Unlike you, Rob, I don't duck questions. One of us, why wouldn't he be if he served his country ? Absurd question, especially coming from someone with zero idea about the security services and their responsibility to the public anyway.

Apart from seeing them relegated, a smashing idea.

..point being, which you still miss, is that it isn't us who are against the integration 55135[/snapback] Who's the 'us' you are talking about? 55138[/snapback] us 55140[/snapback] Explain please. 55141[/snapback] why do people feel the need to seek refuge in another country, then show their appreciation in such a manner ? So who is to blame, they [who have been given a new home or life]. Surely not ?

Presumably that was an example of the idealistic view of the joys of a pretty much single race community, collapsing in ruins. 55085[/snapback] do gooders answer their own question. Why should we treat our own the same as those who aren't. I think the events of this last few weeks in Paris speak for themselves. Why do you want to accomodate racists in this country ? Another question to you 2 do gooders. What would, or will you do, when we have the same problems ? 55108[/snapback] Humans? 55127[/snapback] yes, they are, but it is your taxes. And thats what happens to it. If you want to live in a different country , you should adapt to it, not the other way round.

biggest disgrace in living memory. Tories have put party politics before the good of the country. So much for the party of law and order. Stand by for terrorists being released due to security services being unable to find the evidence necessary to nail this scum within the 28 day period. For those who think such animals have "rights", don't be shocked or put on shock reaction and disgust, when the next explosion goes off somewhere.

idealistic view of the joys of a multi racial society, collapsing in ruins. fancy being taught the error of your ways, by the French of all people "racists riot and sent home as a result", would be an appropriate headline....

Depends on your point of view. In mine, the hypocrites are those who 1. had nothing but admiration for Craig Bellamy when he played for Newcastle, and turned a blind eye to the fact he opens his mouth too much because he was a great player, but now he is gone focus on the fact he opens his mouth too much rather than the fact he was/is a great player. Hypocrites. Of the highest degree. 2. Those who were against Souness when he came, who said he would sell all our flair players, and didn't want him, that now say a. He has done right to get rid of our flair players at the expense of top 4/5 results. b. Give him time. Hypocrites, Whichever way you care to look at it. Someone who stays true to their convictions, is certainly not a hypocrite, and I suggest if you think they are, you should look in the dictionary. They know who they are.

Crespo ? Seedorf ? 54613[/snapback] Already answered. It's Dean Saunders. 54648[/snapback] thought they were taking the piss...as always with fucikwit and his backroom of yes men Shame he and the rest of them have learned fuck all over the years about transmitting whatever they must have learned.....

Crespo ? Seedorf ?

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. 54600[/snapback] yes, but we are only fans, they are professionals and know best ! Anyone care to point out the playing backround of Wenger, Mourinho and Ferguson as proof ?

for puffs. Can't believe I've agreed with you at last ..

would like to reply but can't. I would say, yes, if the feeling is mutual and you are absolutely sure it is mutual. It is such a change for you, to revolve and change your whole life for someone who may not feel like you do. So, when it comes down to it, you have to follow your heart, or you will regret it if you don't. But only you can know for sure.

served his time though didn't he Rob ?

He's an ugly hunch-backed Welsh dwarf though. 53321[/snapback] Scored against the mackems, therefore legendary status is automatic. If I see him, the pints are on me. 53323[/snapback] *cough* Andy O'Brien *cough* 53332[/snapback] and nikos's heed was a GREAT bloke

Sex on legs? 53529[/snapback] for sheep shaggers of course then !

renewed optimism last heard when winning 8 games or whatever against pub teams last season. Not too far away from the mentioned 4 wins, against poor teams, all of whom had grounds for feeling they at least matched us, or looking at it the other way round, we were as bad as them. And unfortunately, we still aren't in the top 4/5 position we were in before Souness arrived. The post from isegrim is good reading. 53191[/snapback] 3 points off 4th tbh. 53195[/snapback] 3 points off 3rd actually...! Some people will never be satisfied. I guess they'd be happier if we played 'pretty football' and got thumped 3-0 53413[/snapback] it's as Alex said. Winning [against poor teams] is of course alright, but your peformance gives you the guide to whether or not you will continue winning, when you play better teams. And, in my opinion, we won't. Therefore, as we won more often under Bobby Robson than Souness, and Souness has had 50m to improve his SQUAD, he's a fuckwit and a failure.
