Happy Face

Remember how much the mackems loved Brucey ("One of us!"TM ) this time last year?

That sounds right to me. It surprises me how much of his game Demba Ba seems more than willing to sacrifice to accomodate this formation. He gets a fraction of the goalscoring opportunities, for a bloke who's so good at it his head never seems to drop.

Everyone who took the bet was "right". Who was that?

gif'ed that bad boy. For your pleasure... @ the clapping and waving It was marvellous.

I was going potty "He's out of his technical area man ref!" Why it needs retrospective action rather than on the spot is a mystery to me.

Spurs have a pretty easy run in. We've got... Swansea Bolton (H) Stoke (H) Wigan Chelsea Man City (H) Everton Spurs have... Sunderland Norwich (H) QPR Blackburn (H) Bolton Villa Fulham (H) Arsenal... Man City (H) Wolves Wigan (H) Chelsea (H) Stoke Norwich (H) WBA Chelsea... Wigan (H) Fulham Arsenal QPR (H) Newcastle (H) Liverpool Blackburn (H)

The Taking of Alan 123

HB

Apparently i woke up and went to the toilet last night. I've got no memory of it whatsoever though. What makes it noteworthy is that I mumbled to wor lass as i went "I'm gonna piss on you" Demon drink. Wonder if she'd be laughing at me had I gone through with it.

Moyes has had little to spend the last year or two, but he also has an established Premier League squad which wasn't built with buttons. He's averaged a spend of £12m a season over his ten years. He got £20m 3 years running while we were getting relegated, and £30m a little before that. I think their poor start has made their current position look relatively good, but they're basically where they've been the last few years.

Redknapp would have walked it a couple of months ago. Might still in the press award with the Cokney Crew. On merit it should be Pardew though. He's done an outstanding job. Would Hughton have done it?

Thread name change?

According to .com the worst we can do now is 12th Alex June 2011 - We'll finish 13th Ant June 2011 - We'll finish 13th Fish 29/05/11 - 13th @ final day Happy Face 22/06/11 - We won't finish any higher than we did in 10/11 in 11/12 31/10/11 - I would predict a poor season for Liverpool, but I can't see anyone outside the top 6 being less poor. (should have went with my gut) LeazesMag 22/06/11 - We won't finish any higher than we did in 10/11 under Mike Ashley

I know you aren't that self-obsessed. I was being humorous. It's not like donating to charity though, you don't have a limited amount of good will to go around. I don't think anyone's saying they'd rather have been in Petrov or Muamba's shoes than Andy Carroll's this weekend. Personally I don't feel the least bit sorry for him, not because he's a millionaire or healthy or beats women or did well for us, but because he plays for Liverpool.

You want me to feel sorry for you? At least you have a job.

I thought that was what an Italian waiter says when you're waiting for a table?

I'm getting emotional reading that. It's spot on.

Same, apart from already at work and struggling to feign interest.

Hope that was a lesson to any of our lads thinking of leaving. I don't feel the least bit sorry for him. He made his bed and yesterday he dived into it.

Bacon, mushroom, scrambled egg, beans and toast for me. Good start. Think I'll have a day on the brown ale.

The page of the beast. Apt.

love to see the mackems lose this.

Never new this existed. Fucking class.

Their net total over the last 2 years is even less though. £30m, so 15m a season. I think their signings have been shite too. But its been largely funded by selling their best players like Torres, meireles and Mascherano or even further back Alonso.
