Uninspired, negative drivel - sadly all we can expect or hope for. What was that shit about Pardew proving he isn't a negative coach? - fuck right off.

I'm not paranoid but I know all of you bastards think I am. (Jerry Sadowitz)

83-84 -young, drunk and stupid - good football a bonus.

Had to laugh at the US Defence secretary - "they're well funded and well armed" - yes - by your allies and you.

Shrugging our shoulders through gritted teeth at Ashley's financial cuntishness shouldn't mean we underestimate a player's quality imo.

The only times we've competed properly with good teams over the last 3 years, Tiote has been central to it - I can't believe people think it's okay to lose quality and settle for second best (at best). This especially applies as we look to have increased the quality options for him to pass to in Cabella and De Jong.

I've just assumed he has a new lass who's perked pardew's interest. There's no football reason for giving him another chance.

Goes back to my point about professional footballers - eg Sissoko - not being able to hit the target from inside the box - should dock the fuckers' wages.

Haven't seen anyone else mention him but Colback was canny/on the verge of very good. Aarons and Obertan are the classic looked good againt amateurs but not good enough against quality - the former obviously at least having promise, the latter being a waste of time on every level.

Two clubs in absolute crisis at the time who both offed their manager.

I'm surprised at the sensible post given he looks like a post-lobotomy Nicholson in Cuckoo's nest.

Fair enough but Hopsitality?

TBF I don't really suspect someone who's had his fair share of younger but adult tottie over the years and been quite honest about it. Compared to a holier than thou supposedley asexual bloke amyway.

Anyone who doesn't have that reaction to that picture is a write-off as a human being as far as I'm concerned.

On a point of order we wouldn't have finished fifth without Cisse's arrival.

The Highway code states that when overtaking a bike or motorbike you're supposed to imagine it to be the same width as a car to determine whether it's safe. Therefore single or double file is irrelevant.

I completely get the concept of pre-seson friendlies and when I've gone to them in the past I've treated them completely as kickabouts. The only slight moan I've had is when they travel abroad and knowing there are exiles who haven't seen us for a while if at all, they put zero effort in or play kids - the NZ trip this year being a good exception to that. Having said that, considering last season I think it's fair to view these games as a chance to see how the problems have been approached. This includes new players obviously but also things like looking for a better attitude (even knowing they're friendlies) and signs of freshness and a bit of gelling. My point above was that I've seen nothing in the action I've watched to suggest any positive signs at all (maybe Aarons but that's about it). With only two more friendlies after today to get the "first 11" playing together I think concern for the Man City game is warranted.

All of the friendlies have just been a continuation of the second half of last season, Abysmal defending, too open a midfield and absolutely fuck all created. He has never shown any sign of knowing how to address this and his tactics and motivation are non-existent.

Thing is whether or not the personnel changes, the exact same issues remain which is why I expect nothing until the shitbag is sacked.

Watched The Daily Show last night (Thursday's edition) and the cease fire coincided with Israel running out of ammo and having to ask the US for a refill which was granted immediately.

So they didn't demand it or indeed wage a terrorist campaign to influence its creation?

Jerry Sadowitz certainly named him but there's no proof that was "knowledge" rather than malice

Good luck Stevie. My DVT treatment is going well and my calf is almost normal but they want to follow-up with a couple of tests to see if there's an underlying cause - my paranoia is sure they're going to find somenthing from a House episode which only 20 humans have ever had.

It also explains the homophobia especially virulent in the Tory party - resentment from boarding school abuse. Ironically of course that kind of child abuse has nothing to do with normal homosexuality.

I think the non-creationist view is that throughout our existence, humans have sought out the planet's hallucongenics so controlling them seems "unnatural" in that sense.
