Good call. She speaks fluent German too, which is good for my Nazi, S&M fetish.

Forren, Tejera, Sarmiento, O'Halloran, Ian Pearce (played away at S****horpe under Pearson), Flakey (that Spanish kid from Spuds), Kanchelskis, Marcus Hall, Bledelis (came on in that Tranmere game), Kleber Challa, Yahia. I'm sure there are more out there who played 1 game or not at all.

It's all about Natalie Sawyer as far as I'm concerned.

COYR!!

What a bunch of helmets on SSN. On the upside, I'm liking the new wooden fencing around the ground.

We put up a much tougher test for Liverpool than Spurs have this afternoon, at Anfield too. I know you can't compare 2 different games and say 'Well team X must be better than Team Y' but we've looked better in the games against West Ham and Liverpool so far. This game reminds me of performances like Cardiff at home last year, where we passed it around nicely without offering any real penetration.

I never understood why Yoshi was suddenly labeled as substandard, just because he was replaced by Lovren. I know Lovren is a better defender but Maya was excellent in our first season in the Prem and good enough for a midtable side. We certainly wont find a better 3rd choice CB, assuming that will be the case when Gardos is fit. The problem with being a reserve player is you get thrown in at short notice when a regular started is injured. You are then expected to be comfortable and not make mistakes almost instantly, which is unrealistic. Some do, Tadic is taking to this team like a duck to water. On the other hand Lallana took a whole season to look like a Premier League player. Glad to see he is proving a few people wrong. Please can we remember these performances if he gets replaced by Gardos and not label him as crap without actually kicking a ball.

We were offered obscene amounts of money for them. HTH.

There is no right and wrong as far as he is concerned. It's all about attention. There is nothing he loves more than being wrong, just so long as there is a 5 page thread about him and everyone is engaging in a tedious argument. You can drag up as many of his ludicrous threads from the past as you want, he is just loving it. As long as people are talking about him, that's ALL that matters.

I think most internet adverts are tailored to match your recent browsing history. I once saw a similar post on another forum saying 'OMG they're advertising fetishist sex toys' without realising quite what he was revealing about his private life.

A proper relegation dog fight, a definite 'must not lose' game.

Only Osvaldo is a nightmare. The amount of money lost on the other three is relatively small. If we'd beaten Stoke on the last day of the season a couple of years ago, the difference in prize money would have covered one of their transfers by itself.

If a Pompey fan laughing because a loan player who has never played for us has left, I don't think I will sleep tonight. Seriously, I can't get too upset about a team 3 League below us taking the p*ss. Not when players like Taider would walk into their team.

No, they were never laughing at us to begin with. Apart from maybe Hull fans when we spent £12m on Shane Long. Nobody else is going to give a sh*t about this. The Soccer Saturday panel will probably spend 30 seconds saying, 'yeah that deal obviously didn't play out' but that's about it. If anything people will be laughing at Taider for bottling it after a month.

Yes, sadly Rachel was never that well equipped and was probably more 00s anyway. Since someone mentioned her though...

£16m for a bit part player is not 'on the cheap'. What do you think is a fair price for him?

I'm not the most politically clued up individual but since when did the UK suck up to Israel. I can't remember us having anything to do with them since we abandoned the place half a century ago. Even in Gulf War I the US convinced Israel not to get involved as they didn't want it becoming an Arab vs Jew conflict.

Actually I think the next generation of British born Muslims will be diluted by British culture. Most people who grow up in Islamic states in the ME have strong Muslim values beaten into them from birth. A British born Muslim, even with devout Muslim parents, will still be exposed to the overwhelming British apathy towards religion. Peer pressure is strong among children, many of them will lose interest in religion when all their friends are going out drinking, party and sleeping with each other.

I don't often agree with pap but I think he is spot on here. I've been lucky enough to have been working in Norway and Sweden for the last few months and my general impression is that they are years ahead of us in terms of quality of life. It helps that ugly people are euthanised at birth and fat people are immediately deported to Germany. Seriously, if anyone gets the chance to visit Oslo in summer go to the Lektern bar on the waterfront and watch a different super model walk past every minute. I think the UK is pretty good overall. Certainly compared to Italy or Spain. The vast majority of immigrants I've met are hard working and seem to be fully integrated into British society. I know a Muslim man who binge drinks and cheats on his wife, so he has taken our culture very much to heart. We need to maintain constant vigilance against excessive immigration and the problems with extremism but I don't think our small number of Islamists represents a pandemic.

Probably Lovren. I wouldn't have said Yoshi was at fault for either goal but I do think we would have been stronger as a unit with DL at the back.

I think the fault was more letting a midget have a free header in our own penalty area. It looked like Davis was closest but the marking was poor in the build up. Clyne could have done better but Sturridge is an excellent striker and just made that crucial yard of space in the right area. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the performance. I wouldn't expect anything from Anfield so I'd rather lose this narrowly with our new team, rather than wasting a winnable game because we have so many new players. If that makes sense. West Brom will be interesting and it reminds me very much of 2 years ago when we put in a great performance at The Etihad, then lost at home to Wigan. A few people started to panic but everything worked out alright eventually.***

I don't think either Jos or Yoshi are half as bad as people make out. In fact in Yoshi's first season many were talking about him as an absolute bargain, he put in some excellent performances. A lot of the negativity towards Jos stems from our first 10 games up when he made some terrible errors leading to o.g.s or penalties. Since then he has been much better. As you say, a lot of his poor performances came stood between Fox, Gazza, Fonte (who made just as many mistakes in our first season up) and a midfield lacking either Cork or Wanyama. For third and forth choice CB, they suit a midfield Premier League team pretty well. We certainly won't get anyone better to come and sit on the bench.
