Dr Gloom

he's always been like that though. lean spells followed by periods when he can't stop scoring. wouldn't suprise if he goes on a run soon. he's definitely lost his pace though

we're all moaners at heart. comes with the territory when your club hasn't won anything in most of our lifetimes.

No worse than Owen's when he managed to fuck up after N'Zogbia's cross. I find Owen's poor touches to be less.....incessant. unlike your moans about martins Yep. Or your moans about every fucking thing else. there you go again - moaning about my moaning.

Got rid of Dyer and replaced him with an inferior player in Smith. He didn't get rid of Dyer. Dyer wanted to go hell of a lot of difference. Ok, Dyer wanted to leave and Allardyce replaced him with an inferior player. To be fair though, it's given you something (another thing) to constantly fucking moan about. says the martins moaner extraordinaire

he doesn't know how to stay on his feet and jockey. just goes lunging in. basics for central midfield tbh. he's shot shy and the less said about his distribution the better. he wasn't employed as a striker nor as an attacking midfielder though he was there to spoil Sunderlands attack, which he did quite well for a player who's not used to that sort of game... so I fail to see your reasoning my reasoning is that he's not a midfielder, so why continue playing him in a position where he does nothing but pick up but yellow cards? ps you'd expect a former striker to have a crack at goal when well placed instead of having a nosebleed.

and yet here we all are posting in it. his thread titles make me chuckle.

shocking selections from big sam today like. barton is clearly about as good a right winger as smith is a central midfielder.

if he stops playing smith in midfield i'll regain some confidence in him

this piece is so so bad. how can this man call himself a journalist? at the bits in bold

no. square pegs in round holes at the moment. i don't think he knows what his best side is yet.

i wouldn;t advocate getting rid of sam but some of his selections are starting to grate. smith in centre midfield - why? barton at right mid - eh? milner on the left and n'zogbia at left back - you tell me. taylor at right back - meh.

4 points from arsenal and liverpool?

egg by name egg by nature

howay. we need something to moan about. it was owen last week; this week it's oba.

Special K + Jalapino? Would certainly add some Woosh to that early morning shite. this morning for breakfast i had cheese on toast with jalapenos.

"...and it burns burns burns, the ring of fire"

I think I get what you're trying to say but they're all fucking pepper-shaped.... They're peppers man! i think they're called scotch bonnet. they look like small versions of regular peppers instead of the usual longer shaped chili peppers. anyway, if you ever use them proceed with caution.

whoop-de-fucking-do

those little pepper shaped ones at the bottom are absolutely savage - i think they're used quite a lot in caribbean cooking. for god's sake, don't scratch your eyes (or your knackers) after handling one of those fuckers.

anyone else got a chili habit? i can't seem to eat anything these days without making it spicy.

Brazil. I enjoyed it
