HARRY HAVERTON'S COMMENT 16-1-05
There's not a great deal of comment to be made on this weekend's tabloid newspapers but I do think that Monday morning's back pages will be full of a load of "Bloody Rubbish!" about the scrap in The North Stand goalmouth this afternoon.
But more on that in a moment. There was one interesting comment in Saturday's Mirror though and it was by new Liverpool signing Fernando Morientes.
Speaking through an interpreter, Morientes explained that he knows just how important Steven Gerrard is to the club, and he said;
"I am going to learn English as quickly as possible, so that I can say to Steven Gerrard in his own language that he must stay."
What a "Bloody Rubbish!" way of doing things. The man has an interpreter with him, so I would have thought that he would have just used him to get a simple three word message across. But back to the scrap.
The Monday papers will probably try to dramatise it as it will certainly be the big news of tomorrow after the "Bloody Rubbish!" spectacle between West Brom and Fulham this afternoon. It looks like Robbo is sunk at West Brom and that he'll take them down in his first season in charge. What a load of "Bloody Rubbish!" But I digress.
The scrap this afternoon was good and our lads pasted them Scousers. They're "Bloody Rubbish!" at scrapping that lot, as proven by the comprehensive battering that our boys gave them.
What happened was that Tim Cahill and Jimmy Haggelbank had been having a bit of a shoving match for a few minutes and when the ball came in, the Everton players went in for it hard. So did we and when that load of Scottish "Bloody Rubbish!" Ferguson trampled all over Skippy, Bolo did the right thing and twatted the lanky haggis.
It was a "Bloody Rubbish!" punch though because the Jock headbanger didn't even stagger backwards. Bolo never got the chance for a follow up because the goalmouth was instantly crowded by a sixteen man scrap.
The Boro lads showed great team spirit because they all piled in when the scrap broke out. Even Doriva threw a punch and he's been playing "Bloody Rubbish!" lately. Mind you, it missed, come to think of it.
They were all back to protect our fallen keeper, Skippy and I think that's great team spirit, considering that he may not be with us for much longer. He'd be better off staying at the Boro though because he'll not have a good time at Old Trafford. "Bloody Rubbish!" place for a goalkeeper to go that is. Look at what happened to Peter Schmeichel. Ended up on that "Bloody Rubbish!" Match of the Day with Alan Hansen.
But back to the scrap. It was great to see Franck Queudrue throwing a punch without getting red carded. Franck was on the outskirts whilst the fight was in full swing but he did connect with one mighty left hook and would probably have taken out the whole of the Everton team, and all the supporters as well, single handedly, if the ref hadn't stopped the fight in the first minute. "Bloody Rubbish!" decision that was ref. It was the best entertainment we'd had all day.
Because the match was "Bloody Rubbish!" really. We're not really that good at the moment and I'm disappointed that there has been no transfer activity during the two weeks that the trasnfer window has been open.
I would like to see, at the very least, three players pack their bags and ship out of town. First of all, Doriva. Sorry son, but you are "Bloody Rubbish!" Can't tackle, can't pass and can't get in the right position. Sign Luis Figo, McClaren. He's our solution. Doriva tries hard but he's just not good enough.
Joseph Desire Job, who was absolute "Bloody Rubbish!" today. Strikers are supposed to be in goalscoring positions and ready for goalscoring opportunities to come their way. Viduka would have had a hat trick today but instead, we have to put up with "Bloody Rubbish!" from the reserve side. Come in number sixteen, your time's up.
The Lizard is in the Autumn of his Boro career now. Shame that the Spring and Summer were "Bloody Rubbish!" as well. Apart from one good spell on the right wing earlier this season, The Lizard has been looking all season like he's not sure what his best position is, as he's played "Bloody Rubbish!" in all of them.
But we got a point and we are still on course for Europe next year, with a lot of key players still to return. But we'll have to put in some better performances than the one today, otherwise mid table mediocrity courtesy of some "Bloody Rubbish!" results beckons...
More "Bloody Rubbish!" by Harry Haverton coming your way next weekend.
