Their run of fixtures over the next three weeks will indicate their true potential - Chelsea on Monday, followed by City and Liverpool are a hard ask. However given the usual table-toppers inconsistent form so far coupled with Leicesters work-rate and never say die attitude, I really believe...
The prevalence of 'jobs for the boys' at both the bbc and sky in particular, and so having to suffer the tediously repetitive & stating the bleeding obvious contributions from 'Big Al', 'Savvo, Merse, et al... (praise be that at least Hansens' being shown the door).
Oh yes, and Sepp Blatter.
Jamie Redknapp's criminal misuse of the word 'literally' (I quote 'Michael Owen is literally a greyhound Ruud', 'the way Gerrards floated in that ball, he's literally given the defender a hair-cut'...?) and persistent knack of missing the point discussed by colleagues Souness and Carragher but...
Both Golden Axe and Revenge of Shinobi on the Mega Drive were a lot of fun, and I remember Italia 90 giving me a raging bonk on for all of a week until the realisation of how crap it really was sank in. Then a preference with PC first person shooters started off with Wolfenstein swiftly followed...
North stand. Generally a happy bunch. Except for angry man with vein throbbing on his sweating bald noggin who routinely accuses any opposition player with vaguest connection to Palace of being a 'fahkin cahhhnt' and eyeballs anyone who he thinks might not share his views.
It was a bad penalty and his run up didnt suggest he was confident, but I've seen far worse. Adebayor's piss poor 'effort' for Spurs against Basle last year for one?
While watching the opening day action at the Elephant & Castle in Lewes on Saturday, I was devastated when informed they stopped serving food at 3. Thankfully three packets of Monster Munch soaked up the booze and saved the day ahead of a family event later in the evening. Thankyou Monstar...
Apologies for veering more toward cliches rather than modern terminology, but...
Lawro observing that a player has 'if anything, hit it too well' when they've just cleared the cross bar instead of hitting the target
Players overusage of 'obviously' and 'week in, week out' during post match...
He's improved immeasurably since when he played under Slade at Withdean, when he was often played out of position at left back. Never looked comfortable on the ball, occasionally appeared clumsy and distracted, often the fall guy. It would be a pity to see him leave as he's among the most...
Good shout. Its right up there with Fade to Black and Unforgiven. They've become a bit of a cabaret act these days and Hetfield carries himself about like more of a motivational speaker than a frontman, but their live shows still wipe the floor with the majority of other hard rock/metal acts...
Its difficult not to feel disappointed with the whimpering defeat to Palace after we'd built up such momentum over the previous couple of months. In hindsight though, its all progess and I'd be dubious about our survival prospects in the Premiership, ignoring the financial windfall it would've...
Bloom is a shrewd bloke, I really hope that he'll have nothing to do with that twitchy crook. Think how far Albion have come under Bloom (alright, and Gus) and consider for a moment where Pompey are, and where QPR are headed.
Its an improvement on the current shirt. The litmus test will be next June - assuming we qualify, which we might not - and the sight of hundreds of lairy boozed up Darrens singing God save the Queen on Copacabana beach.
Somehow I cant see him and Bloom seeing eye to eye on taking the club forward. If Gus has supposedly had a tantrum over what amounts to a necessary balancing of the books, then Harry sure as hell wont be interested. And there arent many other managers around who get away with as much crap as he...
