Bulls**t bingo

Let's play a little game of predicting which 'over used' soundbite Pards will use to explain our inevitable defeat against Chelsea.

I'll get the ball rolling.



'The extra time in midweek took it out of them'


We'll then cross check on Saturday evening to see who got the most right.

Tired bodies out there.

 

Got to teach my players the offside rule.

 

"We had a mid-week cup match which we didn't want" - despite saying that he wanted to win it.

 

"We had some tired bodies out there after mid week, we lost our discipline and shape a little bit."

To be fair we are on a hiding to nowt at the weekend. Chelsea changed all bar Cahill for their game and are in fine form having beaten City and Arsenal in last 2 games. Torres is flying, Lampard is due a goal. It has hammering written all over it for our bunch of easily broken fairies.

 

"I couldn't ask for more from my players"

"We've got to pick ourselves up for the next match/I'm looking for a response now"

"I thought Sissoko did well because I didn't take him off" (again)

"That little bit of professionalism cost us today"

"The fans, you know, they've been brilliant, I feel sorry for them, we all do, they deserve better than that"

 

I've seen a mood in the group in training that they want to put in a performance

 

"Our opponents were able to rest up their players in midweek, their squad is big enough. It's a luxury that we can't afford to have, and to make matters worse, we played an extra 30 minutes of football in midweek"

"We still managed to put up a good fight, we threatened their goal on several occasions (which is going to be total BS, maybe 1 shot on target)"

"No excuses though, we need to play better"

 

If I had the money to spend that José Mourinho has, we'd win everything going.

Surprise surprise

 

Fatigue it is then.

 

"I thought we deserved a goal today"

"we just didnt get the breaks but they will come eventually"

 

"Yohan still hasn't managed to turn his head back round the right way after having it turned by Arsenal's bid on the eve of the opening game of the season"

"Sadly we just couldn't get it over the (goal)line as many times as they did"

 

I can see the word 'line' being overused on Saturday.

 

here's a few early soundbites. everyone got their bingo cards ready?

Moussa had a good game? Is he smoking crack?

 

"The under-investment from the owner and the inept and almost non-existent 'contribution' from Joke in 'ere has seen this club become second-rate, therefore leaving us completely incapable of competing with top teams like Chelsea"

Well, it would be amusing as 'famous last words'

 

Good shout.

Of he could say, 'we lost because JFK is a C**t'... before stripping off and streaking across the pitch shouting 'I'm finally freeeeeeeee'.

 

How about 'that was a cracking game we won!'

 

**** off you ****. not on my shift!
