  1. Bumpetty bump!

     

    Is anyone driving up from London and up for a petrol split?

     

    It looks like I'm going to Newcastle 2 weekends in a row so can't be f***ed with 2 extortionate train fares.

     

    Bear in mind, I'm a total c***.

     

    I feel this point can't be emphasised strongly enough.

     

    Ps, make sure you get cash up front.

     

    Libellous.

     

    You forfeit your match ticket price when you abandoned me in Newcastle. "I'll pick you up tomorrow", he says, before a 7AM text excuse involving a grandmother.

     

    And I really wanted to hear more bellicose hubristic chat about (on the balance of interpretation) fictional conquests of women and orifice selection, so it was a doubly hurtful ditch.

  2. When the club Captain is clear about wanting to leave then that will have some kind of impact on the squad, although I have never thought of Colo as a leader type Captain.

     

    I would reckon the other players probably have some sympathy for his situation; I think if you are a normal person you probably can simultaneously think he's a knob for cocking up his marriage but still feel bad at the fact he's evidently unhappy about it.

     

    It sucks that this is what's happening; ideally he just carries on being the Titan he has been for us. But life doesn't work that way. I also reckon the stuff in the argentine media is totally overblown. I don't think the way he's handled it has been that bad - put yourself in that exact situation, what would you do? Especially where other people leak something you want kept private.

  3. Leadership.

     

    His relationships outside of the club don't impact what kind of leader he is on the field; at least in my opinion.

     

    What did you make of Shearer as club captain, having booted Lennon in the head, or elbowed Materazzi and received a suspension in a crucial group game?

     

    Did you say anything when Tiote was stand-in captain after he was done for driving without a licence and whatnot? (Genuine question, I don't know if you did).

     

    The point is, he's been a really solid captain for us for a while. I agree with you to some extent that he's fading a bit with age/injury; and it's annoying that he wants to go home, but i am only annoyed because I love the guy and he's an NUFC hero in my opinion. You've got to admit, he's played pretty well through what is obviously a pretty rough patch in his personal life. If your argument is we should ship him because his personal life is in the way, I can see the merits of that opinion. As a comparison, I love my job, but if my girlfriend (not even my wife) moved back home to Germany, I'd have to seriously consider going with her.
