'Flids' Not heard that for ages. Not got owt to add about racism because I'm a white person but I fucking hate the Greeks. They invented gayness.

the image of the clientele of that place mingling with the Popworld lot has me in bits.

I thought Colo was actively awful all of last season (though he's been better in recent weeks) to the point where it was obvious that Yanga-Mbwia/Williamson was the best partnership we had. Williamson and Dummett isn't very good but they should be able to cope against QPR at least. But aye, I'd say Sissoko as well on recent weeks but when Tiote is on proper form, we look a better team too.

For sheer monetary gain, Andy Carroll's six months in the Premier League with us didn't warrant £35 million. He was generally excellent throughout all of 2010 but you know Daglish and Comolli weren't watching him batter Coventry's back four on a Tuesday night.

Should be a good atmosphere at least when you consider Scotland's attitude to England. And Ireland. And Wales. And anyone really.

I don't even like ballfoot

Not going to watch that interview with him because I don't want to ruin the illusion that he sounds exactly like Speedy Gonzalez

That's the thing with the Flaming Lips, their quality control has right out of the window.

that's class. Not got round to that Flaming Lips album but some of it looks...questionable to say the least. Any stand out tracks, Tom?

Grand Budapest Guardians of the Galaxy Planet of the Apes X-Men Those are the only four I've actually seen and in the case of two of them, dragged into watching.

Good crack, Stevie. Keep on smashing it.

Powering through 2014 atm and am really liking Kelis' album. It's produced by Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio fame and it's got a lot of his fingerprints all over it (the horns, mainly) but the whole thing is a good soul album that takes a lot of left-field turns. Tempted to dig into the rest of her stuff now.

Just started A Spy Among Friends by Ben Macintyre. All about a British Soviet double agent during the Cold War who was best friends with the top brass in MI6 and the CIA, who had absolutely no idea he was doling out info to the Russians. Fascinating as it goes into how he managed to pull it off and the scope of just what he was giving away is amazing. Well recommended if you're interested in The Cold War and it was only a fiver or something for the Kindle version.

Cath, is that the Greencroft in Windy Nook? Hope it is, just so I know my social club spotting abilities are up to snuff.

West Brom are in decent form as well so I'm going for a draw. I expect Pardew to have learned nothing and go back to his cautiousness with Sammy dropped and Gouffran back in.

That Mangala may well turn into a good centre half as well but he's certainly not there yet. I know there's a dearth of top class centre halves but I'm sure they could find someone solid, experienced and dependable with their money. And not Demichellis either.

Most of Man City's team don't give a fuck. Yaya Toure seems like he can't be arsed. How much time did he want on the ball at the end? Was completely killing their attacks dead and there was only a minute or two left. Good performance by QPR but you get the sense that Man City need to reinvest in their team to give them something different.

He's combining the two. Watch out, Football Ramble!

It's nowhere near as bad as the Coca-Cola one. I know Christmas IS commercialised beyond belief but it's sad that Coca-Cola have managed to collar an entire nation into associating their brand with it.

I'd send the little shitpipe to his room, me. Make him walk back from Maribor.

Let's just say I am, big boy. Also, what should I be looking at on Reddit? Everytime I've been on, it's been canny unreadable.

Absolutely nailed on that Hazard would have scored that pen and Chelsea would have scored a third, if I didn't have money on that exact outcome.

Saw that RT'd onto my Twitter timeline today. If I listen to it while i fall asleep, how badly will it fuck up my dreams?

aye, I needed him for an accumulator as well. Had him, Sanchez, Benzema and some kid I can't remember to score. Out of everyone, I'd have expected it to be the kid I can't remember but that Portuguese whopper strides in and fucks the day.

Doing well the Smoggies like. But The Championship being as it is, there's about 2 points between 14 teams. Villa though watched the Spurs game and, despite Spurs being shit for 70, they never really looked like scoring a second, even though Benteke's sending off didn't help. This might actually be the year they go down and what a shame that would be, eh?
