I'm glad Habib managed to restrain himself from hitting the kid properly as much as I'd have liked to see it it's not worth loosing him for three games. Mind it was our throw in.

Well maybe if he started performing well he might get what he wants, at the minute he's nothing special at all.

I thought Enrique played quite well too except I noticed he wasn't covering his man at some important times there was a one where Emerton broke into the box where I thought Jose could have been tighter on him but luckily his pace saved us and he got across. Butt was awful as well mind not just Barton I'm seriously worried about our central midfield, I also thought Taylor was the weak link in defence especially that horrible clearance that fell to Santa Cruz in the box . I think we should play Zog in the middle because Duff does way more than Barton or Butt but I don't know who we can play alongside him there as they are both playing terrible, seeing Butt decide not to pass to an open Duff and instead turn straight into three Blackburn players on the edge of our box was embarrassing.

Just watched the Black knight on BBC I knew it was corny trash the whole time but still enjoyed it, Martin Lawrence is hilarious.

On the plus side Harper played well We won't get anything at Anfield so I'm just hoping we can get some points out of the games after that.

I feel we deserved at least a draw there and why didn't we get a free kick when roberts i think it was had charlie in practically a headlock ffs then they'd have never scored. Plus Bentley is a dirty player should have been off. Nicky Butt is a godawful player and what is going on with Barton he was good at City. Too many chances missed and shocking defending for the goal. Roll on liverpool

They are total and utter scum, the lad thought they were his mates as well .

His nickname was Bullet magnet also class that he said 'monging it' in an interview. I read about it on an army forum and the lads on there that have been over recently reckoned that he'd been on the front line practically the whole time, but a JTAC/FAC is a canny cushy role and it obviously decreases the chances of him getting shot, agreed about the whole of Afghanistan being dangerous I doubt even Bastion is completely safe. I'm also impressed by the media, what is a little annoying is the fact there was obviously a lot of reporters following him about while he was there they should have just left him alone.

Yeah the name was a terrible choice, the original motives were a good idea though and I think they've just been lost due to the high amount of people like the one in the first post claiming to be part of it.

Looking on the BBC video he's definately not just sitting in Bastion it's a good video actually, the media blackout was a good idea shame someone broke it that stopped the worry of Taliban increasing pressure in his area but I wonder what they would have done had he been killed. Hopefully he can put the case forward for better equipment (unless he hasn't noticed and has been getting all the good stuff), seems like a decent bloke on that video. By the way putting him with the Gurkhas was an odd choice he must stick out a bit. Did anyone hear that twat jon snow before on c4 btw? likening the media blackout to soviet/chinese censorship what a cock

Good for him doing what he wants to do, at least he's not wasting the countries money by training to become a pilot despite the fact he will never use any of that, very expensive, training like his brother. Disappointed for him that some nobs broke the news about him at least he got 10 weeks.

I wouldn't say Stevie has come any where near being like one of them nutjobs in anything he has said, he simply agrees with an article that doesn't want anything to do with Sharia law it doesn't even say all Muslims fuck off it is just saying anyone who wants Sharia law to find a country that has it and move there. It is a fair enough thing to say, fair enough the article may come from some Nationalist racist organisation but the actual content isn't racist at all, there are white Muslims too you know and they might fall under those wanting Sharia law. Why is it that if someone disagrees with something about Muslims recently they are seen as some white supremacist, I've read nothing in this thread that shows Stevie to be like that.

There really are some sick people out there.

100 games in 14 or so years fucking hell . Agreed about the article mind just more shite, normally it's 'Geordie hero' Taylor or Given I guess those two have been used too much time for longest serving player Harper to state the obvious. Why don't they stop telling us what they are going to do or what they need to do and just go and do it.

I agree, also iirc it was Woodgate that kept the ball in play 3/4 of the way up the pitch, backheeled it in and then a partizan player got the ball took it down the pitch and with only 3 defenders back they scored. Woodys fault the Bastard .

The way it is going it's starting to look like we'll need a whole new eleven these players are getting embarrassed every weekend yet still think they are great. We should start looking at some of the youth you never know they might come off and might be able to get a place in the team for next season, at least it would be less players to buy. I agree with Asprilla btw I don't see £50m being enough especially with all that new TV money coming in, I'm also starting to wonder about Ashley's commitment yes he cleared the debt but that simply made us more sell-able, I just hope if he wants to sell he does it soon so someone else can come in and give KK funds and if he doesn't want to sell then he actually backs his manager in the transfer market.

It's because they're going into a winning side with good team spirit imo. When things aren't going well you need the team to pull together, encourage one another and work as a unit, something that we've been desperately lacking and one thing that I expect Keegan to get right next season when he has his own side and a full pre-season to work with them. Yeah good point, that must be it. I think our players are completely detached from each other none of them look like they really bother with each other.

We should hoy them in anyway lets face it they cant do much worse than the mugs playing now.

Hugely thought of in Spain they were on about how Madrid or Barca were going to get him before we did, how come every big prospect like this comes here and never does anything whereas if they go to Man U or Arsenal they end up doing well

Horrible accident you can see Taylor going for the ball real shame this like Eduardo is a quality player one of the few Arsenal players that isn't a dirty cheating tosser. The break looks in a very awkward place I'm sure if you look close on that motd video you can see the white of the bone sticking out the sock Hope he recovers fully and it doesn't make him timid when the tackles are flying.

And people give Dwain Chambers stick for taking roids everyones on them

Rubbish idea, if it did work alot of people would be concentrating on not swearing and it would take alot of the passion out the game. I think it's fine if they are going to start booking players who abuse the referee but sending off for swearing is a bit far.

I'm waiting on the article whinging about Bobby saying we're bigger than Tottenham etc

Remember Goldie looking chain

Quality player he was still banging them in for Milan wasn't he?
