As if he gets jetlag anyway, if anything the planes probably need a few days to get back to normal after bringing him anywhere.

Got myself a ticket for the Ireland-Italy game in the Euros. Have one for the Croatia game too. I can't fucking wait for this.

Jonas, Colo, Tiote.

What a time for this game to come round for Pardew. First time in his tenure that there's been anything more than a hint of frustration from the fans towards him, a loss to this lot playing the same brand of shite we saw against Wolves would be a disaster for him. Hope he develops some testicles between now and Sunday and actually attempts to go at them.

Unless you're somehow joking or something, don't you know that Skysports is in the Uk too and not just Ireland? Sure he was asking what foreign channels and other media say not British ones, like skysports. http://www.gala.fr/var/gal/storage/images/les_stars/leurs_bio/cage_nicolas/images/nicolas_cage/218895-1-fre-FR/nicolas_cage_reference.jpg

Fucking Magaria more like. FTM

Sorry Pilkdave.

We get something called Sky Sports in Ireland. Most of the pundits seem pretty thick and don't really understand the meaning as far as I've seen.

They may be right about who has the better players and manager, tbf.

Sadden him deeply with his sorrowful expression?

It was one goal man, on that logic we should start Shola and they'd all commit suicide in the lockerroom beforehand.

That's a pretty convincing way to lose a shootout, 3-0 after three each. Good idea about the billboards, wonder if Llambias would veto it? Probably could if he wanted, do we always fill the boards with ads?

Do they not think he's shite anymore then?

Who would people prefer on the right if it's a choice between Taylor and Obertan then? Shitbulb for me I think, at least he would give us some width and pace which obviously Raylor doesn't.

Better pull him out of it, he'll surely understand and be happy to stay here and focus on more important things than a stupid friendly.

Stinger. 8pm kick off for me, plenty of time to get drunk in the pub on my own, not looking forward to it.

In order, who do think is most likely to start on the right? I'll say Obertan - Raylor - HBA Think he'll go with Obertan for this one.

Right, eh, so I've been trying to get back into doing a bit of writing these last few weeks. Was messing around today and came up with something that one or two people might get some sort of kick out of, probably not worth a thread so may as well throw it in here. Any thoughts (negative or positive) would be appreciated. Hope it's not too shite. --------------------------------------- The SB Chronicles Derby Week Monday A corpulent hand grips the doorknob and slowly turns it. It pushes the door open and its owner waddles gracelessly into the room. A woman works feverishly in the corner, skillfully negotiating several pots and pans, the smell of dead pigs hanging ominously in the air. Birds sing in the garden and a dog can be heard barking somewhere in the not too distant distance. A rare morning of northern sunshine bathes the kitchen in it's magnificent rays. He regards the scene with contempt and softly snorts before making his way disinterestedly towards the dining table and depositing himself upon his throne. The large wicker chair wails in agony as its bears his tremendous brunt. It has been eighty-nine days since his world was swept out from under him, just another cruel and undeserved loss in a long line of similar injustices, only this one on a a more significant and tragically final level. She serves him his breakfast, the usual Monday morning fare. Eighteen sausages, two dozen rashers, eons of pudding both black and white, a dozen eggs, poached of course, three tins of beans and the usual loaf. To drink, a pint of condensed milk. An unworthy adversary, this meal. In mere minutes it is vanquished in a demented culinary ballet that leaves only the most meagre of scraps. He feigns appreciation and she smiles warmly at him in return. "You'll never do better, old boy" he says to himself in a mix of mockery and appreciation. Time to face the music. First he listens glumly to his phone messages, no hope comes to him there. Emails yield a similar emptiness. She looks at him with horrific sympathy etched all over her face and he cannot meet her gaze. Terry Connor? Really, Terry fucking Connor?! Fuck off. His innards burn with rage, how could they? Outwardly though he gives no sign of his malaise, only excuses himself meekly and rises to leave. The chair groans in ecstasy as he slowly lumbers to his feet and shuffles from the kitchen. In the hallway he pauses momentarily outside the locked basement door. He fondles in his pocket the only key that exists for this door thoughtfully for a moment and then moves on. Not today. He inflicts himself upon a couch in the living room and stares emptily out the window into the sunny abyss. Seven days.

Looking ever more likely that the Fulham game really knocked his confidence. Jol adjusted and completely raped Pardew in the second half, Pardew just had no answer for it. His response seems to have been to set the team up very deep and approach the game very cautiously to try and stop it happening again. I can see his logic to some extent, Williamson is getting exposed more and more as the weeks go by, not signing anyone in January was a massive blunder. I think with Taylor back next year and better CB depth he'd be more comfortable letting Cabaye press on a bit more. I do think it's overly negative and will do more harm than good in the short term, though. Needs to at least play someone with a bit more forward threat than Ryan Taylor on the right if we are gonna essentially play with two DM's.

Two out of five pens on target. Silly Welsh retards.

Token scores!

Fucking woodworka again.

Adam's pen just landed beside me in Vietnam here.

Spa.
