Drank by fans of those soppy ties with 3 ducks on them, quite possibly during an appearance on the hit man and her Think Adamant's been a bit up down all his life...he sold out the O2 in Bournemouth last month...canny good by all accounts....

All ticket everywhere else round these parts, I think the surcharge was to pay for the (dreadful) band they had on...the whole area round that boozer has been yuppiefied in the last decade or so; been polluted by new money types from nearby Sandbanks. Theres a big park in the centre of the area,it used to be full of dossers and drunks and you could could get a good lock in in two or three of the down at heel bars dotted around it; now its full of yummy mummies pushing tank sized buggies around and twats drinking champagne. Asahi is lovely as you say and used to be available in quite a few supermarkets in bottles very cheaply. There used to be another one called Sapporo where you got it in a can and had to somehow "unrap" it and pour it into a glass; there was a time in the late eighties when drinking out of cans (Schlitz,red stripe etc) in bars was the height of cool in some circles

You dont leave them up till 12th night/Epiphany then?...my old dear thinks its bad luck to take them down before then....Mrs PL wanted to take them down boxing day! We were in a newish bar up the road last night...a pint of yer actual Japanese Asahi beer?....four pound fuckin ninety five pence, plus a 10% surcharge for NYE= the most expensive pint outside of a major city in the UK....I'd imagine anyway... I stuck to Timothy Taylors ale, looking like a refugee from the Rovers Return in amongst the bottles of Veuve Cliqot(?) and Prosecco....what a bunch of pretentious twats.

Take more water with it Gene

More good news from .com: If our understanding of the UEFA regulations is correct, Debuchy would be eligible to appear for Newcastle in this season's Europa League, despite previously playing for Lille in the Champions League: 18.18 For all matches from the start of the round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition. Such registration must be completed by 1 February 2013. 18.19 One player from the above quota of three who has been fielded in a UEFA club competition group stage match for another club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded: a) in the same competition for another club; or for another club that is currently in the same competition. Lille won a two-legged Champions League playoff to advance through to the Champions League Group Stage. They then finished bottom of their group, meaning that they exited from the Champions League but failed to qualify for the Europa League. (Debuchy was red-carded against Valencia but has served the one match ban that he received).

He'll maybe just be getting the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry after we play Brighton on the 5th, its nearby after all Its looking like the people who spoke to Chelsea on his behalf may not even know him. Or some people who have no real connection with him are touting him around generally...Sky Andrew has just been on 5live saying as much. And whingeing about it. Imagine that. An agent moanng about the tricks other agents pull. Oh the fucking ironing.

5live sports monkey said the same half hour ago......there hasnt been any club who has made an offical offer of £7.5mill to activate the release clause, and in so doing getting the right to speak to the player's agents. Same as the Ferguson thing on Boxing Day....no one in football is punishing either the likes of Chelsea or Ba's agents for this. But then I imagine NUFC would have to make an official complaint, and if you start to try to gain a bit of power back from players' agents in general then theyre very likely not to want to do business with you again. Thats how they keep the power. Cunts.

If he's determined to go protecting that knee of his may be a bigger priority for him

Bung him a 500k till the end of the season to stay,then let him go where the fuck his henchmen want him to go next summer. It would be well worth paying iyam.

If we sell Ba and go down after failing to hit a barn door with a banjo goal wise between now and May will the clubs unwillingness to try to match his wage offers from other clubs look like a false economy?....give him a rise and ask him to stay till the end of the season us how id play it....getting rid of the clubs main goal scorer in January without much of a fight seems ludicrous to me.

Sounds like the thought processes of Freddie Shepherd and Douglas Hall around August bank holiday weekend, 2004 Be careful what you wish for CT.....

So banshee is the Oslo 2?.....or have I got all that wrong too?....

He's picking Marveux who's doing very well as you predicted CT....so he's got that wrong too, or your just on the wind up again?

The midfield gave up at the end like. The subs were made at 4-3(?) and suddenly wee Shane had 3 players to mark in the build up to the 5th goal. Where the fuck was his cover? Obertan gave the ball away for another and just stood there.

Take away the last 20 mins last night, did we play as well as we did v manu?... Add in the last 20 mins, why did no other away team in the prem yesterday seemingly run out of gas and give up?..especially when you had a decent away point at 17 mins left on the clock..Arsenal didn't play boxing day, but all the rest bar West Ham did. Squad size?...or did playing v two of the most potent forward lines in Europe in 3 days eventually just take its toll? Both? What the fuck has happened to Tiote? Last seasons 100% pass completion stats look like a sick joke now. Santon is a decent footballer but a poor defender. An Everton win on the 2nd is going to see the knives out, a cup exit to Brighton will see a few of them being thrown in the direction of Pardew, rightly or wrongly. He'll do well to survive January under those circumstances at most large-ish clubs, but second guessing how Ashley would react to things getting worse is pointless. Lack of an obvious decent other option will keep Pardew safe...for the moment. Who the fuck is going to want join us next month in this state?....still don't think we'll go down but this season is turning out to be a huge missed oppurtunity, and could get worse before it gets better...but I think it will in the long run.

