Calm down

[goatboy59]

Bit of a knob, yes. Cockroach, no.

 

Bewildering, as Paddy B has gone a lot further.

 

Not sure I ever described a fairly harmless ex-Red in such virulent terms, Dicko.

 

Might have done though. Twas a long time ago!

[stringvest]

You don't have to be a rafapologist to think Redknapp is a bit of a knob do you?

 

I thought that was a commonly held belief by anyone with a bit of sense?

 

You're right Tommy. Jamie's a bit dim. Lovely looking fella though.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Redknapps class, and a handsome bastard at that, silk suit envy all round.

[goatboy59]

You're right Tommy. Jamie's a bit dim. Lovely looking fella though.

The shiny suit reminds me of the little gay fella in 'Good Morning Vietnam'.

[TommyW]

I would

[Lucky Pierre]

Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Something bad happened last night. You probably know what. Then I wake up today thinking it's Tuesday again and we're still in it. Utter devastation.

Perhaps not as strong, but your antipathy towards him was unmistakeable.

I've read what Paddy Berger's said and it's par for the course given the current run we're on.

 

Redknapp's comments however were bang out of order, and that caused trouble as Gerrard had to publicly deny them, following a media frenzy.

[El_Ménco]

You know things are desperate when people are pretending Robbie Keane wasn't shit for us.

Not so sure Gerrard covered himself in glory there.

 

Not that the manager isn't averse to making conflicting statements in private and in public either

 

*taps nose*

 

Too many agendas at this club sometimes. I thought Parry leaving might have calmed it down but it seems to get worse, especially with the form as it is.

Don't have to pretend - he really wasn't.

 

Unless we've taken language to a whole new level. What is the descriptive word for permanently picked, never subbed Dirk Kuyt 09/10 'vintage', for example?

True I suppose.

But if Redknapp was told he should of kept his mouth shut.

 

And so should have Gerrard (allegedly), especially to Mark Lawrenson as well. (Allegedly)

[loadsoftrophies]

Jamie is going to have a Terry Wogan moment with the size of his suits.

I detested Keane with a passion.

Dirk's been beyond piss poor this season though, and it's a worrying blind spot by the manager.

 

I would have sacked Keane after the miss against Atletico, if he'd just missed fair enough, but missing it while trying to be a fucking smartarse was unforgivable.

 

If it was up to me the only way he would have got back home from Madrid was by fucking air mail.

That's what makes his 'Manipulates' quotes so pathetic, isn't that what Jammie himself seeks to do with his work via the media, is that not the point in being paid to air your views?

 

As you have pointed out on top of the 'Gerrard on the right' whinge from him, it is difficult to listen to him without thinking 'white fucking suits' and 'arguably the most pathetic cup final performance ever'!

 

Didn't John Barnes give a particularly sly interview the day after the 4-4 derby, something about nobody should ever leave a player like Peter Beardsley on the bench?

[loadsoftrophies]

Get looser suits Jamie.

I vaguely recall that.

 

Was it before or after he scored? ;)

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

The apologists have set up base camp, high fives and arse slapping all round.

 

 

 

 

Loving the sweeping generalisations there chief

 

Although I am growing rather fond of the "apologist" label, as stock replies go, it's not too bad

 

Of course, reasoned discussion without the need for insults would be preferable, but I suppose that would be asking too much

[Dicko]

After I think, let's not forget he was also offside.

But that would be petty, he did finish it well.

Who should replace him? That's the crux of it. Babel? Benny on right, Riera on left? Wait til El Zhar's back and we're laughing? Do those guys justify inclusion either? No-one's on form and the replacements are either injured, off form, or plain shite.

[Ted]

Paul Tomkins put Redknapp in his place.

That is indeed the question, now that Aquilani is approaching match fitness, I would put Gerrard out there.

I'm not sure what Robbie Keane's shitness has to do with Kuyt who, admittedly, has been pretty atrocious.

 

Still, Kuyt's 4 goals from 19 games from the right wing this season is still better than Keane's 7 goals from 29 games last season. (According to the statistics I have on hand, that is). So compared to Keane, describing Kuyt as 'vintage' probably wouldn't be too far off... I also don't remember anyone contributing as little to the general team play itself as Robbie Keane did in the short time he was with us.

[Whelan]

Now that Riera and Fabio are approaching full fitness I would put Benny out there.

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

Paul Tomkins put Redknapp in his place.

 

 

That'll learn him

Well he's right about Rafa really, and he probably did get primed by Gerrard on the right wing thing. He should shut up and so should the fans who leaked the stuff Rafa told SoS.

 

Cynic that I am I believe the player and manager probably gave them that birragoss (as my better half charmingly describes tittle tattle!) knowing full well people can't keep their gobs shut for long.

 

And I can't see Souness on Sky without thinking of Loverpool and his own piss poor attempt at the hardest job in football, but it doesn't automatically negate the point he's making.

 

JB also had to apologise to Souness on the day we played Bristol City in the cup. 'Coincidentally' an absolute shocker of a team performance that gave him no option but to resign.
