That was bloody awful.

most epl teams hate football, it is tolerated by them at best as a means to an end

While Beckenbauer played in a defensive role, McLeish still believes that Heskey is showing skills with the ball that mimic the former superstar.

“We now know what Emile can do, he can play in any position,’’ McLeish said.

“I could even play him at the back without any fears. We played him at centre-back last week and he was spraying the ball about the whole pitch as if I was watching Franz Beckenbauer.

“Emile is a brilliant, all-round player, he understands the game and we need him in the squad. It’s not just about 11 players.’’

Does it reflect badly on us that we couldn't muster even one in-time post on the boxing day live match, which just happens to feature none of the big clubs? I think in this case it probably doesn't.

whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent

"hard fought match at the britannia"

"tough encounter at the britannia"
9 results (0.21 seconds)

"fortress britannia"
about 29,700 results (0.14 seconds)

They're not all about Stoke but most are. Inevitably the #1 hit is Nult.

i watched it whenever my fm game was loading

it was enough, quite enough

I'm a Villa supporter and couldn't even bring myself to watch it. Reading reports I was right to stay the hell away.

well tbh it was par for the course for a stoke fan, but a long way from the heady days of MON

you'd never see a martin o'neill team kick it long to heskey

what did MON use Heskey for?

what does it take for a man to change?

do we have a book on how often gimlet eyed mouthbreather shearer says 'and that's what they done all day'

wd rather watch Steven Seagal than Stoke all year long

idk

steven seagal vs stoke, def

Everybody should look for the first goal in the Dunfermline match yesterday to see the spectacle of a keeper punching the ball into his own net from a corner.

tsk, perpetuating stereotypes

two up top watch: motson dismayed at lack of chances despite both teams playing 4-4-2.

'there's absolutely nothing wrong with the way liverpool are playing'

imagine if dembele could shoot. he'd be some player.

^^^^^ it's one of those things that needs saying but i mean everyone knows it like

tidy finish from gervinho but i was all ready to yell at him for squandering it. glad, in a way, that they don't look too concerned with rvi breaking that stupid record.

He didn't score but that move from RVP where he suddenly doesn't go around the defender, but overtakes him on the inside and shoots was brilliant.

there was a hennessy bottle full of piss on the street earlier today

try telling that to the wolverhampton goalkeeper - he has been 'VS' today

I don't think you could say the ref is having a great game.

oh god i suppose mccarthy's safe for another month now

that was an AND THATS WHAT THEY DONE ALL DAY game

ALBEIT THEY HAD A MAN SENT OFF, HARSHLY IN MY VIEW

didn't see the game, was moving in to new place and buying homeware in Asda :(

what a result brian

nv :(

sandbox needs a blue saturday/tuesday/etc thread

Fletcher starting to look like he deserves a better team behind him, but he's just as likely to pick up some niggly injury that sidelines him for 2 months

the fletcher goal was rly well taken, inzaghi-ish

really been looking forward to Swansea-QPR, good match thus far as well

i keep waiting for proper ilx to come back but once i have internet set up in my new place i might start a new "I Am Pooter" thread :D

also steven fucking hunt gets an assist for his badly skewed shot

Hunt's been good for us tbf, Jarv gets all the plaudits when he has his 1 good game in 20 but Hunt has worked hard and tried to make things happen when most of the rest of them have been wondering around like bored shop assistants

came pretty close to going to this match, sounded like a good one. girl with the dragon tattoo was good though.

she's come on leaps and bounds

lol

I find it strange that A. Faurlín has played some 200 league matches in Argentina and England, almost all of them below the top flight, he looks excellent to me.

a lot of ppl seem to think faurlin is pretty good, could be the next charlie adam if some epl machers fancy throwing £7m or so to big tony f

if this whole round is just an excuse to give Utd two points

☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭

same lineup as v chelsea by the look of it

does redknapp ever bother using all the squad players he wants so much

pienaar hasnt played a single epl game this season

defoe must be devastated that modric is the new LIW MAN in redknapps heart

and again Gio doesn't even make the bench :(
