Keeeeegurn!

Ooooh, interesting.

Christ almighty, what a chance.

I think you've solved it. Has to be leprosy! If he had leprosy and I was the manager he'd be straight on the pitch and as far away from me as fucking possible. I'm not sitting around with a leper. He'd get skinned left, right and centre, that's for sure.

"Looks like Materazzi's warming up - I think that's the last thing this game needs at the minute".

Barcelona, Queen of the South, Ross County - 15/2. Messi first goal and 3-1 - 20/1. Xavi first goal - 14/1.

Doesn't look rapey.

I wouldnt say it was something he 'badly needs to work on'. Its not like if he doesnt practice his shooting in training over the summer and puts some extra curricular shooting in as well that he's going to stop being a good footballer and the rest of his future is doomed. He doesnt get too many chances with his feet, we put crosses in for him, so he scores headers. He is inexperienced in front of goal, his thinking time and decisions aren't like Rooneys, Torres etc. But look at Defoe, he only started scoring in the last couple of years. He's a good prospect, a very good header of the ball, competent with the ball at his feet (he may not carry the ball as far as Jonas but he still looks like he has it under control at least) decent touch and learning well. I don't get your disdain with Carroll. Such a bad example man, sorry. I'm sure if you watched a video of 'Jermain Defoe 04-08 at Spurs' you'd agree more. Or dig out forum posts on defoe in 05/06.... much the same I would bet. No he wouldn't. Haha. Surely you must agree... Jermain Defoe was criticised for his inconsistency, wild shooting, not scoring enough, being quick and getting into positions and not taking them after showing promise.... Pretty much the same arguement you are putting forward for Carroll, but they are different players with different abilities. Thats all I'm saying, and look at him now, considered a quality goal scorer and that hasn't been the case for very long! I just dont think we should be hounding a 21 year old for weaknesses in his abilities. Yes but there was most probably similar craic about Francis Jeffers at one point or another, and look at him now. Not having a go at all like but if your point is that young players sometimes get a lot better when they're older then I hardly think that needs to be said.

Defoe was notorious for not scoring enough goals, not taking his chances, swinging his feet at the ball..... Then he got a run of games in a good team and showed his ability. He was always a good prospect but he hasn't been considered a finished article until the last couple of years, and he's 27! I know he needs to shoot to be a striker, but its not as if he has a ticking clock against him.... just relax. If he has it he'll be good if he doesn't he wont, he doesn't need people on forums he needs to be working on his shooting....its not like he's going to listen even if it would help, Im sure he must have been advised against growing corn-rows... I'm with you on Carroll to an extent, I just think Defoe's a terrible example. He's doubtless scored a lot more goals than he has on average this year but looking at his Wiki he's got 24 this season. He got 22 with Spurs in 04-05 (when he was 23?) He's always been a goalscorer with a decent return and 168 goals in 393 career appearances doesn't really support the idea that he's just came into goalscoring form this season. As for Carroll I had my doubts before Christmas, but you can see that he's improving all the time. He's only 21 but if he comes on at the same rate that he has this year then he's got a lot of potential. Even more so given the lack of strikers in his mould in today's game.

I don't see why it should result in an argument (although you’re possibly right), the accounts will not be subjective. I know we'll not all agree on everything but that happens in most threads as people form an opinion on everything. If nothing else, at least you know where to avoid. Aye, exactly. Wasn't saying it wasn't worth a thread or owt - because it clearly is - but you know. I'll be reading the thread when the accounts get published but I doubt I'll last more than a few pages. Anyway: Ashley Out.

doubt there'll be any bickering. In theory I shouldn't have spotted this post since this thread is opposite-bookmarked. You can't be for real anyway madras. You know as well as I do that it'll disolve into the same tedious s**** it always does. what you trying to say like "fred was great" ? :lol:

What's the opposite of bookmark? I'm metaphorically opposite-bookmarking this thread. No offence to you mind Mick - the bickering in these threads just fries my brain.

I really don't like that Tarrabt like.

Notts County 5-0 up now.

Barton not even on the bench? Always fucking forget someone when i do these. Aye swap with R.Taylor. R.Taylor not even on the bench? Fuck him the miserable cunt.

All going according to plan. Oh, apart from Stirling Albion being 3-0 down to Cowdenbeath at half time.

Why 1pm?

Same I'm thinking much the same, unless he gained a French driving license as it was easier. If he had a French licence before he moved over here then it's probably above board. That transfers to an international licence, which is valid for a year iirc. After that he'd have to do his test over here. Also I don't know if I'm definitely remembering this right but I think the international licence might be re-activated each time you come back into the country. Might be wrong about that last bit, can't remember properly.

I think you're interpreting 'journeyman' wrong.

Ahhhhhh, it's page 999.

Got £6 on Roma, Rosenborg, Marseilles, Sporting Lisbon, returns about £29.
