Gartside needs to get his head out of his own arse and move on like everyone else has... Bitter, bitter twat - I used to respect him, no more though...

Simone's leading the way? We're never gonna hear the end of this

Be interesting to see what Man Utd do about it what with the window still open. They obviously signed Tevez to play alongside Rooney, not instead of him and with Smith gone, I can't see them sticking with Saha. Wouldn't be surprised to see a sneaky bid for Gudjohnsen...

Not a very encouraging read if you're Ameobi though Not at all - what a shame, eh? Bet MattM4 will be in agreement

Fan-tas-tic!

I know - quite sad isn't it, but I've always kind of taken interest on what all teams new kits are like. And it occurred to me there's a hell of a lot made by Umbro this season. I hope not, chav brand. I'd like to stick with Adidas but if not I could handle Umbro. I hope not too but Ashley owns the brand lock stock and barrel and he'll coin it in if they make our shirts. Personally I think he'd coin it in more from a big player like Adidas or Nike. The deal Chelsea are reporting to be on is absurd!

I know we've touched on this before and it was pointed out that Mike Ashley no longer has any 'financial interests' in Umbro, but I couldn't help noticing that all the teams who last season were wearing kits manufacturered by his brands are now being supplied with Umbro kits: Birmingham (was Lonsdale, now Umbro) Blackburn (was Lonsdale, now Umbro) Sunderland (was Lonsdale, now Umbro) Wigan (was JJB, now Umbro) The last one is pretty interesting given that the Wigan chairman is the bloke who started the JJB empire and then sold it to Ashley - plus they're still the shirt sponsors. Just wonder if part of Ashley's deal with Umbro was that he signed over all the football shirt contracts to Umbro. Bet he made a packet if he did... Shrewd businessman - thank god we don't have a certain F Shepherd in charge any more

Final whistle - get in!!!

Here we go..... Lets see how we cope with them getting one

I'm fucking dreaming aren't I?? 3-0??? Mackems won't be top of the league for long!

Having listened to them warble on about the fact they've got live commentaries of Premiership games from this season, I've settled down to listen to talksport online..... http://www2.talksport.net/premiership/talk...t-liveUK_LL.asx Quality link like - fucktards

Be nice if Spuds stayed where they were

Team Toonplastic is entered....

SMO found one of the blokes who's street he's been parking in then? On a serious note, that's fucking horrendous and I'm surprised you didn't say something Wacky - I know I'd have found it hard not to. If it's not bad attacking an old boy but then threatning a youngster isn't on. Poor kid is probably having nightmares. A couple of chavs around our way turned on some old bloke outside mine a few months ago, took his walking stick off him and started threatning him with it. That was until the huge black guy who lives opposite asked them "what the fuck they were doing" and they did a runner. The poor old sod was shaking like mad..... Cunts!

Who needs to have a go at them, it's the Mirror - we know they're full of shit! EDIT: in saying that, it's the BBC who've fucked it up - the Mirror's site reports that he plays for Fulham. As for the takeover thing, complete shite by the gutter press who are still reeling from the fact that they're no longer drip feed information directly from the club. I'm guessing they've heard of Ashley in the past buying stock on the cheap and then selling it on for a profit a little while later. I don't think for one second he's applying that logic at NUFC and if he was, why dispense with the board and appoint his own chairman?

No wonder you've done nearly 25,000 posts!

To be fair, there's not really be the opportunity yet though, has there?

I'm up in Watford and we play 5-a-side on a Monday night. Bit of a commute from Greenwich though...

I've been stung by both and a wasp sting is nowt by comparison.... the hornet sting delivers pain to a fucking massive area around where it actually stings you, at least the wasp sting is concentrated on one area....

I always thought hornets were move like wasps. Am I wrong? No, hornets are like big wasps. Yup and fucking vicious bastards! I'd rather be stung by a wasp than a hornet!

I'd totally forgotten about Cudicini Surprised he's never asked for a move tbh, he'd fit into the first team at most of the Premiership clubs (Arsenal, Man Utd & Liverpool included). Rob Green was absolutely fucking brilliant at Norwich - he went to West Ham and got injured IIRC. He does make mistakes but then so do all the others I listed amongst him. Robinson has been handed some harsh unfair criticism IMO, much like Seaman did in his early days at Arsenal.

Van der Sar too. I've never really been a fan of Van der Saar and not just because of the club he plays for. I think he's massively over-rated and can quite as easily have a shite game than play a blinder. Cech is away on his own IMO with Given next in line. Behind that you've got the likes of Friedal, Reina, Van der Saar, Jaaskelainen, Niemi, James, Robinson & Green who I think are generally all on a par.

Very good points
