Celtic fans certainly seem to think it's political...

"Easy" games are the ones they should worry about, they looked better against Liverpool, Arsenal and Man U than they ever did against Swansea and Norwich.

Love the way he just looks up and goes "aye, right there" then *ping* pinpoint precision. Seemed to just stand there like Cantona after as well until he suddenly remembered his kid.

RVP captain, Arteta, Jones, Enrique. Good haul so far.

Own goals don't count, goals scored by beach balls count double. It's in the official Mackem Rules Of Football.

Are they arguing about if they would rather win or lose to avoid us having two weeks in second place yet?

The RTGeniuses reckon the stats are wrong in that OP, for what it's worth.

Put that on another forum, mostly to wind up the horrifically gloryhunting Canadian Barca fan there (although I don't know how much of a fan you can call him, he wanted Man U to beat them in the Champions League final because he preferred them at that point) His response

His mam seems canny as well.

Would come across much less light-hearted if the lyrics were "I'd let you jam your hard-on up my lass"

Indeed, satanic obesity is no joke.

I was talking to a Villa fan the other day who said he "quite liked" Newcastle now, going on to say that he'd loved relegating us because of that 'everybody's second team' stuff in the 90s but he's glad to see us doing well now because "you know, after going down and coming back up... Well, I don't want to be patronising and talk about knowing your place, but..." Basically since we got promoted our good run gives us 'plucky little Newcastle' status this time around instead of an indication we've got ideas above our station, I think.

Walters. Stoke's penalty taker and often plays upfront, in pite of being down as a midfielder.

Nailed it. Phalanges.

Any advice for my "guess the squad" sweepstake at work? My disinterest in international football is making it tricky.

Could do with the squad depth but it's not a toe-tal disaster.

The Metro today says that our upcoming matches will give a 'more accurate gauge' of our quality. How, exactly? So we get beaten by Man City, that finally shows us where we stand, firmly in the position of 'not as good as Man City' along with basically everyone else they've played from Man U to Wolves.

"We know what you are, we know what you are, Anton Ferdinand, we know what you are." Thats the one I heard anyhow. What is he, like?

What were Chelsea fans chanting about Ferdinand against Genk that's got them in bother then?

Done.

Their threads about the Terry/Suarez stuff is like looking into a timewarp. I especially liked the guy who said that the real racists aren't people who shout racist slurs at people, but the people who call other people racist. And then proceeded to accuse everyone of being racist against white people because of things like the black footballer awards.
