Nice one.

In a nutshell.

This was a group set up around the time Local Hero got dropped: https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4820958405&v=wall Apparently they played Spandex Ballet back then.........

IIRC they used some sort of generic theme instead of Local Hero when we played Wigan at St James' in 2007. I wasn't impressed.

It happened early on in the Ashley/Allardyce reign.

Get oot.

Do they post on here?

From me too.

Is it you?

N'Zogbia's odds of signing for us dropped to such a low level too iirc. Betting odds mean f*** all imo.

Pure speculation Mike.

The bit in bold is quite telling imo - you could say that you wouldn't be surprised if there are Sports Direct signs in the end (what I think) or you could say that it's simply maintenance and people are reading too much into it.

I'm still hopeful that he'll develop into a canny right back but that's just me. If at any stage in his career he turns into a canny right back, I'll drink my own p*ss Quoted for future reference

Fantastic

Phil Dowd confirmed as the referee for this game.

This is implied in the article like. Looked terribly unfit during pre-season.

I did too

Considering that Pardew first "brought" Tevez to the PL, a cheeky loan bid wouldn't go amiss you do know he's the one who dropped Tevez to bench right? Was taking the p*ss. Hence the smileys.
