i was gonna pull him up on that but thought he'd know better.

was always parker on the right and irwin on the left from my childhood days. bruce and pallister in the middle.

[pink_triangle]

exactly. what makes england so special? he scored bucket loads in spain and italy. and in the world cup obviously.

[ampersand]

Peter odemwinge finds scoring a lot easier in the premiership, so i have to conclude that the russian league is the best in the world!

[pink_triangle]

eh? how did anything i said result in that one?

[ampersand]

I was agreeing with you that its ridiculous to say a patient can or cant score in the premeirship based on how well they or their countrymen have done in different leagues.

[j...rox]

aah. right you are. it's not the best way in general either.

any examples of succeed at a good level in england but failed in scotland? i'm sure there are some but my minds gone blank.

Obinna's first was lucky in that the goalkeeping was awful. Not sure why either of the other WHU goals were lucky?

Rob Green's f**k up was unlucky IMO - ball took a massive bobble - unsurprising considering the poor (comparitively) state of the pitch.

I agree we weren't brilliant - unsurprising really, the league table is a clue! - and Blackpool were poor. Maybe a result of a poor performance from Adam? Other than the effort from the short pie eater, Green wasn't troubled all night. Thought Blackpool huffed and puffed second half with little creativity and WHU were the much more likely team to score on the break - Piquionne's solo effort being a prime example - bar a last ditch tackle it'd been one of the goals of the season.

Was surprised btw to see the new stands still a long way from being ready.

Thought the atmosphere was decent despite the annoying drum.

[ampersand]

Arguably Tugay, he was amazingly good at Rovers. Charlie Adam another example and then Robbie Keane. Not really failing in any case but performing better in England.

Rangers, Rangers and Celtic examples.

exactly. what makes england so special?

it's not 'special', but it is different. The Prem is played at a faster pace than other leagues, and goal scorers who have success in other leagues don't tend to have similar success in the Prem if they're lacking in pace, while the pacier players are able to maintain their scoring at a similar level.

and who cares that suarez hadn't trained? kenny deuchar signed for us before noon and then completed his hat trick at about 20 past 9 that same day!

Unless you're of the opinion that training doesn't improve how a player plays, then it does make a difference if a player hasn't trained with his team mates.

Man Shitty's Jo says different.

[ampersand]

but more talking strikers who've succeeded in england and failed in scotland. not just performed better in england.

[The Nal]

Irwin mainly played left back at United.

[TheGayTent]

Hoofball beats football again

[worm]

All 3 goals from set pieces, 2 of which offside, 1 of which involving a further foul. Having said that and from a SAFC perspective, what the f**k was bean head doing playing Mensah? Never play Mensah unless there is no one else. Play the third choice keeper before you play Mensah in a defensive position.

Massive pressure now as we have Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City to look forward to in the upcoming games.

just watching the newcastle game, arsenal are tearing them apart, a few fans walking out already

[TheGayTent]

Gordon didn't cover himself in glory either.

I'd like Everton and Blackburn to score again.

[worm]

Gordon didn't cover himself in glory either.

[TheGayTent]

No, he seemed to be too busy covering himself in Stoke players.

[modey]

Totally different game now at Newcastle, they are all over arsenal and just had a good goal ruled out for offside, the way the match is going I wouldn't put it past them to pull it back

[TheGayTent]

Goals galore today.
