Abdelhakim is a badass name, tbf.

The media are scraping the barrel for rationalisations for why we're still as high as we are now

Ordinarily I think Everton could give 'em a game, but think they've probably got one too many an injury coming into tonight's game.

Too many players on their feet. Close, though.

How many forums are you actually registered on, Sewelly? The guy is like a fucking virus.

Ramage and Ambrose to follow in Carr's rhino footsteps and win the Carling Cup

8/11 to sign for Chelsea by February (To contextualise that for those prone to worrying: Samba is 1/3 to join QPR by February)

Pardew says to him at half-time: "great goal first-half, keep it up.. just do me a favour, could you hold your knee every now and again, second half? The strawberry syrup guy says he won't deliver today unless you do... "

Right. Glad that bollocks is over. Now can we go back to concentrating on what this transfer window is really about please? Selling Tiote, Krul, Colo and Cabaye... GOSH.

QPR looking to bring one in before our game against them. Rumour (created by me, just now) is that it's a £5m swoop for Alan Smith.

Didn't know he was that good at tackling, heh. From our perspective looking at the stars we need to get those passing stats up, bit low considering our ambitions for playing good footy. Stats aren't everything tbf. He might be the best tackler because QPR can't keep hold of the ball - therefore he gets more opportunities to tackle! I mean, just look who the stats believe to be the top keeper

Ah Thanks.

No way in hell. Told yer. Increased to four for a frivolous appeal, has it? Edit: Unless Citeh can get quick upgrades on Savic/Lescott, that's the Dour Twat's first trophy right there, IMO.

People will no doubt mention Griffin, Titus, Hughes, OB1 were good enough to see us to a CL spot under SBR, but you do feel the landscape of Premier League football has changed. Probably not a player befitting of a top eight team, but wouldn't say he's enough to single-handedly stop a top-eight finish! Still pretty young and good to have about the squad atm.

Fernandes would have had to have offered him a "warchest" for January/summer.

Agree that it is ridiculous. What a goal anyway Certainly didn't get the credit it deserved on the radio. Easy. Give someone else the mask and get them to put it on him.

Re: Guthrie - would not start. He's been out for a good while. Faurlin out for the season is a big loss for them. Edit: The league's top tackler, 'parently: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/15122/2705370/Premier-League-stats

Then there's scanning to pdf, then e-mailing.

Tbf, it's not too difficult to get hold of a different number to send/receive faxes from.

It begins.

:blush:

"You're shit, ESPN"

Aye, love how he was doing that slow-motion marathon-finishing pose as the lower league Leeds player was calmly offering his hand to shake about a metre away

Quoted for inevitability. Perma-ban, then?
