They'd still need someone to talk. If nobody will there's little they can do. Let's face it, Taylor probably isn't talking right now.

Easy to keep a clean sheet when your opponents don't have a shot. Harper could have got his sandwiches out.

Jammy as fuck. The highlight of the match was a very smokey ale.

Oh dearie me.

err, I did.

May as well score a few more, make it properly funny.

Shit cup anyway.

Yeah. I couldn't be bothered. Not an excuse, I hold my hands up to being a flakey fucker.

Absdolutely nothing should be changed because Phil Brown might whine, the man should be openly mocked in the streets.

The clue is in the word abnormal.

Best cancel all international sport while we're about it, after all, remember Munich 1958 etc. Let's all be scared of everything.

This. Almost makes me racist the way they keep going on. Maybe because you are.

Doubt it if he's got an ankle injury, how much can you recover in two days?

Big dog's cock.

I assume some rich oil sheik is paying both teams to play there. Barcelona and Madrid have played friendlies there for big $$$$$. Yeah, that does make sense.

Why is this game in Qatar? Apologies if this has been covered.

Might be a bit of a laugh.

Anyone else got the Bob The Builder tune in their head?

Love the thread title.

Just a few months ago, I forget which game, some bloke, 40-something, he over-celebrated a goal, flying over the bloke in front of him, then over my mate behind me, knocked me to the ground, then he ended up upside down on the stairs. He was OK, we got him to his feet eventually, he wasn't such a small bloke. I bet that hurt in the morning. I didn't see that so much as felt it. It was funny only when he clearly hadn't completely fucked himself up. Oh bollocks, I bet he posts here.

Do you not even have any constructive reasons as to why you think it is 'never going to happen'? What you've done there is an absolute piece of piss, to just say it's bollocks and not give any opinion as to why. OK, I think the NUST will fall apart due to in-fighting, that there won't be anything like enough money forthcoming to launch a serious bid anyway, and that in the unlikely event of a successful bid that the resulting administration will lack the direction to run a football club. I don't know this, it's more a gut feeling, and as I said, I'm not criticising the people involved, for me the pint's always half-empty, and it's your round.

I hate to be a negative Nelly, but this is never going to happen. I admire the efforts, heaven knows (I'm miserable now) I'm doing bugger all, but I'm convinced of this.

I tried to get a "Ash-ley.....fuck off!" going to it on Saturday, didn't work. I'd had a few.

Sure you said that in jest, but it's worth putting a few quid on it.

Martins. Not so much catching as gently picking up.
