Happy Face

We've just had our two toughest games of the season and guess how many posts the cleverest man on the board has made in those threads. Take a stab at zero?? As soon as we get a tonking he will be all over it like a fly on a freshly laid turd Bingo. To be fair, 1 point from 6 is relegation form.

a soldier dying in a war while armed to the teeth just isn't as shocking, unexpected or senseless to be brutally honest.

spellchecker makes Allardyce malpractice

assume it's some twatty bollocks his pal Malpractice has spouted when they're on the whisky one night.

"Fans are hard to please, especially on Tyneside. "The local media have created an expectancy hard to match in reality." "I have long believed some journalists in the North-East have assumed a bigger role than is normal to rest of country." "They have exerted too much influence without being responsible of the consequences - except to heap more criticism on club and the manager."

"I think if we gain in confidence, we can go and get the title,” he told The Sun. "I think the only thing that makes a difference is the confidence. We really have good footballers here. If we carry on like this, then we can do something." Deluded Mags

As Ian Hislop pointed out on HIGNFY this week, the British press actually exposed the hacking scandal, not the police or MPs who would have preferred everything to be swept under the carpet....and did so for a long time until the outrage peaked over 'real people' being hacked as opposed to 'celebrities'. Maybe the British constabulary and government should be consigned to history for not enforcing the law, rather than those members of the press that break it with impunity. How was Craig lauding MP's etc? Large elements of the tabloid press are cunts, the fact theres shite police and MP's too isn't much of a defence as far as I'm concerned. He wasn't. I think he was suggesting there should potentially be changes to press regulation. I'm saying there are already laws in place to cover this stuff, so there's no point coming up with more laws and saying "we'll REALLY enforce them this time" and just leaving the people working for us (police/MPs) to enforce them as poorly as they have previously.

MOTD called them "United" when giving the teams Fighting a losing battle tbh

I'm just saying anyone can say 'flash in the pan' for practically anyone bought since promotion as it's valid to say "well x did it for season after season, y has only been here a year". So while its reasonable to say it, it makes it a bit daft too as it's essentially an unreal concept to begin with. And anyone not putting Enrique needs a psychiatric referral, he's the best toon LB in my lifetime, never mind the last 11 years, and thats despite being shit for consecutive seasons. S'pose that's where it needs clarification...the better servant of NUFC, or the best player to pull on the shirt....the impartial observer might put Kluivert ahead of Bellamy if it's the latter.

2 mackem threads mind. Obsessed?

Think it's generous to put Enrique in from his one good top flight season. He's a better player than Bernard now, but it was a long time coming. I wonder how much quicker he might have settled had Allardyce not played Zoggy ahead of him. Even if he was making mistakes, at least he'd have been learning. I don't think he needed the protection Allardyce gave him early on, he wasn't a teenager or owt, he was 21+ when he came.

Watching MOTD, when he shook hands with Martinez before the game he lifted an imaginary glass to his lips as if to say "We'll have a drink after!" Proper plonky. He looks like my auntie Pat.

Love Tiote...but much more worried about losing Sideshow Bob.

quality

I'm pretty much convinced...but won't be happy until we see what fuck face has up his sleeve in January.

Woosh?

Outside bottom 6 opponents we've still only won 2 games. I'm still certain we won't beat last seasons finish. And if that means these bell ends keep churning out results and making me look a fucking idiot, then so be it, I prefer to look like a complete Christmas Tree than credit us with a long term chance and jinx it completely.

Just saw it on BBC. Sent a total shudder through me. Gutted. Was just watching him on football focus yesterday too.

His reserves patter should temper that.

We was robbed a pen in the first half anyhow, right?

dug this out to do a mea culpa about Krul and give CT the props he deserves.

Always has to use his left. Thought he was talking shite without actually seeing the game, but to be fair the penalty isn't a good example...cos by all accounts Ferdinand took the ball off him.

Armfield kept repeating how predictable Ben arfa is on 5 live. Reckons he's one dimensional and easily sussed.
