  1. Ireland have looked really good today & quite ruthless when chances have occurred. Is it just me though who thinks they get away with a lot more than any other northern hemisphere team with their 'professionalism' around the rucks & breakdown.
  2. Some fair points KO, but I don't think Arsenal away is too similar to the great majority of our games & the early goal also tempered our aggression.
  3. You don't want him to get better FP ? or did I misunderstand your post ?
  4. I didn't even know he had been given jurisdiction over defending free-kicks.
  5. They have finally charged him, but ruined the effect by doing the ridiculous 'explain yourself ' routine first, clearly exposing the fact that they were trying to let him wriggle out of the biggest slam-dunk of a disrepute charge in history.
  6. They are also supposedly looking at a Korean lad in Japan - KIm Win Sook (sp) who is 6ft 5ins. If Fellaini doesn't go & they get Fer & him, they will be the only team in the Prem that Stoke have to change their tactics for. ( On a side-matter does anybody hate the lazy way that the English press think the world revolves around us. The story about the guy in Japan says he is called ' The Korean Peter Crouch' & I'll bet a pound to a pinch of shite that he isn't & that less than 5% of Japanese footy fans even register the existence of Crouchy ) Sorry -rant over.
  7. I thought Robinson was pretty awful, but he produced one fantastic run that Borini somehow managed to cock up seconds into the second half. Been a little bit of stick for Henderson, but I thought he played well & if the rest of the team had been as desperate to win as Gerrard, Suarez & him, we probably would have. (Downing made a difference too )
  8. As long as we pass on the older lad, Pol.
  9. Still has some shortcomings to work on, but he has moved forward massively over the past year & in his last 4 major major tournaments he has won the US & the Olympics and been runner-up in the other two.
  10. I was very surprised to see a midfield starting line up for a physical cup tie that was without any of Gerrard, Lucas or Shelvey. Having said that with a slightly different run of the ball & a couple of different refereeing calls it could have been a comfortable win. Thought Henderson & Gerrard were very good.
  11. Most normal people would be devastated to be on a rape charge, the smirk he came out of court with spoke volumes for me.
  12. The only thing that redeems him slightly in my eyes, is that he seems to reserve a massive dislike for Arsenal that can only be matched by RIS on here.
  13. I am going to be controversial here & see how he does for us before making a judgement on him.
  14. Interested to see BBC Sport saying he was dominant in the air, which isn't really an aspect we see with the way our younger teams play. David Raven was also playing for Inverness.
  15. Managed to do all of the life-saving tests in the baths when I was 10 except for the old ' getting the rubber brick off the bottom of the six-foot end in your pyjamas 'but got the badge anyway as the assessors were more interested in the money they cost.
  16. Carra's Marsh lane in Bootle I think, Big Pricey is West Derby.
  17. Peter Crouch & Dean Whitehead come on for Stoke. Crouch came from Spurs & Whitehead from middle-Earth.
  18. I assume that he didn't think that he was a priority, or that he wasn't worth£15m, particularly if he wasn't going to be available for a CL tilt this season anyway.
  19. I can't believe the lad is retiring as a ballboy. 3 more years and he would have had a testimonial.
  20. A touch embarrassing but I seem to remember in the mists of time, a poll / thread on here about who was the better player Momo Sissoko or Ronaldinho.
  21. A pain in the arse, but realistically the figures were never going to add up for this one without some element of ppv. Not convinced Price v Fury is at ppv level at this point, but shows what a few demented comments about plumbers can do.
  22. I hate those Ladrokes ones with Kamara and that fucking idiot screaming like a loon. It's not funny in the slightest, it's just massively irritating.
