Ugly Mackems

They will tear us a new arsehole without a doubt. Could easily be as bad as last season. Everton 1st half shows we are still an embarrassment at the back.

I personally have no problem with the sweaty socks. A fine race of people indeed. I do though detest Rangers and Celtic and the bigotry they* bring with them. *I'm happy to accept not all are bigots but they should being doing more to rid their own Clubs of these vile cretins.

Nothing wrong with bringing culture to the uncultured.

2 good size onions. Thumb size bit of fresh Ginger. 5/6 garlic cloves. Tbsp oil. << All in the blitzer and blitzed to pulp. Add to frying pan on gentle/medium heat for 10/15 mins or until it nicely starts to turn a light brown. In the cleaned blitzer a tin of tomatoes/half tin of water. 2tbsp Tom puree. Fresh chillies to taste (about 4/5 for me but they aren't shit hot) Blitz until smooth. Before adding the tomatoes to the onion add 1tsp, Coriander, Cumin, Turmeric, Paprika + chilli powder to taste to the browned onion mix. Cook on for 5 mins or so then add the toms. Bring to steady boil then add 3 diced chicken breasts. Boil on for 1hr stirring regular. 10 mins before ready half a sliced onion for a bit crunch and then fresh coriander the last moment. Bit basic but nicely tastey all the same. Enough for three decent portions. With plain Basmati rice.

Excellent result but we were carved open a few times and luckily Benteke was in the build up and not on the end of the moves. Agbons sitter - ha ha ha. Santon was exposed for too often with a simple pass beyond him. Not complaining though.

If Remy starts I can see us getting something. Still got 8 seats with tickets (if needed) on the bus.

Mapou Yanga-Mboumsong. Yes?

I'd guess the box office is being ran on an absolute shoestring. Note they made Harpers testimonial 'online only' With the arrival of the ten year deals the need to fully staff the box office is gone. We generally take the minimum number of 'away' allocations. And as someone who deals with 100's of away tickets each season I can confirm the wrong address theory as being my biggest bugbear - after I spend fuck knows how much time sorting everything into the relevant 'groups' they still send them any-fucking-where they choose to.

To be fair ... Pardew goes a long way to making it an 'utterly joyless experience' I firmly believe that squad of players (even without new signings) shouldn't be finishing 5th bottom or starting this season with not a shot on target in the first 180 minutes. Agree in general though that the Club as a whole is being worn down to a level where survival is going to be the mainstay. Ashley wants his money back.

Yes, I can acquire any tickets that you might require. Let me know if want to jump on.

Still a few seats remaining if anyone has the urge. Always a decent day out at Villa. Can supply a ticket or two if required.

£28 Rtn. Pick ups N Shields / Toon / Washy Services. Stop off for a Shandy on route - back straight after with brief restock for return journey. I can also help out with match tickets if required. Drop me an email toonaway@aol.com (or PM) (Can anyone build me a 1 (maybe 2) page website for a reasonable fee?? Contact via email above, thanks)

Doesn't wanna park there for too long.

"I was so nervous about making this speach but I was talking to >>insert name of person who works with old people<< he/she asked me to come down to the old folks home/ward and practice the speach.... It went down well...they all pissed themselves....." Was roughly how my mate opened - it went down quite positively.

At Upton Park!

For those arriving by train into Kings Cross. Head over to St Pancras Int. The high speed train takes 6 minutes to Stratford Int. Costs £7ish Rtn. Runs every 10/20 mins. A very short bus shuttle at Stratford Int takes you to Stratford. About 2/3 mins. There are drinking establishments aplenty in Stratford. From Stratford its a 15 minute bus journey or £7 in a taxi up to the ground. With engineering works on the underground I've just saved you a right fuck on!

Back 4 Simpson-Taylor-Colo-Mbiwa Simpson is no worse than pretty boy Debuchy. Is he fit?

You'll be surprised that a team of what look like very good players can be so piss poor.

Sell Tiote and we'll only owe £17.5m

You pay peanuts you get .... When Pardew took over it wasn't clear what the business model was or where the Club might be heading. It's crystal clear now and i'd be confident a better quality coach / manager could be enticed. Are we happy to suggest Pardew is a head coach figure rather than what would be percieved as a 'manager' in it's normal sense. IE; Player recruitment. Does anyone think Pardew gets the final yes or no on a player? Or, is a player added to the squad who fits the Ashley remit. Maybe Pardews involvement is dentifying positions to strengthen.

We need a better head coach. Hanging on to Pardew will be what holds the Club back. The talent of the players exceeds the talent of the head coach.

Drop a pm if interested.

Keegan was a busted flush when he came back. It was likely the fact he was skint that led him back in the first place - remember his football circus for fucks sake.Took a nice £2m for his troubles does a bit for ESPN to top it up. Nice bit of pension wedge.
