Based on something you've read or just guessing?

I freaked him out http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/33439-world-issues/#entry1123529

Just spent an hour on the phone to my brother discussing this. The world is a very dangerous place, we have it very lucky in Europe and the economic buffer we have to protect our way of life may not last. Bars on the windows, buried food stocks, access to weaponry and a boat are about the only things you can do tbh.

Watched the one last week, it was decent. Driven, single-minded and determined people can come over as cocks, Brailsford seemed alright on it. The one I saw focused on the Tour of Norway and the Paris Roubaix race.

Gemmill whinges like a bitch about Leazes, gets him banned then leaves the forum. Funny fucker I do believe you should be polite to newcomers, when you meet people for the first time you dont take the piss out of them until you think they're alright, you're polite until you get to know them well enough not to be. Same should go for here, just because you can act differently doesnt mean you should. I dont think all online communities are the same, each has their own culture and many are far more polite and welcoming than here. Not saying people have to be nice, just act how you would expect to be acted towards.

What does she think of mumsnet and gransnet then? Ask her that rhetorically next time and then say 'as Mcfaul would say 'pipe down' and wait for her to ask you who McFaul is.

Only Marveaux's second start in the league, give him and Pardew a bit more time, i know he's been here a while but he needs game time. Personally i'd like to see him on the wing with 2 strikers up top but he seems to be used a bit differently for now. I think Anita looks decent, i dont form my opinion on a player on the basis of them making a couple of mistakes otherwise i'd be critical of Ben Arfa, which i'm not.

Usual posters writing players off tbh, its as though last season didnt happen.

We had one cleared off the line too remember and Cisse and Ben Arfa had glorious chances that they easily have the quality to bury 9 times out of 10. No one would disagree you were unlucky not to win though.

Sorry

Everyday experience on merseyside tbf.

I thought Anita looked alright there second half, you'd expect Debuchy to have been a lot better but i reckon Anita is going to show he is a better deep lying midfielder than Debuchy eventually

I think that's basically incorrect and I completely agree with Gary Neville who has called that game spot on, as he usually does. Ba and Cissé stopped Distin and Jagielka pushing the full backs on and Jonas and Anita sorted out Piennar and Baines. Pardew got us an excellent point there.

So which formation are we best with again?

Tough start to the season but not bad going so far, we need to improve and I think we will when we get Tiote, Colo and Krul back.

Shut it, mug.

Shut it

If you took Fellaini and Distin out of their side it would be a lot more even. Gary Neville made some good points there, highlighting Williamson shiteness basically.

You should have been a journalist.

Well i didnt say we are stronger up front but i certainly dont think we are weaker because Lovenkrands left. He is an irrelevance for me as we have plenty of options and wont need him in any competition.

As if Xisco can be used as an example to determine a 'change in policy'.

This thread is funny, ajax-andy was spot on btw.

Yes it does, we had a squad strong enough to come 5th last year. That squad is stronger, i couldnt give a fuck in this case whether its only a little bit stronger or not. There are 2 facts that count here, firstly it was strong enough to come 5th and secondly it is stronger today. You and i would prefer for it to be stronger and annoyingly it could have been but lets keep some perspective.

Probably the most talked about footballer in France and that was 5years ago!
