Not nearly as much of a twat, surely?

Perch gets a lot of stick, but today his positional issues were a direct result of us playing a very high line. So I can't really fault him. Well, you can.

Shola did perfectly fine, as did Nolan and Ben Arfa barely had time to impact the game. Had he done, I dare say he'd have had more impact than Routledge. Those tactics would have got us a result out of that game so Kevin, you're talking total shit. Again.

The most expensive rugby team ever assembled tbh.

Shut up, Kevin.

Sadly I suspect the ref wouldn't give a shit. If he looks at those replays and doesn't realise how worthless he is, then I'm at a loss for words.

If I was Hughton, I'd be having serious words to that ref about how fucking incompetent he is.

NO chance, both the bones in his legs have snapped. Easter at best. Keegan and Butt both think it was a fair tackle. Sorry, but that's just bollocks. It was massively cynical, I bet Mancini told De Jong to take BArfa out. Too rights. There's trying to unsettle a player and kicking the shit of him. That tackle falls well into the second category.

Shaka Hislop on Twitter just called De Jong a upper class version of Karl Henry.

Fuck it, lads. Just go home.

People calling for Taylor to start since he's scored a couple of free kicks is mental. People can be pretty forgetful. Not that I'm saying Perch is good but I'd bet he's a better defender than Ryan Taylor who, for a "set-piece specialist" usually smashes most of his set pieces into the wall or over the bar.

Probably spotted Alex in the bushes.

For some reason he's really really loaded,worth about £50m. Did he sign players who had Willie McKay as their agent at Newcastle? We had a fair few, and the Barry Ferguson debacle was suspicious. Not surprised Keith is bankrupt, as there was a gag about him using a bookies' pen to sign for Blackburn on Fantasy Football League. Colin Hendry is also bankrupt, which is a shame as he was my favourite player along with our Alan. Boumsong was a McKay special. Brown envelopes a plenty with that one as well.

The Fish?

you what? EDIT: What a perfect avatar I have for that quote btw.

Everyone's favourite Spanish MILF

Thought the last episode was very good but Combo's arc was pretty rushed tbh. Maybe if they'd spent less time on pointless house party scenes and Gary dressing up like Clark Gable, it would have had more time to be fleshed out.

I was in City Takeaway with him once and everyone was singing Michael Jackson. Should set up a "Dutty Watch" on this board IYAM.

Not sure why I said him tbh. I remember most of the players we signed a few seasons ago who were coming with big potential have turned out to be largely useless. Ranger aside, I suppose. What's Kadar up to btw? Still injured?

Shit Horse - They Shit Horses, Don't They? is basically some gravelly voiced old black bloke belting out garage rock with some upstart white kids and it's fantastic and of similar lines.

wtf is that? it's like a communist music video from 1952.

Ooh, nice shout. Come Together from Screamadelica is the best song ever to be named 'Come Together'

Nowt. Pull your weight, lads. Saying that, I read the Bizarre thread and that's changed my life for the better.

He isn't actually. Is he not? My bad in that case. He does look a bit like one though. Was he at their academy? Aye, he was. He's from Stoke way I think though. In fact, I think we signed him from Liverpool (he was only at Bolton on loan iirc). Got him from Liverpool, aye. I remember a Liverpool supporting mate of mine telling me that he was touted as a big thing when he was coming through. Something's went wrong along the way if that's the case.
