Apparently Bradys favourite position is missionary...its also rumoured that in the porno she made, she actually had 2 cocks in her arse at the same time but we dont know if that is just clever editing by gold and sullivan.

What we do know for sure, is that she will be tossed around the hospitality room today at the lane, like a fucking pancake on shrove tuesday
 
and to add to that, I just think Man City are always capable of capitulating like they did yesterday. toure can be lazy, sterling can be ineffective, but more importantly everyone's been raving far too much about the new argentine CB.
especially without kompany. they are all over the place.
they miss silva's link up play too.
yesterday was similar to the way they folded against us.
they had those key players missing against us as well as a dodgy willy in goal.
city with the spine is a million miles from city without it.

however, liverpool will be challenging for 4th.
they are lucky to have got klopp. a lot of luck with the timing.
 
Amazing. You'd think if it was so easy then every team would do this and we'd have conceded more than 10 goals this season.
That's because most PL team don't play that type of football anymore or hardly do, however West Ham still plays that Wimbledon style. Last season at WHL they scored 2 goals, both from crosses.

Last time at the Library that useless Giroud would've easily walked away with a hat trick that day. The amount of free headers he had was shocking.

That's our biggest weakness this season and most teams are starting to figure it out.

It's not about playing that style. It's about scoring against teams and beating them. If it was easy for teams to win against their opponents by lifting it long they would do it whenever they play us and mix it up a bit. I personally see no such weakness in our defence. Dier wins almost every ball thats lifted long and if it misses him, Alderweireld is always there to knock it away too. Not to mention Lloris is willing to come out and claim or punch it clear.

As mentioned by another member on here, we struggle when wingers look to attack our fullbacks and get a cross in because all four of our fullbacks are guilty of allowing crosses come in far too easily. 9 times out of 10, Alderweireld and Vertonghen deal with the crosses but if you fire them in, you'll have more chance of scoring. I am confident if you look up every goal we've conceded, half of those will be crosses from wide positions and you'll rarely see ANY from a team lofting it long centrally.

Yeah, how many times have we been beaten recently by teams who have "figured it out"?

Talk about an overreaction to one match. The fact is that we've conceded less than average goals from headers, have more headed clearences than average and it's to some extent a deliberate tactic as crosses are the least effective method of attack. But don't let that get in the way of putting down the best defence, we've had for I don't even know how long, because Ozil, who despite all his cuntiness has the best assist rate in PL ever (as far as I recall) was able to play a few pinpoint crosses to Giroud for 20 minutes of a 90 minutes match.

Couldn't agree more. The way some have talked it's liked we've conceded shitloads from crosses all season. More than ever passages of play after the game has finished can be talked about like it was during the whole game.
 
yeah I know, I'm just not a big fan of the way danny rose sometimes defends that left channel. I'd be much happier with davies there, just my opinion.
Tbh I'm keeping it in perspective, weren't long ago when we didn't really have a lb having 2 who offer different options to the team after all these years makes me smile, still personally prefer rose because he's the type of player poch wants even if some say he doesn't have everything needed passion makes up for it
 
I think it's just when we play on a bigger pitch like the emirates, its harder to get across and block out all the crosses quickly.

At WHL the pitch is smaller so we're able to defend strongly in all areas.
