Disagree, I thought it was way too cheesy (not in an intentional way either). I really wanted to like it which made it doubly as disappointing too! It felt old fashioned, reminding me a lot of 80s Sat afternoon tv programs where the bad guys are BAD and the good guys are er...winners! ...and dont get me started on the dialogue...it made the TV blade series seem gritty!

You are a stone man if you did not shed a tear when Mufasa died in the Lion King!

Im not yet addicted to them so I wont touch scratch cards!

So is these apple things any good?

Id say job done in that half. If we come away with a point ill be happy enough!

Really? I assume you are talking about a one off game here but surely you would start your form players, but maybe im wrong. The rest of the time being able to successfully use your squad marks out the better managers.

Dave is a godsend for old Red Dwarf episodes! I have 0% expectation for the new series however!

Im not so sure its a hollow victory, as you say he had been dominated.

That bench looks strong, on paper anyway!

If we play well in front of the cameras sky may be tempted to ruin our sundays more often....a boring 1-0 win will do me fine!

A pikelet is finger shaped, a crumpet is round.

Shirley Kebab house takes some beating! (It will always be Vellis to me though)

Good to see Bisping winning again at the weekend, but he is seriously deluded if he thinks he will get anywhere near to Silva. If he wants a title he needs to move weight!

I think its Middlesbrough, whenever they score they start annoyingly joining in with the tune played over the tannoy.

Half your age plus 7 So 17 on 14 is not ok. Houston, we have a problem Great balls of fire!

Fantastic result! Sods law I missed this, feckin work :cry: How did we line up?

Im really looking forward to this game, Newcastle feels an age ago! Im quite confident about this game but i dont know why. I really cant understand why we are favourites.

Makouns jumper

The mental strength he showed to come back like that was impressive. I didnt think he had it in him! Congratulations!

Great game this. ...but Murrey doesnt stand a chance!

Even if he sees his future with us he would be mad to sign a new contract before his old one runs out!

How would that work? Pay less of your budget for a cheap defender who you know isn't going to play hence you don't lose any points; then you have a bigger budget to spend on better midfielders/strikers who will pick you up more points. Hutton is more expensive than players like Edna or Williams, who also aren't likely to play ... The thing is they are in the squad, and may play some part. Hutton wont.

If your 1st choice defender does not play your 1st substitute will replace him (usually a midfilder or striker), hence effectivly playing 343 or 352.

Really?? I have high hopes for him tbh.. Hopefully Lambert can develop him into a joe allen type player. Time will tell. Im not a fan of Paul Lambert in the slightest. I hope he manages to change my mind on what I think of him. I was dissapointed when he was made manager and I am disappointed in his decisions and tactics in the first two games and I was disappointed with his transfers. Im not sure packing a struggling team with kids is a bright idea and as things stand I still think Lambert will get less points than McLeish. Interesting. if he does get less than McLeish , which i seriously doubt btw , at least we will have been entertained along the way .. And you can't say that for whatever it was McLeish served up ...and he's not McLeish!

He will be picked so people can get extra midfielder/striker points.
