Well worth the $20 I paid to see it. Blackburn must be well disappointed, having dominated so much for long periods. Spurs played some lovely stuff on occasion, but other times couldn't even seem to get the ball, let alone keep it. A lucky 3 points but I'll take 'em where we can get 'em.

Would be lovely, but we've got quite a tricky run in and I'm not counting poultry yet...
No time for heartache, no time to run and hide,
no time for breaking down, no time to cry.

Hah, Cascarino. I played a full 90min game with him (and Steve Bruce) when training at Gillingham's Priestfield ground. We were young and they were very nice, I played a one-two with Bruce which was the highlight of my non-existant football career.
"Naturally, the book dwells on the days when Forest were felling the likes of Liverpool in the European Cup and making annual trips to Wembley - but what history of any other previously successful club wouldn't? It is at least a far cry from the usual ups and downs stories peddled at clubs with a patchy history, focussing strongly on the ups, and a very far cry from the trials going on at the City Ground these days.
Taylor's writing remains familiarly vibrant and makes for a thoroughly enjoyable read that will quickly warm the hearts of Forest fans and others alike. The attitudes of these Forest legends remove you to a bygone era, when a first-team place was a privilege and not a job. It is an education in Forest's finest moments which, by no coincidence, are the finest moments in the careers of some of English football's best players."

Been saying that for while mate.Morro has had his fair share of bedding in time, and although lately he looks like he's getting stuck in more he still for me is no-where near a goal threat, and never likely to be while he's at LFC. Cisse has his moments but thats just it, moments, also he seems to need constant reasurance that he's gonna get games then spits his dummy when he's not involved, to much of a one man team IMO.
Who we get instead i don't know, but i would like to see more of a RF & Crouch partnership for a while as i think this could be a good pairing.

Didn't the current squad win the championship last season? McCarthy had no chance at sunderland and neither will his replacement. They may well come back up again in a couple of seasons but no money will be made available for decent signings and they will go staight back down.
Its the board not the manager thats needs looking at, i feel sorry for there fans.They sell out week in week out, have a strong away support. But there board members seem to not have a care in the world of wanting to invest to much money in strengthening the squad with decent players.
Just come up, sell a couple of players in the Premiership, get there Sky money, then go back down again, and so on
McCarthy came up with a squad which was given no money what so ever to get into the Premiership, what fecking idiot would want to go and manage a club with no aspirations....has Shearer got his badges yet

But, as the Sky commentary team said at half time, they didn't take any of the many chances they had in the first half.
It was cruel for sure, but the game doesn't end until the final whistle. Rooneys cross-field pass was awesome, and if the unluck Wigan defender had not put the ball in his own net, Van Nistlerooy would have done.
Just watching the Barcelona v Chelsea game now. I missed the start so could someone please explain to me why Ronaldinho is playing with a handicap that bars him from kicking the ball forward?
I love the bit in the Burns book, where he tries to explain why 'cheating' is culturally alien to the Argentine mindset.
