Holding it up on the ground is obviosuly always a much higher percentage play. Even the best target men only control a long ball about 15% of the time*. *Actual percentage may be miles different. It's so obvious that Muto is at least 900%* better than Perez or Josepu. *Actual percentage probably true.

All transfer fees go to the FCB. Ever since Carroll went and we didn't see a penny of the £35m, I just assume that nothing gets recycled to the manager.

Harper was such a weird one for us. He could easily have been a PL No.1 at his peak and arguably would have been a shout for England, noting that David James was England keeper for a time. He was too good to be a second choice keeper, but ultimately, we had the best pair of keepers in the league for a period. I think you may be onto something saying that Harper pushed Shay. In the same way that Krul was perhaps pushed by Forster. Bit tragic that we now have Blob doing the pushing. Dubs must know that as long as he doesn't get injured, the shirt is his. Wonder if/when Woodman will emerge as a contender...

Very similar to me. I have almost nothing to remind me of the club during my normal daily routine. I imagine living and working nearer home could be quite painful when you share the angst with others.

Just when you think you've forgotten about this massive bell-end, he does something just to remind everyone that Pardew actually happened to us and that he's an utter thundercunt.

Other than the minor technicality he owns the club and we don't own the stores, sounds plausible. If we're doing that, let's take turns following him around his house and calling him a cunt to his face every waking minute. I'm sure he'd get the message when I'm telling him what a fucking tosser he is whilst he's trying to brush his teeth.

We are, but let's not stop that from spoiling the debate!

Not when I'm paying a small fortune to watch the game. If I wanted to see artistic shots of people gasping, I'd stick Youporn on for free. You're not missing anything when they're showing goal replays like. Usually not. But when they're showing a slow mo replay of players celebrating and you can hear the croud reacting to something, my piss does boil a bit.

After getting a couple of goals, I'm down from 11 to 10

I hate that, and half the time it's replays of celebrations or players/managers' faces. f*** that s***, I want to see the game!

I just don't get that, what are they hoping to achieve. I imagine if some clowns tried to do something like that at SJP normal people would physically tear that banner down.

But yes, Terry is an absolute stroker and would be a fucking awful No.2. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw the horrible, corrupt bastard.

Bar one or two notable exceptions, the very best players tend to be utter nut-jobs, like many extremely gifted people. Being a fucking nutter does not help when you have to manage and lead people. I think that is why almost every great manager was a mediocre player (Guardiola and a very small amount of others excepted). Henry was a great player, but I think he's a touch too eccentric to be a great manager.

I remember as a kid that when setting the wall you would stand far post and set the wall to cover the near side of the goal. Thinking was that it's harder to get the ball up and down to the near side. I'm sure that keepers set the wall the other way round now or even stand near the centre of the goal. I'm sure there's been a bit of a glut of average free kicks going in because the keeper is nowhere near. Might just be me.

With a team that full of talent, why is someone with a track record of missing Pels taking them?! I bet Guardiola is pure fewm.

Lol Mahrez fixed that for you.

Pel at Anfield. Wouldn't happen to a small club.

Tries too hard to 'win' pels/free kicks. If he actually focused on the ball and played the games he'd be alright.

Can't remember the last time Salah has done anything other than throw himself on the floor.

It's not even big team bias. Taylor is a lifelong Man Utd fan, man. Well documented and outrageous that he's allowed to ref them. Blame lies with the FA.

No one would. He is absolutely the best we could hope for with the FCB in charge. If/when he goes we can fully expect some thundercunt like Wise replacing him, so don't wish him away. The problem is with our squad. Trying to get a functioning PL team with the players we have is impossible. It's like trying to make a car with only one wheel and no engine. He's on a hiding to nothing.

He was our least shite striker last season. He's still properly shite though...

Not sure we're thrilled with being contenders for the 17th place trophy every year. Especially not when we were genuine title contenders not so long ago...

:lol:
