    Tickets, flights and accommodation all sorted now. Cost more than I wanted due to various fuck ons but at least it's done. Can't wait for this now!

    Got me tickets confirmed now happy days! Just need to sort our accomodation now.
  4. David Kelly
    Of course they have. Been on the turn for weeks!

    Is it just me that think Arsenal's 4th goal hadn't crossed the line until Jenkinson put it in?
  6. David Kelly
    Exactly, so he had to sue the club. Why should that piss you off?
  7. David Kelly
    How could he have sued Ashley?
  8. David Kelly
    Shite game. Thought Santon was probably the best player. Cisse should have had a couple. Fucking cold too!
  9. David Kelly
    I seriously doubt Saylor will give a fuck about it, he probably enjoyed it.

    I think his view was clear but it was just from the wrong angle. From his position I think it would have looked clear enough to make the decision without consulting his assistant. Fletcher and mongs reaction will have made it even easier for him like!

    I totally agree with this. I said when they first showed it from the Ref's angle that it looked a bad challenge. I don't think he made a mistake with his decision in that sense. I also think given that it was high, there was enough in it to mean there's no chance of it being overturned, which is exactly the angle I think Pardew is coming from with it. That still doesn't change my opinion that it shouldn't have been more than a booking. Even if I would have been shouting for a red card (not for long I don't think though) if the situation was reversed. I don't think it was worse than Cabaye's challenge last season for example and even the makems have pretty much forgot about that now!

    See for me this is about as much loyalty as you can expect. It's no surprise that a player from Wimbledon would want to be part of what we had going here at the time but what is lovely to see is that the club and its fans had an effect on him and earned a place in his heart. Beresford and Bobby Lee are much the same. So are Ferdinand and Ginola to an extent but their feelings are more divided as they had great relationships with Spurs too and they were only here for a couple of seasons. It's no surprise though to see ex players who were here when time were good supporting the club. You might not get the same from John Robertson or Bassong!

    I'm not convinced about that either
  14. David Kelly
    To be honest this is what I was getting at. I just wanted to see if anyone else picked up on it. Shearer wanted to be here largely because he loves the club. But it also cost us a hell of a lot to keep him loyal. If the wages hadn't been there I'm not convinced he would have turned down Manure!

    This is a fact. I'm not knocking Colo at all, he's an absolutely brilliant player for us (possibly my favorite at the club) and along with Woodgate is the best defender I've ever seen here. But it has to be said that his first season was a mare and at the time of our relegation he was looked at as an almost comedy figure by other fans, the press and even a lot of our own fans. His reputation in this country was basically zero. In Spain he would have still had a reputation but his wages and price tag would have put teams off (not many clubs in Spain will pay £10m+ for centreback and the ones that could wouldn't have been interested at the time) so we would have been basically left with loaning him out and quite possibly given the investment in him, the club wasn't interested in that. He may have had little option but to dig in and try and resurrect his career here.

    Have Harper and Shola been loyal or to lazy to move on to find regular first team football?
  17. David Kelly
    Has Colo been loyal though? He cost a lot of money and is on a big wage. Given how bad his first season was it was never going to be easy to shift him when we went down. That image of him being a donkey with dodgy hair, unfairly, took a while to shake off and it was only really last season when he got the recognition he deserved. By which time he's knocking on a bit, still on big wages and we would want a pretty penny for him as he's our captain. Has he really had much in the way of opportunities to move on? Arguably Jonas would have been a far more attractive option to other clubs as he received quite a bit of praise from the start, we paid a lot less and I think his wages are quite a bit less. I would imagine their would have been inquiries about him that he wasn't interested in.

    The only possible justification for a sending off that I can see is that it was high. It was arguably high because he was off balance. But either way I don't think it was that high or that dangerous. I wouldn't go so far as to say Tiote went in late. The ball was there to go for just Fletcher got there first. This happens all the time in games. Sometimes one player is just quicker than the other. There's nothing malicious, dangerous or reckless about it and for me the only reason for it to result in a card is if the player fouled is getting through on goal.
  19. David Kelly
    I disagree. The only thing bad about the challenge at all for me was that it ended up half way up his shin. But that was only because he was swinging for the ball and Fletcher got there first. It wasn't his studs, it was the inside of his foot. It wasn't overly aggressive he was just trying to make a good contact with the ball. I really am at a loss to see why anyone would think it's a justifiable sending off.
  20. David Kelly
    If I remember rightly De Jong ended up scissoring him with both legs did he not?
  21. David Kelly
    Jesus titty fucking christ!
  22. David Kelly
    As I said before people scream for a card all the time these days. It doesn't mean all those challenges deserve a card. Most of the time it's because the player goes down like he's been shot.
  23. David Kelly
    I've never seen a tackly like that cause serious injury like. It was just a kick in the shin. That's what shin pads are for!
  24. David Kelly
    I'd agree with that too although you could argue that that him making the challenge when he was off balane made it less controlled and more dangerous so he should have pulled out.
  25. David Kelly
    Surely Luque scored more than one goal? Didn't he score against Palermo on Krul's debut as well as the obvious one against the scum? Not that it changes the fact that he was a flop like!
