oxf*rd shambles.

[Gordons Cumming]

Happy? Or am I too late?

[blueroyals]

Every match thread has to end with "sponsored by......." and then something relevant to the opposition

GC has broken every rule with a match thread

Good to see Carrico starting. Shame that HRK didn't make the bench. He always seems to up the tempo of the whole team when he comes on.

Starter for 10... what's the name of the squiggly thing underneath the second C in Carrico?

[Big Ern]

Squiggly

Can't attend the game today, so we might win!

Any stream links?

[Gordons Cumming]

We're now bottom so need a point at least.

QPR get a draw, so we have to at least match that to stay off the bottom.

It's looking uncomfortable with QPR getting 4 bonus points off the big boys. A couple of weeks ago I thought they were still nailed on for bottom. Now I'm not so sure. They've stepped up their game, now it's our turn. We need to see a performance and a result today.

Pretty much the team I expected McDermott to put out. I'd have made a couple of extra changes personally, because I'd be looking to try and give us (in my view) the best possible combination for better possession. Because more and better possession = more chance to do something with it and less pressure and less chance for the opposition to hurt you.

G'arn Carrico, show us what ya got.

In Valencian dialect they have the same letter, its pronounced as an S. Assuming its the same in Portuguese.

Ca-rri-so

roll the R's, the RRI (pronounced RREE) is the strongest syllable and the SO as if you were going to say sock without the ck

You can't continue to change the thread title. The interweb doesn't work like that.

Interesting about the sock without the ck idea...

Just watched the first couple of seconds of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eomAcP6oLG0

It's almost like the end of Carrico is pronounced like soup with out the p.

THOUGHTS?
