Especially putting the Pompey result into the context of how utterly wank they are. Hang on - hope yet

Who is the this cunt co-commentating on the stream? I actually want to kill him more than Ashley/Kinnear/Dean/Taylor/Heskey,Cattermole or Butt.

What's the agenda and who pays for cosmology research which I think is the magic bullet when it comes to showing up religion?

Where the fuck is Jo? - absolute dross.

I've always thought Berbatov was over-rated - and that was before the £30m - decent player but couldn't help noticing how he always had a niggle which stopped him playing at our place.

The most we've heard from him is when he was overheard by punters in that bar in Dubai saying he was going to wallop KK. Objection, your honour; unsubstantiated hearsay. Which tbf he didn't deny in a statement.

The only slight thing I have against him on the injury front is I got the feeling in 06 that he took him time coming back deliberately to be fresh for the world cup and I couldn't help thinking if he had had a few more games he wouldn't have fucked his knee. I'm willing to admit that's my Newcastle is everything/England is nothing viewpoint coming through.

It's not pay rise or bonus time for us but I did get a nice email off the chairman thanking me for my efforts (with an undercurrent of be thankful we aren't screwed).

The thing is TI I'm all for free speech but people who hold responsible positions have to consider that responsibility when giving an opinion. Despite the supposed infallibility/link to God a pope has a shit load of advisors who are there to either help him put opinions correctly or to do what they should have done here and politely tell him his comments will be used against the church. I saw one comment on the Guardian site which had a different angle - the pope was basically stating that humans are either born/created male or female and that's it. Now putting homosexuality aside the scientific truth is that they are not - transgenderism can be an innate feature of someone which then suggests that once again the church is denying science. This in addition to denying that homosexuality is natural - as seen elsewhere in nature. You know my position is to delight in religious fuckups as it almost does my job for me but at the same time if I was a member of the church I think I'd have the right to ask him what the fuck he was thinking of - in that I almost feel sorry for ordinary decent catholics.

That's certainly why I've only been to two games so far - though my seat is still being used.

Always felt the same about Shearer/Lennon (though I still think Graham Kelly made up the Shearer quit threat).

Slight point of order but the L7 Milburn (non-family) prices were actually reduced. Fair enough. I didn't realise although that does ring a bell. They were pretty expensive poreviously too iirc. I said at the time that it was a case of hats off to Mort/Ashley - I think they judged that area as part of the changes and realised we'd been overcharged in the past.

As opposed to the Polack or usual Wop?

I think we all agree that the PR of the club since Ashley came has been poor. In that context they made a major break when they announced the contract offer in August. We have now found that it was being charitable not as generous as they made out. If it was opening shot in a negotiation as you imply Baggio why did the make such a big deal out of it?

Ah but the real reason the catholic church is so anti-homosexual sex isn't because of a moral reason - its practical - it means less chance of new recruits. This is the same reason they are against heterosexual non-reproductive sex even in marriage. As George Carlin said its all about the numbers. Of course it should go without saying that over-population is infinitely more of a threat to the planet than a few gays.

If heterosexuality (read breeding) is to be cherished, what does that make a notionally celibate organisation? There is usually a lot of shared good will between people at this time of the year - nice to see him sabotaging that.

That's his downfall - he doesn't have the instinct or the intelligence however you want to put it to know when to pass, when to cross and when to take on a man - he needs to realise this and concentrate on improving before he thinks he deserves a better club. I think he has the talent but he needs a good coach/manager to move forward - I hope its with us but as I said I see him as too much of a saleable asset for the current regime.

Was it not him Babayaro got done for for twatting? I agree with you but its about time it wasn't just us who were done for these kind of things.

I always expected him to be sold in January along with Owen.

On the contrary, Shearer must wonder why he fucking bothered... We seemed soooo desperate to keep him that we couldn't offer him a contract until now. The latter of which I think worth repeating exposes another regime lie.

He won't want to sign for a club in turmoil with no ambition without seeing how it turns out (if anything changes) but that won't matter as Ashley will now sell him in January.

Ashley sticking his hand in his pocket at all seems crazy. The pocket where he put the change from buying Xisco with the Milner money?

Haven't got used to the brave new world - I thought hmm - about £5m - no - thats £8m.

They count things like the one where a deflection took all the sting out of a shot and Shay picked it up with no effort - meaningless.
