Headlines in the morning papers.

 

 

Rafa and Spearing have a bust up and Rafa drops him to the bench in the reserves.

 

[matty]

It's like the f***ing united nations innit.

[Kahnee]

What odds will I get on the Swiss cheese not making it to half time?

2-5, but the bet is voided if he get injured in the warm up.

[Kahnee]

2-5, but the bet is voided if he get injured in the warm up.

 

I'll be amazed if he even made it out of the house in one piece

[Flight]

Steve Irwin and Spearing in the same side - it can't end well.

[Andy @ Allerton]

Philip Degen gave my missus a lift home the other night!

Philip Degen gave my missus a lift home the other night!

 

Does he feel he has to do casual work for season ticket holders instead of play football?

He can varnish my floorboards

[antidote]

can i bet how long Degen will stay on the field? Bet on what new injuries he has after this game

[smithdown]

Get in Degen lad.

 

Brilliant stuff, what a buy!

[Shirohana]

Well I never...

[spacemonkey]

He's back on but still grimacing. Apparently he's going to carry on.

[smithdown]

welbeck, good finish from the greedy get

[DazzlaJ]

1-1

c*** looks like Eubank, which makes me hate him more

[smithdown]

Degen's had it, can't see the point in keeping him on unless Ablett has got a cob on with him, or has a few quid on him lasting til half time.

 

edit: Nope, that's that - who had 23 minutes 51 seconds?

Degen looks injured again. Damn you Kahnee

[Snakebite]

Degen looks injured again. Damn you Kahnee

At least its only an injury. With Kahnee's track record it could've been much worse.

[smithdown]

1-2 now

 

the other brazilian lad

 

Degen's injury has really disrupted our game.

[Foo]

An injured Winston Bogarde. He should consider a career in knitting instead.

[The Hitman]

It's a shame for him,because I think he's actually a decent player.

[Kite]

Fabulous through ball there from Plessis, died right in front of Pacheco

[Kite]

2-2 for any casual browsers out there
