I like werner a lot but henry comes across as a gimp.
I just can't see how he can sort that missus of his out on a regular basis. I reckon that lass of his must have a box of tricks bigger than paul daniels in his hayday.
anyway fair play to the glenn roeder lookalike for saving us from financial ruin.Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back. Oscar Wilde

Originally posted by Exiled_red View PostI think that people are being overly harsh and thinking that we should have won more comfortably as it was a Championship side we were up against, but there are no easy cup finals and Cardiff were there on merit and it was the game of a lifetime for most of them.
Look at all our cup finals since 2000:
2001 League Cup vs Birmingham - won on penalties
2001 FA Cup vs Arsenal - turned around in last 10 mins
2001 UEFA Cup vs Alaves - won late in extra time
2003 League Cup vs Man Utd - won in normal time
2005 League Cup vs Chelsea - lost in extra time
2005 Champions League vs AC Milan - won on penalties
2006 FA Cup vs West Ham - won on penalties
2007 Champions League vs AC Milan - lost in normal time
2012 League Cup vs Cardiff - won on penalties
Of those 9 finals only 1 has been close to comfortable the Man Utd one in 2003 and we only got the second goal in that game 10 mins before the end. There were some good teams in there who struggled against teams that on paper they should beat, the situation plays a big part in this and some of our players struggled to deal with that. We need to get used to playing in big matches and that is something that (most of) this group of players haven't experienced before.
I could not dig, I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

The Gerrard-Adam partnership doesn't work, I was surprised Kenny went with it to be honest.Originally posted by BootRoom View PostWe we're the better team and won. The end. However the midfield is still a major concern; it doesn't support the attack consistently and doesn't protect the defence.
Both primarily want to attack but have either been told they also have defensive responsibilities and neither knows when to go or when to stay, so often we end up with either both attacking or neither attacking.
I suspect that Adam should be the one sitting deep most of the time, but for some reason I get the impression that Gerrard doesn't trust him to do it properly
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
