Presumably he's referring to this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/oct/18/andros-townsend-roy-hodgson-monkey-joke-compliment

That Littlejohn clip is so funny.

The list of lower league players picked to play for England in recent years is very small. There's been a fair few goalkeepers have made squads but of the outfield players to have been picked, most got a couple of caps at most - Zaha, Nugent, Bothroyd. I think they're the last three, and before Nugent in 2007, you have to go back to Mackem Gray in 1999.

Why? Plenty other players have played for England over the years while playing in the 2nd tier. Trevor Brooking and Steve Bull are 2 that come instantly to mind. :lol:

His crowing about the referee today is proper Pardew, he reminds me of Ned Flanders describing the Bible and "the stuff that contradicts the other stuff". He really will say anything that he thinks makes him look better at that specific moment, and nobody ever ever ever pulls him on it. Going on about the penalty that Liverpool got last year and it being the same ref, this is what he said after that game: "I saw the referee, he wasn’t giving it. That touch doesn’t warrant the dive he makes – and it’s the dive that makes the linesman’s mind up." So a) it was mainly the striker's fault for diving, the striker who he since signed and had playing up front today, and b) it's then the linesman's fault because the referee wasn't going to give it, but he wanted the same referee withdrawn from the game today because of that.

Bit of a stretch, but did he not mean in the Premier League? Presumably he's got it from somewhere, bit of a daft thing to say if he's making a point about waiting ages for a goal though.

The Hull and Watford kits make it look like there's something wrong with my telly.

What the hell's Lineker on about there, "Gaston Ramirez hasn't scored for nearly two years"? He only joined Boro in January and scored 7 in the Championship run in.

He's at Bolton.

How PFM's get the jobs but this guy gets overlooked is beyond me. Steve Bruce is doing well for Villa, but surely they should have been looking at Hughton? Pearson keeps getting mentioned for being experience in this division, yet Hughton brought us up when we were in turmoil, and did the same for Norwich but no-one is shouting his name. He didn't take Norwich up.

He's currently on a run of 5 wins in 31 league games. Impressive.

Higuain, of course.

Thank fuck.

2-0

2-0 Brighton

My favourite exchange is the one along the lines of: "It'll cost you a million pounds." "Three million?! Nonsense. I won't pay it."

Pulis signs new deal. Their fans will be delighted.

Just occurred to you?

This. Followed by the 41 page thread on the PNE forum Just had a look. Always some absolute dickhead that signs up and makes us all look like the cunts they think we are. Link?

Only six 'first teamers' in the squad (Masip, Denis, Arda, Paco Alcácer, André Gomes and Mathieu). Cheers! As it was a cup game i thought it must be something like that. Aye, it's basically a local friendly.

He's a right creep. A proper weirdo. Didn't realise Yanga Mbiwa got on there.
