guys reports that his head has been attached in an IMMENSE 9 hr surgery and they're waiting to see if it 'takes'

Gonna need Jamie O'Hara back at this rate. Either that or take a chance on putting a Croatian in the middle of the park. Actually, that won't work either seeing as we have no other fit wide players.
― Matt DC, Monday, 1 March 2010 10:43 (sixteen years ago)
o'hara back, surely? would rather have him than jenas all other things equal anyway.

Tom Huddlestone has had 64 shots and scored once, the worst ratio in the top flight
― mizzell, Friday, 19 March 2010 16:20 (sixteen years ago)
but he takes all his shots first time from 30 yards on either foot. i'm giving him a free pass on that stat.

He's the new Tugay!

most of his shots are blocked

i'll forgive tom 63 glorious misses more than i'll allow robbie keane missing 4/5 sitters.
― DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:25 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah basically he'll score one amazing goal every season and that is. Tugay scored one ripper every season as well, usually against Spurs.
― Maraca Son Sistema (Matt DC), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:26 (sixteen years ago)
as i said upthread, he generally takes so long to position his body for a shot that someone manages to get in the way, although i don't know for the life of me why they'd choose to

lol I am winding up the aggro in this thread, in honour of Thudd's radge
Oh my at that goal of the month upthread - could make a perfectly respectable Premiership all-time top ten from that lot. Where was it hosted from though?
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 17 April 2010 19:41 (sixteen years ago)
Youtube, obv!
― maybe rabbits feel the need to play up their 'lynchian' qualities (acoleuthic), Saturday, 17 April 2010 19:41 (sixteen years ago)
he's not back fully fit as yet, but tbh he's handled the defensive aspects of both games this week brilliantly.
― just darraghmac tbh (darraghmac), Sunday, 18 April 2010 00:07 (sixteen years ago)
he's been great. i'm assuming that palacios will play against united, but who do you drop from the team that beat arsenal and chelsea?BAE, i guess?
― mizzell, Sunday, 18 April 2010 03:50 (sixteen years ago)
would like to see bale given license to destroy gary neville tbh
― maybe rabbits feel the need to play up their 'lynchian' qualities (acoleuthic), Sunday, 18 April 2010 06:54 (sixteen years ago)
Just watched Neville huffing and puffing vs City on MOTD - if Bale has anything close to Bellamy's pace Neville won't even bother chasing him, though he'll likely have a good go at slowing him down early on.
― i would just like to point out that i have been antimony on this thread (onimo), Sunday, 18 April 2010 10:42 (sixteen years ago)
slow him down with a good bumming? :)
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 18 April 2010 12:08 (sixteen years ago)
drop BAE, and there's no actual noticeable change in positioning from bale whether he's sent out at LB or LM imo
― just darraghmac tbh (darraghmac), Sunday, 18 April 2010 18:34 (sixteen years ago)
isn't that a problem defensively?
― mizzell, Sunday, 18 April 2010 19:10 (sixteen years ago)
in a week where we have deservedly beaten arsenal and chelsea i'm not sure i'm int he mood to acknowledge any problems.
BAE is a much-improved player, but if it's a choice between the team with him in it or Bale at LB and Palacios in DM, then it's an easy choice.
Thudd's performances in the centre with Modric this week- hardly have given Capello food for thought?
― just darraghmac tbh (darraghmac), Sunday, 18 April 2010 19:23 (sixteen years ago)
Capello will pick him in the squad but not play him IMO*, which would, I think, be fair
*barring injury/final group game
― maybe rabbits feel the need to play up their 'lynchian' qualities (acoleuthic), Sunday, 18 April 2010 22:24 (sixteen years ago)
what's fair is often wrong
plenty of time for thudd in the next two WC's i suppose
― just darraghmac tbh (darraghmac), Sunday, 18 April 2010 22:27 (sixteen years ago)
Hey guys, remember when Jenas made England squads?
tbf, if hargreaves can get a sub appearance or two then this shouldn't even be a question, sorry thudd lovers.
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 18 April 2010 23:28 (sixteen years ago)
um I seriously think dude deserves a squad place ahead of loads of people who've recently made England squads or even the first team
I await his total domination of Gareth Barry in the Fourth Place Decider with glee
― maybe rabbits feel the need to play up their 'lynchian' qualities (acoleuthic), Sunday, 18 April 2010 23:32 (sixteen years ago)
dude's done an Important Job for a High-Achieving Team - can't see how he can be left out really
― maybe rabbits feel the need to play up their 'lynchian' qualities (acoleuthic), Sunday, 18 April 2010 23:33 (sixteen years ago)
Started every game bar injuries/suspension- Jenas is a fading memory.
Hargreaves has improved hugely since never playing football anymore imo.
There's a place for Thudd in games against teams that will sit back and defend- a full-time DM won't be needed and won't have enough to contribute in attack.
But I doubt he'll go, Capello doesn't seem to fancy him.
― just darraghmac tbh (darraghmac), Monday, 19 April 2010 00:06 (sixteen years ago)
would this be the Capello who has given him a cap and IIRC said nice things about him
anyway, we'll see
― maybe rabbits feel the need to play up their 'lynchian' qualities (acoleuthic), Monday, 19 April 2010 00:14 (sixteen years ago)
means nothing- capello gave me a call up but i just sang three bars of a nation once again down the phone at him through a mouthful of brack
