Nowt like holding a grudge.

Another Midlands club as well. It's written in the stars.

By the way, do we reckon Brewce is finished if they lose at home to WBA on Saturday? If so, am I the only one who'd take a Souness vs. Villa (lucky draw) scenario to see him kept in his job a while longer?

And Felipao.

Fuck that shit. Mike, feel free to mute Gupter anytime you fancy for this insolence

Elliot will be on the bench at Wolves according to Pardew today in the Chronicle. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/09/29/bench-position-awaits-rob-elliot-at-molineux-72703-29506159/

She'll be back. Let's not get into it again though in here, ruined a majestic thread enough as it is.

Backup all sorted, hopefully that's the total end of it

He's guilty of being hung like a baby elephant.

What the nads is going on in here?

Took me far too long to find the obvious photo so I'll have to leave it for someone else.

Also fills in some more of the white space on that right-hand side, which is a bonus.

Should have just added a drop-down by the search bar meaning people can now choose specific boards to look in, while also being given the option to search within topics as well. I think it's quite a nice touch and should make the function easier for everyone to use. It's clever in that it knows when you're in a board and in a topic, etc. so adds options at those times. Very handy.

Just doing a quick restart before hopefully adding a little bit extra onto the search function, sorry about the timing but being back into a routine means I can't do this stuff at ungodly hours at the moment.

Think his fitness was the only thing stopping him really, he was apparently well behind everyone else in pre-season. Like Ben Arfa I think he'll get his chance when things start going badly/people get injuries and from there I'd expect him to keep his place if he stays fit.

I'm loving the inclusion of Sammy, you're a man who likes a bit of flair though so I shouldn't be surprised. Everyone else on that list would be in my "first eleven", though.

Please, please, please do not post football videos on this website. They are copyright material and are not allowed. (Speaking of France versus Norway, are you guys having a banning competition at the moment?) Ok, sorry. But there's a lot of France versus Norway on Youtube. The good one is "Ben Arfa VS Norway-11/08/10". "Banning competition ?" You're the boss man, you decide. That comment was tongue-in-cheek (not serious), but yes football videos aren't allowed. You can tell people what to search Google for, though, as you did there. Have you seen us play this season hatem garrincha? Who do you think we should remove from the team to allow Ben Arfa back in when he is ready? (Fucking Michael "Captain Cutsies" Murphy strikes again.)

Oh my goodness.

Those quotes are like a look into the past from on here, very interesting reading. He managed to turn it around here, of course, but he was shocking in those first months after signing in particular.

Depends on the form of Ba and Best as I think people have alluded to already, but it's a very good question. As soon as HBA is back to full fitness the pressure on those two is going to be even greater because they'll know that one bad game will see them liable to getting dropped for him. You'd imagine it'll be decided for Pardew though, given our luck with injuries.

It's on dailymotion, not youtube. Whoa, easy on the names there Sheila. I know where it was and it said "content removed"...

Erm... has the video gone? You know the one with the funky European soundtrack...

Maybe a good time for people to stick "Hatem Ben Arfa vs. Everton" in Google again and enjoy the magic to bring some levity back to this thread. Myself included.
