Papa Lazaru

Based on his nickname of "Fuck me Eddie" mentioned above, its probably something like "the reacharound"

saw that coming over the comedy horizon, but still smirked at the pay-off. I been watching Firefly and have found it quite quite good. 55530[/snapback] Firefly is good but just as it was really getting going and showing the promise of what it could become the americans cancelled it, though obviously it has subsequently come back as the film Serenity.

I think this is probably the biggest compliment i've heard Bush ever get!

Even taking into account the fact that steroids may often be used by some wrestlers there has been a lot of deaths to relatively young men over the years.

They've never been great lets be honest, but now they are getting far, far worse as its become a procession of people just miming to their latest single which is a waste of everybody's time.

Good days work from England, just a shame that they lost that last wicket and ended up with a night watchman up the order. Got to be looking for a 400+ score to really put the pressure on Pakistan and the game is there for the taking. Good to see the seam attack still proving very effective together for England.

Thats got to be the best friendly I've ever seen, and one of the best England performances, a real passionate performance all across the park. And as for Owen, I agree, I still have to pinch myself that he's our player ! I can't believe the midget has such great ariel prowess ! 55670[/snapback] Yes, he's always scored more than his share of headers and people never give him that much credit for his aerial threat!

I also loved on Owen's second goal how he was almost elbowing crouch out of the way to ensure he scored!

One of the best friendlies you'll ever see and England finally showing they can play that well against the best teams. Some really impressive football all round, fought back from behind twice and great entertainment, how often do we say that after an England match! And yet agin you are left amazed when you remember Owen plays for us!!!

Thats about right. I wouldn't want them at all and don't think they should be playing football in England, but if they did then they can start right at the bottom and work their way up like every other team would have to.

Read about this a while back, their mother and the other adults aroudn them are scum plain and simple, they are just brainwashed kids as somebody said. But for all that i wouldn't wear one, those smilie faced hitler t-shirts are class!!!

Not a bad start, it can still go either way of course, blast through them cheaply tomorrow, or they stick in and build a good score. Plus you need both teams to have an innings to see where the game is going. Good to see Harmy and Freddie straight back into the swing of things, but the real test will be the batsmen after the warm up games. A few in need of runs and obviously there is Ian Bell who knows he was dropped until the injury. Does it affect his confidence or does it make him go for it to prove the slectors wrong?

Yeah, thats the reason there will be no Scots in the team, they didn't want to...

I didn't know she was that old, she's not looking bad for it to be fair!

Kevin Muscat described in three words. 55002[/snapback] I think three more apt words to describe Muscat would be to use the c-word three times, he's a disgrace.

I thought the thread title was "Grimbo" so i was expecting an inane rant on the altitude, direction and accuracy of Robert's corners for the last 3 seasons...i'm a little disappointed!!!

I think he'll already be squirming from that!!!

I did like the description of Robbie Williams in the "Twats amnesty thread", calling him a "Fucksponge"!!!

I agree about covering options on the bench and there is a value to a striker with physical strength (rather than say pure aerial ability), but if you're good enough you don't have to have that option all the time. Arsenal have the likes of Henry who's shite in the air and he's played alongside and with other players who aren't exactly dominant in the air like Reyes, Bergkamp etc. Meanwhile Chelsea have shown with Drogba the value of having a physical presence, so it depends what you are working with and how well your team is playing and what style of football they're playing. And just to be annoying, i would have loved to see Owen/Bellamy up front as any defence would struggle to handle those two playing together and if you had Dyer in the same line up we would be lethal on the break! 51807[/snapback] I think the only thing you need really, is an outlet. To keep the ball. Whether this is to a strong player who can hold the ball, or a fast player who you play it into space for, doesn't really matter. The point is you can get the ball, keep it or get to it first, and move up the field and attack. Owen and Bellamy would have been fantastic. Owen is a penalty box player, Bellamy would have played as he always did, and Owen would have benefited from his partner like Shearer did, or more like Shearer if he had been in his prime. Meanwhile, it never ceases to amaze me why teams bring everyone back for corners etc. You should always leave someone up. If you have 2 players like this standing near the halfway line, every team we play would be forced to keep back at least 3 players of their own. Take the initiative, put them on the back foot. Turn them, make them worry about your pace in that situation. 54582[/snapback] The corner thing has pissed me off for years and it defies belief when managers and coaches can't see it or see it and choose to ignore it. If you have a fast player (Owen, Bellamy, Dyer or whoever) and put them just before the halfway line they are onside and any decent clearance from the box is going to leave the possibility of a breakaway goal or at least them being fouled and possibly a red card. Then as you say another advantage is that the other team has to leave acouple of defenders back to watche them, meaning less people crowding our box to score for the opposition. And what exactly is the argument for not doing it, that we'd miss the defensive aerial ability of Dyer/Owen/Bellamy etc. in our box!!! FFS how can any fan in the ground see this yet it was beyond the current and past management.

As people have said strikers and perhaps a fullback is the priority for the transfer window without question.

Not quite. It was a privilige for Alans dad to bash sheet metal for 15 hours a day, not a pressure. Then he'd go home and his fatha would beat him. Again, if he was lucky. 53959[/snapback] Heard it was more like 27 hours a day tbh. 54094[/snapback] With only a hanful of warm gravel and a suck on a damp cloth for sustenance. 54139[/snapback] Luxury!!! We had to make do with a lump of cold poison. Enjoyed the Nobby article, top bloke who appreciates what the club means and loves being here. Also like the fact Emre's nickname is a character from top cat!

Emre Taylor Shola

I wish the club had just made this clear ages ago as it was blatatly obvious something wasn't right. If the had people would have understood more and wouldn't have blamed Dyer for all of it and hated him so much. Theres obviously not much he can do about it and like Gemmill i know he'd rather be playing and i'd rather he was as he adds something to our attack.

Like Palace last year Papa? Johnson just had to fall over within a few feet of a defender and they got a penalty! 53232[/snapback] Thats true actually, two years running now a promoted team has had that, but overall its a drop in the ocean to the regular crap the smaller clubs new to the prem get from our shite officials.

Good post actually. Thank you As many will complain about, I've been around for ages. Right then, I guess I must not have noticed. Have you always had the same forum name? What people like you and others call banter, I call insults and abuse. Strange how when I retaliate with abuse and insults you people don't consider it to be banter. Key thing - Context. In the context of this thread your banter seems abusive What's the point in talking about football on here? Most of what is posted on here is CM generated cack, posted by people who haven't a clue what they're on about iibafhai. Some do talk like that so you take it with a pinch of salt, but not all of us are like that. Some of us have different ways of talking out of our arses That's banter by the way. 52936[/snapback] Incidentally, wtf does 'iibafhai' mean is that text speak???? 53231[/snapback] I'll take a guess at it: Could be, If i'm being absolutely fucking honest about it...anywhere close???
