Seen two threads from the weekend

[Luis Anaconda]

One just below with people thinking we are going to win the league


The other people bitching and moaning about how **** we were on Saturday http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/xmashehe1.gif

Whither reality, awimb?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Rich]

Just ask Chelsea :cloud9:

[Luis Anaconda]

More chance of Chelsea winning it

[Luis Anaconda]

[PSRB]

*who will clearly have a blinder this weekend

[Luis Anaconda]

[Rich]

Boruc was due to have an operation which has now been put on hold until the summer. They had to recall a kid that's on loan at Weymouth (doesn't even get into the Weymouth team) just in case Boruc wasn't fit :-(

[Brentwood]

Got to fancy us to pick up 13 points from that lot

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

We're really not playing awfully well at the moment.

[Luis Anaconda]

and try to dribble round Giroud again

[Luis Anaconda]

[Rich]

Arsenal. Watch us f**k Villa out the window.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

The others look s**terer and Ramsey was f**king awful and made and scored a goal.

How can we not win it when things like that happen?

[Pat Vegas]

he'll find Anelka style form and win us the league after Christmas.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Seriously, I can't remember watching a player with better control of his body weight. His ability to stop and turn, or turn and stop, or just turn, all from the sprint, is spellbinding.

[Rich]

[Luis Anaconda]

and the rest of them collapse like a pack of cards

[Pokster]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No one else comes close in your lifetime.

[PSRB]

but somehow managed to score, set up one and produce a lovely piece of skill......not quite as lovely as Ozil's flick and turn though

[Pokster]

[Rich]

[Pat Vegas]

I came home and it kept doing it,

Then after about 30 mins I went back out to have a look and the squeak has gone?

Is it time to buy a new car? :-(

Get down into the footwell and try to remove the carpet and trim from around the pedal box; on a Fiat it may be visible anyway. Try a squirt of WD40 on the pedal hinge and any linkages you can see.

If the squeak is coming from the clutch itself rather than the pedal, you've probably got pressure plate issues and you're in for a bit of a bill. Places like Kwik-Fit do clutches pretty cheaply, I think.

It's far more likely just to be a dry pedal linkage though.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Oh, and WES, which makes me doubt myself a bit

[Luis Anaconda]

[Pat Vegas]

I got to take it for the MOT shortly so I will ask the nice man at the garage to look at it.

[Luis Anaconda]

Oh bugger


Only saw the highlights but he seemed to be at the heart of everything we did going forward, involved in the first goal, set up the second, scored the third, plus got into a lot of other good positions. Finishing could have been better but If that is **** :shrug:

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

they were even worse. Still, as the saying goes, play badly and win ya-de-ya.

On the Brightside we get to drool over Mesut :love:

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That's sure to make him a better player.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

Leicester and we are haning on with horrendous losses to injury. Recover our players and we walk this.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Did you see the weather, man? :yikes:

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

He was truly poor. Slowed the attack, lost possession and the less said about his finishing the better. He even tried to miss that last goal. Three yards out he hit it into the floor.
Still, he can only get better......

[PSRB]

he misplaced just about every pass

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'Ramsey was highlighted for praise by Ian Wright on Match of the Day but, in truth, his display was mixed.

There was the lovely assist for the goal by Giroud at the right end, plus his own late finish, but there were a couple of misses and some heavy touches and loose passes. It was only Ramsey’s second start since a five week lay-off with hamstring trouble and fitness-wise he remains, in his own words, “a bit short”.'

Fair?

[Luis Anaconda]

Quite the opposite

[Red N White Army]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

I agree it will not help, but since when have football fans ever thought that way? It does not help him that he is now in the middle at the same time that Coquelin is injured. Flamini does try but is not at the same level. It leaves too much space through the middle and Ramsey does not have the pace to cover gaps so ends up being bypassed a lot of the time.

[PSRB]

although the signs were there 2nd half of last season

[PSRB]

or I just happened to get a decent picture for the 10 passes he misplaced

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Luis Anaconda]

Rakitic, whom I guess most people would agree had a pretty good year - and they compared very favourably. Not saying stats prove everything but some of the stick he gets just makes no sense to me

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Many times when we had periods of possession the ball was laid forward to him and he then either took an eternity to control and move or played it back when nobody on him. Not dangerous, not impacting on possession but allowing Sunderland to regroup, which they did very well. 5 defenders with 4 in front needed quick movement. That is not his strength. Running through onto passes by Urzil or Santi is his strength. Yes he made the goal but a lot of his approach play was cumbersome.

Look, I would love to see him play well, we desperately need him now as we have months without the first choice pair but remember there is a reason Wenger played him wide and not in the middle. Cazorla and Coquelin are far better than him

[Luis Anaconda]

http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/xmashehe1.gif Turned out to be quite fun. Watching the last 15 mins of Bayern's collapse, followed by Chelsea Bournemouth and Valencia Barca - it was quite a good day of football

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

I fear the worst though. Then again, I always do

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

"Faaaahkin' Talbot!"

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Him, not you.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

As I was saying to LA, a lot of the time the ball came to him he took 2 or 3 touches then laid it back or wide.

I really hope he makes it but I have seen nothing to make me think he will be a top class player, but I hope I am wrong. I would like to see what it feels like :-)

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

grumpy WEST upper thank you. Anyway, I would prefer it if they stopped moaning about Ramsey, it gets so loud it occasionally wakes me up. He could become our new Trevor Ross :cloud9:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

cab drivers, jews, those sorts of people.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

You have a wonderful life you *******

[PSRB]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

and the man next but one wears a silk scarf

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[Red N White Army]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

A winner in the FA cup semi as well, I recall?

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

I feel people are trying to do the same to me.

[Red N White Army]

Although I had a decent stream, I also had 2 kids to entertain. Mesut also suffered from the howls of derision when he dared misplace the odd pass!

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Not in a nice way though :-(

[Red N White Army]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I can't say I'm surprised.
