I just re read that and my god I'm a cunt. Not at all what I meant and very sorry. Must have skimmed over.

Douche bag move on my part and all I can do is apologise.


Bollocks.
It was dry joke anyway (although part about my grandfather is obviously true).
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Yeah that's the part I saw, was skimming on my way to work and saw you posting about missing a game and jumped in joking back.

Obviously when I properly read it later on I felt a bit shit.

Sorry about your grandad mate.

I'm assuming you took the original comment for what it was, so enjoy your time off, unless we lose and I'll see ya tomorrow :)

Why doesn't he just get goats? They're much easier to tend to. Take my advice and never look back. Also, goat's milk is digestable for people who are lactose intolerant. Do you know how many Finns are lactose intolerant? A lot it turns out. They're not made for this world.

Zabba looked like Zabba again yesterday.

Looks like the effects of summer partying/marriage are finally wearing off. Clichy starting to look more like himself too.

Augurs well for the 2nd half of the season.

With regard to organising a football team, to my mind it's a relatively easier task to get the defence sorted and for the side to play in a methodical and disciplined manner, than it is to create a free-flowing attacking style bursting with flair and goal scoring creativity.

Pellegrini seems to have quickly and adroitly addressed the attacking aspect with a veritable magician's wand.

However, in order to tighten up the defensive aspect, in might be necessary to make changes to our now developing system. On a personal level, I would hope that any such changes didn't impact adversely on the attacking aspect, for which it would seem we are now getting some (grudging ??) recognition and praise from the media.

I'd be happy enough if the unfortunate defensive mistakes which we've made this season could be eradicated but, if push were to come to shove, I'd accept us having a somewhat suspect defence, if only to ensure we retained the devastating attacking style which, if left unchecked, could go on to terrorise the rest of the League and win us the title.

If this means that we lose a few games and win a lot, then so be it.

I don't really get this typical thread.

I did to a certain extent when we lost a few away games on the trot.

But it gets resurrected when we have won one and drawn one in a week?

Wtf is typical about losing, winning and drawing away from home?

The whole concept is bollocks tbf.

He had a record points total at Real & has won several titles elsewhere.

Results can only be called typical if people disCount half of his career.

Of course it's bollox.

If typical is losing, winning and drawing then it'll be pretty hard to shake that tag.

Duh

Typical Pellegrini seems to be that we can't find any consistency. Couple of amazing performances followed by something horrible.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

"Several titles"?
