Well, Granby st is getting mauled in Leicester. My watering hole there has been taken out and apparently nandos is getting done over (cunts) If they manage to avoid firebombing leicester royal, then i MAY have a job to go to tomorrow! Hope everyone is well out of harms way like

Training facilities and 'cunterhead' cracked me proper, top effort

Happy birthday fella! x

Holy shit, wonderfully orchestrated that!

Dzeko makes it 2

Almost certainly nonsense. At the very least that would be a loan fee. You've failed to provide a source, and he's been playing in all of their pre-season games (ahead of Torres), scoring a few, and both he and his manager have made it clear that he wants to fight for his place at Chelsea this season. Was a sub story on the SSN feed this morning, original article for 'the people' i believe, i'll have a dig round for it, but like you say more than likely usual sunday nonsense

Apparently a heafty fee of 3 million quid is being thrown around for anyone that wants sturridge. If that's the case and we dont at least enquire then i shall eat my own face

So thats our two opening games of the season, without two of our higher profile players. Something has to be going on here.

Apparently still stuck abroad without a visa :s

Rhubarb?

Hope you had a good one fella! x

I don't get it Well....

How on earth did they let him have that much space? cracking effort nonetheless!

Not really bad taste and probably age old but hey-ho. "Why did the sperm cross the road?" "Because i put on the wrong sock this morning!"

I keep forgetting perch exists and then some bastard always brings the nightmarish vision of him in black and white back

Jesus Fucking Christ

You don't even look like Coloccini. Simon Weston looks as much like Colo as yee dee. I know! To be fair me hair is a fair bit longer and curlier than in that pic - so i guess if people only need the 'curly hair = coloccini' to go on, then I can understand it, but facially i divvn't look argentinian at all!

Just got back from the game - will throw my thoughts down quickly before hitting the pubs. Met a few class lads on the train there, hit the wetherspoons and had a bit of banter with some leeds fans pre-game - no real trouble (though the few hundred fans in the pub chanting the colocinni song when i walked in was a bit overwhelming if not unexpected) Sammy and Vukic looked decent (though in comparison to some of the players on the pitch it could've just been more effort) - Sammy eventually gave us a wave after 10 minutes of chanting for it xD Best Looked a lot sharper than any other time i'd seen him, winning balls in the air, chasing balls out to the wing - holding well and setting up some nice efforts on goal - was unlucky nott o score in the final 3rd. Foster had a shocking game, pretty much put the ball in the net for them twice, can think of one decent save he made from Gradel in the first half but besides that only got called on to pick the ball out his net. Young un's that got played in defence were very shakey, lots of mixups and bad passes that gave leeds more confidence than they deserved. Ref was a complete wanker, gave them set pieces for the slightest of things and friendly or not, failed to give more than a warning for a few hacking tackles on our players in the second half! (and the commentator announcing the added time at the end of the first half, then the ref blowing before it had been played, and not even playing the full 90 minutes of the match despite the several minutes of fouls and injury in the 2nd gave a chuckle) Steven Taylor again was clinical - set up really well from the new lads crosses - got a couple of decent connections before putting it in for our first, seemed to be held back by not having a bit more experience back with him in defence, and Simpson seemed perfectly happy to do his "back off the attacker until we are inside the penalty area" game, which was annoying. Ba looked a bit sluggish today, would'nt say he couldnt be arsed but he definitely seemed to not be firing on all cylinders. At the end of the day it was a fairly sloppy match form both sets of players, we played the classier football, but they just took the direct approach and our defence could'n quite handle it. Pretty much every goal came as the result of a goalkeeping fuck up of sorts, and as some leeds fans mentioned after, given 3 more minutes we'd have equalized again, just that type of game. Some promising and good things to take from it though. Lowlight of the afternoon was walking through the park after the match back to the station, and seeing some young laddie in a newcastle hat chasing after his mates chanting the 'Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle' chant. To which a group of 5/6 lads in the park (all at least in their late teens, early twenties) sprinted over and proceeded to Start kicking lumps out of him - laddy got up and scarpered and there werent many toon fans walking that way out so the cunts that did it just did one themselves, but it was bang out of order. Enjoyable day overall, some good banter, promosing signs on the pitch, lessons learned, and drinking since we left at 8:30 this morning. Hope everyone else had a top one!.

Where's the squad announcement? also - anyone else making the trip tomorrow?

Tom - then i could just pretend i was doing myself

I can't imagine life without you now tbh Deadman

I've recently regressed back into it after 3 years of not smoking AT ALL. Started (like a twat) during secondary school, and carried right on through til the smoking ban came in (where i promised my mrs i'd quit) which i did. However like an idiot i started having the odd cheeky fag whilst i was out on the lash (no self control evidently) but felt no craving or worse for it. This was not an issue until the club across the road started doing 50p drinks on weekends, our one or two nights out a month is now turning into 2 or 3 a week, crashing fags or picking up some rolling along the way. Got the remainder of a pack of 10 from last night and im frigging gagging for a fag now - thing is, i feel like shite when i smoke sober, i hate the stuff and how crap it makes you feel, and really should not be wasting money on this. Gotta ween meself off again but jeebus i feel like a tosser.

Tickets arrived today along with a lovely letter reminding all the supporters to behave themselves after the darlington antics
