  1. "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.
  2. Just won £195 on the Avengers slot machine on Bet365 casino. Fuck sports betting.
  3. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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"
  7. Nowt on l'equipe's website or twitter account, in spite of everycunt naming them as their source in their tweets.

    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.
  9. 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.

  17. I think that's how they want it, Puma are gimps like. It's difficult to tell when so many aspects of it look like manufacturing errors.
  18. How come on his left hand side the blue line touches the black stripe at the bottom, but on the right there's a white gap? Can they not even make it fucking symmetrical? http://i.imgur.com/scZTJww.jpg
  19. http://i.imgur.com/9tV2GDS.png What in the fuck is hearing aid beige, really, have colours become that pretentious.
  20. What colour is that stripe around the cuffs? Hearing-aid beige? or is it supposed to be gold?
  21. Fucking hell, that's worse than it even looked in the leaks.

    Maybe he thinks from a religious and ethical standpoint that charging a little bit of interest is a bit wrong, but charging a lot of interest is a lot wrong? Doesn't seem to be a totally whacked out, paradoxical and absolutely illogical position to hold. It seems like the kind of position most people have on most things.

    Gambling doesn't seem minor: http://www.islamawareness.net/Gambling/gambling_fatwa001.html I've read plenty of stuff like this over the past few weeks and like i said weeks ago that pic of him in the casino will change everything. But the basis behind Islam's stance on gambling is that it's wrong because for you to win, someone else has to lose. So gambling with a guy who has very little and potentially taking the last of his money would be more sinful than gamblign against a casino where they can afford to pay it. Most reports have cited both his 'religious and moral beliefs' so I don't see how it can't be a combination of the two unless he's a full on dogmatic religious zealot. Contraceptives are apparently a major no-no for Catholics, but it seems rank and file are happy to ignore it, while still citing their faith on other beliefs. If Wonga didn't lend to people who couldn't pay the money back, they'd likely go out of business. Payday lenders get 50% of their income from fees and charges for late payments, not the interest they make such a big deal about informing peope of upfront.
