Chris Smalling played against us yesterday. I can honestly say, that he was very poor. No touch, lack of balance, poor distrubution and appears to panic.

I feel that your club have wasted £10m. Evans and Brown are better.

I saw the highlights, and realised that Smalling is the new Rio. IE: running straight past a player that is attacking the goal.

The problem with Brown is, he's far too injury prone.

Hopefully, when playing alongside a better CB partner Smalling's confidence will increase and improve him as a player. It's the same with Evans - when alongside Rio/Vidic he plays well, but is shaky as fook when next to Brown.

It's teh same at Fulham every year. I spotted a few fans on teh concourse with Fulham shirts on at half-time. Was a very good day out once more, although disappointed the Police have basically oput up a stop to fans having a drink outside the 8 Bells pub (near Putney Bridge Tube Station). It's a rubbish pub with terrible beer but it's usually a good laugh.


Did you get completely bent over price wise?

He played okay though, although that was helped by the fact that Kompany did the hard work - looking after Zamora.


So in the past two weeks, Zamora has played against Vidic and now Kompany and both games he's been eliminated. And people think he should go to South Africa?

Are you referring to the 8 Bells or Craven Cottage?

I think it was something like £3.75 for a watered-down pint in the 8 Bells last year. We quickly learned our lesson. Had one pint, and then nipped around the corner to the off-licence and oured our cans into the plastic glassses we had used. A round went from around £16 to £4. To be honest, I prefer the Kings Arms - about 100 metres past the 8 Bells. There are also couple of decent boozers across Putney Bridge. after the game we went to a place that was showing the Chelsea game and the NRL clash between the silvertails and Eels.

If the weather is nice, I prefer getting a few cans and having a few beers in the park.

In terms of Craven Cottage we paid £51 (this includes a £2 booking fee). The beer was the usual price - £3.50. However, it was my least favourite beer - Carling.


So in the past two weeks, Zamora has played against Vidic and now Kompany and both games he's been eliminated. And people think he should go to South Africa?


To be fair, they are both very good centre-halves.

I don't rate Zamora very highly but to be fair to him, he has out-performed Carlton Cole and Emile Heskey this season. If England selection was based on form, then IMO either Zamora or Bent would be fourth choice behind Rooney, Crouch and Defoe.

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

It was the Irish fella who said it, can't remember who he was commentating with, the one who goes ROOOOOONEEEEEY whenever he's near the ball.
