No Bassong? I am disgusted.

How could they have expected any other reaction?

Wow, that sounds absolutely not fun at all.

Score one for Italy, obviously.

I think that midfield (Geordie Lad's) is still pretty limited in all truth. Almost certainly better than having Nicky Butt and Duff in there but Nolan/Barton still isn't a partnership good enough to ultimately push on to top half/possible Europe even in a fairly poor PL. Not creative enough, will probably pick up a ton of suspensions and in the case of Gutierrez, we'd need far superior attacking options to really get the best out of him. The likes of Martins/Shola don't have the ability to read the game well enough or can't use their best assets properly (well, in the case of Martins. I'm not sure what Shola's best aspect is. Maybe making a nuisance of himself) to really see Gutierrez' best stuff come out in the last third. Having said that, I'd certainly take that over having Butt, Geremi or Duff in it at this point

Stood behind Frank Bruno in a queue for a rollercoaster in Spain. He was bricking it.

Sebastian Bassong has no CTRL key on his keyboard because Sebastian Bassong is always in control

Thread abandoned until we hear more of asteroidblitz' story.

I'm not sure any manager has seen anything in Shola tbh. It's just the fact that we can't flog him coupled with their hands being forced through injuries etc. It's a case of "Well, who else is there? Shola will do". It's not like he'd be anywhere near the team if everyone was fully fit. That being said, a 3 year contract seems to hint that the current regime see something in him so fuck knows. He's probably got blackmail on someone.

Saw the singer from Maximo Park necking on with his, quite frankly, unattractive girlfriend on the Metro. You'd think being in a fairly popular indie band would get you better women but obviously not. Also chased Andreas Andersson into a bank. To get his autograph, I wasn't lynching him or owt. Mate of mine once called Keiron Dyer a cunt in The Cooperage and another mate broke Lee Cattermole's nose when they were at school together. An acquaintance also reckons he porked the lass from The Zutons many moons ago.

I take it you have never read a proper script... Indeed. Final Draft has absolutely essential features that a macro for Word doesn't have.

There was some choice words banded about from my mouth when he put that wide like. No idea how he managed it.

I'm now skint.

Never has one picture summed up the crowd aspect of modern football, pisstake or not.

Just horsing around tbh

Whiskey and Lemonade. Not too fussed on the specifics really.

Looks harmless to me, does old clamphead.

Christ, that England top is awful. I'll stick with my Toffs one.

For a taster course in how poorly we're run, you probably want to check this Just for a general idea of what we have to put up with on a daily basis.

Yeah, why shouldn't businesses make any money?

Best US comedy since Arrested Development IYAM. Just four horrible people doing horrible things to each other and it's class. Charlie is an official legend. When he's on acid, dancing in the Green Man outfit "His mom just died! The least you could do is let him throw your buddy off the roof!" "Hi. I'm a recovering crack addict and this is my mentally retarded sister. Can we have some welfare please?" Quality.

The sound of a well-informed individual right there.

Almost makes you miss Danny tbh

The invasion of Poland was the final straw that drew us into the war. The main cause of Germany basically spoiling for a fight was the rise of Nazism which in turn was borne out of the economic situation which came about because the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were so harsh on Germany and basically bankrupt the country. The Great Depression following the Wall St. Crash exacerbated the situation. It was mainly about asset grabs, the fact that the Germans didn't have an empire. Financial pressure in Europe and the collision of post-empire capitalism. Banks discovered a new industry - war loans. I've squeezed it down as far as is sensible. Pretty much but Hitler's expansion was based in a belief that Germany were destined to rule over Europe as much as anything else. I think early expansion was about gaining industry/lebensraum and when he realised that Chamberlain and the rest of Europe would have probably stepped aside unless he'd pissed on the Cliffs of Dover, he took the opportunity to expand, based on the general uselessness of Europe up to that point. Having said that, the First World War was much more grounded in the protection and gaining of colonies than the Second. WWII, at its core, was based around ideological differences rather than religion.

Triple Heart Bypass ffs. He'd be mental to continue with the job after that. He wants to just rest up properly and not worry about football. Hope him all the best in recovering.
