HAULED ON

Only found out last week that the final is in Amsterdam. Can you imagine?

When I see Wireside saying "League titles is the only was of measuring how big a club is" I mentally add "That we can come up with that would put us above the Mags"

First 'fit lass in crowd' shot, the tournament has begun.

Comparing our lowest attendance with their highest. Well, that's one way of managing to come out on top Can we compare our 68,386 attendance against Chelsea in 1930 against their 8,003 attendance vs Plymouth in 1989? Or their 6,904 against Barnsley in the FM Cup in 86?

Aye, but no Wio, Cwouch, Wichards, Cawwick, Fwank out, Gawwy knackered, Tewwy doubtful...

Is it just me or is almost everyone with an R in their name being left out of the England squad or withdrawn with injury?

Might wear my Ben Arfa France shirt down the pub for the match on Monday

Can you make bets like betting now on a certain player scoring in the final? Would like a few daft quids on something like that.

The crest looks like it should be on a real ale pump. Is anyone in Malaysia really going to give a shit about Cardiff just because they play in red? If you just want a team in your lucky colour then there are a lot more tempting red shirt wearers than fucking Cardiff. Wrexham already play in red and have dragons on their badge, what have they been spending all their Asian fans' money on?

Cardiff reveal new home strip... And it's red after all. http://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10335~2798727,00.html Their new badge is awful as well http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/06/article-2155216-137923B4000005DC-917_306x423.jpg

Aye, OK.

So Liverpool's problem was having lots of possession and not fucking doing anything with it. So they hire Swansea's manager.

Brendan Rodgers set to take charge at Liverpool By Pat Murphy BBC Radio 5 live Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to be confirmed as the new Liverpool boss in the next 48 hours. The clubs are understood to be discussing compensation for the 39-year-old, with Swansea likely to recieve a compensation payment of between £4m and £5m. Wigan manager Roberto Martinez had been in contention after meeting with owner John W Henry in Miami last week. But attention has since switched back to Rodgers. More to follow.

Have they had a meltdown about Ben Arfa being in the French squad after being 'hauled off'

Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane but the memory Romains...? Maybe not

I love the Mackem doublethink of this 1992 stuff. "You've never won fuck all" Well, we have. We've won the league, we've won a European cup, we've won the FA cup a bunch of times, more than most clubs. We were a real cup force in the 50s. "Those don't count, they were ages ago! You've done fuck all recently" Well, we've beaten Barcelona, we've played at the San Siro, we've played in over 100 European matches, we've beaten Man U 5-0, we've beaten our local rivals 5-1, what have you guys done? "Football wasn't invented in 1992 marra, 9-1 62bc!!!" What they mean by "Football wasn't invented in 1992" is "Football only existed for a short period in the mid 70s."

Good job House MD is here to set us straight

Apparently it is actually a thing although it could be quackery. Either the way you hold your head due to the discomfort knacking up your posture or infection or something. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/08/fabregas-wisdom-teeth-hamstring-injury Cesc Fábregas considered having his wisdom teeth taken out to try to solve his ongoing hamstring problems, an approach that worked for Tony Adams, the former Arsenal captain, during his career.

Tell me this isn't true Sort of. He had a problem with his teeth (not sure if it was just his wisdom teeth) which is linked with back problems, not hamstring problems. The hamstring bit was what I really was referring to. I just couldn't see how hamstring weakness and wisdom teeth were linked. Your hamstrings continue all the way up your back and neck into your jaw and are anchored into place with your wisdom teeth like tent pegs. This is why when there's contact between a player's head or arm and another player's face, they seem to throw themself on the floor. Even a minor knock can cause the hamstrings to ping loose off their dental moorings and turn a player's legs to jelly.

"whoever is chosen will, it seems, have to accept working with Van Gaal," Surely they can't be that stupid, they're having enough difficulty finding a manager as it is without making a decision on a DoF first and excluding anyone who doesn't want LVG as their DoF or even a DoF in the first place.

White text marra

Scouser on facebook reckons the rumours at the moment are Louis van Gaal as DOF, AVB as manager

Imagine he asked for another huge transfer pot with a back me or sack me ultimatum.

Just had a moment's panic about this, went for that direct debit price-freeze thing a few years back, is there a year left on that? Can't even remember if I've got a form recently and filled it in EDIT: Wait, went on my account and I'm listed as 2011-12 ST Holder 2012-13 ST Holder Signed up in February apparently!
