First of all we are slowly assembling a decent squad. We have strengthened again in January and we will strengthen again in the summer. Wouldnt half help get a few transfers over the line if we could promise CL football. Also without derailing into the usual LM fest, so far no money has been taken out of the club so I see no cert that suddenly he is going to pocket any CL money. Mind not for a moment do I think he would derail our new fiscal set up based on one CL qualification and rightly so. How do you know this?

I think it's dawned on them that he's a cunt

Im not saying I do think we'll finish fourth, but Im in it for the hopes and dreams and surely as the season has gone on we have all kept having to up our expectations. Im sure lots thought our table slide would continue after November but it didnt and at the same time the other fourth place challengers have turned out so far to be not that great. Whatever happens now it has been a great season and I feel we have definitely progressed again. But while we are 3 points off fourth in February then I certainly dont think its unrealistic to have ambition of keeping it going a little longer. So we won't finish fourth. I apologise for calling you delusional in that case.

It's fucking delusional is what it is. Europa League is a realistic target if certain players stay fit but CL? Shizzle on a stick. I can only assume CT is fishing for bites because he's waiting for a fare and bored......

If that happens then Pardew is on glue. I agree with Chez fwiw

Oh ffs, give over

I think he's one of those people who go through life with that expression permanently....like Napoleon Dynamite without the hair

Good goal. Let's hope it's the start of something

"RELEASE THE MCCRACKEN!!!"

I'd love it love it if Redknaps is convicted and does time. But I won't, cos he won't because it's not what you've done, it's who you know and he's a shady fucking character with fingers in every pie and pocket in the country I suspect you're right. He's basically pleading that he's a loveable cockney barrow boy who don't know nuffink 'bout nuffink. Which is basically the same defence that Ken Dodd pulled, except Ken hid all his money under his mattress instead of a bank account in Monaco that he'd flown out to set up personally. Of course loveable 'Arry wouldn't set out to screw the Revenue, not even if he'd lost loads of money on failed business ventures and needed the cash. He's just a humble football man after all. Personally I think he might be found guilty. If the jury see through his abysmal patter, as I hope they do, then the prosecution will likely push for a custodial sentence to set an example. Please let the judge be an arsenal or Soton supporter. I shouldn't take pleasure in other people's misfortune but what goes around, comes around 'Arry.

I like the Aeris effect. It's plainly all that stood between us and a humping at Ewood Park.

I couldn't give a shit about Spurs tbh. I will probably have a laugh when 'Arry's convicted for tax evasion and they plummet like a stone, mainly because they're above their station and get bumlicked by a large contingent of Fleet Street. But that's as far as it goes.

Hopefully Ameobi can buff the subs bench from now on, except when we play the mackems.

Hahahaha Can't believe we've won that. 5th! Geddin!

Haha how the fuck are we 1-0 up? Only watching it on BBC txt but we seem to have been under siege since 20 mins in. Pardoo's got some work to do at HT

Dann the man!

I'm not confident about this at all. We need to win against one of the weaker teams to maintain our challenge for a Euro place but being NUFC, we will probably lose. Our midfield doesn't look good enough to me, plus the bench is woeful......and I wouldn't back the Best/Ameobi axis to get more than one goal between them. Pedersen is bound to get his customary goal against us so I guess 1-1 is the best I can hope for.

I wonder if he's finished that medical yet

Hi Johnny. it is you, isn't it?

The lack of defensive cover is depressing. Even a short term loan of an experienced CB would have done me. I can't understand the attitude....it's almost like we say "Fuck it, let's see how bad it really gets, and then maybe we'll do something." We did the same after Carroll was sold, when any fool could see a new striker was urgent but at least there arguably there was little time.....we've had weeks to line up a loan deal. On the bright side, at least no-one's been flogged, I'm made up about that.

I can guess at his advice: - Cash in hand only - Always take spare petrol - Watch out for dogshit

Why do u reckon that going to games means you have a higher understanding of football?? Were you at the QPR game? Of Course you were, youll have been one of those idiots shouting "Shooooot" everytime one of our players had the ball in their half (because we hadnt scored in first 20 mins,).... including when WILLIAMSON had it 45 yards out!! I'd say that about 90% of the games i go to i hear some idiot shout something truly idiotic and actually meaning it...... its a knocking bet that one of them was you! To be fair shouting "shoooot" is part of the craic and the more unlikely the player to score, the funnier it is. Well if you've had 10 pints of ale, that is.

That's totally uncalled for, there's nothing wrong with The Fish

Fair point. Was thinking he might go back to Scotland or maybe even home.......
