It probably is. Carry me off to hell in a handcart if it isn't the biggest cinematic hoot of the year.

Tiote also got straight back in the side after a suspension or whatever even if he hadn't been performing and his stand in did well. That hardly inspires a player to push themselves or to reassess how they've been playing.

I don't think he fancied himself as one so much as he took on the responsibility (not unlike the way Nicky Butt did) when there was no fucker else willing or able to do it.

Like a Bernard Righton joke that.

Surprised Rob wasn't able to bore a hole into the side of the mountain with his patter

It's a figure of speech. The meaning being somewhat lost on you.

Aye. Nice one

I meant the politics thread but it wasn't a deflection. I'm sure people will make their own judgements. You're a complete blagger. Just not a very good one.

Anyone seen Magic City? Quite fancy it after having finished Boardwalk Empire a good while ago.

Anyone would just need to read the dozens of times in this thread when you pretend you haven't seen a question I've posed tbh. If you haven't got a memorised soundbite to hand, you're palpably out of your depth.

You have to be really fucking stupid to love something and be so clueless about it. Food, politics, football....

Meenzer somehow manages to make CT's post readable.

:lol: :lol: The curse of CT strikes again

Tiote was very effective when he first arrived and likewise when we came 5th. This was when he was used correctly with more creative players around him. Whether he can still be motivated or reach that level is perhaps another debate but you'll never get the best out of him be getting him to play a different role to the one he's best suited to.

Bet it works out as cheap.

Been some good stuff on BBC Four of late about the war in Vietnam. What a crazy, fucked-up conflict that was.

I've been once. The best thing about it is the gift shop.

Yeah but he probably thinks he can do a lot better than us too.

I was at a party when I heard he died. Hard to believe it's 21 years ago. It was a big talking point to say the least.

It's as if a meaningless online poll is meaningless.

The bairn reckons Moeen looks like you, Tooj.

Been a lot of talk about about Root (who was rightly given man of the match) and obviously Ian Bell's shots are often very easy on the eye but I could watch Moeen bat all day. So elegant
