For the lazy - they currently have 3 each.

They're absolutely slaughtering Inter.

Shouldn't have let go of Coutinho I guess!

Mostly old articles fuge or related to earlier incidents.

 

No one are denying there are racists in Russia just like no one are denying there are racists in the UK and more importantly no one are denying racism was a major problem in English football 30 years ago.

 

But most importantly, is not what Ayre is doing here also racist?

Jesus Christ.

OK, just finished this show recently, so I can finally read this thread!

The ending. Here's the problem, as I see it:

enjoy!

This is bullshit. Walking off in the face of racist abuse is a completely acceptable response. It's far more effective than the inevitable slap on the wrist Zenit will get from UEFA.

Another home run from our crack team of executives.

Easy this management lark, isn't it?

Exactly.

For me, the reason why the Mancs have been up there for so long in this country is because Ferguson recognises the importance of simplicity.

Well either that, in which case all the managers of the top sides are just complete tools or else Ferguson manages to get results because of other factors, be it managerial continuity, man management, a certain sway over referees. Whatever.

I don't know too many statistics, but I think that the league table is a pretty good arbiter of form. The table says City are the second best team in the Premiership, and to my mind that makes Mancini better than most of those who would be fêted to replace him.

I'm confused, didn't you used to like Mancini, when did you go off him? Or was that AVB?

75% of Premier League managers could have won the title with that brilliant squad City had last season.

I think that's unfair. Great players don't automatically equal a great team *cough* England *cough*

Plus he played most of the game today with a thigh injury, out of the England game reportedly and physioroom.com says "no return date"!

Voted other - for Glen Johnson.

Well of course Carra and Gerrard are my long time numbers one and two, but maybe it's time for someone else to have a chance...?

She said she had to put boxes, shoes and other shit on the seats in the house to prove no one was sitting on them. The comedy/horror never ends with this guy.

But all kidding aside, I think this guy needs professional help.

Here's a revolutionary thought: if Skrtl has been shit lately, maybe he should, y'know, be dropped.

Crazy I know.

What I'd give for a Mascherano or even a Sissoko in midfield right now.

I miss Sissoko. He was never the same after he took that boot to the eye.

Add Shields - Grizzly Bear (2012) to the list and we have a deal

Just downloaded it the other day, haven't had time to give it a proper listen yet!

NWA "Straight Outta Compton" and Public Enemy "Fear of a Black Planet" are two of my faves ya cheeky fucker...

Respect, homie.

Negged for being :

 

a. on facebook

 

b. being wrong

 

c. being young.

I think those three things might all be connected. But I'll take the neg like a man.

I think I disagree with the main premise of the thread, although I realise I'm probably younger than most of you (23 next week). Incidentally, did someone say above that life in the 1940s wasn't as bad as we thought?

The Nine-teen-forties. What the actual fuck.

Don't talk to me about modern "music", just don't, alright ?

 

Just don't even go there. Ever.

Sorry, should have put that in NSFW tags.

Aah, come on. I see this kind of thing on facebook all the time. It's obviously an unfair comparison. Comparing one of the most famous bands of an era to the worst, jokiest shite of today. I bet 99.999% of the songs that came out in 1970 sounded awful compared to 'Since I've Been Loving You'.

Music today, just like always, is mostly poor, a little bit of good and a tiny bit of great.

Check out some decent modern music before you write it off:

El Camino - Black Keys (2011)

Only by the Night - Kings of Leon (2008 )

Whatever People Think I Am... - Arctic Monkeys (2006)

Tyrannosaurus Hives - The Hives (2004)

Elephant - White Stripes (2003)

Up the Bracket - The Libertines (2002)

and of course

Kid A - Radiohead (2000)

I listen to a lot of music from all different eras and I don't think it's getting worse, I think it's much easier to produce today so there's a lot more diversity. So if anything it's better.

Two of my all-time favourite albums, by the way, are In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998 ) and Astral Weeks (1968 ).

And I'm not going to even try and convince you about the merits of rap and hip-hop...

Thoughts after yesterday Dave?

I thought having Johnson might have made a difference, Wisdom's defending in the build up to their second goal was a little hesitant. Otherwise, I didn't think Gerrard or Suarez looked in the least affected by the two games in a week.

I voted no but having read the thread, I feel the need to qualify.

On a pavement, or an otherwise clean lawn, it's litter. Throw it under a hedge or something.

Also, I eat while walking all the time.

Am I the only one who hated the final scene, then?

Find it hard to believe that a guy as meticulous as Walt would leave something so incriminating around, to be perfectly honest. Other than that a great season.

Just when I thought it couldnt get any worse - TB in the Times is mentioning Heskey.

Kill me now.

You couldn't make this up, could you?

Increased Pre-Tax Earnings is the new treble.

Seriously, though, this result pisses me off. It's almost like they did it just to spite us.

The pessimistic version of our season goes:

Suarez is brilliant at creating opportunities but consistently fails to score. Borini is much the same. Chances go begging and we end up losing games despite dominating most teams, because we simply cannot score. We finish 8th or 9th.

The optimistic version goes:

Our new style of play helps our strikers and goals start to flow, with a fair few coming from midfield as well. The team plays quick passing football, youngsters like Morgan and Sterling have a big impact and we make a strong push for 4th.

Have to wait and see.

England win likely? Not really.

Possible? Definitely.

Better this than f**tball right now, anyway.
