Badboy...I think TX has logged into your account

Would I be right in saying its a formation that was used by England many a time with Lampard somewhere in the diamond ? If so, that alone adds to the proof that its not ideal for him. I know one man doesnt make a team, but when its someone with the ability of Lampard you play to your teams strengths. Once we have Zhirkov and JC available then I think this formation would be more suitable, but right now I dont like it. Either way, CA isnt going to change his formation, so we may get used to it.

Couldnt agree more..... *fixes hair* :eyebrows:

I'm a bluenose too btw......

As much as I think Essien is a fantastic player, I dont think he's disciplined enough to hold that position. His natural instinct is to get forward and when I've seen him play there in the past he does occassionally wander and leave space where someone like Maka/Mikel are disciplined enough to hold the formation. Mikel did himself no favours today though. He done ok, but he wasnt his normal dominant self.

He commented after the game that it was a cross..... :541:

On paper that would be ideal, but I think to get the best out of Lampard you have to let him make his late runs into the box using a 4-4-2. When he's at the point of the diamond I feel you take something out of his game.

Welcome back.....dont be sheepish about getting stuck in

Watching the game today I noticed that I was witnessing the lesser spotted Drogba, last seen several seasons ago terrorising defences up and down the country. I know its only one game, but today he looked like he was completely focused. There wasnt any sign of his "balance deficiency" he's been plagued by in the past. It wasnt his most vintage of games, but on that performance alone I'm very optimistic about the season ahead. When he's on his game here are few who can touch him. Keep it up big man. :thumbsup:

We dominated from start to finish and deserved 3 points. Did we clear 30 attempts on target ?

Fucking typical that wee scruffy fucking soap dodging cunt scored. He showed what he's all about by going studs first in the first minute into Lampard thigh. He's an evil cunt. Drogbas free kcik was quality. Other than that, although we have dominated the play, the final ball has been awful. That will come eventually with more match practice. Today should be about getting 3 points on the board. We look like we can do more damage, wether we do or not is another thing.

I'm off to watch this...shall be back at half time. Break a leg Hunt

Did Stephen "Cunt" Hunt sign for Hull during the summer ?

The last 4 seasons we've won our opening game. I cant see anything different in this fixture. Hull ?-? Portsmouth 4-0 Birmingham 3-2 Citeh 3-0 Wigan 1-0 I'm going for a comfortable 3-0 win.

I'm sure the locals on here will be able to point you in the right direction to the best pubs and drug infested nightclubs

Have a great time mate :thumbsup: Are you going to be out partying? :woo:

I thought that one was quite funny, due to him being diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Celtic fans used to sing... Theres only two Andy Gorams

Stoch and Sinclair are gone too. Someone put up a list last season with names of who fell into which bracket reguarding homegrown players. It shouldnt be much different from now. Anyone fancy having a troll and finding it ?

May aswell put this in here since its topical.....

Maurice Edu (Rangers) "tweets" His page got hijacked by a few idiotic Celtic fans recently getting him to say things which could have potentially got him into alot of trouble. Obviously the papers picked up on it. He came out of it ok though as he was seen as being nieve and misled. This reminds me.....I saw something earlier today which was quite funny......Theres a thing in it about Lampard which was a bit below the belt. I'll post it up in the sports bar.

Aye, theres a full list of countries a few posts up.

What date is this being played ? Everyone on any forum I've been on is expecting a full scale riot Youtube will be interesting viewing
