Stadium rename probs is a bit tenuous though
-
I don't buy that every team in this league has a worse squad. Whetehr 'on their day' our squad is fantastic or not, play as consistently badly as we are and were bound to come unstuck. We won last night because of a premiership keeping performance and a freak goal. Doesn'tseem down to superior squad selection or tactics. It's absolutely baffling. I'm feeling exactly the same as the the OP.

true..players who play crap are easy targets and sometimes the sheep will follow the correct course. Even sheep can see donkeys when they're put in front of them. (confucious say...) Team selection and tactics are the biggest problem no doubt but players such as Butt and Harewood are too old/ineffectual and I get frustrated by it.
-
Harewood had 5 minutes during which all of the play was in our half man. thats my assessment of his time since he's been here, scored against qpr and hasn't tried or done anything else u see when he tried to control that ball on the counter attack, looked lazy imo He's garbage I can't believe its took this many games to dispute it. The man is clueless. Effort is irrelevant. He's a prime example of a player whos relied on brute force and pace and little else his playing career and now he's hit 30 is losing them. I've heard he had to be shouted at to do simple things such as marking whilst he was on the pitch. Think we made things a lot harder for ourselves with all 3 strikers on

Ah fudge it, 2-0. why not....hope we maul em after they got jumped up about beating the kids. Marlon Harewood best turn it in tho. Its really pissing me off that he HAS to play in some capacity. It's like having a man sent off. Two with Butt on the pitch -

Surely this business of being shit and winning is going to end? It's baffling. -

Don't call it Cif Don't call it Tampax Don't call it Coke or Subway that's not my name, always St. James, always St. James Don't it Wimpy Don't call it Pepsi Don't call it Nike Just not the same, that's not its name, always St. James, always St. James loses a bit of vitriol but very different non?

Sounds good. Think calling him a FCB would be an own goal and alienate us from the rest of the country, so I think its important new songs are made up for this. Someone else mentioned to the tune of 'Ketsbia My Lord': St. James' always, St. James' St. James' always, St. James' St. James' always, St. James' Always St. James' Park Winter wonderland: Mike Ashley are you listenin Drop your pies & f*cuking listen Your not wanted here, get your fat arse in gear Drive back down the way you came here or something like that That's really good, last line needs changing though. Much better than the fat cockney b****** one, which is frankly cringe worthy as f***. End line: You'll never defeat Geordieland?

Was a student in sheffield for the last three years. The nursery tavern on ecclesall road by the renault garage should be a pretty safe bet and beer is dirt cheap. Is dead studenty area so shouldnt be too much bother. The marsdens pub by the train station always has a fair few away fans....went past when the smogs were away in me toon strip n got some considerable stick once. -
He's also not been without a certain degree of controversy himself, having gone AWOL for a week at Arsenal and ditching Notts County on a whim.

We haven't signed anyone 30+ since Viduka. Marlon Harewood? We signed Nicky Butt not far shy of 30 and signing players past their best such as Viduka on massive wages is part of why the rot set in. Campbell is past it and will want a king's ransom. Not exactly forward thinking is it? If he can get us promoted at a reasonable expense then fine, we need squad depth but i'm pig sick of signing these players on reputation and not cutting it.
-
Wahey! another 30+ signing. Brill!

Collymore wants new PL where we're guaranteed a place
Darth Crooks replied to Superior Acuña's topic in Football
think hes's alrite as a presenter tbh. Least he supports the Villa rather than bulling up ManUre or the bin-dippers like half the others on the sport radio. They only come up with these insane ideas anyway to boost calls/letters into talkshows/newspapers anyway so i'd take his idea with a pinch of salt. Ridiculous indeed it is though. -
The Cilit Bang Bowl? This really is the final insult...although i'm sure its not now we're 'off the market'. Fyerkin disgrace...especially seeing as i'm named after the place to boot...don't fancy admitting i was named after a stadium that is now better known as the the Tampax/Lidl/Wimpy arena. Grrrrr

Butt or Geremi will feature for some arcane reason. Harewood will start with Carroll. Ranger will get 5 minutes longer than usual. 1-1 -
