Dinho lad

Based on what exactly Columbo? It was going around that part of the reason he was sacked was because he was too chummy with the senior players. I think it's a reasonable conjecture based on common knowledge that part of the reason that Ashley pulled the trigger so quickly was he didn't see a long term future with Nolan/Barton and Hughton was too close to them, and therefore would be unwilling to sell them/rebuild. I can't prove any of this, of course. That's what Golf mag said, iirc. Still, it doesn't mean that he would have been "unwilling to sell them/rebuild".

Brilliant.

Hatem looking so cool, man.

Caprice.

I think he will be off at the end of the season.

Last season's fixture I remember being criticised for saying that we were too cautious for too long. Don't think it'll happen this time if Pardew adopts the same tactics. (Unless we win. )

N'Zogbia was a twat too.

Well, looks like Lyon are gonna blow it for me.

I know, I know. If I don't have a feeling for something, I stay away. I don't "force" it. Mind you, I couldn't resist this one- http://i.imgur.com/7Mo1X.jpg Fuck it.

What is the matter, my friend?

What's everyone betting on tonight? Looking for a single to go heavy(ish) on so I could raise a decent betting budget. Fuck all attractive at the moment. Hate these cup games.

I'm really not trying to troll you here, Brummie, but was it really worse than you were at WHL last year? That was one of the most abject performances I've ever seen. That game . I don't think I've seen a less inspired performance from a team ever. Our second half against Villa when we were relegated We needed one fucking goal to stay up, but the bottling cunts on that pitch didn't even seem interested in trying. Still get angry thinking about it.

yep, making him our attacking coach. He certainly had the footballing brain.

Well, that's my out of credit. Time to deposit again..... danger territory.

1-1. Yes, one more goal.... ONE MORE GOAL!

Hughton out.

Fuck off Arsenal..... I needed 3 goals in the match and it was your duty, as the "better" team, to score at least two goals. Fuck off, cunts.

My last £5 goes on SMB DNB, Lille DNB and over 2.5 in the Arsenal game. Fook.

it's evens on BV.

Clearly taking the piss.

He's having a poor season. Absolutely nothing wrong in pointing that out. People need to accept that certain supporters don't give a flying f*** if it hurts them that we're criticising their most loved and favourite players. No arguments there at all. He's not put in the near 10/10 displays he managed last season, and he still struggles with the same type of forward. But I find it ridiculous to question his commitment during a game like yesterday. Of course, when someone who is normally on top of his game makes a mistake, it gets highlighted more because it is not expected. I just don't think his temperament or his commitment can be questioned when you see what he's done for the rest of the game. I certainly didn't question his commitment.
