Dear god no. Boruc at 50% is better than Gazza at 100%.

It's one of the first things you are told not to do if you are a bit **** at football and not able to be relied upon to make accurate passes. Premier League footballers are not told to avoid passing across the defence, they are told to maintain possession. Brendan Rogers got quite a lot of stick for this, I can't remember if it was Liverpool or Swansea had let in a few in this way, he put up an excellent argument for it being generally productive despite the inevitable odd goal you will give away trying. He's not doing too badly now is he?

Absolute rubbish. Hodgson has been more open to players outside the top four than any England manager in recent memory.

So you're saying that of two players who made similar mistakes, you're judging one more harshly than the other. That seems fair of you. Fonte's mistake was much worse btw.

Enjoyed seeing the moron Fulham fan with his kids laying into the Lino in front of him. The officials have goal line technology, and your other player was miles offside, you aggressive bell end.

I kid has developed his game to become extremely selfless. His work has allowed the likes of J Rod and Lallana to get more opportunities but in doing so he's sacrificed the number he gets himself. The fact that a player tactically taking one for the team has caused a portion of our fanbase to decide he's now rubbish frustrates me immensely. It doesn't help that he's at an age where fans seem to look for any excuse to declare that a player is too old and losing their legs.

Put Niemi, Killer, Bridge and Beattie from that season into this side and we'd have an amazing team. Anders & Oakley on the bench. Anders > Gaston.

Do we need to discuss chaos theory again?

I think the fact people are using Sturridge and Suarez as an example of the next level up shows just how far Lambert has come.

You mean that time Collins deflected the ball with his hand that replays showed conclusively was actually Jay Rodriguez's hand?

I wonder if the Winter Olympics would benefit from being held in the same year as the summer Olympics, with a consolidated medals table? might help its profile to be seen as all being one event?

Made you so angry you had to start your own thread about it! and you're the one telling people to take a step back, good one.

But we have NOTHING to play for in the league.

It's all about the snowboard/ski cross.

The thing I don't get is, we looked like we were giving the cup a good go in the previous two rounds. Doesn't make sense.

Or we could just sing his name at any point really.

He played a key part in Lambert's on Saturday with a lovely return ball to Clyne.

Have you tried playing it?

Now Puncheon's gone it is

I get that, it's fine, I don't blame him. But I find the people getting all gooey eyed because he did some clapping a bit much.

If he cared that much he wouldn't have buggered off to Arsenal at the first opportunity.

Boruc was training at Staplewood today. I cycled past. I'm ITK.

When he first came into the team last season he looked a bit slower and rusty. I think that's all we're seeing at the moment, give him a few games to get back into it.

This thread is like going back in time to October 2010, we all know what happened next.

This. Her statement about the great job he'd done was judged correctly. Cortese got the Adkins sacking all wrong.
