Found it but it's spinning out of control, going too fast to read any more http://i.imgur.com/avs3M1w.png FFS. Five stars for you.

I don't think it was an Italian thing, he pointed at himself then pushed his own chin up, so I think he was trying to say he was keeping his chin up. It wasn't the "I don't care" chin brush, unfortunately

I seem to remember him scoring a quality goal against Man Utd the season before he signed for us. Met him in a pub once btw, lost control of myself and said "Hi Les, you're amazing...", could have played it cooler like. I just know I'd do that too.

Absolutely phenomenal player, he ripped us apart a few times when he was at QPR before we signed him, winning the header then getting to his own flick-on first, he was unplayable at that time. Seems like a good bloke too.

Oh, man, they're still banging on about this on Total Sport. Happen I were off work this afternoon and watched Goals on Sunday back with the grandbairn (he hasn't got Sky Sports at home) so did a bit of rewind and replay - Koscielny, who nearly got it off the line, stopped at the whistle and didn't restart until he saw Altidore was playing on. The bairn's sharp eyes saw him do a comedy quadruple-take, in fact, (ref, Altidore, ref, Altidore) before he started lumbering goalwards again, although it was all blurred to mine. He would have easily got it without the pause. Not a clear goalscoring opportunity, not a red card, no advantage, a definite yellow and free-kick, a good decision. Go on, Mr Atkinson, have a good game this weekend again.

Aye, but Ki will.

Wenger does that all the time How have I never noticed this? Is this a thing? Peter Beardsley did it twice on Goals on Sunday today. Double "top top". It's getting too close to home. What a player he was though, the highlights reel was tremendous.

That's what I reckoned. Generally speaking, journalists on that show are dreadful self-important liars.

Jonathan Norcroft on that annoying Sunday Supplement show said there's a fans' group up in arms that we haven't signed more French players. Is that a real thing or is he just making stuff up, as they all do, and his buddies will just add that to the list of lies they all believe and will repeat? If he hadn't specified French then undoubtedly true, but it was in a discussion about quotas of Englishmen, so his point was definitely that they had to be French.

Harps on Soccer AM today and Pedro on Goals on Sunday tomorrow if anyone doesn't know.

Pundits saying "top top". I'm sure Merson said "top top top top" on Saturday. Stop stop stop stop, you mugs.

This fucker's gonna have to find some real humanitarian moves to make me hate him less. What a twat.

Always thought Jan Mølby's Scouse one was a good effort too.

Not only that. He picks footballers with odious personalities. Most likely it's that they are the only types who can stomach him. The day he somehow succumbs to a hemorrhagic fever is the day I'll name my child Ebola in honor. Mine will be Aebola obvs.

You like losing to Hull mate? Don't, we play them SOON. I'm taking the bairn, so don't jinx it, we're unbeaten in our matchgoing so far. Dunno if I can stomach another burger, like, but he'll want one. Sigh.

You made me laugh. Which was nice.

Damn. Atletico Bilbao. I know, but only for a while. Bloody foreigners. And it was Southampton, before you start.

What about people calling Internazionale "Inter Milan" or people calling Sporting Club de Portugal, "Sporting Lisbon"? Don't get me started. People calling Milan "AC". It's like saying "FC". Wtf? "Football Club should be doing this." What? Any particular football club? Would you care to specify? My gears have been grinding for a long time on this one, Sporting Club de Portugal being another fave. And indeed Internazionale. Dammit, I think I need a holiday.

Yes, he was, did you see the goal at Bolton? That fuckwit Motson said it was lucky. Allardyce probably did too as it flashed past him. Arseholes. Imo obvz.

That's why Cole gets a pass from me for singing along to the anti NUFC/KK songs the Man Utd fans were singing at Wembley. Fair enough, different ages. I despise Cole for that, but... no, I still despise him. Treachery, biting the hand that fed him, all that. It was despicable behaviour. We weren't even playing them! No pass for him. Sorry, no.

I remember it being 100 yards in the old money, and he could've made the relay squad. Built like a brick outhouse, like, I wouldn't have fancied him barrelling towards me. Ffs, his home debut v Liverpool, hat-trick, got his teeth knocked out by Ray cunting Clemence, carried off - no stretchers in those days - men were men and sly Argentinian divers were a futuristic dream. He was a "Fuck you" centre-forward and I'll always carry that with me. Thunderbolt of a shot too.

Same. What a player he was, rampaging through defences, unbelievably fast and powerful. That was exactly the time my dad gave in and started taking me to matches, I was so lucky to see all that because it wasn't on TV all the time like it is now. I can remember him giving Tony Dunne a 10 yard headstart and getting the ball 10 yards in front. That was like "Wow". And that goal against Burnley from Terry Hibbitt's pass in the FA Cup semi running 20 yards with Colin Waldron hanging off his neck. I couldn't believe that. Strong like bull. I actually don't care if he's an arrogant dick, he gets a pass on that because he made me love football.

Anthropological banter. Where else would you get that?

Given that most players don't know the laws of the game we should totally do that. But I guess our guys wouldn't know what "indirect" means. Dammit. "See the man?" "See his hand up?" "Kick the ball hard." "Good boy."

Partly Correct, as long as the free kick was taken correctly then the ball is in play. The ball must, however, touch another player before a goal can be scored. The restart would be a goal kick, as the ball left the field of play over the goal Lin last touched by an attacking player. It's great having a qualified ref on here for this stuff.
