I saw the first two sets and a bit, then went out to get dinner. Wish I had stuck around to watch it.

At least that's not too biased a summary.........

C'mon, the Cones Hotline was an inspired and inspiring piece of work and demonstrates the pinnacle of right wing thinking. Whereas Boris just shows what the left can do if they really put their minds to it.

Should be a good final.

Wonder what Chuka Umunna has been up to? Must be pretty saucy.

Good stuff, fair play to Tiger.

by McLaren Fri 15 May 2015, 2:41 pm

So tiger suggests talking to a dog, and boasts about being better than the other kids. I am sure that will be of great comfort to the kid with the retardation.

BB kings death was a bit of shock to me, mainly because I had assumed he was already dead.

by super_realist Fri 15 May 2015, 2:53 pm

I thought he was too Mac.

by puligny Fri 15 May 2015, 5:18 pm

Did you have your Ben Es and your BBs mixed up?

by westisbest Fri 15 May 2015, 7:38 pm

Thats what I thought.

Speaking of Ben E King, Stand By Me is a classic.

Meant to ask did you guys from Edinburgh read about the incident at Carricknowe?

Boy hits his shot into woods between 2nd, 3Rd, 4th holes to find a boy lay down with a machete. He had sliced open his belly.

Crikey, I used to live in a house near to Carricknowe. Did he play the ball where it lay?

Nay

I hadn't heard about that. The course is a bit dull but not sure harakiri is in order.

Alan Hutton has today secured his place as the worst footballer I have EVER seen!

by mystiroakey Sat 16 May 2015, 7:49 pm

Zahas impact ruined the Scouse party. A www what a shame

Heard he was pretty poor.

Had some ok games this season, but not that good a player.

Just dont let caledonian craig read this, he will tell you to come back when you know something about football Wink

Shocking to concede 6 against Saints. At least we are safe, now to finish off with a win against Burnley, then a small matter of a trip to Wembley.

by McLaren Sun 17 May 2015, 10:06 pm

Can Hutton really be worse than Glen Johnson?

by super_realist Mon 18 May 2015, 9:40 am

not as bad as Michael Carrick

by McLaren Mon 18 May 2015, 9:51 am

I haven't had the privilege of watching many Villa games but it seems hard to believe that another EPL player could be as bad as Johnson.

by super_realist Mon 18 May 2015, 9:57 am

Joey Barton is pretty bad.

by pedro Mon 18 May 2015, 10:44 am

Speaking of. Who do you think is the most overrated player in the EPL?

by McLaren Mon 18 May 2015, 10:48 am

Pedro, that's easy.

Henderson. It is not clear to me that he would stand out even in the championship.

by super_realist Mon 18 May 2015, 10:53 am

Most over-rated? Tricky. Raheem Sterling seems terribly over-rated to me.
Not sure he's the most over-rated but he's certainly over-rated.

by pedro Mon 18 May 2015, 10:54 am

Maybe mac.
But for sure this is a title LFC would have a good shot at. Plenty of candidates.

by Davie Mon 18 May 2015, 11:05 am

Phil Jones

The man has mastered tackling with his head. Overrated? I don't think so.

by westisbest Mon 18 May 2015, 11:09 am

Hutton is pretty poor tbh. Had a couple of good games, but overall, poor.

He's certainly not afraid to put a good old fasioned hard tackle in, which is what I like to see, as the game is to soft these days.

Although Alan could work on his timing.

by pedro Mon 18 May 2015, 11:32 am

You can be a good player and still be overrated. (look under 'Beckham').

But Sterling is a good shout.

by super_realist Mon 18 May 2015, 11:38 am

there are certainly a lot of over-rated teams. Liverpool take that crown in England. Been living in the past for 30 years.

by McLaren Mon 18 May 2015, 11:41 am

Pedro

There is good but not all time great overrated like Beckham, but just plain bad and made out to be half decent like Henderson.

I thought we were having a debate about the later type of player?

He isn't too bad you know. Gertting stronger on the ball- passing faster with more accuracy- keeping things ticking along . He is coming along- I would bite your hand of for him at palace. He is exactly the player that we need. CM's are in very short supply

by Davie Mon 18 May 2015, 11:57 am

Yes there is a difference. Gerrard is massively overrated IMO - that's not to say he's a BAD player, just not as good as the media adulation suggests

by McLaren Mon 18 May 2015, 12:02 pm

mysti

Surely James McArthur is better than Henderson?

by mystiroakey Mon 18 May 2015, 12:03 pm

nah - not even close- we do not have a CM in Hendo's class- Jedi is our best midfielder but he is basically just a 5th defender that cant pass.

great in a defending format- but palace cant play through the middle and require players to get our wide men on the ball as quick as possible- the format we played when Zaha came on is the only format we can play to success. we do not have the quality of midfield passers to play even like a swansea or west ham.

Mcarthur is good at getting in peoples faces and trying to mix things up- but we bought much to try and provide some middle of the park competency. He is certainly not good enough either.

bannan and williamson(on our books) are the best we have in those roles but are too lightweight and not strong enough to keep on the ball- but they can pass.

by McLaren Mon 18 May 2015, 12:10 pm

Mysti

As I pointed out you must have a CM in Hendersons class, as Hendersons class is p155 poor.

by mystiroakey Mon 18 May 2015, 12:15 pm

Mac we seriously do not.

I dont think you watch enough football if you think that- As i said i would bite your hand of for him as every palace fan would

by mystiroakey Mon 18 May 2015, 12:21 pm

Most overrated player in the PL ?

tough question really but i suppose Tim Krul(who i hear palace maybe going for !!)

A goalkeeper that can look world class 1 in 20 and then fluffs the simplest of saves. Yet so many rate him

by beninho Mon 18 May 2015, 12:35 pm

What are we basing overated on? Jordan Henderson is a good premier league midfielder, I do not think anyone is claiming him to be the next Zidane or Pele, so who is rating him so highly anyway?

Gerrard has slipped over recent years, but during his peak he was a very good player for Liverpool. He is a Liverpool legend in games and performaces. He is not overated.

Andy Carroll at 35million then 18million is overated.
Angel Di Maria is vastly overated in comparison to his cost to performances.
Mangala is overated at Man City.

Raheem Sterling is overated by the media, but that boy has plenty of potential. He could be great.

Oakey, I thought Speroni was pretty well thought of at Palace? Is he leaving or just too old now?

by mystiroakey Mon 18 May 2015, 1:05 pm

i dont know- we love him- but he is getting on- and Hennessy played the last game - I was assuming(from the rumor mill) Hennessy was on the way out and we were going to go for a new keeper and keep speroni as back up as he is getting on. But maybe Hennessy will become our new number 1 instead

by super_realist Mon 18 May 2015, 1:12 pm

I remember him at Dundee years ago.
