We're in the unfortunate position whereby lots of NUFC fans love to hate Spurs. They complain when they read the Spurs stuff but still can't help themselves from doing so and commenting on it. It's canny easy to ignore if you really want to.

The smarm-ometer is close to exploding MJ.

I've got Nobby 15 on mine. Appropriate.

Man U hoying the toys out of the pram by getting FIFA involved is the worst thing they could have done. It acknowledges that his head has been turned. Any tapping up that goes on now will be very discrete and they'll get in his ear without anyone even knowing. They'd have been better off making a tit-for-tat bid for Casillas and Ramos imo.

I'm sure Gerrard gives an extra 10% when Lampard isn't on the park! He steps it up a notch so it appears that Lampard is the weak link. Or maybe it's just co-incidence...

Police forces disagree. Aye, fair point. Just don't see what there is to be gained by the game tonight. A genuinely meaningless game.

Wish we still had the Home Internationals. This is wank.

Really thought Capello would have had the bollocks to get rid of the dead wood and blood a few youngsters. Very disappointing.

Absolutely. But in the one-off game I thought they'd be better than Donny.

Never expected that one like!

The only problem I've got with Ashton is his injury record. I think he's a canny player and would be good in the Viduka role but he just gets injured far too much. We couldn't rely on him to get fit (and stay fit) for any significant length of time, which is a shame.

He's never going to get up to 50 goals if he keeps crying off with shit like this. Lazy little bastard...

How funny would it be?

This belongs in the 'Realistic pre-season opponent' thread.

...in the air as much as possible.

Worth £60m to the winning team apparently.

Well we can scrub the Rangers one off the list now then.

I can hear the Aberdonians boarding up their windows from here. You'll see the smoke for miles...

It's got to be said that Celtic look very very ordinary.

Aberdeen one up.

We could have won something during Sir Bobby's days if we had Weir. Even now, an aging Weir would be value add to us. Rather Taylor plays like the current Weir rather than like himself. A load of bollocks tbh, he was average at best. You're making out David Weir is f***ing Maldini and would've made our defence solid just by his mere presence... Am I about to get whooshed? Weir in his prime was not average at all. He'd be no use to you know obviously but he's easily better than any defender I can remember you having over the same period bar Woodgate. Man Utd were sniffing round him at one point. I'm guessing they signed Blanc instead? Not taking the piss there btw

Did a good job all things considered and I'd have liked him to have stayed. I'm a bit annoyed that we're most probably back to square one in regards appointing someone who has to learn the ropes from scratch again. Got to respect his wishes though and he's got a family to consider too. Cheers Morty and good luck.
