Beren

Class skill from SWP to get away from Walker.

Parker showing the full repertoire of his technical abilities there.

It's quite phenomenal how modern dietary schedules, training regimes and half-time hip replacements can extend the careers of athletes these days.

Bit scrappy isn't it - sort of a playground football feel to it.

QPR playing some nice stuff in places tbf. Marked improvement since Harry took over.

Or we lose, Sunderland draw to stay above us and we lose money. Alright, OPTIMISTIC Nut, geez louise

Not a bad idea to forum bet that one. Either the forum wins, or Newcastle don't have a shit day in the relegation battle.

Long pass percentage will go down with Danny Simpson out of the team. And Tiote Poking at individual players for a style of play advocated/encouraged by the manager is silly IMO.

I don't want to name names on here/or sound as though I mean to poke fun at certain posters (because it is a fairly serious issue in fairness!), but it's fantastic you even have a spreadsheet/hold yourself to account re: your betting.

Good advice. Don't beat yourself up about it Wilson, everyone goes through stages like that where they get carried away and then regret it. Have you lifted your ban yet, Beren? Yeah, but don't bet regularly. Still stuck in a zero-sum game where I win-lose-win-lose in equal measure. It's pretty spooky, really. Anyway, put £50 on Mackems/Norwich/Fellaini anytime I think. Might have been drunk, but it doesn't look so bad a bet tbh. Wanted to chuck Arsenal in there too, but resisted.

You must feel like shit atm mate, but you'll be alright and you're doing a really good thing

What a gigantic game this is in our calendar

Good news for Ashley. Tidy little chunk off the wage bill.

What is the point in your avatar man? Solely to wind every f***er up? Because thats all it's doing to me every time you post . Probably too soon I'll change it in the morning. To what?! Colo in a San Lorenzo shirt?

Myleene Klass used to be great.

Read an article on that earlier: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/1292362/rewind-to-1995:-andy-cole-joins-man-utd?cc=5739

How wrong I was.

Interesting point. Maybe there's truth to this whole French/Spanish-speaking thing Macdonald got a lot of abuse on here for and Colo feels that he's not valued any more. When you look at the Debuchy transfer it makes you wonder about the influence Cabaye now has at the club. http://blogs.whatsontv.co.uk/tvspy/wp-content/gallery/the-wire-series-5/wire-marlo-2-free.jpg

Nah. He's done more than his bit. He played through the Championship. He gave us his all, and has been rewarded with Williamson for the better part of 18 months. His career is finite. As usual, the real problem is above him. All our stars will leave this way. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of our generation, they will continue to leave this way with the Mike/Pardy regime in power.

Earlier than expected but inevitable.

The quotes are symptomatic of him having exhausted his full bag of tricks. It was a small bag to begin with, tbf. Without a full-strength eleven doing their thing his only recourse is to complain he doesn't have a full-strength eleven. He can't adapt/coach/teach/lead.

New level of douchebaggery, that. Unlike his usual off-the-cuff comments which you'd be advised to take with a a hefty pinch of salt, that actually seemed fairly considered. This prat needs to get out of the club.
