Hardly a dig. Pardew in "Talk to me, Jose" plea, tbh.

Watched France vs Italy from that tourney earlier in the week - I fear for Italian football if that's their future.

Sturridge is 20m right? There's more than enough Carroll money left for that.

thought that was offside when I first saw it. nicely done.

Good run by walker there.

These kind of incentives? It's the first time I've heard of a contract extension being dependant on a club's finishing position. We could have finished Top 7 this season, given a couple of quality additions to the squad. A lot of this was based upon the goals of Nolan. The contract offer sounds like the club saying "go and show that it wasn't a one-off season" and we'll reward you for it. You can argue for/against whether this is a slap in the face or a shrewd incentive for the club captain. It's a shit incentive and a slap in the face. Nolan can give 100% all game every game and we could still finish 14th from injuries, suspensions, dodgy ref calls, gutless performances from others etc. It's not a good deal to take because so much of that final position is out of his hands. True, but also from the club's perspective, if we finish 7th then we will need a bigger squad (to cope with the additional games; making the group stage would be the minimum expectation) so the plan to keep improving upon the squad we have wouldn't be held back by Nolan staying on as he would play more than enough games (25-30) throughout the course of the league and 3 cup competitions. Also, with the higher league prize money plus the increase in tv revenue (two-fold, once from Europa matches on ITV/5ive, more of our matches will already be moved to Sunday so the possibility of them being picked up by SKY might increase as we're already quite popular with them) - the increase in Nolan's wages and the additional year would be absorbed. True, but the wire fox terrier was developed in England by fox hunting enthusiasts and is believed to be descended from a now-extinct rough-coated, black-and-tan working terrier of Wales, Derbyshire, and Durham. The breed was also thought to have been bred to chase foxes into their underground burrows; the dogs' short, strong, usually docked tails were used as handles by the hunter to pull them back out. Although it is said Queen Victoria owned one, and her son and heir, King Edward VII of Great Britain did own the wire fox terrier, Caesar, the wire fox terrier was not popular as a family pet until the 1930s, when The Thin Man series of feature films was created. Asta, the canine member of the Charles family, was a Wire-Haired Fox Terrier, and the popularity of the breed soared. Milou (Snowy) from The Adventures of Tintin comic strip is also a Wire Fox Terrier.

kick heightism out of football

my weenus tingles at the prospect of sow

Paper bags were invented for a reason That orange glow they all have will shine through fine, fine ... two paper bags.

no?

Isn't Abeid a DM as well? I know he's young but I don't think we signed him to play in the reserves.

Liverpool will do well because Suarez, Kuyt and Miereles are quality and coupled with a healthy Gerrard + Lucas in the midfield will be a very effective attacking unit. Carroll... I just don't know how Kenny is going to get anything out of him with the system they've got in place.

I think Whelan wakes up every morning and asks a mirror who the worst owner is and is always disappointed to hear Ashley.

hate him even more now, he has to go.

No but the first two sentences from google translate are poetic. Twelfth of the last Premier League, Newcastle United have achieved a satisfactory season for a long while titillating the European markets for a comeback in the Premier League after a year of purgatory.The club's aim is clear: the taste of Europe in the next year.

unless he signs there was no bid and we were never interested and it was all a lie by mike/derek

Today we salute you, tour guide wum.

we were never in for him/smokescreen/attempt to placate fans/etc/I'm a bitter troll/end my life/I hate mike ashley and derek llambias/will only sign carlton cole

Cacapa :trololololololo:

Really, West Ham? Really? 3m?

Well at least now he's pocketing it. Previously he was 'trousering' it and tbh that verb never sat well with me.
