*Drives car onto pitch, mows down foreigner* Andy Gray - "Och, get up son! The challenges won't get any lighter than that here. Welcome to the premiership."

Has the raw pace and deft first touch of a fire hydrant

I think my biggest pet peeve is hearing shit from commentators like "Welcome to England, son" after a shit tackle/challenge. As though both A) every reckless clattering is a prime example of English football and B) every johnny foreigner is a theatrical diving poof. They'd probably be telling him "walk it off lad, you'll see worse than that in this league" if de Jong had pulled out a pistol and shot him. Really sad to hear and see this though. Hope it's not really career threatening.

Really wish Barton had swallowed a red and blown up de jong's ankles around minute 92. Man is a serial offender.

fuck atkinson, fuck city, live forever in the shadow of man u

for the love of fuck

JONAAAASSSSSSSSSINHO!!!!! NOW TAKE OFF THAT RIDICULOUS BONNETT

Oh wow that might be broken.

fantastic there, Pleat. HBA's arms flying around, trainer with their hands on the left calf. "I wonder if that's a shoulder injury ... maybe his left leg."

I don't know but I like it. Gutierrezinho like

I wonder if we would be so cavalier about Nolan if was dropped for Smith.

What a defeatist, cowardly mentality.

You want him dead for an own goal in a sports game? Tad harsh. Would like to see him hit by a small car maybe, but death is a little much.

Well done Perch! You didn't get carded!! :banana: :toke: :horse:

Pretty shit performance all around. Horrible defending at their set pieces, Kevin Nolan fat and useless, bewildering subs from Hughton, Ameobi ... whatever. Fuck off. Going to go find a cat to kick.

Words not really sufficing at how angry I am. Hate this persisting with Kevin cunting Nolan bullshit, the idea that Ameobi, after turning up against Chelsea, will do anything else all season (he won't) FUCK YOU NOLAN FUCK YOU

Shame for Fuller.

Voted yes.

It's still hilarious taken out of context, hence the My pole doesn't make any sense. My pole. Pole. Cock.

Shocking that Love them to bits is only at 11 (3%), when will you lot learn?

The poll DOES make sense. How does this thread imply any kind of delusion? We are fourth favourites to win the tournament at odds of 15.0. That implies a 6.7% chance. Money talks. Why do you think people are trading at that price? If you're so confident we're not going to win, just lay the 15.0 on offer at Betfair. That first sentence about making no sense was just about your first edit (pole/poll) but I see that's gone from your post now

Your pole doesn't make sense. Also voting our probability somewhere between 0 and turd.

Ole Soderberg I'd think? And I remember him, along with Krul and Forster, being a highly rated prospect, so I'd hope he can do a job deputizing.

I think we need cover for the wings more than another AM. Ben Arfa, Vuckic, Barton and Gosling(at some point) could play there. Pretty sure Xisco (not that he'll ever get a game again) could play off the front man in a more 4-4-1-1 type and so could lovenkrands. But for the wings unless I'm just forgetting the dead obvious, Jonas, Hatem and Wayne are all the quality we have; lose one and it's already bare bones. Raylor can play right side and I guess Lovenkrands can play out wide but I don't think that's his favorite spot. Who am I forgetting because I know I am.
