Irish Stifler, Irish.

Bridge swings into Toon. Or something like that. Hopefully the monstrous cunt isn't coming here though.

Love it how his stock has fallen immediately he signs for someone else. Cracking signing for Villa - £9.5m (in today's market) is fairly modest and I wish he was here. No point saying 'I'm not bothered, he's average, blah, blah'when he's clearly a very good player.

Completely unacceptable situation to put Tiote in. No way should one of our best, most important players be in Accra training by himself whilst also trying to sort out the fucking mess he's got every right to expect his employers to sort for him. Can't imagine this happening at any other club - at least not one playing at the same level as we are. Fucking thick amateurs.

You're bang on Yorkie.

Forlan?

Have I missed something?

If it was significant/true it would be the headline tomorrow. They wouldn't keep it until Sunday. It's complete bollocks.

Bellamy.

What's the context of said phrase mate? Never heard it.

What's Klinsmann up to these days?

Parkside Mencap.

Set piece? Dunno just flashed up on SSN, can't find it online, just the Fulham game which has been dire. Jonathan Walters scores a headed goal from just inside the edge of the penalty box. Stoke 1-0 Hajduk Split. 18 yard header?

Set piece?

Liverpool getting dicked by Galatasaray atm. 2-0 but it could have been 3 or 4 just coming up to HT. Ch 434 if anyone's interested.

Just hope everyone behaves themselves after Darlington. If Smith plays I also hope he impresses Leeds because they may be the only fuckers daft enough to take him.

Sliced bread.

Smokescreen for a different striker imo.

4 + an inevitable 3 or 4 more through suspension. I'm actually cautiously optimistic that having an effective partner (Cabaye) next to him should mean he picks up less silly bookings. Nolan, for all the goals he scored, was pretty anonymous in loads of games in general play which meant Tiote was in the middle of the park without too much support. We'll see.

That list just confirms that we shouldn't even give Smith a place in the 25, we've got more than enough cover in the middle of the park. I've got high hopes for Cabaye despite not actually seeing much of him. Reading the opinions of lots of people he seems to be an absolute gem and will dovetail with Tiote nicely. Tiote's going to miss a chunk of the season (4 games in total, 3 of them away...) and we'll need someone to come in and be a bit of a destroyer. It might not be his natural game but Gosling might need to do the job.

Honestly think his head was turned in February with promises of a move to on of a few 'big' clubs who fancied him coming in on a bit a cheapie. Definitely Liverpool, maybe Arsenal too. This interest in February hasn't materialised into a definite bid this summer with those clubs doing a bit of wheeling and dealing and Enrique now looks a bit stupid. He's clearly frustrated and unsettled about the lack of investment of the Carroll fee but he's got to deal with the reality of the situation and accept he's going to be a Newcastle player in the short-term so he needs to get his head down and play well for us this season to get his move next summer. All imo obviously.

Is Onuoha still available for a loan? Heard nothing of him this summer.

Wonder if Mancini would lend us Dzeko for a year? We could pay at least 20% of his wages?

France Pot 2! It's possible for England, France, Wales, ROI and Scotland to be in the same group. Would love that. 45 mins football, 45 mins rugby.

Draw for the 2014 World Cup is on Saturday. England are in Pot 1 if anyone's interested. All of the info is on fifa.com
