  1. Also strange that it's nearly as much as the team we put out on Saturday.
  2. There are highlights of Big Vic doing exactly the same move for Celtic.
  3. Don't try so hard then.
  4. Don't try so hard then.
  5. How about the posters who get their kicks from wummery and don't give a flying f**k if it bothers the silent majority on here?
  6. He ran and committed defenders and drew fouls, something which we don't usually do, at least from central positions. Looked onside for the last chance as well. But no he didn't change a game that was already getting messy. We worked some good openings; but we are still too eager to take an extra touch or try and pass the ball into the net. Indeed, its one reason why we arguably miss Osvaldo. He is greedy in a good sense - the number of instinctive shots he's got off, foiled only by very good saves is a breath of fresh air. But you don't watch us enough to appreciate that.

    Doesn't Nagatomo (who would be class)?
  8. Not on a par with a Lloyd James deep floater.
  9. Strange OP Damiao didn't come here because we weren't big or prestigious enough. His agent said as much. Second the OP confuses physicality with work rate. Spanish/Latino footballers may not be the most physical in the up-and-at-em sense but they've always been energetic - let's not forget that the pressing game hails from Latin America.
  10. Season 4 of Eastbound and Down. Danny McBride doing what he does best. All set up for a BBesque downfall.
  11. I thought the Swiss-Italian picks the team and the Brazilian has to make the team.
  12. Not really- Davis gets further forward and has played more centrally. When he was shunted out to the right e.g. against Swansea, he struggled, forcing MP to bring JWP on and move Davis inside where he was much more effective. JWP has largely played on the right and been more of a backstop for the fullback to bomb on - a ploy which works when Clyne is in but not Chambers.
  13. Of the 9 fixtures, five -liverpool (a), fulham (h), wba (a), swansea (h) and sunderland (h)- were under NA. This season, we've bettered all those results with a +11 point differential.
  14. I had it down as Turkish doing a good parody of himself. After all, he's wet himself over less.
  15. I agree - would still like to see much more from in an attacking sense, though his set pieces justify and crosses from deep justify his inclusion alone. Moreover, he allows Clyne to play virtually as a winger, something which didn't work when he played in the same position against West Brom, Sunderland and Norwich when Clyne was injured and Chambers was unwilling to take advantage of the cover/protection JWP had given him.
  16. Don't think the inclusion of Berbatov or Bent made as much difference as you imply -who as the commentators observed were trying to press but had little support. The battle was lost in the middle of the park - Parker and Sidwell who are headed for the scrapheap just couldn't keep up with the energy of Wanyama and Morgan. If anything, the biggest factor for Fulham wasn't on the pitch. Arguably Rickie wouldn't have got the same joy he did if Hangeland had been playing.
  17. Does the OP want the mcinnes or the facepalm Am sure he's a premature ejaculator too.
  18. Well he seemed to imply that the media as a whole had gone over the top. And none of the other hacks disagreed with his description.
  19. Well the jock Barclay admitted that the media owed Southampton and Cortese a huge apology. Likely to happen, isn't it?
  20. The week after in the cup.
  21. He's got midweek for that.
  22. Would have been a different story if we were chasing the game.
  23. Roge - do boo boys give you a hard on or something. I know Lallana is no longer keeping you pleasured.
  24. Would definitely say yes just because the mongboard says no. Last time we had a debate about wingers, the unanimous verdict was that Andros Townsend wasn't good enough for us.
  25. Come on - if it was the other way round, you'd be claiming it was absolute horse****
