Howay

Aye I don't think they helped matters since it give Norwich more time to plan and our lot got cold waiting. Full deserved by Norwich mind we're been fucking dreadful, no chance of stopping up if we lose.

Well that's that.

Aye between what we've seen against this lot and Sunderland I cant see us stopping up, two of the easiest games we had left (Villa match aside) and we've looked poor in both so I can't see how we're suddenly going to start performing against better sides.

What a save by Darlow, he's keeping us in the game the lad. I'm glad he's proving my worries about him wrong so far.

Anita is a complete fucking liability, first somehow unable to keep a ball in because he misread the speed it was rolling out and slowed down too much as he approached it and then leaves his man 8 yards clear in the box. He's fucking shite.

We're making them look like Barcelona, our lot can't touch the ball ffs and anytime a Norwich player receives the ball they're in 5 yard of space.

Aye I would, they can completely get fucked tbh. There was no reason for their behavior when we went down so I'm okay with not giving a fuck if they ended up in a right mess like Pompey.

Aye it will, I've not been impressed by the (albeit limited) times I've seen Darlow play so I think it dents any chance we had significantly especially as Elliott has been in good form.

I think the reason most give a fuck about staying up now is the prospect of Benitez being our manager, if we go down he's off and we'll end up with some old, washed up (or never was) British manager and repeat the process we've seen the last few year. If we stay up Benitez might actually stay (assuming Ashley doesn't piss him off) and we might actually see some good football / a cup run for the first time in years.

Odd lot, they were speaking as if we were completely written off anyway so why do they care about our keeper being hurt? Boring cunts.

So we are down to Darlow? Lowers the chance of us staying up even further ffs.

Milner named as captain for the game against Holland

In case anyone doubted otherwise good old Roy has made it clear: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35908204 "I have to repeat Wayne is our captain and he has captained the team extremely well in the past two years. "He took us through a qualifying campaign where we had a complete success with 10 wins out out 10. It doesn't please me too much that it is suggested now that the moment he is injured and doesn't play he gets jettisoned in some way. He doesn't deserve that." Aye spot on Roy he doesn't deserve dropped, the two lads with 19 Premier League goals each deserve to wait behind him as he inevitably fails at another International tournament. He also makes it seem like Rooney was a major reason for England qualifying from that shit group, when really he scored a few penalties. I'm sure we'd have qualified fine with Kane or whoever else up front tbh.

Aye at least that way we will get to watch decent performances.

The young lads played well, Dier and Alli were cracking (Alii's late miss aside). Kane and Vardy showed they can work together which is good. I just have no confidence in Hodgson to learn much from this, he even said that Dier is in Wilshere's shadow when it comes to selection before the game. Vardy should have played from the start, it was a friendly and surely the main thing that we could hope to learn is if Vardy and Kane were able to play together but instead he had Vardy on the bench and Welbeck or Lallana filling the spot. I also feel he's going to try and shoehorn Rooney into the side no matter what. Henderson and Cahill looked pedestrian again. I'd like to see him play Barkley over Henderson for the next friendly and start Vardy over either Lallana or Welbeck, a midfield 3 of Barkley, Alli and Dier would be positive and dynamic which would make a change from the normal plodding displays we normally see there. Again though I'm yet to be convinced that any of this matters and I'm sure in Hodgsons mind Rooney is an automatic starter, he will take Wilshere as long as he is going to be able to play at some point in the Tournament and Vardy will start on the bench.

Everyone makes mistakes - I’ve just made more than others. But now I am ready to settle down. “Look at Joey Barton - he has reinvented himself very well. That is someone showing you it can actually happen. “I’ve got a nice aura about me. People might think ‘Oh he knows gangs’, but it’s far from that. “If I made it back into the Premier League it would be a great story - you could write a book on it afterwards.” :lol: This lad is a total fucking idiot, it's a big IF that he would have made it even if he wasn't such a complete piece of shit especially with a record of 17 goals in 117 games with none of the 17 goals coming in the Premier League. He had a level of talent for sure but it was far from the type that you saw and thought he'd definitely make it at the top level, it would have took a lot of hard work and commitment which he's incapable of. Bringing Barton into the discussion is stupid as Barton had already proven himself as a PL level player before he made a lot of his bigger mistakes, that makes teams more lenient with it than if you're just constantly fucking up and doing nowt on the pitch. Ryder will be gutted that his rival Chris Waugh has quite clearly been given the go-ahead by Ranger to write his Biography.

Ode to a Paedo

:lol:

Is the animal porn stuff for real? This bloke is an utter fucking deviant man it's a good job he's locked up, the chances of some filthy scumbag like this committing some other sexual crime must be pretty high (even if it's botting some sheep). The mackems would probably defend it "Well we all know that lamb wasn't some plain dolly... it was clearly a sexy lamb compared to the others and knew what it was getting into".

Utterly bizarre post, why are they continuing to defend him? "breaking the letter of the law" IS breaking the law so the first sentence totally destroys whatever bullshit defence he's trying to make up later, "well all he did was break the law so he shouldn't go to jail for that should he?" brilliant thinking that. I'm still very unsure about what he means by the girl not being a "plain Jane 15 year old", sounds like another ridiculous victim blaming type of defence. If he was 15 and a top actress who was 28/29 began flirting and offering to meet him places what would he have done? These laws are in place to defend against predatory behavior on people defined by law as not being old enough to make these decisions, trying to then say "well she made the decision to do it" makes no sense as the law is there to defend someone who in the laws eyes is not old enough to make the decision. They can scream on about how saying it's 15 is arbitrary but then we can go on about that forever, it is what it is, the same way the drinking age is 18, you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes etc etc, they need to draw a line somewhere and he knew he was crossing that line so they should all just knock this on the head now.

The 53% of people that voted 'yes' will no doubt be the first ones screaming at him when he runs the ball out for the 5th time in a row. He's shite and so is Marveaux, stop it.

Marveaux is the exact opposite of what we want, the bloke literally moves to get out of the way of oncoming players rather than make an attempt to tackle them (the worst one was against Sunderland a couple of seasons back) he's shite and so is Obertan.

I think they completely are aye, he was immediately saying this backs up what he has been saying all along about borders and then went on a rant about how Brussels is one of the most dangerous places in the world.
