Tiresias Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well I sort of agree on Simpson, his defending is poor, his goal line clearances are good but wouldn't need to do so many if he was a better fullback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Re Simpson, I don't think he's a brilliant fullback but it's pretty stupid to diss him directly for what he does on the line. Clearly, one of the fullbacks is told to get on the line (Santon was the one doing it when Simpson was out) and clear anything that gets past Krul. It's hardly an art form but you have to look alive or you'll end up costing your team - as Kieron Dyer found out against Barcelona - so Simpson (and Santon) should be lauded for the job they do on the line. I can find plenty of ways to criticise Simpson - that he gets a nosebleed when he passes the halfway line, that he spoons his crosses so high they come down with snow on them, that positionally he seems to think he's a centre back half the time - but his work on the goal-line is not one of them.

Guest Roger Kint Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well I sort of agree on Simpson, his defending is poor, his goal line clearances are good but wouldn't need to do so many if he was a better fullback Eh? So a better fullback wouldnt be on the line defending corners and the like? Fair enough he isnt the bext RB going but to slate his good qualities is plain stupidity imo, its not like those goalline blocks came due to him sprinting away from the ball as it came down the left ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Not denying good job on line, but our defence has been leaky because of the rest of his work, valuing his defensive contribution merely because he clears a load off the line is silly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 He's made some canny goal line clearances for us, but that is completely outdone by the utter turboshit defending he's given us from his game on the whole throughout his time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Right, own up, who on here is Sir Ricky? :lol: "Sir Ricky Sbragia on 31 May 2012 at 21:54 The tenticles of the magedia stretch further into the very foundations of society; desperate in their attempts to crush everything that mackemdom stands for. To soil, tarnish and destroy our very name. Do not let the thatcherite ideals of the mag stand in the way of our cause. A belief in democracy, decency, socialism and fraternity amongst humanity. We are a community and a social institution that must continue to stand strong." from the bbc link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 this could be funny.....http://www.channel4.com/programmes/in-the-best-possible-taste-grayson-perry/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1 From the same page (comments section), this is just surreal... Maybe being a Touareg is considered Naff by African snobs. I imagine an Algerian visiting a Sunderland football match followed by a night out in town would be an authenic and highly enjoyable experience. "Highly enjoyable"? Hmmm, very unlikely, but still possible. Unless of course he brought his mam. If history has taught us anything, the mackems don't react well to 'ethnic' mams....

Not even trying to say this to be funny or vindictive but it is literally filled with slack jawed yokels. The amount of folks on there who can't even type a sentence without at least one grammar or spelling mistake is hilarious and some of their football views are just plain baffling. We laugh at things like 'Catts for me like' but they ACTUALLY think and believe this stuff... One of them is even repeatedly referring to Cabaye as 'Cabage' ffs!
