Colo's captaincy has to play into that eh? Not that I'd mind seeing Cabaye take the armband

Hey Mexico are playing so at least I'll get to watch it on tv

What about the first? Silly but that stuff happens all the time. The second was a real let down though. The first goal conceded belongs to Perch. Bale should never have gotten away with that bullshit kick. Even if Perch had stood on his toes he'd have blocked that shot. Instead it goes straight over his head and he turns to watch it, disgusting on the replay. Also for Colo's part it's the kind of foul you see day in and day out and that's why we form a f***ing wall in the first place. Second goal is down to Colo and Taylor both, imo, Colo blew it to begin with but its no good when you have a situation where it's 100% certain that a centerback can't track back and at least pressure a forward who's got behind. Colo left Taylor out to dry, but god damn a CB with a shred of pace could have at least made Bale sweat a bit on the shot. Overall I'd like to see us phase Colo and Taylor both out. Both players are nearing the end of their peak abililities and while I have a lot of love for both players and they have both been great servants for the club, it is time to start looking toward replacements. Hopefully Mbiwa is the business and we can blood him in and bring in another hungry young CB behind him in the next year or two. Taylor turned 27 about 3 weeks ago and is finally showing himself to be a good defender. Can we fit him with rocket boots?

Aye they are on to him and he has to make the opposition at least respect the idea that he will go down the touchline. Even if he just goes down to the corner flag and then passes back to someone else with his right foot... it's a s*** attack but at least it will mean that next time he moves to the corner of the box they won't be 100% positive that he is going to cut in. You have to create some doubt in your opponents mind even if it means using your less effective techniques... editors note:: I fully rate the player and I hope we keep him long term, he's the sort of fellow who I am optimistic will actually make the sort of improvements that are asked of him

I nearly got into a fight with Carlos Cuellar in a Birmingham nightclub after the 1-1 last season at Villa Park. He was a right f***ing arsehole. ...and that's why I'm on this forum. I have to be part of the culture.

Aye he's like the result if you crossed Jonas with a footballer

Looked like the initial shot was on frame anyway

Hopefully its in the 94th minute then.....

Should get Colo to sign his mask

Not sure why we (myself included) expected Klinnsman to be such a godsend back when he signed up. Isn't this his first head coaching job? Seems to be making a mess of it, imo.

Fawk, that looks pretty damn good. But then, so does ours. The midfield battle is going to be intense. For everyone talking about a loss ruining your weekend: A win will fuck mine up too (mind you, I'm happy to be fucked up this way) because I'll probly end up staying up all night 'til kickoff, then if we win there's no way I'll be going to sleep at 7am after FT. So I'll be running around getting drunk til noon at least and then my sleep schedule will have been set to 1-9pm or so... Oh well. Howay the french!!

Even trickier on the west coast man. 4:45am is fucked whether you stay up for it or get up early, as I'm more of a noon-riser usually. It's such a rare opportunity to get to watch a match on my actual tv though, so it's just a question of whether I stay up or try to get a few hours of sleep before kickoff. Luckily I have f***-all to do on Saturday so I can just zonk out after.

hahahaha what the fuck

We aren't willing to shell out the bribe money necessary for that honor, so Qatar it is.

Yeah I am just pissed off at our whole program and country. It's sad that we have such an athletic powerhouse of a nation and we waste it on games no one else cares about. We love dominating the world militaristically, why not athletically? ESPN picked up the Mexico game but not the USA game for fucks sake. Tells you the whole story when you have to pirate a stream of your own national team from a foreign country.

On the contrary, Bradley is arguably our best player. Aye that's why he only "sucks" instead of being "complete shitte" like the rest of those pricks.

He's always been a lazy prick. Even when he was in shape, and had every tool to be successful, he couldn't be arsed. Reminds me of that complete waste of time Freddy Adu.

Sources for courses mate.

Howard and Dempsey are our only players worth a shit (Donovan doesn't give a fuck and will retire soon). Bradley sucks, everyone else is actively bad. I want to slap Altidore personally.

I will f***ing kill you

This makes four times in a row that exact thing has happened in concacaf away games.

No idea why Lazy Altidore still starts for us. He is the American Shola except he doesn't score goals...

We are so terrible it's not even funny.

So hilarious how shit both those transfers ended up being. Liverpool managed to get paid 15million to sign Carrol and it still somehow backfired. 50m for Torres is just plain lol.
