  1. Good kickabout as always lads. Going to have a couple of decent bruises from the two ruthless wipeouts received
  2. Cracking effort that, good value for the point. That display looks lush in the pics, great stuff. Very good atmosphere in the Gallowgate today as well. Obviously special mentions for Yedlin & that Shelvey ball. Hopefully this lass sorts out a sale for us.
  3. Very unlikely that Santon will have a better career than Neville tbf
  4. Man U could get any score they want here.
  5. Atrocious refereeing in Bilbao. Justice done with a brilliant pela save.
  6. Eh, they calling him out as a nonce?
  7. Class that. Was the Anglo Italian cup a big joke? That Bari ground dies look canny like, albeit the fans are 2 miles from the pitch.
  8. Ryan will play though, surely. Anyway, best of luck to him. Think he's completely gone as a keeper, but he's a top bloke and a geordie. Great memories.
  9. All seems very weird. The rest of the squad, bar Aluko, all appear to be fully supportive of him. Can't help bit think that Aluko is just trying to milk the situation as much as possible.
  10. Strange timing yo allow it. Is he 2nd choice for this lot?
  11. Said it before but the use of stats in football, bar goals (and assists to a degree), is a clear sign that someone knows absolutely nothing about the sport. Sky are attempting to force us to adopt the American model of relying on nothing other than meaningless statistics. That's just not true. There might be too much importance placed on them, but statistics in context are a very strong method of analysis, and can give insights into less glamorous aspects of the game that are just as important. Distance covered, passing accuracy, key chances created, tackles. All important descriptive statistics if used properly and in context. Key chances created is probably the main one used that gets on me tits. Utter bobbins. Well that's just because Sissoko used to get really high chances created numbers and it didn't tie in with your views Not at all, I've been fairly consistent in my hatred of shite stats. They certainly weren't needed to confirm Sissoko was shite, despite your protestations.
  12. Aye, of course. Football is about entertainment, and you can't measure that with (particularly well) statistics. If we're talking about arguments over player efficacy, accuracy or other discrete data, then obviously statistics are important. A: "player x always gives the ball away" B: "Not true, he has x% pass accuracy, above league average" Which completely ignores the type of situations in which the player gives the ball away. Huge difference between giving the ball away under pressure to giving the ball away from a hoof forward. With 'key chance' it's also completely arbitrary. Some nerd in a box determining what a key chance. I'd much rather talk about genuine football than numbers.

  14. An odd little drip of a man. Hopefully Cavani knees him in the back like that Colombian hero.

  16. Tbf I had also said it about Jose Enrique 8 ago. Equal opportunities.
  17. My results back up TCD's theories somewhat. I'm out.
  18. You'd think the best way to go about it would be for the league to subsidise ticket prices for the lesser clubs, as opposed to outright punishing them and constantly tossing off Barca & Real.
  19. Whey, it's obviously weird as fuck, because Manchester United fans are without exception creeps of the highest order. Whether it merits the banhammer is up for discussion. Would they go into a pub and crack the same kind of banter to some black guys? Extremely doubtful, so why is it cool if its done at football? I think a fair rule of thumb is that if its not okay in general society its not okay at the football? I wouldn't go into a pub and start roaring YOU FAT BASTARD in someone's face either like. Football would be embarrassingly sanitised if you applied that logic across the board. yes because thats an equivalency The fat bastard is likely to be more offended tbh. you can tell you've not been anywhere like. Also you've never called anyone a fat bastard in your life? Really? Not to their face, try to avoid getting battered. Keep my offensiveness purely behind backs or behind the safety of a computer. Also, no idea what the first sentence is about Do they teach you how to be desperately PC when you go on holiday to Majorca?
