golden era darraghmac vendettas

i remember one of those kids, assume he's a PE teacher somewhere now

He comes across well in interviews, blandly friendly, like a young oil exec on the weekend

I saw him giving a tour of his mansion on a kids' version of football focus (may have been one of LG's?). He had a great big, dark office with a massive desk: "this is where I download my music"

is jenas an epl player any more

circa 2002 he was an upper midtable player

circa 2009 probably lowermid

id think he could hack it at prospective 16th place finisher hull city

i can't even recall how or what he did for whom last year, did he get a run out at qpr? was his villa injury the season before? ijdk

float like a butterfly sting like a butterfly

butterdish morelike

not really tho, he stayed alarmingly rawboned for a lad that never played tbf

thinner old paul robinson was on SSN bemoaning how britain tells it's shit goalies that they're shit which he feels they oughtn't do really it doesnt help

joe hart was getting the soapy titwank treatment on tv over the weekend

apparently if the goalkeeper is only called into action because a defender made a stupid mistake, he doesn't really have any obligation to try to save the resulting shot

you can see that at least the blame is shared round, but as i note upthread when you have a gk that yr defence can't trust it does awful things to em too

the nation's commentariat are under the misapprehension that paul robinson was a good goalkeeper whose confidence was shattered rather than a fairly crappy player whose career regressed to the mean eventually

i sometimes wonder if paul robinson didnt turn me into the football fan i am today

Fulham 1 Swansea 2: Shelvey hands strugglers fourth defeat in a row, as final whistle is greeted with chorus of 'Jol out'

he's not very good

heard scotty parker scored an audacious chip

Nah he tried to cunt it nononsensically outta the stadium but all that would escape his hips was the feeble puff shown

Never did write that 2005 girl

tho the experience gained has me advising treeship to let her go on other threads, we were all 2005 once or something idk

Last night I called 999 and declared war on Northumbria police before shooting an officer on the West End A69 roundabout in his T5. Sitting there waiting to bully someone. Probably a single mum who couldn't afford her car tax.

Rang again and told them they're gonna pay for what they've done to me and Sam. I went straight but they couldn't let it go.

The public need not fear me but the police should as I won't stop till I'm dead.

On the night 3/7/10 I shot Chris Brown and Samantha Stobbart, after an argument earlier that evening, and here I will make all the facts clear so there is no misunderstanding.

They took it all from me, kids, freedom, house, then Sam and Chanel. Where could I go from there? Obviously I have issues but I was pushed. I never beat my kids. I could simply admit to anything now cos it doesn't matter.

I'm a killer and a maniac but I ain't no coward.

I was terrified of losing Sam, as I knew I'd lose the plot and that, and not wanted to do so stopped me from ever beating her and anyone saying otherwise can go on a lie detector.
Now I've realised Sam is really hurt I am gutted. I never meant that.

Moat then threatens to target hospital staff if they fail to save his ex-girlfriend.

Those doctors better save her or I'll hit that hospital. I still love her despite everything but my head is a mess right now and I know I'm too far gone to make much sense of it.

I guess I've finally lost it. I'm not on the run, I will keep killing police until I am dead.

They've hunted me for years, now it's my turn.

I am very sorry about Sam and wish I hadn't shot at her. Just make sure she stays alive.

I never cheated on her, I wish she hadn't on me. She pulled the trigger by doing so just as much as me.

not likely to rly at this stage, it is gone, gone and I shall hide my face amid a crowd of stars

jenas surprisingly not too awful talking shit on tv

it helps that he has a friendly demeanour and is sort of photogenic in that jamie redknapp way rather than the sort of grunting neanderthal former utility players who constitute the majority of that profession

the cabbie on the way back had talksport on (surprisingly tolerable when it's just rapidfire transfer news) and then whatever bbc piece of shit in which jermaine jenas was explaining how adebayor was not difficult or lazy but just mistreated by arrogant avb, and sure to be a hit in the aaaaarrrghs' dressing room when he appears to save them from relegation

look I won't be one bit surprised he scores ten league goals but everyone knows he's a dead weight at spurs.

I'd be only half surprised jenas doesnt tog out for arry tween now and may tbh

Jenas unaware of Adebayor's pre-Spurs career maybe

Jermain's a good lad is jermain

Trippier signed, surely the end for Walker/Naughton, just need to sort out left-back now

No other forward in English football history, perhaps, has ever looked as though he grew up dreaming of being a left-back as Rooney.

Harsh on the fat lad

still didnt write that 2005 girl

cant believe i never posted itt about the time i was strolling the south quays at temple bar and passed an italian restaurant window and who was in there alone at a table and it fuckin heavin with grub enough for six but fatty robinson how i didnt go and check behind the cistern for a fuciin revolver ill never know

if i may make a case for the ahem defence

trippier has been limited but ok til this season, with a brilliant right foot and a neat line in getting his cross in from most angles and situations

his attacking form has certainly dipped but his defensive performance is only slightly beneath what we're used to (not far off walker at his best, rly)

given there's no better alternative at the club its kind of on poch not to have set out the required baseline rules and i was more than half serious when i suggested that one of our two defensive leaders (more likely one per full back) should be kicking arse on the pitch regarding offside trap and getting caught wrong side of his man (the two likeliest and most damaging sins)

add this to the pretty enormous workload poch puts on his fullbacks (central defensive players get away with murder imo) and outside of the heat of the game i can take a measured view that trippier looks awful in a system that has continued to ensure he gets hammered with his own flaws every week.

the fucking cunt

brilliant

this is not an incorrect position, taking into account that the alternatives were walker and trippier

walker was improved by poch removing him from certain *situations*, walker (like most players post first england cap) has never improved in himself tactically or mentally. he is still the likeliest weak link of any team in which he plays.

naughton is well let me say rather that kyle walker-peters is an upgrade

the great unmentioned is aurier, whose capacity for reckless fuckups dwarves auriers, whose positional awareness makes a baresi of trippier, whose inconsistency of delivery in attack makes sissoko look (even more) like xavi

trippier's damage to this team is something poch can contain but not remove, and hes already done it once with a stupider player

i can take a measured view that trippier looks awful in a system that has continued to ensure he gets hammered with his own flaws every week.

trippier is bad at his main job and has gotten bad at the secondary bit that used to make him being bad at his man job acceptable i hope he dies

Just sayin', like.

deems vaudeville

theyre both valid angles and i can take both as required

trippier has no inherent limiter on not playing the opposition onside or being the wrong side of his man. nothing and nobody makes him cross the ball as stupidly and poorly as he did last night and many times this season his lazy execution or planning of a pass has cost us or almost cost us. hes a professional footballer and absurdly easy on himself about not cleaning up his own sloppiness. no pass from me for that.

all of these things have been observable from day one this season and no alternative has been realistically available, save for aurier or kwp stepping up (neither has consistently done so so as to be an actual replacement). we have tried each and have played sissoko either there or in an alternate role or in a niche babysitting role at times. we are now playing a young centre half there at times. its safe to say a problem is recognised.

being unwilling to relax the demands on the position in order to perhaps safeguard or refocus on the positional/defensive area of the game seems not to be a valid consideration- blind spot from the manager here imo but the squad is in bits and what can you do. so in knowing the cunt will fuck us again and again, youd allow that a manager might attempt whatever is in his power to ameliorate or mitigate, so poch out an all

ask me about serge aurier, go on

kepa is the new paul robinson, but cost 60 times more

this is like the 20th time i've clicked on this thread forgetting it's on ILF
