Cantus Arcticus - Einojuhani Rautavaara

I know. It's sad isn't it. You are so right.

Super, you can bring me back some whelks.

A couple of things here. 1) If you say "this plant" then you are referring to a plant which is near to you, so it's hardly likely to be a million miles away. 2) If you have some plant and it's infested with the Fergy, you can get a spray for it.

Cripes, this is fun. :yawn:

In a nutshell.

If Milner hadn't passed back, if Friedel had got back to somewhere near his line (OK it would probably have gone in anyway)... we were on top of them FFS. And now we have a proper defence, a proper midfield and something very close to a proper attack. And Man Utd are struggling, in desperate trouble, a full 2 points below Chelsea. Some of them will be spluttering on their prawn sarnies screaming for Ferguson's head and threatening to become lifelong Blues. I can't see us allowing this to be a renaissance at Old Trafford. Away win.

Thanks for the cross: Gooooaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll. I'm just glad you didn't find anything homophobically insulting about my post (memories of the Portsmouth reactions thread). Happy stirring Darren! :wink:

Ah, so posting for effect then. Oh hang on. It's only posting for effect when a mod disagrees with it isn't it? ... creating points just to argue - say what you mean - not something that is intended to wind other people up. No Keyboard Warriors please.

Can you explain how you have come to that conclusion? :?

When I read that some people can't see that Petrov tends to tire late in games, I shake my head.

I think it's some of the posters having problems with Stan that is the problem. That's right. And when we win it's because some of the people on a message board say nice things and when we win it's because some people on a message board say horrid things.

Whats that got to do with anything? I'd of thought the same applies for the vast majority of the squad. Having said that an in the know poster on here as stated on a number of occasions that Mon and Petrov had a big falling out in the dressing room after the Stoke game towards the end of last season. Sorry. No need to be so defensive. I thought I was stating a fact! I stand corrected! You see, one or two have suggested that NRC upset MON once. Had a little contretemps I believe.

Well, it would seem that there are those who keep a close watch on Petrov for signs of him tiring after about, shall we say, an hour is it? And there are those who like Arsene Wenger see nothing of this. I guess we all see or (don't see) things differently.

And he never upsets MON either!

He hates him doesn't he!

Half-time in the 2nd Division match between Las Palmas and Villarreal*. 0-0. But just before half-time (courtesy of Google on-line translation): *EDIT Villarreal B

Good old Jimmy Milner. To think that some preferred Bentley the Benchwarmer.

Let's say that the bottom 17 teams in the Spanish League and half the teams in the CL are crap, not a patch on Barça, Real Madrid, Man Und etc. Does that make the Spanish League and the CL boring? Do people really want a diet of: EP: Chelsea v Arsenal, Chelsea v Man Utd, Arse v Man Utd... CL: Chelsea v Real Madrid, AC Milan v Barça, Inter v Man Utd... LL: Real Madrid v Barça, Barça v Real Madrid, Sevilla v Real Madrid... all the time? Are these all good matches? Are matches like Blackburn v Chelsea, Stoke v Hull, Espanyol v Valladolid, Rubin Kazan v Dynamo Kiev always boring?

While in the 2nd Division Betis won a re-arranged fixture and moved into 4th place. I mention this because only a fortnight ago the natives were getting so restless that there was aggro at a training session. Now they'll no doubt be telling the world "We are the people" louder than anyone else. Betis seem to have a hardcore of loafers and layabouts who go to every single training session and slag off the players every time everything isn't quite ticketyboo. They should be made to buy computers and form a site called BetisTalk instead.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, it's a piss take! And yet tonight the same thing is happening to followers of poor little... Chel$ki. The only one that matters is Man City v Arse apparently. Just as daft.

Oh how I loved the good old days when there was: a) no extra time until the end of the first replay. no question of any penalty shootouts - ever. c) an unlimited number of replays (I remember waiting for ages with mummy in Kings Heath (she, daddy and I were going to go to the Kingsway cinema together) because daddy was late - he had skived off work that afternoon to go to Villa Park and see the 4th replay of some Chelsea v Burnley Cup Tie. d) a serious number of postponements. e) the pools panel was sitting. Oh the joy of listening to "Winner of Walton and Hersham v Brighton and Hove Albion versus Winner of Scunthorpe and Lindsey United v Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic ... home win.·" The FA Cup draw used to be similar. You could sidle off and do a poo and not miss much.

At whom is that aimed? Well, it's a copy and paste of something you said about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Don't you recognise it?

You've got him there. He can't really say "In my opinion" can he? Forty-love.

I listened to the game on a radio link (not Jack) which was largely Pompey-orientated, so I found this particularly interesting: I assume you aren't saying that Downing played generally on the right but when he did... It seems as though when Downing is fully up and running we'll be giving the opposition a LOT more to think about. I look forward to seeing how this works. 2 big quarter finals last night but as far as TV (and BBC Sport) were concerned only one, Manure v Spurs. The other might as well have been Solihull Moors v Lye Town.
