Would be tempted to put a RAWK style ban on this shit. Pointless getting het up about rumours like this until something actually detrimental happens.

I found one! I found a decent looking mackem! What do I win?

Shepherd!

Are they? Check the interview in todays journal.

Following on from HBA, Cabaye has a new website coming out next Tuesday apparently.

Still injured apparently but am not convinced.. he is gone and Petch is a much better player, seems Danny does not fancy European football next season. Do you think the big protective boot on his foot is just for show? Let him off then, have not seen that Still say he is off though http://i.imgur.com/WupJ5.jpg Who's the shorter lad with Sammy? Never seen him before. Looks nowt like Tavernier if that's who it is. Looks a bit spazzy in that picture, but pretty sure it is Tavs.

He certainly has to be fair. Went mental when they sacked Hughton and the first day or so we knew about Pards, but then quickly found reasons to start defending him once there were calls for protest inside the ground.

imho

She walking like John Wayne this morning?

Eh, 'it's a statue ffs'? It fails, imho obviously, to either impress technically or convey any feeling for the man himself, and a statue should have at least one of those attributes. Instead the sculptors limitations distract from the peice to the point that it makes people annoyed that this is what we have to imortlise Bobby. I think he deserved a damn sight better. As POOT said, art is subjective, so fair enough if people like it, great. But for me it's depressingly closer to your Southhampton or mackum statues than our Milburn or his Ipswitch efforts. Nar http://www.shoutingatco.ws/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ted-bates.jpg Whey, when I said 'closer', it was a fairly big scale.

Eh. What does 'it's a statue ffs' even mean? It fails, in my humble opinion of course, to either impress technically or convey any feeling for the man himself, and a statue should have at least one of those attributes. Instead the sculptors limitations distract from the peice to the point that it makes people annoyed that this is what we have to imortlise Bobby. I think he deserved a damn sight better. As POOT said, art is subjective, so fair enough if people like it, great. But for me it's depressingly closer to your Southhampton or mackum statues than our Milburn or his Ipswitch efforts.

Not going to keep laying into the sculptor but it pisses me off that his lack of technical nouse or eye is so sodding blatent, and we're going to be reminded of it everytime we pass by the ground. To echo The Northumbrian, Sir Bobby deserved so much better, and that is why this feels like such a kick in the nads despite it's being such a wonderful gesture.

Great that some people love it, but while not quite the disaster I feared from Tom Maley, the end result still makes me disappointed and a little angry... Leaving aside the likeness (and fair play, Tom did a great job on Bobbys bust inside th stadium), what the hell is going on will his hands and pockets ffs.

Really don't get the prevailing attitude that we need shot of him. He fucked up his first opportunity at the club and shouldn't be anywhere near the squad as it stands, but if he costs us a minimal amount when he's on loan, why get rid? He hasn't lost his natural talent and he still has the chance of being a very good player. If he wasn't putting in the effort, then maybe I'd join you in giving up on him, but as it is it would be an utter waste. Good luck to the lad.

Well done Nile. Hope to see you scoring shit loads of goals for us one day (or for someone else on the proviso we lobbed in a big fuckoff sell on clause).

Aye, hope it'll be decent. Struggle to believe the sculptor has an artistic bone in his body mind, he's done some fucking awful stuff.

Laurent Blanc : "what he's doing is not bad, especially that we often forget he comes from a serious injury" http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/252537/blanc-ce-que-fait-ben-arfa-c-est-pas-mal/ Next wednesday, Blanc will give a first list of players from foreign leagues and on May 16th a second list for "Ligue 1" players. These two lists should be a "pre-selection"of 28 or 30 players. Not bad?

Eh, what's he said that's got you riled up this time?

There's an Ameobi in my car park! http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/3346/sherlaameobi.jpg

From his actual press conference - "Still got 3 games to go, and all to play for. We'll go to Chelsea and give it our best shot." "This team does not need to measure itself against anybody, we've proven that all year, but these are big games and we want to perform well in them for our fans. We want to give our fans an end to the season that makes them proud. The performance in the first half against Wigan wouldn't have made anyone proud, so we wan't to send our fans home proud regardless of the result." Better wording for you Jack?

Meh. I'm not bothered if we lose all three as long as we put in a proper performance and have a go at them either. I'd choose a heroic end over ending the season on a whimper, every time.

Ah, come on. It's not just about being the safe option, I've seen nothing at all to suggest that Abeid is the better option over Perch for that role recently, full stop.

Good set of fans, highly respected throughout Europe too. Really? Know fuck all about them to be fair, but (and do feel free to edit Wikipedia if this is wrong) they sound like a bunch of pro IRA meat-headed cunts to me.
