In any season in the Premiership our toughest games would include Chavski, Bolton and Everton away. Sadly for us and the kneejerk media we've had those games in the first 7! The fact that we've collected zero points means that we're very unlikely to win the league, again this year, but it's hardly a disaster. If we get points out of our tirps to Manchester and Arsenal then we're doing slightly better than last year no? When our team is used to Rafa's rotation policy (which Irather like I have to say) then we'll be laughing. Realistically I don't think anyone thought we'd win the league this season, but I my opinion a beautiful era is ahead of us.

He looked very good at times but that was down to the woeful defending I feel. Garcia was a nightmare again last night. I've really lost patience with him. Not just because he can't defend, but in the dying minutes when we really need him to hold onto the ball he was shrugged off so easily! I was sceaming for Rafa to take him off at half time. How many times do we need to watch a lad put in quality crosses before something's done about it? Seemed very strange to me. I think Garcia's shagging Rafa to be honest. Great fucking match though!

The giant JAR cut-out was causing more than it's fair share of obstructed views.

Zenden in for Sissoko I reckon... apart from that, same team. Is there a prize?

Top notch!

As has already been said, Rafa wants Alves so that's good enough for me! Having never seen either of them sufficiently enough to pass comment on their actual footballing ability, I leave it to the big fella! Although I do really want someone called Dirk in the squad!

250 at the first attempt! I obvioulsy spend too much time playing games on the interweb!

Maybe it's because I'm tired and it's early, but that one made me chuckle!

Diao, Diouff, Diomede.... .... anyone beginning with the letter D really. Dicks, Dundee, David James..... Hmmm.... can't think of any more. They're all fucking shit though.

Spain?! :tease:

Germany look very good. They're playing well, have a young team and have home advantage. Oh, and I've got them in the sweepstake at work!

Terrible idea. Better, cheaper, younger players in positions we actually need I reckon.

What's a Steve Winwood?! :whistle:

Surely we can do something with 'Valerie' by The Zutons here?!

Welcome to the club you horrible little git!

38 and bored

I was getting so pissed off with them calling him Kowt that I muted the telly! How the fuck did the get 'Kowt' from the letters K,U,Y,T? Looks a decent player though!

Mate, we all know that Owen needs at least 6 games after injury to get his sharpness back. We went through it enough times. I guess you're right though... he should have gone (I think my rage and hangover got the better of me there!), but knowing his condition Sven should have taken Defoe as well, instead of either Hargreaves or Jenas. Right now we're left with 1 injured striker, a Crouchinho and a kid. Thank God for Stevie G.

Really fucking stupid idea to take him in the first place. That was even more of a gamble than taking Rooney. It's easy to say 'I told you so' but we bloody did, a very long time ago! Sven is a prick, he doesn't deserve to be a manager at McDonalds let alone the England football team. Tactically inept, his team selections are bizarre, and he fails to get the best out of players. Once again, it comes down to our lads to rescue a fucked up team.

Never seen the guy play apart from a brief stint in the WC... but I'd sign him just on the name! We need someone called Dirk in the ranks!

I think it comes down to the quality of the boot. I got some addidas blades from some chavvy shop and they were 25quid, before long I'd done ankle ligaments on both feet... on the right I knackered both sides of the ankle. The more expensive type (like me shiney new F50+'s!) have much smaller and more rounded blades so turning in the ground isn't a problem.... Trouble is, when you get the expensive ones they have fuck all in the way of protection at the top of the boot. Makes them very lightweight, but if you take a stud in the top of your foot it's going to hurt! In conclusion.... blades are not the route of all evil, but get good ones! I think the lightweight material causes more problems. Ifithadnabinfer the fact these bastards were 100quid I'd be back to Puma Kings!

He he! No, I meant yesterday when I was trying to watch the game, I'm getting confused when trying to use the right tense yesterday.

I'm in the UK and the cunting website still won't let me watch it!

I sent the guy an email too... but nothing can top Emlyn's respones! The last line is legendary: "That fact that it is football (yes, as in played with the feet), and that you don’t like football, only serves to highlight, my American buddy, that you are a cunt." .... very good!
