but we've looked ok at times, and shocking at others. with all the new players we've bought hopefully they'll work out in time.
Glen Murray should be back by Christmas, then just watch the goals come!

as for Holloway, no way should he be sacked!


Yeah, you've not had any luck with decisions so far.

I think Holloway's ridden the storm now, at least in terms of his immediate future. Seems the media are now focussing on DiCanio. They can't go a week without targeting someone.

Meanwhile, getting sick of Allardyce setting up for a draw in every bloody game, regardless of who we're playing. If we survive this season, it'll be entirely down to our defence. I'm all for caution but, from an entertainment pov, watching West Ham under Allardyce is becoming pure torture. Watching them right now and it's embarrassing. If he's parking the bus in front of teams like Newcastle, Stoke, Southampton, what's he gonna use when we play the bigger teams?

No, but I'm suddenly intrigued.

Interesting couple of nights ahead for the CL

Bayern, Real, Juve, PSG, Man U, Man C, all play tonight, with
Barca, Atletico, Chelsea, Arsenal, Porto, Dortmund all playing tomorrow.

Hard to decide which ones I'll watch. All the games involving English sides look good but wouldn't mind seeing Bayern v Moscow and/or Barca v Ajax either.

i could probably but it's the middle of the workday and it's far away. for a more important date maybe. god damn fuck.

ANYWAY on a lark let me recommend you the leverkusen/man u game

1) it's an english team, so you have skin in the game

2) leverkusen is not bad at all, they have several players on the german squad-- i like kiessling and castro. unfortunately they lost schurrle to chelsea and carvajal to real madrid. but a good effective side, never boring.

demonrail666 09.17.2013 01:29 PM

The Man U game's getting reg tv coverage here so I'll probably go with that. I can see MU struggling and it'll be nice supporting a German team for a change.

demonrail666 09.17.2013 04:01 PM

Ended up watching Real annihilate Galatasaray. Ronaldo on fire!

!@#$%! 09.17.2013 04:33 PM

man u beat leverkusen 4-2! not what i would have dreamed of, fuck, but spectators got to see 6 goals.

ps- man u/ real madrid is going to be brutal i assume

demonrail666 09.17.2013 04:46 PM

Man U were apparently good tonight but I don't think they're ready to seriously contend for the trophy.

Ethiopia Black Lions play Nigeria in a qualifier play-off for their FIRST ever World Cup berth. It will be a significant challenge, but I like our chances!!

SonicBebs 09.18.2013 12:51 AM

I haven't kept up to date with African football but Nigeria are very strong. On paper at least
Good luck

Aye it was a good game. Rooney, apart from missing an open goal (It was shocking), was great. I watched Fellaini a fair bit during the game and he had a bad game. I dunno if it's because he's out of his depth or what but urgh.

demonrail666 09.18.2013 04:35 AM

It's hilarious. I listened to the post game programme on Talksport and the presenters spent the whole show trying to interpret Moyes' "I don't know", when he was asked if Rooney was happy.

I want Nigeria to do well, or whichever of the African nations gets Marc Park to do their tournament song.

Either way, tonight's game between Barca and Ajax is gonna be like ATP for the chin-stroking tactics heads

Yeah, but Nigeria suffers from the New York Knicks phenomenon, they think too highly of themselves and lack discipline on the pitch to maximize their talent. They always field a world-class team talent wise, but fail to capitalize. Ethiopia can't necessarily compete roster wise, but we can most definitely bring a determined game, and at this point, hang with anyone in Africa because simply put, we're hungrier and don't feel as entitled. Nigerian players get caught up in attitude problems, expectations of high perks, and fazed by the lights of their own domestic stardom. Just the kind of hubris that can allow for Black Lions to deliver a swift gut-check ;)
