Indeed he is not. http:// www. thefirstrow. eu/watch/139409/2/watch-fifa-wcq:-colombia-vs-uruguay.html Remove spaces...

You can say he "looked" out of his depth without thinking he was out of his depth. He's clearly an exciting talent and did something with the few decent passes he got (and tried hard to make the most of the rest of the rubbish), but he's going to look terrible every game if all we do is hoof rushed clearances at him. Actually, if we don't change our game to stop hanging onto possession every time when there's a through ball on, he'll probably struggle to score goals even if we keep it on the deck. His link-up play will probably be decent though. It remains to be seen what effect bringing Ramirez in will have on our style of play, he seems to be more of a creative passing and through ball kind of player, and that will require someone to make runs for him up front, which isn't Lambert's strength but is Mayuka's.

It's no more red and white striped than red and grey striped. And it clearly isn't red and grey striped, is it ? Or for the alternative angle, ask Liverpool fans about their red and white striped kits of the 1980s and see if they think you're insane.

Unless we are allowed to wear all white at Everton or Villa who both have white shorts, or change to the red shorts at Everton, we probably won't wear the all white until Liverpool - and I struggle to think of another team we'll be able to wear it against without either changing kit needlessly from red or clashing with part of the home team's kit. Arsenal will be yellow/blue/blue, there's too much white in their home kit. Having seen West Brom in navy/white shirts, white shorts and white socks against Everton in all blue the other day I wouldn't be surprised if we wore white/red/white at Everton, though we don't like to mix kits if we can help it - we only used a mix of home and away kit in two away matches last season, at Fratton and Watford.

"I don’t seen where he will play. I hope I’m wrong as I liked him at Burley" Just about sums up the level of intelligence in that article. Why bother to read anything else ?

They're not likely to have quirky stuff in them every week though are they, or they wouldn't be quirky ? Plus the team name is required to identify them. At least they haven't listed it with "AND" and "THE" as the main words.

Unfortunately, Fonte was also directly responsible for the two errors which gifted Man U the winner, hacking the ball off the pitch (not unprecedented, he did it 3 times in the last 15 minutes) and failing to track van Persie (or to attack his zone which had van Persie in it, if we're claiming he wasn't supposed to because of the zonal marking). He was also directly responsible for Kone's goal against Wigan - both of those in the last 5 minutes of matches. That's already too many mistakes leading to goals. Then we take into consideration Hooiveld conceding two penalties in 3 matches with daft challenges and we've established that it's a steep learning curve and the required fitness levels are also higher. I have no idea who's supposed to think anyone's worried about Yoshida "because he's from Asia" though. If he can speak and understand English that's all he should need to not be at a disadvantage.

Well it was the match we got promoted in, and we played them in the FA Cup too. Coventry's word cloud features the words "RELEGATION" "MISSED" and "INJURY".

The Portsmouth one features the word "Southampton" larger than the word "survival", but they're both on there.

Comparison with the other clubs is quite helpful for this... see the Mirko link.

Thanks for explaining the joke, anyway...

Regarding some of the earlier comments. Yes, he did look rubbish, you could even argue he LOOKED out of his depth. But he looked rubbish entirely because of the above, and the terrible efforts at "passing" the ball to him. He's clearly not going to be the kind of player to win an aerial duel with Vidic or Ferdinand from a randomly wanged ball in his general vicinity - and he did pretty well with the (few) decent passes he got.

I have a question. Why is the word "HAM" in there ? Ah. West Ham. Ok.

Weirdly I was humming that on FIFA12 menus too when I had him as my Arena player. Lallana's got enough songs though. Plus 90% of people won't have a clue about this new-fangled digital downloady music nonsense.

Has he got a dad or a son with the same name as him ?

Newport YMCA v Christchurch Hamdden in August 2000, the pre-season friendly during which my knee ligaments got ruined. I knew it, crawled off the pitch, got changed, went home and went out to stand on one leg and get drunk to numb the pain. Had an operation on it... nine years later. As far as Saints matches go, probably Derby in the Play-Offs for me, along with Man U relegation and Burnley in Championship when some of the Saints fans started lobbing things at the away fans from the pitch, in admin, relegation, didn't know we'd have a team and people behaving like pr1cks. I didn't enjoy Newport County v Rochdale much either, County's last match in the Football League, which was in 1988. Similar to Saints v Burnley but in a crappy ground with 20 times fewer people. Oh, and Newport County 0-1 Carl Zeiss Jena in the Cup Winners' Cup Quarter-Final in 1981. And Newport County v Barry Town in the 1987 Welsh Cup Final in my first visit to Ninian Park. In fact pretty much any Newport match from 1987 onwards was pretty depressing.

Based on the BBC's match reports from last season with the size of the words relating to the number of mentions, there's one for every 2011/12 Championship club here : http://spiritofmirko.com/2012/07/16/championship-20112012-season-review-word-clouds/ But this is the Saints one : From tagexedo.com , via http://www.spiritofmirko.com

Er, yes, I know. But there would be a bigger stink if they'd tried to make it Swansea colours, just like we'd kick up about changing to all green, but we'd kick up about wearing blue shirts, white shorts and red socks a lot more. Well, maybe not the white shorts and red socks so much...

"Doing a Cardiff City" would see us playing in white shirts - a neutral colour between us and our rivals (like red is neutral between Swansea and Cardiff - in fact Swansea's away kit is red this season) but coincidentally related to national identity. If Cardiff were to play in all white for a home kit there would probably be uproar - though they've played in white away shirts, just like we've had blue ones.

Probably would have helped if we'd done that for Delgado.

So what is it that makes "Guantanemera", "Kumbaya", "Knees Up Mother Brown","Winter Wonderland" and "The Animals Went In Two By Two" so massively credible then ?

Why are you paranoid ? I don't reply to you any more than anyone else.

As opposed to singing songs based on A 1960s Beach Boys song, The hymn "Guide Me Oh thou Great Redeemer" The Hallelujah Chorus by Handel An opera song from Rigoletto A cockney singalong tune A Christmas song most popular in 1946 A Cuban patriotic song and indeed a song about Noah's Ark. But no, the Spiderman song would be ridiculous.

Just went back and actually voted, then realised I'd agreed with what I said the first time around. Except without 17th. So 14-16th now then, but those odds look pretty tempting value for top 10.

I think we're in agreement.
