Exiled in Texas

{{snicker}}

Preferably by -5 goals, so our 6-0 can be the difference

Aww. Was used for comedy purposes, wine tastes like piss tbh. Quick, someone tell Messi and he can get his user name back

Harsh, he was surrounded by shyte and was the only player who turned up circles for them tonight. FYP

In the US, the games are blacked-out locally unless they are sold out. Only available on Cable/Satellite season packages unless they are a sellout. There must be some financial incentive from the local TV companies to show the games locally too, because the team owner will often buy up the last 5000 tickets and donate them, in order to get the game onto TV.

I knew Mali, Malawi and Mozambique, but cheated with the Atlas for Mauritania.

Daft question, like I'm going to remember that. Mali - Is in West Africa (close-ish to Ghana) Mauritania - West Africa Malawi - East/Southern Africa Mozambique - East/Southern Africa

Yep, the gift that keeps on giving And maybe the moniker will stick {{mwahahahahahah}}

I reckon we should bring back Messi, but as a forfeit, change his user name to Pissi for the rest of the season. Seeing him named as Pissi for the rest of the season would make me laugh at the thought of this thread.

I think he deserved the ban for not even trying to pass off a faked attempt. He was given plenty of suggestions about trying apple juice or lambrusco...We deserve better than that.

Just saw this article too on NBCSports... Boys In The Snood: Big, stupid soccer controversy in England Here’s another good example of why soccer will never truly take root in the U.S. The big controversy in England right now is over the snood — a trendy circular scarf worn by soccer players to ward off the cold. And of course Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is anti-snood, having just banned his players from wearing them. But the true controversy is not over the garment itself, but the reaction to it. Ferguson: “They’re for powder puffs. Real men don’t wear things like that. Get ‘em off.” Bud Grant approves. The Snood has become increasingly popular in British football during the cold snap, especially with foreign players. Snood wearers include Man City’s Carlos Tevez, Yaya Toure and Mario Balotelli. Arsenal’s Samir Nasri and Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina are also fans. OK, no snoods, because they’re not manly. Yet this is OK? Ex-Leeds United hardman Norman Hunter, 67: “We used to rub Algipan oil all over. That kept us warm.”

Not bothered about hats or gloves. But wearing these snoods look rediculous.

Players wearing these huge scarves (shawl collars) under their shirts. Big puffs.

Hahah...I read that statement but missed reading the letter L in "Clock" I guess it made more sense without the L.

Haven't you been paying attention? He's an Evertonian not a Liverpudlian.

Works for a 'mong' image lol but faces are probably done to death here. http://www.clockworkjunkie.com/assets/no/nolan.png *Not sure if a transparent png will show well in ie though. Looks great in my IE

Was quite a good gag too!!

Someone Tweet him a link OK then. I'll send him a link to the Jose thread. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,55154.msg1442077.html#msg1442077 That thread should be deleted He's got a point when the opening post is from 2008 and says

Not really too much to ask for is it? Just a team and a club to be proud of.

I know this s***s on the other lower league teams, but I'd love to see the reserve teams have a meaningful league to play in. I think this happens in Germany in the lower leagues. I wonder what rules/regulations there are about what league they can play in, can they get promoted, what players can play in reserves vs first team etc

Is water wet?

He was an idiot and the "not fit to referee" chants were loud and clear. Most of the bad refs we get are just incompetent, this guy actually looked biased. The funny part of this statement is that the Liverpool fans reckoned the same thing.....so the Ref must have been biased in both directions.

He is still here. I watched my first Villa match in 1973. I am honestly struggling to think of a single midfielder we've had play for us in any regularity since then who has impressed me less in the intervening 37 years. And I'm including some real dross in that consideration. He's an absolute toilet of a player. In fact, no, that's wrong. To be classed as a toilet, to earn any sort of classification, he'd had to do something to get noticed. He's the most anonymous player I have ever, ever seen. Under MON he'd get used for 10-15 mins as a sub, and avoid the ball. Under Houllier, he is fortunately one of the players struck down in our injury crisis. He's the only one of them I am hoping has a setback. And for that he's picking up, what, 45,000 pounds a week? Wrong. Brummie.....quick clarification please. Is Sidwell a toilet from before or after the Villa/Brum game? Just wondering just how bad he is

Pardew said he'd be in charge but would take advice from Pedro and Stone. Translation - I'm in charge if we win, but it's not my team/responsibility if we loose
