Btw, I think we should have a thread dedicate to all the players he nutmegs in his time here. Must be nearly ten of them by now. Photoshop all their heads onto plaques on a wall with Ben Arfa sitting in front of it on a big leather chair in a dressing gown, smoking a pipe and looking suave.

Dat control against Stoke from Tiote's long pass.

We might just do this like.

Can't believe I'm missing out on this whole thing, typical that I choose our best season in years to go pissing around Asia. Sounds like we raped the shit out of them from the match report and comments on here. Fantastic, and Spurs losing is the icing on the cake.

Agreed. Maybe he'll have a clause in his contract. What sort of player is Sigurdsson anyway? Aside from Newcastle games I've seen fuck all football these last few months, only time I've seen Sigurdsson was when we bummed them.

Be great if he could get over his problems and contribute next season, we'll need the squad depth. As others have said though anything we do get from him will be a bonus in my eyes, he's played so little the last two years that it's hard to be confident.

We should go for Iniesta IMO.

Mag in India alert! Spanish guy I met yesterday works for Rolls Royce, lives in England. When he first went over they sent him to the factory in Sunderland, within a month he'd threatened to quit unless they relocated him to a different town. He lives in Derby now, and is very happy. I nicknamed him "Sess".

First time I've been online since the Bolton game. What a goal, what a player. Gonna have to get to a game early next season while I'm home, feel like I have to see this guy play for us.

The first goal was a cracking finish, the second goal was absolutely magical. Thought it was going over when he first hit it, was only on the replay where you see just how fantastic a bit of finishing it was. We've got an absolute beast on our hands here.

They still happy they dodged the Cisse bullet?

As if Ronaldo didn't found the club himself.

Must have missed all those finals England played in.

Aye, group stages are gonna be a bit pointless in the new system. As for Ireland, still never seen us lose to England in my lifetime, shite as we are. If we do somehow come up against each other in the final this summer try not to tear the stadium apart in a defeated rage if you can Ash, I know it's in your blood but try to do the right thing.

It's a couple of weeks FFS Ash, not liking you're committing six months of your life to it or anything. Got tickets for the games against Croatia and Italy, hoping we can give at least one of them a good game. Heading over in a campervan with five of the lads, gonna be a messy couple of weeks. Thank fuck we got drawn to play in Poland, much cheaper and more manageable than Ukraine by all accounts.

I've been calling it Lao (as in Yao) all the time I've been here.

Fucking Simpson and that stupid fucking throw, we'd be two points off Arsenal.

Met one of these people in Laos yesterday. He didn't like football. Wasn't sure what to make of the whole affair tbh.

Didn't fall for it like, Dave's message seemed way too casual so figured something was up right away. "I'll miss this place in a way" was one thing it said I think, was like a man who just lost his legs saying "part of me will miss being able to walk". As if Dave wouldn't be selling his arse on the streets of Leeds every night to raise money if it came to that. Seems it nailed a fair few people though, fair play.

What a player, love him to bits.

That was some breathtakingly funny stuff. Delighted for the big useless spa.

Where would you play him if you would have him back anytime? With the formation we played on Sunday he wouldn't get a game for us. Center back. Dead serious.

Saying he's got two left feet made no sense, given that Carroll is left-footed. Compliment if anything, surely?

That manager lad they have usually does well though tbf.
