Michael Owen cannot be out-dulled.


"Well, if someone else was duller, then he wouldn't be the most dull because the other person would be more dull"
Michael Owen (probably)

I raise you an Andy Townsend.

Poor Crouchie needs to be subbed ?

I bet Moura is pleased Jose is in. Glad he's finally getting to start 2 games in a row ,in the same position with the same players around him.
That never happened under Poch and people slammed him for being inconsistent. Surprising that

So so so true. I feel sorry for the way he was treated over the last 18 months. Mostly played out of position, and never really given a long run of games to start. In fact I'd be curious to find out what was the longest streak of games he started in under Poch. 'Cos my non-fact based supposition on Moura has always been that he needs a run of five or six in a row to truly find his rhythm. There's no doubting his quality. But most of the time he's been played this season he's been cautious. And his first touch is a crapshoot. But I think the latter comes from being rusty, not being in a rhythm. Let's see of Jose gives him a long run of games. If it turns out after nine or ten on the trot that he still can't sort out his first touch, or is proving to be a liability, then fine... start someone else. But with a player with his speed and natural skills, it's worth investing time as the rewards could be huge.

Imagine Poch had sent that team out??

Tbf Mourinho has to be allowed a clean slate when it comes to his best starting 11.

Spot on regarding his capability and his first touch. his 4th or fifth touch is often a sledgehammer touch

Owen Hargreaves, hands down.
Dullest fucker in town that bloke.

I have 'Hargreaves is the dullest fuck in town' going around in my head to the tune of Solitaire lol

They may not be dull, but I'd take that over the Bleacher Report buffoons we have to endure in the States, who televise CL games. They are truly inept. And what makes it worse, is they clearly think they're entertaining.

Love the banter with Crouch in the studio
