he has to go

i really hope gosling doesn't start raylor is going to be massively exposed without jonas doing his protector track back role. i'd keep the starting lineup and formation as close to what has been so successful so far this season personally. we're almost certainly going to lose so we may as well give ourselves a fighting chance by using the system the players are happiest with.

i went just up the road to dahab as a student. loved it. cheap as chips, copious amounts of weed. i did get some dirty arab asking if he could buy the lass i was with mind. i think it was 20 camels he offered me. apparently a good price.

i'm half watching the sweden game and i honestly couldn't be more bored with it. boring football, couldn't give a shit about any of the players. there's no romance at all with the national side anymore.

ball retention is absolutely key in international football. for all the hype over our players, they don't do that well enough to cut it against the best sides. we haven't had a midfielder since paul scholes that was world class at keeping the ball. the likes of gerrard, beckham, lampard that have dominated our midfield for the past decade all give away possession far too cheaply. the hollywood 50 yard raking pass looks awesome when it comes off but it shouldn't be a stock ball.

We have one of the richest leagues in the world, some of the best facilities and our players perform for top champions league clubs season after season. And yet when they get together for international tournaments they consistently under achieve to the extent that most football fans I know have lost interest. So why is the england team so rubbish? Over hyped players that aren't actually that good? Over paid players that dont care enough about the shirt? Fatigue after a long season? Lack of bottle? The weight of expectation combined with past failures? Crap coaching? Or a combination of the above? You tell me.

it says something for our progress this season that we are even entertaining anything but a heavy loss here. man city have dispatched better sides than us this season and scored a bucketload of goals in the process. a draw would be a great result.

He's not even that good anymore. I'd start with jagielka ahead of him

Don't you work in the media and live in London? Aye but I work for an organisation where you dont get away weraing an ironic suit or glasses without lenses. Not for some social network startup in 'silicon roundabout' where the main job requirement is wearing women's trousers.

this video sums it up pretty well

sadly destined to go the same route as george best, probably at an even younger age.

That's not what he said re-read the whole post and not just the bit you bolded up. he's talking about the paper reporting what's in the best interests of the club and the fans. remember, you in a minority of one with your views on here over the renaming. the majority of us want the chronicle to publish pieces that reflect the voice of the true supporters over this issue - fury with the owner's decision-making in other words. I read the whole post, the conclusion was what I asked for clarification of. As for the minority of one, how come ??? I don't agree with the renaming but it is/was utterly predicatable, what I took issue with was the amount of "damage" it actually would/could do, and its place in the greater scheme of things, in terms of damage/taking the piss out of fans. How many ever called the Exhibition Stand by it's changed name ? you are the minority of one because you seem to think it isn't a big deal. it is a big deal to everyone else. all real fans are spitting feathers over this move. the damage is permanent. he has shown complete disregard for the supporters by attempting to destroy a piece of our history. that will never be forgiven or forgotten by the real supporters. and pp is right to suggest the chronicle shares that line. renaming a stand is hardly the same as renaming the whole stadium.

Toonpack, it's pretty obvious PP is talking about the chronicle taking a long overdue aim at the owners of the club and asking the sorts of questions the fans want answering for once instead of producing endless puff pieces. that should highlight the owner's lack of credibility without hurting the club.

yeah, but what's the use in him squeezing every penny out of a sale if the cash isn't reinvested?

it's going to be the sports direct arena as long as fat mike is around. we need to get used to that revoltingly tacky signage not going anywhere any time soon.

i doubt they'd be barred from pressers, more that ryder's sources within the club will dry up if they don't toe the party line. totally agree with the sentiment though. it's time for ryder et al to grow a pair and tell it like it is. i did like their front cover the day the stadium name change story broke.

Derrick, I hope your mother dies in a freak yachting accident

i wonder if that's curtains for him getting the england job or not. shame if so.

they've never been more spot on.

I propose we hit Ashley hard and hit him fast with a major - and I mean major - leaflet campaign, and while he's reeling from that, we'd follow up with a car boot sale, some street theatre and possibly even some benefit concerts. OK? Now, if that's not enough, I'm sorry, it's time for the T-shirts: ‘Ashley Out’ ... ‘Sport Direct Direct - No Thanks’ ... and if that's not enough, well, I don't know what will be.

arsenal's move was all about generating extra revenue for the club. our move is all about generating extra revenue for sports direct.

abso fucking lutely jeff. been saying this all day.

I'm still seething me like. That's after sleeping on it too. Fucking furious. Any cunt that isn't cant call themselves a true Newcastle fan if you ask me. Why would the likes of Toonpack choose a tIme like now to defend the owners actions? Reading lame attempts at justifying this move is only increasing my rage. We get absolutely nothing at all from this other than humiliation.

about fucking time they stood up to ashley
