West Brom away Carling Cup thread

[Whelan]

out of interest is Flanagan injured? know he wasn't as good last year as he was the one before and Wisdom has done really well at right back too but would've expected him to be on the bench last night

 

I think so yes.

[frankiebredahew]

was Morgan injured or rested for Saturday

[DanDanShaw]

Heard the Sahin song yesterday for the first time, it made me laugh haha.

[The Guest]

Possibly neither. He looked out of his depth when he played. He is young though but going on the performances of the other youngsters if he can't take his chance when it comes then he isn't going to get many as we seem to have so many at a high standard.

It is a bit lame and rubbish.

 

But we have Assaidi and Suso to worry about. Nothing obvious with those two springs to mind. I've already discarded Sussudio by Phil Collins as a non-starter.

 

 

Ass Ass Aidi to the tune of ice ice baby?

[Major Tom]

Ass Ass Aidi to the tune of ice ice baby?

 

Funny.

[sh#t waffle]

Well my daddy left home when I was three

And he didn't leave much to ma and me

Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.

Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid

But the meanest thing that he ever did

Was before he left, he went and named me "Suso."

 

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke

And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,

It seems I had to fight my whole life through.

Some gal would giggle and I'd get red

And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,

I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Suso."

 

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,

My fist got hard and my wits got keen,

I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.

But I made a vow to the moon and stars

That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars

And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

 

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July

And I just hit town and my throat was dry,

I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.

At an old saloon on a street of mud,

There at a table, dealing stud,

Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Suso."

 

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad

From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,

And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.

He was big and bent and gray and old,

And I looked at him and my blood ran cold

And I said: "My name is 'Suso!' How do you do!

Now you’re gonna die!!"

 

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes

And he went down, but to my surprise,

He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.

But I busted a chair right across his teeth

And we crashed through the wall and into the street

Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

 

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men

But I really can't remember when,

He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.

I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,

He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,

He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

 

And he said: "Son, this world is rough

And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough

And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.

So I give ya that name and I said goodbye

I knew you'd have to get tough or die

And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

 

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight

And I know you hate me, and you got the right

To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.

But ya ought to thank me, before I die,

For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye

Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Suso.'"

 

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun

And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,

And I came away with a different point of view.

And I think about him, now and then,

Every time I try and every time I win,

And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him

Bill or George! Anything but Suso! I still hate that name!

good wingers are like buses, you wait ages for one and then two arrive at the same time.

Can we not put Downing on a bus - the fuck outta here ?

[J-V]

Can we not put Downing on a bus - the fuck outta here ?

 

I had hoped that would happen during the summer. A joke of a signing.

[jon lad]

Ass Ass Aidi to the tune of ice ice baby?

 

that my friend is flippin brilliant

[JaminKibbler]

After watching that, I find myself falling back into love with football again.

 

No prima donna bullshit. Just a team fighting for each other and actually playing proper football. Great to see, even on my stuttering stream!

 

Same for me mate, was great to see. Really enjoyed us playing this season, despite not getting the results we've been playing some of the best football for a few years.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Suso Suarez Sterling

Sahin

Gerrard Allen

 

got to start with that against Norwich.

 

Yes, 'S Express'

[fowler9]

I get what your saying in that Home against Gomel, both Manc teams, West Brom in carling cup and the Young Boys game we've played some really good stuff that has been encouraging

 

but then both legs against Hearts, West Brom in the league, Gomel away and Arsenal at home have been as bad as anything in recent years

 

although don't get me wrong I think he knows what he is doing and we'll come good
