How many fouls, man?

This guy's a player

He deserves praise today, well done.

If Steven Taylor, Tiote and Jonas are fit they all start automatically. Don't kid yourselves otherwise.

You must surely know that they are fairly indubitably Krul, Coloccini, Cabaye and Ben Arfa on the evidence of the last 2 years? Indeed, the frequent absence of all 4 last year was a large reason (not as large as the manager) that we were shit.

Not necessarily.

Well done that man. It's such a simple solution. He's only here to generate mild profit while he looks to sell. Starve sources of profit, he has to make a move. he's still a long way off from making any sort of profit mind. Even better.

could = will

You all stop buying merchandise and tickets, hopefully, realising that this is the best chance of getting him out.

Makes perfect sense. He wants to sell as soon as he gets what he deems a good offer; so he's staffed the club with a manager and director of football who are his mates who will end up getting a huge financial payout (through length of contract) when whoever the next regime is may eventually takeover and inevitably sack them for their perpetual incompetence.

Why are any of you surprised?

Sorry if already asked - the half and half SBR match kit, can that be purchased by members online? That kit is lush, once you scrape Wonga off the front.

Your treatment of Ian is ridiculous. In a nutshell, he has said "you're overreacting". Your responses prove him completely right.

"The other team just kicked the ball too much to day. We wasn't expecting that." "Sometimes you just have to hold your hand up and say you can't compete financially. With the kind of spending power teams like Hull and West Brom have, we just can't compete with that."

Nee-nah nee-nah nee-nah! Drop your exaggeration pistols; hands where I can see them so I can place the sensibility cuffs on you.

I forgot that you were obliged to read it

Nor is Pardew a fucking Premier League manager! I think the two may be correlated. Somehow. Maybe.

Because he would be unwilling to work with the caveat that he's not allowed to question anything Mike Ashley says or does. He has: (1) A spine (2) A vision for development (3) Integrity (4) An understanding of the need to spend money All 4 things can't be achieved with Ashley in charge, and he will only appoint a yes man. This, in a nutshell, is why we hired Pardew, why we still have Pardew and why we will continue to have Pardew as long as he can keep us ticking over in the league.

I'd rather keep the money.

As a pretty much lifelong Londoner this is a really interesting conversation. I think London can be daunting, overwhelming and downright hostile when you don't know too many people down here and you come down on a "solo" venture, like working without having a contacts base. If you go to university or school here, or start a graduate job with others at the same time - just anything where you have people to talk to and spend time with - then London is a fantastic place where you can create so many good memories. It's an incredible city for music, film, art, literature and theatre; it's a brilliant place if you are interested in history and architecture just by walking around, it's got a world-class intellectual reputation and a beautify university quarter; it's one of the best places in the world for any kind of dining, but especially market food; and it's one of the greatest places on earth to get pissed in. And that's not mentioning things like the beautiful parks, the absolute mega range of people you might meet and places/cultures you might learn about or things you might try. But at the same time, the weather is just grim, for every lovely place there is an absolute dive just round the corner, there are far, far too many people, there are on obscene amount of pretentious people, hostile people, rude people, arrogant people and ignorant people. Lots of public infrastructure doesn't work and it's just expected as standard, especially parts of the tube which don't run sometimes for no reason and roadworks never end. Everything is stupidly expensive, especially rent which is obscene and council tax. It's really difficult to find a quiet moment for yourself or hear yourself think sometimes, and getting anywhere takes forever. On balance it isn't in my top 5 cities, but it's in my top ten. I don't think you can just say "it's shit", I think you've got to be fairly oblivious not to be able to find something to your taste in London.

100% true.

I've seen him play in Lyon's stadium once. I commented at the time that he was similar to Shola Ameobi but just better at the good parts of Shola (finishing, strength, control and occasional skill) and not as bad at the donkey parts of Shola (horrendous touch, shinning, running slower than a Soviet tank exhibition parade).

Promote this man to hyperbole detective

Riiiight. They're the hilarious ones. What are you rolling your eyes at then, Ralph Wiggum? You I got that part, cheers. So why did you ask? Was it just so you could insult Neesy for rightfully being tired of your repetitive patter? Neesy's a big lad. I'm sure he can talk for himself. Best stop now before I run into trouble with the hyperbole police.
