Pires is a ponce silly boy.
If I was to draw up a list of really stupid things not to do as they may result in my death or permanent injury, somewhere between the top and the bottom would be, ‘have a pop at Joe Jordan, or at very least one of his mates while Joe is standing close by’. Here’s some almost ropey footage of the incident…. HERE
Otherwise it was a nerve jangling affair with Jermain Defoe being entered in the case file of clips that prove referees need video technology to aid them in their task. And the BAFTA for Getting An Arm Around The Ear Then Clutching Your Eyes Whilst Shouting , ‘I Am Blinded, Dec!’ goes to…
Van der Vaart is a blessing. We often talk about attitude and commitment of players. When I mean talk, I mean question of course. Raphael’s apparent devotion to duty is a joy to behold. His intelligence and talents on the field are just amazing and in a time of badge kissing mercenaries he really is different gravy.
We are a side that spends long periods of time waiting patiently for a Messiah to come along and just occasionally …we seem to get one.
Just noticed that Crouch is 4th in the Prem League assists table with 7.
And this is the perfect game for Crouch to start with VDV.
Interesting as well is that bassong and corluka were both fit for the villa game, but harry has not moved kaboul to right back…
Is Hutton starting to make that position his own again?
If we had a fit King and Billy G playing would that move Kaboul to right back and leave Hutton, Bassong, Charlie and Dawson on the bench?
Fair enough we always seem to have injuries at the moment, but as someone mentioned above, do we need a recognized consistent best centre back partnership (even if it means settling Gomes, not just the whole team?)
Who knows these days, its a modern game…
SL, Crouch will def start today IMHO as marker for Carroll at corners and set pieces.
A word for the forgotten man too; get fit quick Thudd; we will need your fresh legs for the CL & PL assault
Yep Crouch and VDV today.
They have linked up well together and VDV has scored off six Crouch assists this season already.
Pav goes missing too often when he starts. Give Pav the super sub role to come on when tired legs leave the space he needs to play.
A chance to see Andy Carroll close up today who looks just what we are missing.
Harry Harry sign him up !!
