Ok, RoyalBlue has made a bid of 100/0 Al-Habsi, whilst Esteban is offering 50/50. Would either of you gentlemen consider agreeing at 75/25?

Al-Woopsi




Edit....damn you BonBoh!!

we can share that one - different spelling!

[Esteban]

Al-Habsi should have made it absolutely clear that it was his ball, kicking Hector into the stand in the process if that was necessary!

Every time he played against us he produced howlers (even though they didn't always lead to goals) so why the hell did Clarke, no doubt encouraged by chats with his mate Beasant, sign him?!

And when he didn't, Hector should take charge and clear it. No communication, Hector is captain, he should have dealt it. Just as bad as each other.

No, in that situation it is always down to the keeper to make the call. There should have been no need for Hector to do anything but get out of the effing way when Ali The Clown screamed at him.

I agree in the first instance. But Al-Habsi didn't do anything and Hector nearly tackled him. Before it got to that point, Hector should clear it. Ferdinand or McShane wouldn't have made that mistake.

[CountryRoyal]

Am I right in thinking Al Habsi is a bit sh*t?

You'd have thought he'd want to use this as an opportunity to show everyone he isn't completely shit.... Same with hector.

Poor all round.

Absolutely. Al-Habsi most culpable.

Agree, but good keepers are screaming at their team mates telling them what to do, no matter how experienced those team mates are.

In homage to ASLEF I will go for that compromise solution!

Sounds like Hrk is doing enough to keep his place for Saturday !!!!

[sandman]

Football. Genius.

[St. Brynjar]

Tell you what, Blackman is oxf*rd shit.

[Millsy]

"Nick Blackman... a wonderful solo goal".

Am I going insane?

[BonBoh]

Blackman!

[loyalroyaldaz]

This sounds grim.
Some of these players think they are better than than really are imho.
Worst offenders, Blackman, HRK and Hector.
That said we should be doing much better with what is a very good squad.
We just need a win or two and i think we could be off and running.


Lol. As im typing Blackman scores and gives our fans the ears !!

We've actually scored in open play and within 90 minutes!

Unbelievable.

Well it wasn't going to be a oxf*rd team goal was it!
