Saw him pull out of loads of 50-50s at home too. Still loved him though. Remember (under Roeder I think) when he played right back a few times. Had a very good game there against C. Ronaldo I seem to remember. Struggled physically at times (had a mare in the Uefa Cup against a German side who played 3 up top where he ended up marking a tall left-winger) but his composure and position were absolutely fantastic. @@ewerk

A useful tool. For tools

Nobby was the archetypal 'homer'. Watch how you say that though.

Haddaway and shite, man. He'd much rather be playing in the Premier League but he blew it.Twice.

Or CT

Wor lass occasionally uses it. You get people on there spilling the beans about stuff like Cadbury's Creme Eggs now being on sale in the supermarkets. You know, the sort of esoteric knowledge only available to people who go into supermarkets. As you can probably guess, I think it's great ©

Hope you gave it to everyone in the government, or at least the ones you met.

Beautiful Island like. Only been the once but hired a car and went to the Troodos Mountains.

This should alleviate some of that smugness: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/146268

Aye, joking apart, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Going to concentrate on his judo apparently.

Similar to me really. I couldn't drink over the hols so I was forced to do loads of amphetamines.

Any related to Mark?

I'm looking forward to the first job-related rants and moans of 2015

All hail the king of the Roombas.

Steve Stone said as much to my uncle about a year ago. Which makes Carver's arse-licking of Pardew and comparisons with KK / SBR even less palatable

Trying to pass a kidney stone is more fun club

Mediocrity, in other words

He was that ordinary at his 'peak' I'm quite surprised he's playing at that level tbh. That win away to Spurs with the Nicky Butt goal and the screamer by Martins. I've rarely seen a top flight player so out if his depth. One of those occasions where you'd arguably have been better playing with 10 men.

We're in a better position than when Pardew replaced Hughton. IIRC, we were 11th back then.

Sorry, didn't catch that. Ask your lass to move her thumb a second

Gemmill turns into a pumpkin if he's not in by 8 bells

Wonder how long it'll be before he starts offering to fight supporters who voice their disapproval. Again. The spirit of Bobby Robson indeed
