Interpolic

Wasn't that far off that today at times IMO. As long as those 3 are furthest forward and we're playing it on the deck we're on to a winner.

God, that kit patter was horrendous.

Yes.

Not just average players, Ben Arfa is a far more effective player too. Not that Pardew will be given any credit mind. We would be winning the league by now if that bottling cunt Pardew played him earlier. I don't understand you in this thread, Jon. Who you annoyed with? Just call them out because posts like that are getting annoying. I do think Ben Arfa should have had more time on the pitch this season but am glad we're seeing the best of him now. Goalscoring record's looking very decent as well. Looks like we need to ensure Ba, Cisse and HBA are on the pitch and furthest forward and not hoof the ball and we'll cause any team problems. If Pardew understands that then fantastic, today was immensely encouraging and I'd love to see us push on.

I still can't believe someone bought Glen Johnson for 16M. Must wank alongside Downing, Henderson & Carroll transfers as pure money down the drain. http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/passtheremote/woss.jpg

Bit in bold reads brilliantly. I'm aware Messi isn't Irish, however the point I'm making is that Allardyce completely negates his flaky point with the last 5 words of the article, insisting "until Messi does it on the international stage he could still be compared unfavourably with Pele, Maradona — and don’t forget, George Best". If international football's so important then why's he throwing George Best in there in the first place?

Get the fuck out Seriously? Nah. Sorry mate. He did say this though... ... which is entirely reasonable, people are always forgetting about George Best winning the World Cup on his own for Northern Ireland.

Allardyce claimed Okocha was better in his Standard column this evening.

Actually I've shortchanged Barton a bit there, expecting a disgruntled tweet any minute.

Difficult to judge it on the whole given that Carroll wasn't with us all season but I'd go something like Coloccini>>>Carroll>Tiote>>Enrique>Jonas (as if my stupid little arrows make any fucking difference ). Carroll was looking unstoppable although it is easy to forget he was injured in December which continued into his early days at Liverpool. Pretty sure he'd have came back into the side and made a very significant contribution though. I do agree that Coloccini's been our best and most important player for nearly 3 seasons now, by a long shot.

Well yeah, Carroll didn't put any good shifts in for us after we sold him.

It's the way you phrase 'em Ronaldo, anyone would think you did it deliberately.

You said they were a "long way" from being our best players. Only Coloccini and Tiote have a hope in hell of challenging them from that 11.

Well he was brilliant for 12 months but half of it was in a lower league. Such a bad transfer for him and Liverpool like.

I am starting to wonder about Carroll mind, I've almost starting forgetting what a class player he was looking for us. I was gutted about the transfer and would have taken him back for ages but I'm not sure now. Just doesn't look very threatening and it's been a long time.

That is nonsense. Carroll was easily our most important players while he was here last season. Enrique was also consistently in the team and consistently performed at an exceptional level. It is revisionist to say otherwise. Spot on. Our first choice 11 while both were here was probably Harper/Simpson-Colo-Taylor-Enrique/Barton-Nolan-Tiote-Jonas/Carroll-Ameobi, they were easily 2 of our best players.

How fucking dare you, Mick.

JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! Not you, Taylor.

Seemed to really like Liverpool. Figures.

Both just totally incredulous at it all, brilliant.

Liverpool can't finish though, you've said as much yourself. You betting on most shots?

Yer ma gives yer blowies. BAM! Take that, hotshot.

Forgot he played Lovenkrands on the left.
