I don't get Ramires, sometimes he's awesome but most of the time I've seen him play he's absolutely terrible...for both club and country

Hahaha

That journalism: 'They made a check on FC Sion striker Moussa Konate recently and are among a clutch of clubs who have previously watched FC Basel’s highly-rated centre-back Fabian Schar, who is also attracting interest from FC Basel.' Christ. :lol: :lol: :lol:

HUNTELAAAAAAR

I know they've got plenty of space to move around in but they really pop the ball around nicely.

Bale looks so depressed man.

What a game so far. 3-3

'The way the team was set up was perfect' Oh fuck off :lol:

Same here, thought Mehdi was in for a public bollocking there.

Agreed. He gave the ball away a few times but there wasn't exactly a lot on in front of him. Our lack of movement is criminal, I can't believe we can get away with it at the top level...how the f*** are we 11th #bestleagueintheworld Don't let the fact there are teams as crap as us higher than 11th in every league on the planet, mind. Fact? ...in your opinion, yes. I can see Rayo Vallecano and Hannover 96 (in an 18 team league) easily beating us at the moment. Coupled with the severe lack of technical ability for many teams in the Prem, it's a reasonable thing to say that our league is overrated and (in my opinion) not the best league in the world at this current moment in time.

How on earth has he not given that?

Riviere :lol:

When all's said and done...this is what stands out for me. Without meaning to alienate or belittle a huge number of people from a region I respect greatly...are our fans fucking retarded or what? Fuck sake man.

The 0-6 was horrendous and worse for being at home. That Liverpool team is also nowhere near the quality of this City team either. The 7-3 away at Arsenal though was nowhere near yesterdays humiliation for me. There was a real difference to that one. The team were always in the game, giving it their all and basically ran out of legs because of the tough fixtures, while Arsenal were well rested. It looked bad, but it was understandable and more excusable, at least for me. Yesterday was an utter disgrace for the sheer lack of effort. The simple things like not tracking the man that you're just letting run right past you. That lack of effort is pathetic and unacceptable. A lot of it comes down to Carver's lack of authority. He doesn't have any because of his personality and he doesn't have any as a temporary manager to a team already considering where they'll holiday this Summer. Can you imagine an Alex Ferguson team playing with that little effort. He'd have gone in after and had such an outburst, involving smashing things up, that the players would fear for their lives if they ever played with such low effort again. Instead we have Carver saying the players will go away and think about it. You honestly couldn't make it up. He makes the wrong call at every turn. I'm not one for promoting autocratic or angry management, but there's a time for softly softly management and yesterday was not it. There needs to be a balance of the nice guy approach and the kick up the arse when needed. Yesterday was a time for some arse kicking. Eugh mate that 0-6 defeat brings back painful memories. Had been working my arse off down in Sussex for 15 days straight, drove up with the mrs on the Saturday with hotel booked, dinner, Platinum club tickets etc (it cost me a fortune...you get the jist). Had a pleasant drink in Shearer's before the game with the sun out and everything was looking good...the tonic to my hard work in the previous days. Then Pardew and our players entered the pitch. Ended up being a fucking shit weekend, drove back down south the next day hungover, penniless, pissed off, with a broken wing mirror (thanks whoever that was) and I managed to cut my dick ever so slightly in my jeans' zipper. Just to add insult to injury the A1, M25 and M23 were absolutely rammed with traffic which was odd for a Sunday. Haven't been back to SJP since, last time I watched the lads play was away at Fulham last March in that turgid, horrible 1-0 defeat. Sometimes it's easy to forget how long its been since its been enjoyable to follow the club.

Playoffs. Great in the Championship, I personally wouldn't like to see them in the Premier League. They do make the lower leagues great fun to watch though

that's just creepy We've scored one more?! Get in lads, progress

Yeah! It's absolutely crazy! The term isn't even typically used in London or anywhere in the UK for that matter. It'll likely be a few of the young guys on the team that are into their hip hop and that bit of American culture that use the term. He's heard it off them, and has tried to be clever, and act like it's a common term that has always been a London thing even from back when he played. He's got serious problems. Couldn't believe it when I saw the quote. It is used a lot though in London man, that's the thing...I cringe when I hear it. Although I hate to admit I've used it myself. How he can claim it's a London term though is baffling, I'm guessing the next step is for Pards to drop some fire bars on SBTV or something

Wow, that's your criteria for establishing whether someone's bright or not? Critical thinking clearly isn't your strong point, I suggest you go back to school Ron...or maybe not, as it's likely the source of your aforementioned insecurity.

You're so insecure, it's painful :lol: Well it's either that or Mourinho's a c*** and you're not very bright. I'll get back to you. Deciphering my intelligence from a pretty simplistic statement on Mourinho? Even with your basic grasp of English, my second language? I won't be getting back to you

:lol: Hardly a slip when he does it all the time though. Never heard a manager refer to himself so much...'I'm an experienced manager', 'I've got a good record', 'I always bring young players through' etc etc

You're so insecure, it's painful :lol:

That's a penalty, Allen's nowhere near it

Christ almighty what a goal

Minimal hip-to-hip contact. 'Seen them given'
