Essentially we're dealing with half a billion pounds worth of mercenary scum who with all the advantages that brings are STILL struggling to put to bed the league. Compared to them we are like Cuba and we will fight like Cuba and the people and football will win today. Let loose the winged monkeys!!!

Very winnable. Who are this money grabbing band of fly by nights anyway?

Just waiting for the activation e mail.

Wenger crying.

3-3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Arsenal have been shit this game. Norwich just running out of puff.

Norwich can win this.

Stone cold pen. Disgrace.

Should Ba take it?

The matrix cannot hold.

Who should take the pen?

Jonas has a lot more strings to his bow however. I know where you're coming from as in a lot of games he spends a lot of time firefighting rather than being an attacking threat. Is that his fault though??

Think it was a good move to have a thread like this to give everyone a chance to register their thoughts.

Thread deraliling is an art.

On my conspiracy forum people get banned everyday but nobody notices (unless it's a old member) cause there are 4,000 members and hundreds of post everyday. The real issue here is that we honestly feel that we know each other quite well and therefore it is harder to take action. Just a thought.

My daughter is too intelligent to knowingly attract my wrath.

The answer to LM is to keep giving him timeouts if it is bothering people that much. That is the way to modify his behaviour and curb his style over a period of time without banning him. He never bothers me that much as I only really skim posts.

Prices for accommodation in EURO 2012 host-cities are stiff and deprive foreign fans of any desire to live in Ukraine during EURO 2012 tournament. Moreover, it’s a bad influence on the public image of the country, say the experts. The UEFA is also concern about the exorbitant prices for hotel rooms. In particular, Martin Kallen, chief operating officer, calls hotels’ owners to bring down the price: “Some proprietors charge immense rates. Personally, I want to ask them to consider this question properly and rationally.” Furthermore, Union’s authorities point out that only some Ukrainian hotels are very expensive, but in general, country have necessary amount of rooms to accommodate all fans. Also, according to the preliminary estimations, more than one million foreign aficionados will visit Ukraine during EURO 2012. UEFA’s functionaries addressed Ukrainian authorities with demand to tame the appetite of the local hotels’ owners. However, local officials say that appealed repeatedly to the proprietors’ consciousness but everything was in vain. So, now Ukraine’s authorities try to finds some legal ways to force them to reduce rates. “We tried what would be best and cancelled corporate tax for hotels for 10 years and look what we have now. I think we'll find right way to change this situation”, comment upon the Minister of Infrastructure, Boris Kolesnikov. The first step has been already made. Ukraine will open its sky for foreign airlines during EURO 2012 tournament so they will take advantage of both international and domestic flights. As a result it would be more convenient and cheap to fly directly for tournament matches instead of paying for accommodation in Ukrainian host-cities. “Low-cost airlines offer to fly from Europe to Ukraine for one match for $200. So, three matches will cost $600 and it’s cheaper than live here,” says Boris Kolesnikov." Some talk of hotels being forced to cut prices by the Govt.

Photograph: Ed Sykes/Action Images Roy Hodgson has been warned he faces an uphill struggle to make a success of the England job, with the former manager Fabio Capello questioning the timing of his appointment, while senior German figures cast doubt over his standing in the game. Hodgson has been left with little over a month to appoint his backroom staff, put together a squad, instal a new captain, make plans for Wayne Rooney's two-match suspension and sort out a long and extensive list of other issues, including the divisions created by the breakdown in relations between Rio Ferdinand and John Terry. Capello, who resigned in February after the FA went against his wishes by stripping Terry of the England captaincy, expressed misgivings about whether his successor will have enough time to repair the damage left by his own departure and create a team spirit to make England formidable opponents in Euro 2012. The Italian backed Hodgson's appointment but said it would be difficult for him to have an immediate impact."

Agreed. It's insanity what he sees as he strikes. Could do it in his sleep.

This is the fella he's closest to for me. Comfortable finishing with either foot and nice lazy hits with deceptive power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA5NfsryOW8&feature=related

Think he's a better finisher now btw.

For me he's scoring the kind of flair goals Batistuta did in his prime (quick strike from anywhere in and around the box) and there is a touch of Eto'o about his clinical eye as well (Eto'o scored a lot of one touch goals at Barca off diagonal runs, very much like the left foot finish across the keeper). I see him as instinctive. He 'feels' where the goal is where as most strikers need to visualise the strike, Cisse just 'feels it' - no need to think too much which is the sign of a big game player ie he will score regardless of the opp. More like Cole than Shearer if you want to go that route. But what he does have like Batistuta is 'X' factor - can score from anywhere. He seems to have improved since he came to the PL which makes it all the more amazing. Just enjoying it. The calmness is the key. Right now he is 'in the zone'. There will be little periods when he loses it however and then he'll need to feed of simpler chances.

Loved watching Santon roaming forward casually tonight. Has a turn of speed when needed as well.
