Excellent I'm a little surprised you kids hadn't heard of the Wanka before. I assume you've not seen their subtle kit either: http://i.imgur.com/oDTPq7R.jpg

NEVERMIND. FIFA Executive Committee (ExCo) is an institution of FIFA (the governing body of association football). It is the main decision-making body of the organization in the intervals of Congress. Its members are elected by the FIFA Congress.

Who or what is ExCo?

Never mind. SOCCER MASTER.

What is the shop called btw?

Dont know how my brain has managed to convince itself that the new home kit isn't awful.

The Senegal striker, a Muslim, told club officials he was not prepared to promote the money-lending company. But the 28-year-old did offer to wear an unbranded shirt or one bearing a charity logo instead. It leaves Cisse's future in doubt, with sources describing the relationship between the parties as "strained". The Newcastle forward and his representatives have been in talks with club officials and the Professional Footballers' Association in recent days but neither the club nor their shirt sponsor have been able to find a solution. Cheick Tiote and Moussa Sissoko, Cisse's team-mates at Newcastle, are also Muslim but have told the club they have no issue with wearing the sponsor's logo. Cisse will continue to train on his own as he attempts to catch up on his fitness after returning later than the majority of the squad following international duty with Senegal. Both camps are hopeful that a solution can be found, but it seems Cisse is not prepared to move on his position.

I'm not sure NUFC should be borrowing £30m off Wonga like. I've heard their interest rates are pretty high.

He blatantly has that. He had it last year too. He's got about 15 of them, and with that he should still do far better than he did last year. But the strength in depth is shit and needs to be improved, and if it was, that would constitute our shitty manager being "backed properly". And yes, we'd still be shit.

Oh yeah, it was only Pardews tactical genius that kept this rag tag bunch of Championship Footballers in the league last season after all.. :lol: People on here man.

Giving him a full squad of men who can play football at the level required to compete in the Premier League would be a start. Whether they're men of his choosing or otherwise.

It would be preposterous if we sold him man. The man has to fold.

The whole management structure is bonk. There, I said it.

Don't care about the banner, though wonder what people think they can do that supports the team without supporting the regime, especially if you're attending matches.

Pep has aged terribly

No fucker has a clue who or what they're arguing for or against, but they know for damn sure they're definitely fucking right, and HTT is definitely wrong.

They're registered man. They're allowed to shit people up.

Am I really going to follow a meaningless pre-season friendly against a bunch of random scotch men via Lee Ryder's twitter?

my optimism isn't back like. im far from optimised.

Hard to deny that Diakite, Altidore and Giaccherini would be improvements to our squad like. Not necessarily automatic first XI players, but certainly knocking on the door.

You could say his style is not dissimilar to the lethargic style of a Dimitar Berbatov or a Zlatan Ibrahimovic

this is today? shit. I was enjoying the no football. Life was easier.

Aye. I met Ash once and I towered over the kid, and I'm only 5ft 10.
