Didn't you say last night that if Harewood came back we'd have four of the best strikers in the league? We could've done with a Harewood vintage tonight like, maybe the Notts Forest or Doncaster perormances. Harewood has more goals than your pal Carroll despite having half the time on the pitch. If Ranger, Ryan Taylor and Steven Taylor had finished their easy chances today would anyone have even brought up Harewood? No...

Exactly. Some people like to rewrite history though... Everytime we draw or lose some idiots are going to bring up Harewood. We went on our worst run because Harewood was shoehorned into the team.

Why didn't Shola put a chance away then? He's our best striker isn't he? Maybe it's because we have a **** central midfield.

Nolan 6

Did Carroll glass you or something? Him and Lovenkrands were working well together, if we'd stuck with them we probably would have scored.

Shola was dog s*** when he came on though. All those Ronaldinho like flicks that either went to no-one or bounced back off his other leg. Carroll is worse. You obviously hate Carroll and keep posting this rubbish but our play went downhill when he came off.

Exactly.

We were crap when Carroll came off and Nolan was abysmal.

Respect from our hosts who sang 'where were you when you were ****'?

It's the Carroll attitude spreading, that being said, would it have been as bad if Smudger was on? He tends to only play one style (most carded player in league in all) Carroll attitude? He was one of most committed players, challenging for every ball. Harewood attitude would be more like it...

Shaking with rage sounds better.

Not really... No-one is saying that are they? Apart from armchair critics.

That's a bit rich coming from you. What's wrong with what I said then?

Doesn't get many chances/snatching at chances he does get. It's obvious he can score the goals Harewood does. It's crazy to say that Ranger couldn't score from threee yards and anyone who says otherwise is just being contrary. On the other hand not every player can get himself into these positions but Ranger obviously can do this as well as everyone keeps saying he keeps missing sitters... And of course what Mick says adds to it. I've said it before, put him in Harewood's position and vice versa and Harewood wouldn't have scored as many goals as he has done.

Umm....ok. It's weird how he got this far in his football career without the ability to stick in ball in the goal from 3 yards out like.

Does that mean it was extended because they appealed?

You sound like one of those weedy kids at school who's never played sport. You sound like an absolute moron who's about 32 with a beer belly and 2 kids he didn't plan on having. 33 actually.

... is that a pisstake? Ranger's missed countless sitters, man. You think he would have buried them two headers against Swansea, or pulled off that lob at Barnsley? Come off it man. Are you saying Ranger doesn't have the ability to score the goals Harewood is scoring? Ranger may have missed a couple of chances but look at Harewood against Notts Forest (couldn't even stick his leg out a yard to knock in a cross in the first half) and he missed a sitter against Boro. Ranger starts less games than Harewood and so, as I've mentioned before, most of the time when Ranger comes on we've given up attacking. We persevered with Harewood after some **** games, why can't we do the same with Ranger?

"The recent FIFA World Player of the Year award was given to Lionel Messi, the runaway winner, but had John Terry had his way it would have been very different. The Chelsea skipper voted for two of his teammates, Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack, in the top two positions, while he plumped for Andres Iniesta of Barcelona in third." http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/12/22/1703234/john-terrys-fifa-world-player-vote-revealed Ballack in his top three and no Messi...

Rugby league is a working class sport but the players still seem capable of respecting officials, unlike footballers.

Likewise most rugby players couldn't compete in a game of football. Skill-wise obviously but I'd say all backs in rugby would easily cope physically.
