuine hatred Liverpool fans have for Hodgson.
  14. Oh yeah, Liverpool and their supposed brilliant football but just miss chances. I forgot about that chestnut. They're shit.
  15. Sick to the back teeth of these mag bastards like.
  16. Nobody would want to draw us as the unseeded team. We'd be the best out of that group.
  17. There has been no stage this season where Cabaye has been 'shit' compared to Guthrie. There's been times where Guthrie has matched and sometimes outshone Cabaye's ability on the ball in games, but that's it. It's as if people are just completely ignoring the vast difference in both players when it comes to ground covered, pressing, positional play, tackling, tactical awareness etc etc. I'm not taking anything away from Guthrie who's had a bit of a breakthrough season in his career but it's just ridiculous hyperbole.
  18. Agreed. Could do a job for Wigan or somebody, nowhere near good enough for us.
