anyway who cares, lets talk about what books we'd like to burn eh?

So what's popular that isn't good? where to start...? N-Dubz, being a chav, txt spk, Boyzone... N-Dubz fans think N-Dubz is good. Chavs think chavs are good. People who use txt spk think txt spk is good. Boyzone fans think Boyzone are good. So you're basically wrong, and expressing a personal opinion as fact. By that rationale Nazi's are good, Fundamentalist Muslims are good, Rape is good. None of those are particularly popular though are they? eh...theres quite a few muslims so yeah. Nazis were pretty big back in the day too, we're talking boyzone big.

Don't understand where they're coming from here, they make out as if it's a shock that countries can fit into the size of a large continent, what a big surprise. The only continent they compare it to is Europe and they for some reason cut off all the scandinavian countries and then there's Russia which isn't even mentioned.

Trappatoni has said it's because he doesn't play enough, not being funny but getting the odd game for man.u still puts him ahead of someone playing regulary for derby..especially when he's a decent looking player who can score from midfield, something we seriously lack now. Ireland need a new McGrath at the back and a new Version of Quinn up front to make that team anywhere near a threat to the decent sides. Highlight of the night was Sky picking up on Shay going ballistic at the defense at a freekick with swear words flying everywhere Thats the thing though, Glenn Whelan (who I dont have a major problem with) has played less for Stoke this season than Gibson has for Man U, and far less than Coleman for Everton.

we're depressingly one dimensional, why is Kilbane still playing for us, why was Paul Green ever called up, why is there no Seamus Coleman, argh frustration

Wenger was a defender so again another exception, though the likes of Allerdyce and Pulis were defenders IIRC

I think he'd have been long banned on any other forum I have ever been on, I like the fact this place prides itself on tolerance but still.....

Tbf to him he continully reiterates that they are still learning and bascially work harder than the 'bigger sides'. oh yeah he's done a great job there alright, no doubt about that with that squad it's a wonder that they've already got more points than Derby did the whole season two seasons back

still reckon they may well go down this season, looking less likely now obviously, he made some decent signings there before the window closed.

first truly exciting player weve had for a long time and he gets crocked almost immediately, reminds me of the Ramsey injury and how Arsenal fans must have felt, just as the lad was starting to shine he gets sliced in half by some idiot. Sadly looks like Ben Arfa will go down as yet another "what might have been" associated with this team

Shawcross, Cattermole and De Jong, havnt seen enough of Henry apart from the one the other day to know for sure. Dishonourable mentions go to Michael Brown and Gavin McCann who arent playing in the PL anymore but were/are total cunts.

Hope so but doubt it, reckon he'd just throw in Smith again if Nolan got injured or Lovenkrands etc

although Benitez fucked about a fair in his last couple of seasons at Liverpool I think if he had made some of the decisions Hodgson has made (terrible signings, playing Carragher at LB, Kyriakos up front, letting decent youngsters go to buy Konchesky) he would be getting absoltutely mauled by the media and everyone else.

wouldnt mind seeing someone like Vuckic given a chance to prove himself but it will never happen we've been way to cautious with younger players for years

doubt it, more like a 13th-15th finish I reckon

fantastic finish from Drogba Chelsea 1-0 up on Arsenal half time

the amount of flamboyant players getting their seasons and in some cases careers fucked up by mugs like DeJong Shawcross and Cattermole is a travesty and it's certainly gotten worse in the last couple of seasons.

Jonas!

Kevin Nolan again...sigh

Id say Moybray will get the job when Strachan does go, he really has done bad with the squad at his disposal, especially last season.

thing is though Sam doesnt really try to have his teams kill the opposition, it's just generally a fairly dour style of play that he goes for (and to be honest his current Blackburn team are nothing compared to the snorefest he had at Bolton). Pulis on the other hand seems to encourage leg snapping and at the very least has formed a defence of thugs in Shawcross and Wilkinson and to some extent Huth (even though he's an agressive lump I dont think he's too malicious).

I wonder how shit Nolan has to be to be dropped, it's not that he's absolutely useless but he's been given one of the most important roles in the team and is one of the least effective.

CH's substitution choices this season have been abominable

Im constantly hearing how the Spanish league is better than the PL, they might have two of the best teams but fuck me apart from that theres the odd decent player scattered around but it's mostly shite beyond belief. Serie A is now pants, the Bundeslige is probably better than it now but there's no question in my mind that the EPL is the best.

Also, I'd really like to see Nolan dropped
