Comment | Back to back defeats for listless Rangers — report
at 17:59:54
Well, that's reassuring! I looked at this forum last night and wondered if I'd been watching a different game to some of the other posters. But, from your report, it would seem that I was on the right lines with my observations.
Yes, it's hard for me to take my Niko hat off but, even when I removed the beanie & shook out my brunette curls, I still thought that he was one of your better performers and, at times, my heart bled for him. His football brain is such that some others aren't on his wavelength and miss the subtleties of his play - e.g. an edge-of-the-box back heel, which went completely ignored by Phillips/Hoilett (it was one of them - can't remember who). If that had happened in 2009/10, Bale/Modric/some other 'Spurs player of the time would have been stood behind KranjÄar, thinking: "Now, I know Niko loves a back heel, so I'll just hang around here, in case he plays one & puts me in on goal". Awh, if only Niko had some of Matt & Junior's pace - and if only they had some of his thought processes!!
Karl Henry, for an alleged 'hard man', looked like a complete pussy. Seemed lightweight & kept getting knocked off the ball. Not impressed with him. What happened to the nasty bas'tard, who used to get sent off every other week at Wolves?
I guess HR didn't have a lot of options up front with Charlie injured & neither AJ or Zamora having 90 minutes in them. A forward looks to be a necessity in this transfer window.
LFW forum was quick to slag off just about every midfielder who played, but the person I'd have been most angry with was Jailbird Joey Barton, whose petulance & stupidity got him sent off on Saturday, resulting in him missing last night's game. Not saying that he'd have made the difference, but he'd have been considerably better than some who were out there.
Jeez, it worries me that I even find myself concerned about your team, seeing as I am OHFTN. Still think you'll be there or thereabouts, in May, though! |

"Sh*tgibbon"??
Where do you get these words?
Most amusing read but ..... please do not confuse us Brummies (surprisingly bright but unfortunately-accented natives of Birmingham) with the YamYams (surprisingly dim and unintelligible species from the Black Country towns of Walsall, West Bromwich, etc).

I wonder how many of your larger"co-workers" read this piece & thought: "Does he mean ME?" |

Your Niko description is almost, but not quite as good as that of Dan King, who covered the match for The Sun on Sunday and came up with:
"KranjÄar could not have been a cooler presence, even if the Velvet Underground had been playing alongside him."
When I tweeted to congratulate him on his work, he expressed disappointment that the best part of his comedy line had been edited out - it should have said: "Niko could not have been .... etc. etc".
And if you're too young to even appreciate the comedy line, this should explain:

(I did suggest to Dan that he'd have probably got away with a 'Nico', seeing as most journos spell Mr K's name wrong anyway!! )

Some of that really made me laugh out loud. Moreover, I shall take the word 'f*ckpigs' and definitely use it again at some point in the future. Thanks! |

I like your match reports. They're so 'alive' and make the reader really feel like they were there, even if they weren't.
But it's 'thumps' down to your proof-reader!!
