They were fantastic pens taken by the big man, he caused a few problems today. To the fact that they started to double up on him. Shame that we had nobody that 'read' his flicks and through balls, Saga just let the game play around him unfortunately. Still feel a bit 'dirty' mind, they were never pens.

I hope so, just hope that the lack of english does not hamper him. I think his unpredictability could be a revelation in this league, he does remind me of Kodak (camara) in which i think there will be times you will think to yourself 'what the f are you doing?' Then there will be a moment of excellence. But we will see, he caused problems today, something i have not really seen this season. I just wish Lallana was so direct.

Agree. But TBF, the defence looked solid, we never looked in any trouble. Harding was the weak link today when we were under the cosh. But maily that was because lallana let them double up on him. I was comfortable with the back 4 today, for the first time in a long time. I would like to see us put a bid in for trottman, he could be a V good player given the right coaching.

Have to agree with this, had many a coach tell me that they would rather i was caught offside then not involved at all. Shows that you are keen, moving in the right direction and on the defenders shoulders. Many quick players get caught offside. Did you know that Rooney is currently the most caught offside player in the Prem ?? Playing upfront is all about gambling, gamble on the bounce, the offside, a mistake. A gamble is a gamble, but sometimes it pays off, and if that is a goal, it means riches.

I was at the game. TBF he showed a lot of promise, he has pace, unpridictability and is keen to make an impression (havin shots and taking on players) His touch is not great however, shown when he was given the ball from a throw in only to 'control' it to the other team, but then, beattie could control a ball further than most could kick it !!! It's too early to pass utmost judgement guys, IMO he was not teh greatest footballer in the world but has promise, unpredictability and wants to take on and score goals. IMHO, he is the best foil for lambert we have at the club ATM

Oh, i forgot to say !!!!! Saw Murty outside the ground today signing autographs. He was on one crutch. I asked him how he was getting on and he said that it will be a week before he looses the crutch and a week after that to start running. I said how long does he think it would be ?? He replied he didn't know it would be up to the surgeon. So basically, i think it could be a longish one.

No, your not alone, Hammond looks fantastic, but the MF in general is pretty unbalanced, what with Lallana on the left.

What a fantastic contribution and great counter arguement. A*

He missed a few, won a few, looked a bit tired, gave a few dodgy free kicks away. TBF though, looks pretty solid, will be a lot better when match fit. Best we could hope for, IMO.

Lol, eduardonowski. 1st was massive dive, 2nd i didn't even notice handball, thought james was caught offside !!! Either way i don't really care, 2-0 is 2-0

Thought Spiderman put a lot of running in but it just didn't seem to come off for him, he doesn't tackle well, he doesn't really support the strikers well, he just sits and plays the ball around, you can tell he definately has talent, some of his balls were brilliant, but he would then needlessly give the ball away. Saga did a bit of running, but seemed flat footed when someone attempted to play him in behind the defence. He didn't really chase out to the flanks and is just too slow. Of course IMO. Thats why i love football, it's all opinions !!

Well much needed 3 points but 2 very very poor decisions by the referee. Probably the worst we have played this season too. Jaidi looked solid but tired pretty quickly, he also gave away far too many fouls, Trottman had a good game, Thomas puts us in the Sh*t far too often, didn't think Harding had his best game today, he didn't pick up the men enough but then Lallana does not offer anything defensive down the left. Hammond played very well, great battler and is up and down, Shneiderlin, who IMO is only there for his passing ability, could not hit a cows ass today, he was very very poor. Lallana always looks like he can make something happen but lacks defensive awareness and is not happy on his left foot. James battled pretty well. Lambert looked strong, won many flick ons, held the ball up well, does not quite cause enough problems though for me, Saga looked very poor, especially for a supposed international. He just does not seem to read the game very well at the moment. Basically, all we seemed like doing today was a hopeful punt up to Lambert, hoping for flick ons, even when trying to get behind the defence Saga just has no pace. We looked better after the subs came on because it seemed as if we were balanced for once, Mills gave us a left footed option and Papa chased around the back 4 trying to win things, although he didn't look fantastic. Anyways, here is my assessment. Davis - 6 - Dealt with what he had to, didn't really need to do much. Thomas - 6 - Gave the ball away too much, didn't look bad defensively Trottman - 7 - Dominated at the back, struck a good partnership with Jaidi, pointless yellow. Jaidi - 7 - Solid, got stuck in, did give away some pointless fouls. Harding - 6 - Looked ok, struggled when doubled up upon by their right flank. Hammond - 8 - All over the place, great battler, probably should have been booked earlier. Shneiderlin - 5 - Terrible today, terrible with the ball and without it. Put in some running, but is their to make the play...... he didn't James - 6 - Tidy display, nothing spectacular, played best in CM. Lallana - 6 - Promises much, delivered not a lot, defensively lacking, dived for penalty. Lambert - 7 - Played well, 2 great penalties, won the headers when needed. Saga - 4 - Static, game passed him by, he won't make the world cup like this. Subs Mills - 6 - Gave us width and balance. Papa - 6 - Lot of running, at least he had a couple of shots, must have been offside 53 times in 10 minutes. Dunno if he is a footballer or not yet, too early to judge. Wotton - 7 - Can't fault him today, came on, mopped up, sured up.

