On the hardcourt anyway. Besides, Rafael Nadal hasn't had the chance to prove otherwise.

Yes, as you will. Thanks for your input.

So how does this bloke fair on the football pitch, really? Not interested in the 5 second youtube segments or the fact he's black and athletic. Can he cope with the Premier League and will he be effective?

Must be something in the air. I made a bunch tonight, for a dinner party. But, but, but... I used chicken stock cubes instead of beef. Looking forward to great sex tonight.

Well done to the Brit.

Yes. What the fuck?!?

Some clowns here have called it a worse act than Tyson biting Holyfield's ear. What a fucking nanny state I live in...

I've assumed that scenario. Better that than to assume he's fucked some dirty slag as has been going around and that's his reason why he wants to return to Argentina. The other stuff about him refusing to play are further rumours. Unsubstantiated - yes, the ultimate professional so far - yes.

Better a French clique than an English one. Have a look at the state of the squad without the French influence.

If this is due to his wife being ill, than loan him out to San Lorenzo and sort this out (his transfer fee) after the season ends whether that is to another European club (as Argie clubs are skint) or not. Mike Ashley and Derek Lliambis are cunts, they have no compassion, I can understand why Coloccini has taken a stance where he refuses to play. This shit isn't ideal but neither is him having to deal with serious illness to his missus.

He doesn't need any bonuses or any other payments, the man is set for life in Argentina, financially. I'd like to think it is something a bit more respectable like a family illness or his family's homesickness rather than the "I shagged a Sharon" line.

No, I know. Just havin a laugh, mate.

You mean Perth... 5 hr plane ride west from where I am mate. You didn't think I was him at any stage did you?

Northbridge, Nth Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

I'm in Australia mate. All Premier League games are free (part of the Pay-TV package we have here on FOX Sports). Championship games, along with Bundesliga games and Copa Libetadores games are show on Setanta Sports, which costs extra, and a channel I don't have. Not that any of this matters in the grander scheme of things mind.

This shows things aren't so good at the training ground and are being kept away from the general public expertely. Effort and results to back that up too. We are up the shitter big style it appears.

Explains why he's been shite for a large part of the season now. Fuckin hell the timing of it all though.

There's no use getting rid of Pardew, there never was, but it'll probably happen now - Ashley's only response to this current situation will be just that i reckon. Ah well, fuck, I'll have to pay extra to watch the Championship on Setanta next season.

If this is true we'll need two centre halves. We are fucked now!

Made this last night. Only thing I added was one celery stalk chopped (along with the leaves), and I also added fresh basil (I have a heap of it in the garden) at the "carrots to the pan" stage. A little watery after simmering for 2 hrs (might add 0.5-1 tblsp of tomato paste next time) but nevertheless it was still lush and very enjoyable.

My overriding point was we need to build from the back rather than from the front (this season). The sooner we get our better players, currently injured, who have the ability to retain possession, the sooner we'll be right.

Not giving 100% anymore. Distracted by a move to a 'bigger' club or distracted by the fact some of the bigger names of the squad are on the injury list and feels he should do it all, so-to-speak.

TBF the need for a CB is much greater for me. We need to stop leaking pathetically weak goals and build from there.

We won't be relegated. There are teams above and below who have worse squads and tougher fixtures. Reading, Southampton, Villa and West Ham will be in the shit so long as we get a bit of luck having our best players return and stay fit. I'm not one to gloat but I always knew this season was going to be shite - not 2 points from relegation after New Years shite - but shite all the same. The squad is tiny, Europa League is a massive distraction, and we rode our luck with injuries last season. Only a fool like Ashley would think the stars would align for a second year straight. A lesson well learnt so long as we avoid relegation, we have to expect growing pains from a management team who know fuck all about football until the experience hits them square in the face. That is what supporting NUFC is all about these days.

So how long has climate change study been going on for? How old is the earth? Fuck off!
