"I wish we had supporters like Newcastle's. Their supporters are more loyal than ours. On has to be fair - if we'd signed Kevin keegan, I don't believe we would have had the same reaction through the turnstiles." Tom Cowie SAFC chairman 1982 "Our prices are half Newcastle's prices - you just can't compare the clubs, they're not to compare. We're stuck between a massive city that's vibrant like Newcastle...and Middlesborough." Bob Murrray 2002 Can't think why they're bitter.....

The thread's valid, it's the motive I doubt.

Milner in for Ben Arfa, haha Selling club indeed Which is the point of the thread of course, let's bait Leazesmag again. Tedious stuff.

Yes, as long as they're a cockernee, they're lovely-jubbly, fank-yew-vewy-mahch

Dunno how you blokes can dabble with this. I was either 20 a day and a few j's in the evening or nothing. No self control, the only way to quit for me was to go cold turkey......I couldn't cut down, wouldn't do hypno and I couldn't get the patches lit......

You should come to NZ. Every barber's a real barber, it's like the golden age of barber-y here. I was hoping I'd be offered "something for the weekend" first time I went to the local barbers, sadly nay.

From 1994? I don't see how anyone can make a fuss about this tbh.

I have to say I couldn't give a flying fuck about sparrow legs from Derry. Perhaps if he plays for us a bit more consistently I could grow fonder....but at the moment there isn't a lot to go on

Pointless, this.

I couldn't care less about England. After years of disappointment, couldn't-give-a-toss players, pointless friendlies, media hype etc, I'm over it. I just hope that Pardoo isn't caught up in the fall out iin some way, with the musical chairs that will inevitably go on. I never thought I'd care about whether Pardoo left or not......

re the court case, Redknapp plainly had a case to answer. He wnet to the trouble of setting up a secret offshore account in a tax haven, named after his dog, which he had to travel to Monaco to accomplish. That offshore account was provided to the chairman of his employer to receive substantial amounts which appeared to be connected with his employment. The cost of the prosecution is irrelevant if it sends out the right message especially in an area where traditionally there has been a high amount of dodgy payments etc. This case was not about whether tax was due on the payments, I expect it was and 'Arry has already paid up. It was about whether Redknapp set out to evade tax. He's been found not guilty of it by his peers so that's that. However the Revenue were fully entitled to prosecute him if they believe it was deliberate, or part of a pattern of behaviour, or it was necessary to set an example. He's basically got off by running the Ken Dodd defence i.e. I am as thick as pigshit, I don't know anything about finance, I leave all that to my accountant, I am a good and simple man who would never cheat the Crown. Personally I think 'Arry is pretty sharp and would know exactly what he was doing but the jury decided otherwise.

I doubt it.

It's one idiot. It could just as easily be one of our supporters, Howay.

There's nee way on this planet that Fyndoune even has a rugby team never mind a fucking rowing club! It's nee where near a river I didn't go to Fyndoune mate! Did Stevie go to Pypedoon ?

There's really no need to be that hard on yourself

I think we'll lose, probably by two goals, on the basis both Cabaye and Tiote will be missing.......just don't feel we've got the guile in attack to score many or the steel to keep the likes fo Bale and Modric quiet....plus we've been riding our luck lately defensively and this will run out. I dislike Spurs. A draw would feel like a win for me and a win would precipitate a trouser ripping orgasm. Which would be nice.

Fck ff

Pretty much spot on that. Shit, CT agrees with me!

Shittest goal celebration in the history of the Prem, FACT

Or a quandary, even

That reminded me of the classic lyric from "Don't Stand So Close to Me": It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov "That book by Nabakov"? Fucking hell Sting!

Just watched the game. Thought Obertan was adequate - some good moments, a couple of good crosses, better application tackling back etc - altogether an improvement on previous efforts. Not as shite as usual and glimpses of a canny player there - imo if he carries on improving he could become a good player. If that's as good as he gets then we could do better imo

It possibly won't surprise you the answer is no Mr Fist

"And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door. Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war." A classic nugget from Duran Duran that sticks in the memory
