The Muslim Council of Britain can cock off. What a load of old bollocks.

I still would like to know what Sports Direct are putting into the club. Indeed. Especially now they're being billed as an 'Official Partner'. Even if he just comes out says, 'It's for all that money I've put in, guv'na'. Precisely. As I don't go on and read the club accounts etc was there anything at all in the last set about it? As they're obviously gaining a lot of advertising and are on our training stuff that the players wear. I'm just yet to see any financial benefit for the club through this. Perk of the role. Does Whelan pay anything to call the DW the DW? No. How about Venkys? Just can't see why people get hung up on the figures. If another brand offered enough to make on balance more sense financially for him to swap, why wouldn't he do it? I think we'd all agree that he would. no?

The advertising space will remain advertising space I'd have thought. /Top news either way though.

I still would like to know what Sports Direct are putting into the club. Mike Ashleys millions.

I don't expect any of the advertising around the ground to change bar a bit of Wongarisation, but not having to listen to the BBC go out of their way to say 'SPORTS DIRECT ARENA!' at every fucking opportunity is a staggeringly good prospect. Huzzah!

Am I right in thinking that you're hoping it'll be similar to the one on the first page? Or are these things different/better in some way?

A morning after pill might come in handy.

Yup.

Like three side of an equilateral triangle?

Indeed. QUOTE OF THE DAY from the Fiver today "I want to remind him that I am the only one to decide who will be picked and how long those who are picked will play. There is only one to decide and it's me" – sounds like France grand fromage Didier Deschamps took kindly to Arsene Wenger's criticism of his handling of Abou Diaby, then. He's right like, but still.

Next kit like this plz. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cQCSXCSbPNI/TnHqTQqUVGI/AAAAAAAAAJo/DkoIR7ODl3c/s1600/newc.jpg

Smack Bordeaux for six and Deschamps will come crawling back.

I'm guessing it's around about 29,482, and there'll be roughly an extra 4103 (including MW now he's got no ESPN) on the gate tonight.

Just in time for a Halloween party surely. /in Seaburn.

Apart from it being very old news, since when were you not allowed to talk about him? Since forever Dave. Since forever. Slapped my wrist a few times a year or so ago because he couldn't respond on here. /Actually, unless they're one and the same, that might have been Stevie.

Since when were we allowed to talk about that mentalist on here. Has his ban been rescinded?

Perch showing his pace and timing there.

Club sold? Highly doubt it. If so though Mmmm, Polygon.

Nah, that doesn't wash. Cabaye's only been here a season and a bit.

That contradicts what Pardew has had to say in the past, sounds like he's a bit of a nightmare to manage to be fair. But yes, I agree, the staff and he have done well to get it to work so far.

Was delighted with his staid sense and logic when he was with us, but that interview feels almost offensively dull and straight down the line now he's in opposition.

A win on Sunday and it will have been a good start to the season considering we've had Spurs, Chelski and Everton. A win on Sunday.
