Congratulations Jack that's the first line-up ever announced on the CSR that didn't have Joe in it. I know you said you would have Joe in it but most people just pop him in anyway ignoring all the available evidence regarding the coach's preferences.

He's not as good as Cech who is the best in the world but he has been very good for a long time. He is also outstanding in internationals and has kept Ireland alive on countless occasions.

My favourite Freak Brothers spread had Phineas take a fit of paranoia and when he looked at his brothers they appeared to be wearing cop uniforms. Phineas freaked out, barelled down the stairs, and onto the street whereupon a cop car pulled up and beat the crap out of him. Phineas staggered back upstairs, into the room, and said to his brothers "I'm not nearly as paranoid as I thought I was".

A disaster given that we were ahead twice, having scored 2 excellent goals, playing crap opposition, in a ground where 70 percent of the fans were Irish. Staunton gave the initiative to the opposition with his substitutions but we've noone to get on the ball and take responsibility. I can't bring myself to hope we lose games but would still like Staunton gone. He hasn't learnt a thing. Richard Dunne was tremendous though. He's looking every bit as good as JT these days and he doesn't burst out crying every 5 miniutes.

Super Cali Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious

You've got it there Nibs, the reason the Lampard is not, and may never be, a legend. He's as bland as the blandest bland thing in the history of blandness ever. There's no spark to the guy at all.

Why then??? The coach is too nice.* *copyright Just

I was hoping you'd ask me why.

I'll do it as soon as I can. Should be up before Cashley anyhow.

Can I do Jimmy "The Legend" Hasselbaink now?

Juventus won't win anything this season.

Terrible to hear of Boulderbollocks' passing. A very funny guy and there was always a warmth in his posts. Rest in Peace.

Me.

I knew we'd get Schalke.

I thought American Beauty was hilarious. Surely it wasn't inadvertent.

Great player and also posessed of one the best comb-overs of our time.

On TV Curb is brilliant as was The Day Today and Brass Eye. In the cinema I actally quite liked 40-Year-Old Virgin recently.

It's been screamingly obvious for years that Joe suits a Football Club better than an Athletics Club. He will continually have to prove himself to the coach as the coach fundamentally distrusts him. I have to say it a cause of constant amusement to me how the Mourinho fans who are also Joe fans refuse to acknowledge this. Continually naming Joe in their line-ups, when Joe is injured stating that when Joe is back everyting will be alright, while ignoring the fact that when he is fit he doesn't play. Joe doesn't fit Mourinho's eye. It would be better for him, and for football in general because he's a joy to watch, if he moved on.

It compares very favourably Loz in that it is better than both of those. Watch it.

A nasty post. No place for that around here.

Suicide, tragically.

It's like reading Kenn without the lightness of touch.

Fantastic stuff. Life is wonderful!

It might be your first post but you've captured the mood of the forum pretty quickly. Some guy actually named a team of Joes for this game!

Nice one Gem. Touch of class as ever from you.
