  1. Simpson is a better rb than Ferguson is a lb, don't see how you could dispute that atm.
  2. Anita kinda reminds me of Ramires, he's a similar build and was no great shakes in his first season iirc. Hopefully Anita can adapt and show similar improvement. Feel slightly racist now
  3. Please please pleaaaaaase can we unban him briefly next April 1st?!?
  4. A few weeks of fans wondering who it's going to be gives it bigger impact when it's announced.
  5. Bit of schoolyad thing to say tbh. I do, he's provided a fair chunk of the laughs and entertainment this last month or so, and contributes to the football thread with a fair amount of sense. When was the last time you made a post that wasn't delighting in picking holes in a phone that you don't own, or making yourself look a tit in your 'debates' with an obvious WUM?
  6. It's worth it for how much it riles up the cretins
  7. Pot Noodle are bringing out a new range of speedy, offal flavoured deserts. They don't do liver. OberFlan.
  8. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4800731.stm Seems to be the going rate for these kind of bets for some reason, Chris Kirkland's Dad making the same bet but for England. Bit depressing if you tell your kid to inspire him and he never gets close to making it even as a lower league player, he'll always know that at some level deep down he's disappointed you
  9. Falcao out, Hernandez in at Madrid next summer. You heard it hear first folks.
  10. Obertan's got into the right areas often and on another day with a couple of strikers in the box anticipating his balls he could have grabbed an assist. Should be picking people out though on occasions like the one where he had acres of time and space and several options.
  11. Thing is with Obertan's crossing, he often hits them with decent pace and a little whip into decent areas, but he just doesn't seem able to actively pick out a man.
  12. Those who wish to appear wise among fools,among the wise seem foolish.
  13. Beat Man Utd and that's the top 2 teams in the country out, with Everton out already too. Would be shaping up pretty nicely. Cue inevitable defeat to a League One team in the 4th round.
  14. Trivia question to which I do not know the answer: What's the biggest jump in positions in a season to win the league? (e.g. if Chelsea won it his year it would be from 6th to 1st)
  15. That (t, t) pron. pl. those (z) 1. a. Used to refer to the one designated, implied, mentioned, or understood: What kind of soup is that? b. Used to refer to the one, thing, or type specified as follows: The relics found were those of an earlier time. c. Used to refer to the event, action, or time just mentioned: After that, he became a recluse. 2. Used to indicate the farther or less immediate one: That is for sale; this is not. 3. Used to emphasize the idea of a previously expressed word or phrase: He was fed up, and that to a great degree. 4. The one, kind, or thing; something: She followed the calling of that which she loved. 5. those Used to indicate an unspecified number of people: those who refused to join. 6. Used as a relative pronoun to introduce a clause, especially a restrictive clause: the car that has the flat tire. 7. a. In, on, by, or with which: each summer that the concerts are performed. b. According to what; insofar as: He never knew her, that I know of. adj. pl. those 1. Being the one singled out, implied, or understood: that place; those mountains. 2. Being the one further removed or less obvious: That route is shorter than this one. adv. 1. To such an extent or degree: Is your problem that complicated? 2. To a high degree; very: didn't take what he said that seriously. conj. 1. Used to introduce a noun clause that is usually the subject or object of a verb or a predicate nominative: "That contemporary American English is exuberantly vigorous is undeniable" (William Arrowsmith). 2. Used to introduce a subordinate clause stating a result, wish, purpose, reason, or cause: She hoped that he would arrive on time. He was saddened that she felt so little for him. 3. a. Used to introduce an anticipated subordinate clause following the expletive it occurring as subject of the verb: It is true that dental work is expensive. b. Used to introduce a subordinate clause modifying an adverb or adverbial expression: will go anywhere that they are welcome. c. Used to introduce a subordinate clause that is joined to an adjective or noun as a complement: was sure that she was right; the belief that rates will rise soon. 4. Used to introduce an elliptical exclamation of desire: Oh, that I were rich! Idioms: at that 1. In addition; besides: lived in one room, and a small room at that. 2. Regardless of what has been said or implied: a long shot, but she just might win at that. that is To explain more clearly; in other words: on the first floor, that is, the floor at street level. [Middle English, from Old English thæt; see to- in Indo-European roots.] Usage Note: The standard rule requires that that should be used only to introduce a restrictive (or defining) relative clause, which identifies the entity being talked about; in this use it should never be preceded by a comma. Thus, in the sentence The house that Jack built has been torn down, the clause that Jack built is a restrictive clause identifying the specific house that was torn down. Similarly, in I am looking for a book that is easy to read, the restrictive clause that is easy to read tells what kind of book is desired. A related rule stipulates that which should be used with nonrestrictive (or nondefining) clauses, which give additional information about an entity that has already been identified in the context; in this use, which is always preceded by a comma. Thus, we say The students in Chemistry 101 have been complaining about the textbook, which (not that) is hard to follow. The clause which is hard to follow is nonrestrictive in that it does not indicate which text is being complained about; even if the clause were omitted, we would know that the phrase the textbook refers to the text in Chemistry 101. · Some grammarians extend the rule and insist that, just as that should be used only in restrictive clauses, which should be used only in nonrestrictive clauses. Thus, they suggest that we should avoid sentences such as I need a book which will tell me all about city gardening, where the restrictive clause which will tell me all about city gardening indicates which sort of book is needed. But this extension of the rule is far from universally accepted, and the use ofwhich with restrictive clauses is common. Furthermore, since that cannot be used with clauses introduced by a preposition (whether or not restrictive), which is used with both clauses when such a clause is joined by and or or to another that does not begin with a preposition, as in It is a philosophy in which the common man may find solace and which many have found reason to praise. Such constructions are often considered cumbersome, however, and it may be best to recast the sentence completely to avoid the problem. · That is often omitted in a relative clause when the subject of the clause is different from the word that the clause refers to. Thus, we may say either the book that I was reading or the book I was reading. In addition, that is commonly omitted before other kinds of subordinate clauses, as in I think we should try again where that would precede we. These constructions omitting that are entirely idiomatic, even in more formal contexts. See Usage Notes at doubt, this, whatever, which, who.
  16. I actually quite like the teams we've been putting out, the quality of the play obviously isn't as high but I look forward to seeing how our younger/back up lads get on. Adds an extra level of interest into what can be relatively duller affairs than league games. And if we get to say the last 16, I'm sure we'd start taking it a lot more seriously.
  17. The wolf grows ever stronger, the sheep can bleat no longer.
