Just discovered this thread. I started following the Cincinnati Bengals back in the mid eighties when American Football appeared on Channel 4 for the somewhat ridiculous reason that their helmets were rather impressive.

Aside from the heady days of Boomer Esiason and Ickey Woods (anyone remember the Ickey Shuffle?) we have been shit since losing the Superbowl final in 1988.

They have made the play offs this year so maybe things are on the up.

I'm an optimist; I think we'll score. However, we will still lose 3-1.

January is key but what damage has been done in the last 3 games? We are likely to lose again on Tuesday and nobody worth their salt will want to come here unless we are going to pay them handsomely.

Looking forward to Swansea. Maybe we might concede less than three or even score.

Ole'd at home to Wigan. Oh dear.

**** OFF

Game over. Oh ****.

A corner! Yay!

The players are so scared in possession, they can't wait to get rid of the ball.

The amount of space they are having down the left is ridiculous.

It really upsets me that 3-4 yrs ago we were well ahead of where spurs are, they were fisting around the bottom of the table with Ramos in charge whilst we were flying high. What the **** has happened?

Well **** my old boots. Does anyone think they wont score again either?

Finally caught up with motd. Great display.

Good quote from shearer about Benteke: "the best performance I have seen from a striker this season"

The man is a beast.

SGC, what about your take on Derrick Williams? I can't recall one person mentioning him ever before Saturday.

Utterly gash performance, very Mcleish like. However I expected us to lose due to the wax face factor so I'll take a point.

If we go behind its all over.

Derrick Williams.?! Delphi?! Hmmmmm

Take lichaj off. His moustache is making my eyes bleed.

I've decided to watch without the sound. It makes me less angry.

Derry is toilet. This could work well for us.

We have to score again, I can't see us not conceding another.

How does Moses make a cup of tea?

Hebrews it.

Why oh why has Qatada been released?

Only in this country would a man billed 'Osama Bin-Laden's right hand man in Europe' be released and allowed to walk the streets, albeit with some stringent conditions.

Does anyone think France, for example, would have released him? He would have been deported immediately. Maybe I'm being a bit Daily Mail here but things like this really piss me off, the Rest of the World must be thinking WTF.

I knocked at my neighbours door today.

I said, "I'm sorry to tell you this but I've just ran your son over down the road."

"No, please!" he preached dropping to his knees, looking to the sky. "Why... Oh why?"

"Because he called me a fat word removed yesterday," I replied.

This has got 1-1 written all over it. We should be two up.
