And of course there is the, "Damn, this cock isn't sucking itself. Better call Sigourney Weaver."

I'm with BOF on this one. I think Hutton is useless - except if we are looking to injure and opposing player - and am glad he isn't anywhere near starting for us. However, it does seem petty and spiteful to dump a senior pro in the reserves for no other reason than you plan on having someone else as first choice. On the other hand, I suppose it's a case of "Right, we haven't offloaded him so let's bang him in the stiffs for a few months and see if we can piss him off enough to bugger off in January". And football is a tough business. And it's sometimes been said we are "too nice". Maybe this is the start of a more hard-headed, ruthless approach, at least as far as the team is concerned.

Voted him my MOTM in the reactions thread, he was commanding today. The other thing I'm convinced of is that had we had Given trying to beat out that Cabaye free kick he wouldn't have reached it and we'd have ended up going home with **** all. Shit, Baby Brad nearly caught the **** thing but then he does have 3 inches of height and near 10 years of youth on Given.

He's either 6 ft 5" or 6 ft 3" Yeah, I've seen both figures for him so we don't know for sure, seemingly. Looking at that picture I would go for 6' 5" being closer to the mark, he looks very rangy.

there's not a player who does more running all over the pitch than Ireland. That's his biggest problem right now, he's a workhorse and it means he's in our half defending and tracking back far too often If anything he tries to do too bloody much Isn't that the very thing that prompted the remark about "the empty crisp bag blowing around" that has been attributed to McAllister? I took that to mean he hasn't the discipline to play where he is told and hasn't the brains to be effective when he goes off-piste.

I just noticed they had Sylvestre on the bench as well. Nah, couldn't be.

On the bench

Great. I'm that much more confident of our PL status next year now.

Just be grateful this thread - despite any vexatious stuff here - is no longer being spam saturated by the wannabe ITK twitter bollocks. It was **** relentless and desperate, attention-seeking shite. It was like watching the plain fat bird at a party getting louder and drunker as her attempts to score a **** for the night foundered on the rocks time and again. Then she gets sick on herself, falls over crying then gets sent home in a taxi and people sigh with relief.

I confidently predict two non-arrivals at Villa. Downing and Barton. The former is a pariah in B6, the latter a pariah everywhere.

I thought the same earlier myself then I had a vague recollection of Celtic fans coming on here a while ago saying that was how he did things.

It's only just occurred to me that if City fail to win we are bottom of the table. When was the last time we were bottom?

No one is making a scapegoat out of him. Merely pointing out he's **** useless is all.

From reading that it seems he is expecting some kind of payoff from the filth: "Zigic is deciding whether to come," he was quoted as saying by AS. "All that remains is to resolve the economic situation between him and Birmingham City and we have set a time limit for that to happen." I suppose his dilemma is do I hang around being shit in a team at the bottom of the Championship picking up 60k a week or do I go and be shit in Spain for much less money?

Nice goal

It just gets better, now down to 10 men

Just seen the highlights of the first half. We didn't have one that could be shown. NOT ONE! Nada, zip, **** all. **** disgraceful.

Well, I suppose we can hope that we get a thunderstorm of biblical proportions and the match gets called off.

Now I'm just watching for the lulz

Well that's now all over

Shit, CNZ handed a starting role again. I'm going to run a little sweep with myself to see what minute I find myself calling him a word removed for his stupidity. I'll likely do a second one to see how many times after that I say the same thing.

I'd love to see him doing a "motivational" pre-match team talk in the dressing room It would be like watching a cross between Eric Cantona and David Brent.

Personally I'm very impressed with his consistency, he really doesn't get enough credit for it. He can invariably be relied on to make absolutely the wrong choice regarding a run, a pass or a dribble attempt. On those rare occasions when he lets us down by making the right choice he soon makes up for it by **** it up completely. I'm sick of the sight of him in C&B. I want him gone equally as much as I want to see the back of Hutton, Warnock and Dunne. He spent an entire season being shite and is not going to come good. Don't give me any "He just needs to settle... he just needs to find his confidence... he gets played out of position... he doesn't have the talent around him..." **** bullshit. He is supposedly a pro footballer who moved less than 100 miles to another club and performed marginally better than George Weah's "cousin". I hope to Christ PL manages to offload him before we find him "Beyeing" us for the next few years. All I can say to him is "Don't Bogarde this joint, my friend."

Long-term this could be the marquee acquisition of the summer. I very much approve of this development.
