I dunno what McCarthy see's in him. Cos I think he's shit.

Well seem y message from last week, it looked like a done and dusted deal that he was off to Hull, but that collapsed in the last moment.

One can only presume that it was a medical reason. Which leaves the Blades medical practices to task, if Hull found something that they didn't. But saying that, it'll be difficult to get injured sitting on the bench.
I'm kinda glad he's with Sheff Utd cos, Beckett's a Sheffield Wednesday fan through and through, and the arrogant twats from Hillsborough whom think they are still a big club were always on our mailing list saying he's off to Owlerton. Well bollocks to them.
erm, yes.......... Playing Altrincham in 4 years.

Going off topic yet again.

Sorry to hear of you giving up your modding duties and about playtime being over at work there. I'm sure whoever is coming into your office will be a David Brent/Gareth Cheeseman clone and do the thing the American way (aka half-assed.)

(Karma to the first person who knows who Cheesman is)

Changing gear yet again -

He was a tiger, wasn't he? Raarrgh! I remember that scene when he claps his hands together and says "A wank, I think".

We've already ascertained that you can't Karma me so I'll leave it for someone else.

Webbie

Give that man a sweet.

Ah-ha.

Now to be fair only one person was knifed to death after the game this time...

Ordinarily like most people outside Glasgow I couldn’t give a toss for the old firm game however I did manage to catch the goals in this one. I found it particularly interesting to note that old firm fans seem to lose all inhibitions during "exciting" moments like a sending off.

When one of the Celtic players was given his marching orders, the camera pans to the Rangers fans who are leaping around like they are on trampolines...one particular "lady" (about 45 years old, nhs specs, overweight...can be seen on any UK housing estate) is quite moved by the events as she gestures with 2 fingers, underarm 1 finger, back to the 2 fingers...in fact it looks like someone has told her they will give her 20 Bensons if she can fit in as many obscene gestures as she can in 4 seconds...

I saw that too, I wonder if she might consider taking legal action against Alan Thompson for any repetitive strain injury she suffered from all that gesticulating?

This is one of the things I've noticed from all the Premiership football I've watched over the last 18 months. When a player runs close to a stand full of opposing fans in celebration of a goal, the fans pretty much sit there blankly. In the SPL he would be subjected to a lot of swearing and gesturing. To be fair, someone did throw a jumper of some description at Pires when he ran behind the goal in the Tottenham-Arsenal game.

One from the schoolboy humour department:

Name a team of players that commentators would have problems with.
Footballers past and present that Finbar Saunders would "Fnar" over.

I'll get the ball rolling:

GK - Shaka Hislop (or of course - David Seaman)



AT - Paul Dickov

Thats all I've got so far. Need some defenders and midfield.

Deadmeat

DF - Berndt Haas?

elfman

Rugby player Danny Grewcock might be useful in defence.

DaveC

Center Half - Rafael Scheidt (remember him, Tony?)
Midfield - Dean Windass
Striker - Nwankwo Kanu

elfman

Stefan Kuntz - played for Germany in Euro96

ScousePete

Another contender for GK Norman Conquest the Aussie. (You have to go back to the 50's to find him, although I am assured he would love to make a comeback)

Milan Fukal, the Czech defender

Manager could be Wolfgang Wolf, although you might have a hard time dragging him away from his current club, VfL Wolfsburg

And I think that the team should be playing at Wankdorf Stadium current home of Young Boys of Berne FC

Deadmeat

Nicky Butt?

Webbie

Doh ! Of course.

I think we've got a team already.
Thought this one would last the rest of the day...

doctor scrumpy

Wankdorf Young Boys...Micheal Jackson's favourite team !
