Souness isn't sophisticated enough to be a Bond villian. The only man worthy of that role in the Premiership is Mourinho. He's got that cool, dismissive and unwavering self-belief. Being foreign helps as well.

 

It wasn't a bad game on Sunday, but for a team that are supposed to be "back", ManYoo weren't very impressive. It took a(nother) dodgy penalty for the game to go their way.

What a rubbish waste of time game that was. Rooney looked pretty out of it at some points like he was going to explode or something. A bit strange. What a waste of time and energy. I just become less and less interested in internationals.

Did you hear the "monkey chants" every time Ashley Cole or Wright Philips got the ball? \:\(

 

As you said a complete waste of time.

 

And Rooney - he's seems ever more likely to be a sure case of self-destruct in the not to distant future.

I decided that I needed to choose team so that I could have 10 minutes chat with the guys every now and then. Over a lot of beers I chose the Palace. Can't remember why. My only reason I can recall was that I wanted an underdog without any tosser stars in the lineup. An honest footy team, that's what I wanted. Not so sure about those colours though.

Crystal Palace!? Of all the teams in London you choose Crystal Palace!? confused.gif

 

Surely if you wanted a team with NO stars choose Barnet, Millwall, Leyton Orient....Tottenham ;\)

 

Ha ha only kidding, Palace do win the prize for the ugliest manager though...Iain Dowie, permanently chewing a lemon.

 

As for the chants (which is the real reson I decided to log on today) it was an absolute disgrace especially when you consider the "Galatico" status that Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo have at Real.

Playing Newcastle at the Palace this weekend. Should be good.

 

Like I said, lay of the Palace!! mad.gif We drew with ManU in 1990 or so, FA final. It went to a rematch, but we lost. Plus we came 3rd in our 1st year in the tables... and that was back when the pool was bigger. 22 teams rather than todays diminished league.

 

Go Palace.

So you drew with United hey? Our hearts weren't in that match obviously.

 

I bet your PM'ing MrWiggles in the run up to the Newcastle game hey (he being a barcode supporter and all)

Seeing as we held Arsenal at home, I think we will have a good chance against an off-form Newcastle. Mr Wriggles knows that.

 

I don't want anyone else making fun of Crystal Palace. I chose them as they are a clean team, honest players, proud history and a very nice sounding name... Crystal Palace. Plus there is no Hampstead United, so I went south of the river for my team. No way I could support Arsenal, who could support a team with a rude word in their name. And Chelsea just reminded me of Bill Clinton, plus I went to the worst nightclub in the world directly under the Chelsea football ground (it was called Purple, it sucked a left nut big time).

They are indeed a great bunch of lads. \:\)

 

We will have to keep more of an eye on them to keep up with you DB.

 

You're right about Arse-nal though, how could anyone support a team with such a name. Even the manager is called Arse Wenger. Very strange. It's a conspiracy.
