That's a real shame. He's had rotten luck this season. It's equivalent to us losing Rooney tbh. Far worse tbh, Rooney maybe vital to us, but not nearly as vital as Essien is to them imo.

They've already made people register and given them customer numbers, just make it a vote where you have to login. Yes, some filthy mackems will sign-up, but I can't see there being enough to really sway the vote. I lost patience trying to sign up on that shitty fucking website, I'm sure 10,000 mackems probably wouldn't complete the process. Else, you could always make it a vote for paying NUFC TV punters only. Probably a good idea tbh.

12 million pound Afonso Alves. Boyd would be a tad cheaper to find out if he can make it. I don't disagree with taking a chance on Boyd, but the person before me listed his goal record in Scotland and said he would therefore be a great signing when it's a fairly meaningless stat. Ala Afonso Alves.

Afonso Alves

Uruguay are certs to top that group imo. What are their odds?

The plot THICKENS

No, it's similar to a bunch of girls arguing about what lipstick goes with what eye shadow with what dress. aye, having pride in their appearance, what a f***ing crime. People who have that much pride in their appearance probably don't go around in tacky football tops tbh Well that's a matter of taste sir.

If you're referring to VALDÉS, then.. erm.. Barcelona... Heard of them?

That's cos Keegan is a cunt.

It would be sickening tbh. Playing the US is lose-lose, if they managed to actually win the World Cup, that'd be monumental.

90% of the world's workforce could quit on that pretence, and I doubt they'd get compensation.

It's clothing. Some people give a shit about how they look. I know it wasn't like this in the 30s, but times have changed old man.

Don't know if anyone has. I've mostly watched it streaming on bet365.com.

Cheapest looking NUFC kit I've ever seen tbh

Either.

Not my most polished piece of work, but... http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3302/starmockup.jpg

It looks ridiculous. I like it.

I strongly dislike that one with the stupid swoosh shit on the shoulder tbh.

Penalty Feints banned ahead of world cup. Penalty-takers will no longer be allowed to halt at the end of their run-ups to try to fool the goalkeeper. The International Football Association Board has decided it is "unsporting behaviour" and made it a yellow card offence in time for the World Cup. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8690435.stm

Penalty Feints.