That was admitttedly flippant; but the Daily Mail gossip column? that doesnt constitute journalism, thats looking at twitter and agency pics. And I expect the contacts made will come in handy. If you fancy a job in the press office of the Countryside Alliance or UKIP. Do you work in the media?...in the interests of accuracy I'd like to point out am not Irish...

Go and get a real job?

What have I posted that makes you think I care what he thinks of us? Am not moaning about his comments about us,I really couldnt give a fuck about anyones opinions about the size of NUFC, mainly because as you've pointed out they are usually made to wind us up. I'm more concerend about one of the most blatant cases of cheating the English game has seen in modern times which will go completley un punished. This isnt a player diving which the ref only sees for a milli second, and its not the (very sadly) completley legal practice of "financial doping" i.e. Chelsea,man city,PSG etc.This was very public, and there are rules against it which the FA seem incapable of using, possibly because of collusion with the man himself, which is the only logical explanation I can come up with for this, that he got at Dean after the game too. So if I'm wound up its not because he's taking the piss out of NUFC, but that does show him in a very particular light; complelty denigrating the club of the manager he "would put no other an inch above" as he said when Sir Bobby died....it takes a special sort of erm "winner" to sully his fine words at that time just so he can deflect attention away from the issues surrounding the game the other day. "love the game more than the prize, because without the game, there is no prize" Thats from Sir Bob's biography, Ferguson could learn a lot from him.

Takes a wummer to know a wummer eh CT?

If we get past Brighton we could get manu in the cup.... You'll notice that no one is now talking about rvp twatting Colo in the face just before he scored, or Valencia's career threatning challenge on Anita, both unpunished, or Mike Dean failing to mention the on pitch intimidation of 3 different match officials by a team manager in his match report. Its the oldest trick in the book. Deflect criticism away from the team and manager by saying something utterly ridiculous. Ferguson has acheived a lot in football but every single one of those acheivements are tarnished by him seeking to gain an advantage over the opposistion by intimidating officials. This is partly true to one extent or another for all the trophies he's won so he's basically in part won them through bullying and cheating, yet he demands respect for this record, partly acheived by cheating. The thing is respect has to be earned, its not the right of the biggest bully in the playground to get it automatically, because if he doesn't he may make your life a misery. He doesn't get any respect from the vast majority of supporters ultimately because we fuckin well know for a fact he has zero respect the game he claims to love. The FA are supposed to be the guardians of the game, but they have singularly completley bottled taking him on over this. They have allowed him and indeed the great manu cash generating machine to become untouchable. Its a pitiful state of affairs.

Not really bothered by these comments, he's just playing "the game" he always plays.Doesn't alter the fact that the man's a fuckin hypocrite and a bully and every single one of his acheivements in the game are tainted by the impression that he's intimidated officials to win them. Dean should be fuckin ashamed of himself too. If he's appointed to another game at Old Trafford or indeed any game involving manu what is the first thing the visiting teams, managers and supporters will think? The media will sweep all this under the carpet and move on to the next hot topic in the next week and behave as if nothing's changed but this is a bit of a watershead iyam. Redknapp and Mancini are in trouble with the FA for their comments about refs after their club's games on boxing day and Dean doesn't even refer to Ferguson intimidating 3 different officials from the side of the pitch. What a fuckin joke.

So in one fail swoop the FA leave their own "Respect" campaign in fuckin tatters. Words fail me. Theyve punished this fucker before so am not sure why theyre not doing it after yesterdays shocking scenes. What chance have officals got now? How can the FA tell parents at bairn's games to behave themselves on the touchlines? This is the fuckin end like. The FA have a difficult job and I often find myself sympathising with them but if they cant stand up to this fucker over this then they are basically refusing to help themsleves.

That pair of strap ons Savage and Gray said on the bbc earlier that was only a foul and not worthy of any other action. So raking your studs over the shin of another player is ok in their book. Add to that the general air of celebration they created when manu's 4th went in and as LTB says not even a fuckin mention of the foul on motd. What a bunch of cunts.

Biggest one on here, bless his cotton socks Am sure he's a good lad really....when he's not calling for the managers head in mid November

This is worse than being there...those cunts on the BBC have said it was only a foul on Anita
