Meenzer excelling in the sarcacista role.

Who do you reckon he should play? I agree not Gouffran.

Aye.

Political electronic.

Definitely more options.

Have it.

I think we've got more options than last year.

I'd argue that the relative decline in form of Liverpool after they lost Suarez was the same relative loss of form to ours when we lost Cabaye. As i think most people still agree that Rodgers is a decent manager (although the snipes are easier to come by now he has Balotelli as a replacement), then its hard to be forgiving to one and not the other. As a mental exercise if you convert 2 heavy losses into draws (Mackems, bin-dippers etc) and the form book goes up by 2 points but the ferocity of opposition would have dropped (which is what i think), then it makes you think. Bottom line was that he had us playing very well and picking up lots of points then lost Remy to injury, Cabaye to PSG and 'arsedness' to our mid-table position. It was not acceptable after that but he has had to build or play with 4 separate teams in just 4 years as manager. 5 if you include the new system we are playing now rather than at the start of the season. As you say, get past Spurs and beat the mackems and i think he'll have repaired some of the damage. Then Ashley sells Sissoko and he turns into a cunt who cant talk proper again.

I think he's great. Solid player who adds a lot to the team. Is the reticence from some towards him only due to the post-derby photo?

Yes for the most part. I would have probably got rid after 6 or 7 games into this season as i thought there was a chance to get Moyes. Not before. Said that on here when felt he wasnt going to turn it round.

Nice to be on his side just before beating the champions elect though

Exactly. I was also massively into mushroom tea and the Ozrics.

Alex was a massive crusty, loved the Ozric Tentacles, mushroom tea and DIY trance parties. He lost his hair and re-invented himself as an urbane Detroit techno aficionado.

That's a bit forward.

"Pardew refuses to answer question on Sissoko's future" "Alan Pardew has revealed he wants Sissoko to stay at the club. However, with big clubs surely circling over the French midfield powerhouse, Pardew's refusal to speculate on his future suggests the manager is not confident of hanging on to him" Could go any way with the media.

"We have not had contact from anybody else or heard from anybody else, but I take the point (he could be a target for others)," What was the actual question which is carefully summarized in brackets? One reading could be 'Alan, Moussa has put in some terrific performances this season. He will now surely be interesting a lot of big clubs. Aren't you in danger of losing your best player again?' In which case his response is fairly normal as he cant say no. He sounds like he is responding to a point made by the journalist about clubs taking players like Cabaye and Debuchy away. As that's how the journalist has carefully written the exchange. Not particularly wanting to defend Pardew, it's been fairly obvious that Moussa is the next big profit margin but I don't think this is a case of Pardew 'touting' the player if you read the journalism properly. I suppose he could say he's not for sale at any price but then if he does get sold he would be rightly accused of being dishonest and a liar to the supporting public. Think i would prefer to hedge my bets too in that position.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Thought he was a goner for a minute there. Happy Birthday.

A full English in Paris is full hipster ironically enough. So I look cool as fuck asking for hash pay sauce.

Been given an award for his gobbledygook by the 'Clear English Society' or whatever they are called. For context, they praised Boris Johnson.

Agreed, nobody accuses Bill Gates of hypocrisy for his philanthropy.

That Lone album was approved by the 'Toontastic electronica committee' but like most stuff in that genre, it might not be to everyone's taste. Depends on what you are looking for. Electronic music that evokes dark nights chewing my own face off in the corner of a dancefloor floats my boat. Not that the Lone album does that particularly. Aphex Twin does at times. The Sun Kil Moon album only really makes sense when you listen to it all. Its a proper album.