Not really, it's like, a post-nuclear war, everything is fooked and your trying to find your way in all of it, massive map, loadsa quests and fighting, really addictive, good if you have alot of time on your hands and f*ck all to do stevo. There are only so many w*nks you can get away with

As it says on the tin really....... Cannot wait, well into this game ATM http://www.videogamer.com/news/first_ps3_fallout_3_dlc_set_for_sep_24.html

Very good post, thank you, i didn't know that. But, again you have completely missed my point.

About 2 weeks ago, and i too would be surprised if they spoke honestly about it, they may do though. By all means go and ask. It happened, and i was shocked. Bloody expensive too

Isn't that the resturant ?? Yeah it might be that one, it was the coffee shop next to the London, opposite the posh restaurant. I don't know the names, i am not down that end of town too often.

I don't know what one, it was opposite the posh place, beginning with R. Feel free And no it wasn't the London

lol

I swear to god Oh, and just to let everyone know where i am on the EDL issue, i do not support them, they seem no better then the extremists themselves. It does however, raise serious issues amoungst the views of the populace.

F*ck off pancake, i have no reason to lie, in fact i take offence to that, i am not a J Bizzle type, i am just saying it how it is. If i was going to make something up i could think of something much worse FFS. I try and post reasonable arguements, and i do see both sides, i really do, it is just that it seems to have become such a taboo these days that only one side is reasonably listened to. Telling any other side seems to get you branded a racist or a liar

LoL See what i mean, in my whole post Verbal when did i offer any sort of defence or support to the EDL ?? And also when did i say that anti-semitism or muslim is ok ?? I infact said that any sort of anti-anything in that way should not be allowed, be it from the blacks, whites, muslims, chinese, anyone. The problem is the world has too much of this prejudice and IMHO the government that we have at the moment are making things worse. They and the media seem to drive a harder line towards any christians that 'dare' speak up about the destruction of our national identity, and as i said, when anyone else preaches hate about us then it is labelled freedom of speech. Do i agree with the methods of EDL ?? Hell no, if anything i believe they will make things worse in the long run, but it is an indication of the general belief of the populace at the moment, people are scared, people are upset and it will only get worse i fear. I do not believe in the EDL but i sure as hell do not support anyone that believes it is right to murder not only our people but our beliefs. Are people so f*cking blind as to what is going on in the world today ?? Do people like you really just sit in your wendy houses watching songs of praise? Believing that these people are not a threat ?? Yes the EDL is just as much of a threat but if the extremists were not given 'freedom of speech' as it were then we would not have so many of these groups. Of course we would have a few thuggish tw*ts, but such is life. When i was up in Aston a while back, for university, me and a few mates went out looking for a place to drink, we began to walk along a road when we were approached by an asian looking bloke, to which he said, 'you wanna turn round mate' Me - Why ?? 'Your lot are not wanted in here, turn around before you get hurt' Is that acceptable then ?? The other day me and a guy from work went into a coffee shop in oxford street as we were doing some work up there. He asked for a black coffee, the girl behind the counter took offence and went to get the manager, that came back and said we have offended her for asking for a black coffee, we should have asked for a non-white coffee, is that acceptable ?? The whole f*cking world has gone PC mad

Completely agree 100% Thats what really annoys me, as soon as you start discussing things you get called racist, far right etc etc. The whole world has gone mad, what about those that are preaching hate against us ?? Against american and english christian citizens ?? They are not being racist then ?? Oh no, that is freedom of speech, but as soon as someone says that people need to put a stop to those preeching hate, oh, you are being racist. Stupid really. Too many people are brainwashed by the namby pamby liberal world we live in today, anyone preeching hate against anyone should be firmly stopped. Be it anti-semitism, anti-islam, anti-black/white you name it, the problem with the racism card is that it has become very one sided indeed. pathetic really.
