    Haven't seen these last couple of games where he's got the rave reviews, so...

    Is he a Glavin/Hignett type player? Goals, assists, bums on seats, team flies up the table.

    or

    A Martin Bullock? Great to watch, sometimes worth the admission fee just to see him bamboozle the opposition defence, but not much end product.

    Yes. That's correct. He can only be categorised in one of two ways. ffs.

    Kay up front.

    Aye - Kay up front.

    And Gerrard at right back.
    Even the spacky Swede is listening to you now.
    ''I'm der Sveedish Chef, vere shall I play my most talented midfielder? At right back ov course ... now where is dat aneemal porno?''.

    You & Sven.
    He can provide the hetrosexuality, you provide the hair.
    Better combination than pants & vest.

    Aye - move Gerrard to right back and what do you get?

    Two goals and a victory over Argentina, one set up by Gerrard who wouldn't be in that position had he not been moved to right back.

    I am skill

    Yes.

    Cos you can only cross the ball if you are playing at full back.

    Why am I entertaining such a discussion?
    It's like Beethoven talking to Cain Dingle about music.

    RE: Aye - move Gerrard to right back and what do you get?

    What was the home game a couple of years back when Kay started up front?
    I went with my mate who is a Leeds fan.... He likes a bet and asked who was the best value for first scorer. I said Kay (16 to 1 or summat)
    Turns out he was playing up front...quality!!!
    Missed a sitter after 5 minutes I seem to remember ...ah well.

    From the Yorky post report

    Devaney was highly impressive, his style akin to that of a poor man's David Ginola.

    Quite funny, but Devaney works hard and helps his defence out.

    RE: Yes.

    Yes, you're the Ludwig van Beethoven of football analysis. I bet you have a PhD in it from Derby university.

    All that spoff has gone to your head you utter mongster.

    Erm ... earwigs? Eh?

    I'm saying that compared to you - I'm the Beethoven of footballing knowledge.
    In fact - compared to you ... the leftover pasta in my bin is Bach & the hole punch in my hand is Strauss.

    You may be able to pillock a family in the Midlands ... but don't mess with me.

    Yeah.
    And your Daddy.

    Not sure - but here's a song for Jay ...

    To the tune of 'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers:

    When I wake up on the sofa, love
    I look like a gay bear
    And yes it’s pretty obvious
    I’ve got 3 foot high hair

    Then I look at shoes
    They are pig skin polyvelts
    I grab my Parka too
    And I know their hearts will melt

    I’m Homo Jay –
    Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay
    Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay

    When the job that lies ahead of me
    Seems impossible to face
    I call up one of the GAB boys
    To shag our lass round place

    Then I look at shirts
    I pick one that is dead shiny
    My tight jeans really hurt
    Grab my roll ups & my weed

    I’m Homo Jay –
    Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay
    Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay

    When the job that lies ahead of me
    Seems impossible to face ...

    I’m Homo Jay –
    Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay, Homo Jay

    Spunk.

    One of the finest and most under-rated words in the English language.

    Laff? Ah neali spunked up.

    guile of bully?

    Are you still jerking off about that waste of space. He could run but if a gust of wind suddenly blew across Oakwell he'd fall down.

    One of the worst players to pull on a Barnsleyf shirt to be honest!

    The fact that you think that makes me feel a lot more confident I am right. You Thatcher loving, right winged, fascist bully boy who can't play defender for toffee ....
