Dave man

Yo is nailed on our next captain if Colo ever does go. You can easily tell he's taken it upon himself to be a leader.

Agree Quail, I was really thinking Marv would have been fantastic in the lineup yesterday.

Destroyed is putting it lightly.

We fought so hard that match and knew it wasn't our day when the Luiz only got a yellow and our first choice CBs were limping off.

Luiz off and we would have won that game.

of the week Has no return date on Physioroom.com - hopefully it's just a knock. Just a joke man, yesterday people asked where Marv was from before the match when squads were announced, to after it was noted that he had to pull out b/c of a knock, to after the match up until Pards said he had a knock and would be out for 2-3 weeks.

Sweet prince I remember him putting in a marvelous hard working shift in the opener, and its all just went down hill from there.

if true, everyone who hated on that celebration is going to feel like absolute shit.

The old loyal dog has lost his legs, sadly.

http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/psv-2013-nike-centenary-away-football-shirt-a.jpg This kit model, with our simple black & white stripes. With a black collar (blue trim on edge) or white collar (black trim on edge) would be the best kit we'd ever have had since the Granddad collar days. The collar and buttons part would probably look class as a contrast to whatever the center stripe is.... Would be the best if it was Nike (I know we have a long term deal with Puma), but hell, can anyone just slap a Puma logo on it so a man could dream?

Button down collar...fuck off Nike.

He's probably one of the most likeable chaps we have. He not only says the right things but he gives 100% every time out there. Problem is that his 100% isn't enough. Like I said, happy for him to come off the bench to shore us up and help out when we need him. He plays perfectly standard and OK in the first 10-20 minutes of a match. He keeps the ball, passes it. Levels in a random cross or 3 that are either crap or almost decent and gets us a free kick or 2.

Buzza, you on a wind up man?

I like collars on kits. I actually really like our home kit's collar - something class about it.

I'd start Obertan over Jonas

I'm just hoping we see a debut from Mapou ahead of Saylor. But I'm hoping more that Jonas does not start.

Dude can't even trap the ball properly!

Looked at it a few more times last night and this morning - soft pen. Gabby made a meal of it as well. Something that is sadly "part of the game" as commentators and pundits say. Played football my entire life - that was some theatrical shit by Gabby man.

Just as long as Jonas is on the bench, and the players aussiemag has listed above start - I'm okay with that.

Colo DM? buzza lad, prepare yourself

I think Ashley and the Board planned for Pardew and his staff to be the removable cog in this. All reports say his 8 year contract can be terminated with a year or 2 of severance. The scouting system is completely handled by Carr with the manager's thumbs up to what is probably a list of players. Me personally, I really really want to like him and have him develop into a man like Moyes who has Everton in and about European places every season now. Not sure he'll get there. The passion and bravado he had last season was one of the reasons, and if I'm to believe what is said about his man management behind the scenes, the players really do seem to like the bloke. But this season has been a right mess and I'm leaning on the side that believes he isn't the man to take us into a top 5-7 side each year. Safety first though this season, and then I'll welcome talk of the future.

This news man, irritating stuff. By the time he's back, HBA will be.
