The other games today - 2008/09


Recommended Posts

It's a shame because I like how Tony Mowbray goes about setting up his team to play decent passing football, but in the summer they really should have signed a couple of experienced Premiership players and packed the midfield and went one up top and played long ball.

 

Was a brave decision to give it a good shot but a stupid one ultimately.

All about the players man. Watford did exactly that and were embarrassing. Stoke are doing this and aren't in a particularly better position than the Ablions.

I remember him getting laughed onto the pitch at Anfield and walking off it as man of the match.

 

Actually if memory serves me correctly, he was applauded onto the field at Anfield....by the Liverpool fans :lol:

 

correct, it was 05-06 and he walked off an hour and a half later having comfortably been our best player

 

Aye, that's exactly what I was talking about.

Premiership experience? Damien 'moves and fucks his knee' Francis? Chris 'no legs' Powell? We played long ball because we couldn't play passing football, we had two decent wingers, a keeper and a striker (who got crocked in October). We never had a chance man. We had nowhere near enough Premiership experience, and we only played long ball because that's all we could do. Actually though, we didn't really get tonked. Only Manure, Arsenal and Chelsea away plus Liverpool at home, were the only 'embarrassing' games, and even then they weren't all that bad.  :aww:

I f***ing hate Ian (The Prophet), hacking b***tard!

 

To set the story straight, despite his wind-up abilities: I support Everton, I've supported Everton for as long as I can remember, my parents are from Newcastle, but grew up in Darlington.

 

He enjoys winding me/everyone else up.

Fantastic couple of results for us today for Liverpool and Arsenal.

 

Now watch us go and lose tomorrow.

 

I think you'll draw (or lose).

Titus Shambles once again Wigan's star player

 

Decent coaching goes a long way.

 

Defending isn't about talent, it's about coaching, discipline and organisation, without that talent is useless. Titus had the ability, but none of the rest, now he's getting it, it's no wonder you never see him having the piss ripped out of him on MOTD or whatever.

 

Why did Andy O'Brien look like a kingpin at times under Bobby and Titus always looked like he was going to f*** up every two minutes?

 

Whilst i agree that Bruce's faith in Bramble will have helped him, the main reason why he's performing much better is because he hasn't got 50,000 people on his back.

 

Andy O'Brien never looked like a kingpin under Bobby tbh

 

Yes he did.

 

I'm with Ronaldo on this one- O'Brien just made me feel so nervous when he got on the ball. I've never been a fan of his,tbh.

 

If we had a much better player alongside Woody, instead of O'Brien or Bramble, then we would've pushed Man Utd all the way.

O'Brien was never the same after that Bergkamp goal at the Gallowgate imo. We had to play Arsenal 3 times in a fortnight and you could see the fear in his eyes after the third game.

 

He was solid at best and a nervous wreck after those games - Bergkamp tortured him.

I thought Bergkamp rounded Dabizas?

Just pinpointing the period of time he went from 'steady' to 'a nervous wreck'.  :thup:

Stephen Carr in action for Birmingham atm. Just made a surging wobble down the right side.

 

Might just about make it back into position by half time.

 

Might.
