The scoreboard might explode when it has to do double digits and give one of them a nasty burn?

Manchester City have loads of money, we can't compete with that. And we have to play them twice a season, at least.

No he didn't Col. The "I have to pick the team I feel will get us the result" stuff seemed to be trying to say he didn't pick him because he didn't think he'd play well, with the implication being that was because he was unsettled by the bid.

If you had to give him the benefit of the doubt, you'd hope he meant on a season basis, but it's still a fucking stupid thing to say. Pretty much the entire league can't compete with man City financially, you don't hear one manager per week bemoaning the fact they have to play them and how it's unfair and they have no chance.

"We can't compete with their squad. It's impossible. But it's 11 against 11"

Trying to imply he dropped him because his head wouldn't be in the right place?

City players all warming up in Trautmann keeper kits. Doing that daft thing with a laccy band tying their calfs together.

Not even at the stadium.

Seems to have joined twitter to hawk some supplement pyramid marketing scheme he's gotten involved in Massive game for #nufc tomorrow, chocolate oranges are available from Rawlinsons.

Collins, Amorebieta, M Turner, Vlaar.......cant think of many others Garrido and S.Taylor aswell Luna at Villa? Look likely to be starting left-back, 4.5. Three horrible games to start the season though.

"If one of the big clubs comes with a massive offer we will have to react to that." Well that certainly needed to be said.

Just won £195 on the Avengers slot machine on Bet365 casino. Fuck sports betting.

Also David Crossan ‏@davidmcrossan #Aulas most recent quotes on #Gomis here (in French). Says Gomis needs to sign new contract to play for OL again: http://mercato.eurosport.fr/football/transferts/2012-2013/transfert-aulas-ol-si-gomis-veut-envisager-des-choses-nouvelles-avec-l-ol-il-doit-prolonger_sto3875907/story.shtml …

Sounds like a lass on Facebook. "Jane Smith thinks SOME people need to look at themselves before slagging off other people!!!" Either grow a pair and say who you're talking about or shut up.

uhhhh wow thats a new level of self delusion I've seen this reaction from Scousers after every report on it. "Hah, as usual NO QUOTES,continue lapping up the nonsense of the shit stirring media you gullible FOOLS!" I can't believe the Guardian has now even made a fully functioning latex and hydraulic Suarez automaton to spew their LIES about him wanting to leave. I'm glad the Suarez thread on RAWK has been locked for the last 5 hours to prevent discussion of it.

Mate who went to St Mirren reckons there were chants of "Kinnear, woooaaah, Kinnear, woooah, we hope you get the sack - or have a heart attack"

Nowt on l'equipe's website or twitter account, in spite of everycunt naming them as their source in their tweets.

Good line up!

There's regularly 'dumb criminal' stories where people get caught because they commit a crime with their own name tattooed on their face. Waiting to happen.

Urgh, I'd forgotten about the blue lemon with NUFC on the back.

But it would break the law in most of Europe, is what I'm saying. Which is why these companies are all operating in the UK. I know that mate but as it stands they aren't breaking the law here, we need the same sort of laws as the ones you've shown, they would then abide by them or go to jail. Like i said it's up to our lawmakers now. Of course - but the fact that a contentious loophole could be closed at any time, making your sponsor's entire business illegal probably doesn't make them a particularly stable partner for the club, whatever you think of the morality of their currently legal operation.

No, it isn't. Wonga aren't getting this shit because someone's spun a roulette wheel and picked a company at random out of hundreds of equally bad companies to have a go at for no reason. If the owners of Wonga ran this operation in France or Germany they'd be thrown in jail as criminals. When you're sponsored by a company like that, it's can't really be a surprise that it attracts negative attention and causes problems and risks. Not least the risk that they'll be legislated out of existence. Are there any companies people wouldn't accept us being sponsored by? Is there any business practice where you can't just wave it away by saying 'Oh, other companies do bad things, therefore all companies are equally as bad'? Hey, let's be sponsored by heroin. I mean, people make the decision themselves to buy it, it's not the dealers fault. And some guys at Barclay's did something about Libor, I saw it on the news. Would they? http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/mar/27/wonga-off-club-websites http://www.leftfootforward.org/2012/11/payday-loans-crisis/

The main thing I take out of this is that sponsorship works. I can't remember anyone on here, ever, saying anything positive about Wonga before this deal. Now about 60% of the board will stand up for them against anything and everything, including our own players. Now as soon as anything shady is brought up, the reaction is to immediately deflect it by pointing the finger elsewhere.
