Crab Lungs

You're right. I think he's totally unsuitable for football. After all, he's not very big and being at such a mature age, he should at least be 6"2 and wrestling bears by now. Either Adkins should get him on the steak and guinness for a year or pump him full of Ivan Drago-esque steroids. Personally though for me, after his poor showings this season he's had more than enough opportunities to prove himself and he should be consigned to the non-league dustbin.

Ok, we're mid-wobble and we've some really, really difficult games coming up. We've got players out and we're running low on confidence. We could either blame everyone around us or suck it up and have a go again. We've got 21 games left - that's 63 points to play for. It's pretty obvious we're going to need strengthening and I think that's what NA and NC will set about doing within the next week or so. We're on the precipice and we could go either of two ways. We'll never get a better chance than what we've got now to get promoted. Let's hope we pull ourselves together soon.

Probably not, and he might have cost us this game but it's more down to us than anyone else. We should suck it up and go again.

Yes, and Djimi Traore is a Champions League winner. You know, as well as I, that the point adriansfc is making is not meant literally so stop needlessly correcting people.

I'm holding out for Karim Benzema. Anything less would be a lack of ambition.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and, call me speculative -but do you run the football transfer rumours site per chance?

They were right when they said Rickie Lambert couldn't step up, they'll be right about Barnard too. We're lucky to have so many oracles in one place. Hang on...

Right, sorry everyone for defiling another thread. Carry on as you were...

Haha, I thought I'd say it tongue-in-cheek before someone genuinely does offer that as a theory. :-o

For those of you not satisfied with the positive quality of the rumour, fear not -someone will be along shortly to offer the palatable theory that all the financial backing of the club has been withdrawn and the Liebherr's are selling up.

RIP, didn't hear that

Loved GK

...the Mido/Paul Sturrock incident, Lol.

Oh, and another transfer miss - Rosicky when he was at Sparta Prague (I think?). We were quoted £10m, I believe.

I remember when Colin Lee and David Platt were always linked to the managers position

Hello all Just a quick message as I'm off to Berlin very soon for NYE - wanted to try somewhere different so me and Cabbage Face decided on the German capital. That said, we've done little research so before we go, does anyone have any recommendations or must do's/don't's they could share with me? Thanks in advance!

Right, it's time to start over with the Pompey challenge. I've been away from the game for far too long since I moved out but now I'm ready to tackle it again. Bring it on. Oh hang on... ideas on a team, anyone? Obscure if necessary...

WTF... Fantastic reasoning for a mass brawl. :-/

He's only on a wind-up. Or he might not be, I don't know, but he's taken a disliking to me for whatever reason so he's going to be a bit more damning towards me if he doesn't agree with something I say.

Waaaahmbulance for Ess.

I've stopped going there now - only rare occasions do I make a sacrifice (friends birthday) and thankfully, they've now seen the sense of avoiding all the trouble hotspots in town (which pretty much rules out everywhere with the exception of Oxford Street). ****ing pikeys.

They get everywhere! Sweeping generalisation, so my next best guess would be a 35-50 yo, sweaty, golf chained, beer-bellied faux-yachty type who took offence to someone who is idolised more than himself. Just a guess... (if that's wrong, can I have one more?)

I would say Southampton, IMHO, is one of the worst for it in my experience. Never been to Cov, but of course, you're defo right when you say there are ****heads everywhere.

I hate to repeat the same mantra I've been saying for quite a few years now but Southampton in particular is top-heavy with JLS lookalikey tough guys who get a bit cocky when they've had a drink or their perma-tanned brainless **** buddy has just given them the elbow. I'd bet my balls that it wasn't Rickie who has a discipline problem, it's probably more to do with how many f()cking c()nts there are in Southampton. Christ, I sound angry but I'm really not surprised anymore. The city is, quite frankly, full of utter pr1cks.

Yes, me too, I'd like to know... but I have my hunches...
