The ref is the best placed person to make a fortune from spot fixing.The first yellow card for one of the teams ? First red ?

I've often wondered if there is a more meaningless league table than the one above. The only people impressed with a ref showing fewer reds and yellows than others are know-nowts acting as pundits/experts. Too many praise refs because they kept their cards in their pockets.` The ref did well by not showing a card' Bollocks i say.A yellow or red card offence should be exactly that.Too many refs cheat the smaller clubs by not showing cards when a player from a big club oversteps the mark.

Jonny Evans would be a canny signing.Good enough for us and guaranteed a regular game.

We'll offer half the wages he is on at Fulham to get him over the line ! Will the reported £60m transfer kitty include Cabaye's £20m,plus Kruls £10m,Debuchy's £8m and Taylors £5m ?

he had a great third touch

I remember when Sir Les was 99% gone,then we tried to keep him.

If my grandad was still alive,he would have no problems with the japs getting nuked,having spent a number of years working for Nippon Railways in Burma during WW2.

Robert is the worst corner taker we have ever had.SBR attempting to sell Shearer to Liverpool is i believe true.

He went to Stoke and Stoke sent him back before his loan period had expired.Put him in Hartlepools team and he wouldn't score 15 in a season.Will we chase him before we bring in other strikers or will we keep him in case we don't bring in enough strikers.

M'Biwa and Boumsong .Far worse than Kevin Scott and Glen Keeley,and every other central defender we have ever had.

But you still read them and we both know you will continue to read them.

This seasons `Our Ground Is Far Too Big For Us' title goes to the makems. 81.9% average capacity means the makems had the most empty seats for season 2013/14. Do they still have plans to increase capacity to one more seat than SJP .This was Bob Murray's dream,before he was glassed by a makem in a Quayside restaurant.

I don't believe any decent Premier League player is on less at his current club than we are prepared to pay him

I thought only the makems take 15,000 away

Gatesheed could do worse than sign Shola for next season.I think he'd score the half dozen goals which could take them back into the football league.

I would think if Gateshead get promoted into the football league,their home games wouldn't clash with ours,so you can put me down for a ticket to the `derby' next season.

Is it not a toffee apple

I have soft spots for every team the makems are playing against

` and draws some conclusions....' And why do you think he somtimes doesn't, Alan ?

Did no one say ` I'll give the club £20 to have my name emblazoned on the East Stand,which is more than Ashley is paying to have Sports Direct on it '

We still had 18 league games to play after the Cardiff cup game so would we have taken the cup seriously if we had been 55 points above a relegation spot.

One `blue chip' signing for £10m + £50,000 a week in wages over 5 years = £ 22.5m ish. Five cheap signing from France for £15m and £ 15,000 a week in wages for each player over 5 years = £18.75m ish. Throw in three or four on freebies and that's close to £50m gone,mostly on shite no doubt. Debuchy and Krul away for £10m,minus their wages ,then let next seasons relegation fight begin.

We could do with signing a decent keeper,because as you know,i told you weeks ago Krul was on his way,and thank fuck for that.Two more goals conceded at the weekend from inside the 6 yard box.Before dead balls are kicked,Krul allows his defenders ( and opposition forwards ) to run into the box into space he should be in charge of.

Didn't Cole refuse to go on stand-by before retiring from international football.Carragher,Foster and Carrick also retired from international football,then changed their minds.Carragher and Carrick were promised `games' so both came back,and played.That might be the route to take for any other disgruntled `squad' players,providing England have a weak as piss manager.

Open top bus parade through sunlun this afternoon. Is that right Sports Direct in the bridges shopping centre has a wedding section.
