I only ever used to drive past the place on the M1. There were those horrible big power station chimneys which they've knocked down now. I always used to think to myself "am I fuck stopping here", maybe its nicer than it looks from the motorway

all it needed was a mercurial French left winger....

think I'd rather we signed a LB than another CM. But any new signing would be welcomed.

Good result and sounds like a decent performance.Wouldn't have happened under Pardew.

Whatever the team, its a match mclaren has to win for the feel good factor.

I expect Willo will play. It's probably his level but I'm still hopeful he will be left out.

Yeah global brand ffs

In the league you mean? They did win the FA cup last term...

Exactly. I expect he's most highly regarded by his agent atm

There's not much of him to reveal tbf

slow as fuck wasnt he?

Curtis Good's been injured forever. Aussies eh, tsk

My first game was vs Swindon in 1993 in Division 1. I think (but I'm not sure) it may have been Andy Cole's debut for the toon. I don't remember much about the match, except we were right behind the goal. The pre kick off atmosphere was great including slagging off the Swindon keeper Fraser Digby, which was hilarious. Swindon still had terraces though and you could get really close to the goalie. There was a sustained verbal assault culminating in "How Digby, your wife sucks a mean cock!" which had everyone including Digby creased up. We were ahead for most of the match but ended up drawing to an Andy Mutch goal scored in front of us. He made a point of celebrating in front of the toon fans, the twat The match kind of petered out after that. I went to quite a few away games throughout the 90s and 2000s before I emigrated mainly in the south east.....the majority in London. Went to Wembley to see us in the charity shield v man utd. Have been a couple of times on trips back to the UK. I've been to SJP a few times but probably not into double figures yet. I'm basically an OOT converted into an OOC.

iirc Happy Face predicted there would be about 50m to spend on new players this window. If thats right, then we can expect any further transfers to be funded from departures. I think we'd need the majority of Williamson, Bigirama, Gouffran, Marveaux and Vukcic to leave before we sign another first teamer.

Rooney will fuck us like a latex clad granny. He always does.

I was going to say something about "Thauvin the best till last" but I've thought better of it

urgh!

Swamp Thing?

Yes he was undermined by the SDP - and the militants in his own party - but his public persona was disastrous in the election. I remember him on TV and he had the weirdest way of emphasising words and running sentences together. He was rhe antithesis of soundbites. He also looked like a mad professor who'd stolen his clothes off a tramp. As I recall it he got eaten alive by Maggie, the Press and his own party. The 83 election was a disaster.

Can you be pacific?

Better Thauvin than nobody. We need a LW after all.

The point about Labour needing a slick media savvy leader is well made. If you don't just know of him, google Michael Foot to see what a principled and clever but shambolic and media unfriendly old man does for your election chances.
