And a tedious 0-0 draw in which we have 137 shots, 1 on target and FF flaps and scares us on each of t heir 2 shots

In the second half of his press conference, the gaffa said that VVD would still not be in the squad this week.

It is tough to drop players who haven’t ballsed up etc but at the end of the day they are all well paid professionals so the manager ought to improve the side if he has the tools to do so. And I presume that Hoedt was deemed better than what we already had, otherwise we wouldn’t have forked out £15m-£17m for him. So in that respect I would get him in the team sooner rather than later.

And of course it isn’t just about making mistakes vs not making mistakes. It is also what these players do with the ball, what they offer at the other end from set pieces etc and also how their presence and communication effects the rest of the team.

VVD on the other hand, that is a different situation entirely so that little bitch can wait a bit longer.

If ever a video summed up why Shane Long doesn’t score many goals, watch this first shot…

Nice strikes from VVD, Bertrand and a free kick from JWP. All he needs to do now is do it in a game!

Why would they even put that Long shot in the compilation? Thats embarrassing for him. Then again, he does do it every week so its not a surprise.

Maybe he was pretty pleased with that effort?! Not often he hits the target to be fair.

And certainly no mention of inbreds!

Cellfone, what are you blathering on about?

34

You have a bee in your bonnet about inbreds, you’re not a gene too close to your cousin are you?

35

I had an Auntie Jean, but no cousin. You don’t recall calling the team a bunch of inbreds then?

36

Of course I do, and?

37

Barry can say what he likes about inbreds.

I believe being his own cousin(not to mention, his mother’s brother), makes him the site expert.

Back to football. What score do you think Barry? Just the score, I know your views on the team/management/supporters.

Hoedt in for yoshida and Tadic dropped.
