I love the way some smokers like to blame everyone else but themselves "Why should I give up my filthy habit that affects other people, they should just fuck off elsewhere" Yeah, that seems fair!

Is this a leaving present?

17 goals in his first season under a shit manager in a shit team, I'm willing to believe that he can improve on that under Allardyce being fed from a better midfield with real tactics. Exactly. I am confident Martins will always score goals and goalscorers cost money (typing on the day Darren Bent has just moved for £16.5m). Owen will be in the last year of his contract in a years time, I very much doubt he will be signing a new one so again I am very confident Martins will hold his value more than Owen.

Anecdotal evidence would suggest a lot of smokers trying to give up 'fall off the wagon' as it were down the pub. Yep heard that a few times, those who have given up but found it too hard when they have gone out at the weekened and been surrounded by smoke.

All seriousness though I think its a good thing (the ban), I know quite a few people are using it as a spur to give up. Obviously not everyone is going to manage it but if a few do its a good thing.

I think they are good. Obviously just been sucked into the media hype though because obviously I couldn't possibly just like them!

The smokers are on edge already and it hasn't even come in yet, will be fun when it does

Owen. Owen is the better player but Martins is younger and seems to have a much better injury record. Neither do much of any worth off the ball and given the fact Martins will play more and hold his value it seems a fairly simple choice.

Made Goddy a multi millionaire, and snared Chantelle a trophy husband. And at least 6 or 7 people have been 100K better off. That Gay fella did SMTV and that bald lass got into porn. Followed by a divorce, and what are sure to be lucrative interviews telling anyone who will listen about her 'heartbreak'. I don't think Goody's also enjoying her life much at the moment also tbh. Despite being a silly twat and bringing that on herself I am in no doubt she is a lot better off now than she would have been without big brother.

Absolutely fucking stupid goings on at my place. Some people are arguing they should be given paid leave and go on courses (which the companies also pay for) to help them give up. Fuck off!

It's only him man! Oh right, I thought Wacky got involved sometimes?

She was way too soft to be a parent "Hi its Mrs xxxxxx, still trying to get xxxxx into school today but he wont get up, he should be in in about an hour" Fucking hell! my parents weren't the sort to beat their kids but there is no way I would have been given the chance to say "nah, can't be arsed to get up".

They seem to be even now with the stupid money they got for Carrick.

You sure about that sunshine?? He meant he was taking the piss out of the fella fitting.

You boys and your stories, worse than Jackanory round here at times.

Definitely murder, might just do it anyway and hope I get away with it.

Carling is horrible.

You will be amazed mate, and you'll look like a mug when I drag this thread up, when all of the Scotswood parafins are welcoming him outside SJP. ? Still taking bets btw? I will have £50 on "he ain't coming" if you are

To be fair Stevie your reactions in this thread weren't the best were they. It was always gonna come back on you if the deal didn't go through.

Proper stalking!

Too busy looking for Scunthorpe Did he threaten to come and see you?

I doubt Allardyce has been given the funds yet to be making any huge signings.

Gutted. He is a defensive midfielder tbf.

Can't see him being here before the 1st, none of the Barton, Rozenhal, Viduka deals were wrapped up very quickly and there isn't even a sniff of Baines coming at the moment.
