  1. Wolfy, an un related question, but this is basically your mental thread of everything, so here goes:

     

    In playing the lottery, which combination of numbers is more likely to come up as the winning set of numbers:

     

    a: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

     

    or

     

    b: 5, 17, 21, 35, 38 and 40.

     

    I look forward to your response.

  2. I refuse to give this potential mass murderer any more of my time by replying to him. Biggest waste of time in Toontastic's 9 year history.

     

    I used to frequent a forum years back that had a 'fuckwit' clause. It meant that the mods could ban anyone who was broadly agreed to be a fuckwit even if they hadn't broken any board rules. I urge the consideration of this rule here.

    If Sports Direct hits its profits target this week, then many members will receive shares worth 44,000 each, as a reward for the company doing so well.

     

    Mike Ashley clearly thinks that helping hard-working shop workers with their housing is more important than helping mega-rich football stars double their 5-figure salaries.

     

    What do people think of this kind of prioritising?

     

    The dramatic recovery of Sports Direct's fortunes will see thousands of staff handed bonuses worth an average of £44,000 each if the discount sportswear chain hits its profits targets this week

     

    What an absolute spacka of a WUM. Yeah, so that'll be the top execs getting bonuses of 100k+ and the plebs getting their £500 voucher. The big boys get the bonuses, and the little shop staff and middle managers will get fuck all.

     

    What this has to do with our spending policy is beyond me though, i couldn't give a fuck if he sacked the whole lot of Sports Direct if it meant him actually spending some actual money.

  4. An absolute shambolic, discgraceful decision, people going on as though you can pluck 12 goal midfielders out of anywhere for knock down prices FFS

     

    Pardew has absolutely no spine at all, if this was any other club in the Premiership the manager would walk, not one manager with any self-respect would have players being sold without their say and having the board build a team what they think is gonna do well and not the manger

     

    We shouldnt be selling anyone when we've just received £35 million, and people going on about oh £5 million good business, like shyte is it, we dont need that money when we've received the Carroll money, our squad is paper thin, and needs to be built on not dismantled which is going to happen

     

    Our core players are gonna be wondering what they hell they are doing here, when the captain of the team is being sold

     

    Spot on. All of it.

  5. He shouldn't have made assurances and guarantees which he, and most of us, knew he couldn't actually keep. And within hours of going against his one and only guarantee of retaining Carroll, he then goes on to guarantee that the whole £35mil will be spent on the team. He's a mouthpiece of Ashley's crew, and is as much of a joke as Kinnear was.

  6. Don't get the Enrique bashing, our best player by a mile in the first half. Second half he was on the opposite side of the pitch, so view wasn't great of him, but clearly asleep for the goal and lost the ball a couple of times in the final third, but no worse than anyone else. I didn't realise Guthrie was playing and Lovenkrands only contribution that i can think of was the throw in when Ranger had his chance.

     

    Hangeland bossed our front two, not that it was difficult and we had no pace to get behind them, so goals would have come from a set piece or a fluke.

  7. I wasn't that close to pitch level, but from where I was, Pardew wasn't getting any stick at all when he walked past the fans as he was coming out late for the second half. He was actually getting a reasonable amount of support as he walked across. I just don't get that at all.

     

    Apart from two half hearted anti-ashley song attempts, there didn't seem anything in terms of any kind of protest against how things were run. I was expecting the atmosphere a bit more hostile following Carroll's sale. I suppose they can continue shitting on us without any real reaction.
