Gemmill

How about you show some respect to the prostitute population of East Anglia, muthafucka! EDIT! Muthafuckasssss now. I'm appalled!

What a loser you are, Renton!

Surely if you were a defender reading that, you would go out of your way to clatter the little twat the next time you played him. I can't understand how he hasn't had harsher treatment tbh. He sets out to make full backs look foolish (for me he goes beyond the odd shimmy or whatever, and actually takes the piss) and yet he very rarely gets the Andy Griffin - ball, man, the lot - treatment from anyone when he's flying down the wing. Him and Robben would both be on my hitlist if I was a footballer.

Shut it Ewan.

You either love it or hate it like. Or in the case of you and Gemmill, pretend to love it when we're winning. I was all for hating it again then they went and made it interesting this morning. Teetering on hatred again now that they've lost too early wickets though.

I don't even know what that means, cuckoo boy!

Bell was out to a no-ball apparently. But then McGrath was caught off one that hit him on the shoulder.

England 36 for 1. Cook oot.

On here once. Pre-piss-up attendance. I think it contained the caveat that someone else had said it. Around about the time Trainspotting got its cinema release would be my guess. He could pass for McGregor's slightly camp, overweight and undertalented big brother I suppose. Brogues McGee, you fucking tit! Oy, fuck off, this is supposed to be another abuse Gemmill thread! Seriously, I don't know how Alex remembers so much, I have no recollection of saying I look like Ewan McGregor, or even that somebody else said it. I suspect it's being taken completely out of context. IIRC, it was in a thread where people were asked to say who they looked like. Did a search and that was in a thread entitled do you look like your avatar. Now, obviously feel free to take the piss, but that really is what my colleague said when he started here about 6 months ago, and no, I don't agree unfortunately. I remember now though because at the time it really freaked me out, as it was such a wierd thing to say it really made me paranoid that he had sussed my user name on this board and was aware that I was a complete loafer. Mind, he's chinese, so all us white people probably look the same. They all look like Bruce Li or Chun Li to me as well. And Alex, kudos for the elephant memory you complete kernt! It would've freaked me out more to discover you had some random Chineey wandering round your house. I could have sworn you said you worked from home?? Not now Kato!

You know that show where they put parents in a room and show them how their kids would age if they carried on eating like pigs? Renton looks like Ewan McGregor would look on that show if his parents had been grossly over-feeding him. I suspect they would have wept at what they saw on the big screen as well.

He does have a thing for taking his top off in the Trent and calling every one "big boy".

Cheers. Has he actually said that about Trainspotting?

Aussies all out for 244.

Has anyone else ever had so much abuse in their birthday thread, I wonder?

Not really whinging is it. Just pointing out that we'd held out well only for a scuffed shot to fall perfectly to someone for them to knock in. I thought the same thing myself when it happened. 13 first teamers out is incredible. Especially with the Christmas programme of games coming up, any more injuries and we'll have to try and pull a Boro and just not turn up for games (still one of the funniest things I've ever heard of in professional sport).

5 wickets for Panesar now.

How gay does that look?

Very unpleasant thread title.

Panesar's taken two in a couple of overs now, second and third wickets of the day. Makes the decision not to play him in the first two tests look utterly moronic really.

Aye we couldn't have asked for a better match to follow this one really. Hopefully a couple of faces back to fitness and we can turn them over on Saturday.

Wouldn't have expected anything better, but it's certainly not a good result. Can't see how any defeat is, especially one in which we lose yet another player. Good to see our young defenders playing so well in recent weeks, so that's a bright point I guess. Aye a defeat is a defeat. It could have been worse like, but anyone expecting anything other than a beating was kidding themself tbh. But then when it gets to 70-odd minutes you start to think you can hold out. Should know better by now tbh. I'm more arsed about N'Zogbia's knee than the scoreline.

I'd love a free hit on Arjen Robben. I'd definitely make the most of it.

Let's not fucking fall apart now please.

Balls.
