Re: Leicester v Middlesborough

O'Niells quip was quite acerbic, wasn't it?

MON's quip acidity rating : 5 out of 10

Pontus's quip stupidity rating: 10 out of 10


Football is a sport; football is not an entertainment.

Sport is about winners and losers; not about looking good.

Seems Pontus didn't enjoy the task at all. I was a little surprised to hear this.

Yes, I remember that. Pontus was completely professional though, and did the job to perfection.

Exactly what I've been saying for years.

Who cares if teams just 'lump the ball upfield' or 'set out to defend' or 'kill the game' or 'shut up shop' or whatever silly phrase people might want to come out with? The scoreline is the only thing that counts.

Me too, but the fact that it's wrong doesn't surprise in the slightest.

I fear any mid-to late 90's 'Boro player doing us harm. Especially Gianluca Festa and Phil Stamp.

Doriva. I was lucky enough to see his only goal in English football.

Re: Leicester v Middlesborough

I remember someone posting an interview with Kaamark on here before where he said he didnt like O'Neill's man management style and basically called Robbie Savage a bit thick. Always seemed kind of weird, was he not one of those who always did the "intelligent football" who reads philosophy slant like Cantona?

Excellent. I liked Martin's reply.

It is the job of defenders to make things difficult for attackers. In the 1960s there was a saying "Technique is doing it on the training ground; skill is doing it with Norman Hunter's boot up your arse."
Defenders like Eddie Clamp of Wolves and Jimmy Scouler of Newscastle got away with sheer thuggery and still failed to stop Stanley Matthews and Bobby Charlton from entertaining. Juninho had it easy by comparison.

Splendid. I can get on now.

Little centre mid?

Alan Boksic scored probably the best goal I've ever seen live against us at Filbo in the 2000/2001 season, ran from inside his own half before hitting a curling chip with the inside of his foot over Tim Flowers.

Not a bad idea.

Definitely.

Don't think I've ever seen us score 82 goals in 3 league games before.
