Did Sheva get booked for that?

Full on abusing Cole after booking him. Strange officiating.

Agreed. Great hit.

If Cole scores there it pretty much guarantee's us the first place, right?

Under the cosh here. We need an outball and quick.

Agree with the above. Debuchy will have some appreciation of the fact we've been after him for a while, he must have had conversations with NUFC, whether directly or indirectly and will hear good things from Cabaye and HBA etc. I'd day we've got as much chance as anyone, if not more due to the history/length of the relationship.

Oooof.

Next time he pulls up outside your house, casually walk over, sit in the drivers seat and mention to him that you think one of his brake light covers is cracked. As he jumps from his seat to investigate, slam the car into reverse and end him. The best thing is, you won't even get done. Tell the police he told you to reverse it to check the reverse light and you slipped. Get up.

Wonder if Given will have his Solicitor preparing a nationality request statement. He seemed to spit his dummy out everytime we got stuffed by more than a few goals.

It would be a mistake for him to leave NUFC right now. From his viewpoint, he needs a year of playing top level football consistently and then one of the huge clubs may come in for him, as it stands I think those clubs would know they were taking a risk on him. As much personality wise as football. We need to enjoy him whilst he's here though because, let's face it, he's got a habit of moving about/falling out with people and he's in the absolute top drawer of players meaning there'd be no shortage of takers should he spit his dummy out.

Aye. Would do it if I was able to open a sky bet account. Tensions are clearly high and apparently the dutch squad were abused yesterday during an open training session by local Polish fans. The first time it happens the players will want to publically fuck it all off I reckon.

Skybet have a 'What If' special. 16/1 for any match to be abandoned due to hostile fans. Is that worth a daft tenner given the racism/general right wing issues surrounding the tournament?

Huge commitment that. An 8 year deal for a chief scout is surely unheard of?

You should've said one of your mates mentioned something about Jerome being in the club and you being gutted it wasn't Robson and Jerome.

Pleased for the lad after such a shitty injury. Also, great news that he's getting recognition whilst a NUFC player.

Thanks Spence. Out of interest, do you know when the 2 hatricks have been scored (i.e: in which competitions?)

Just looking at the Euro specials on Betfair. Does anyone know where I can find historic data on the Euro's? Specifically, there's an 18/1 bet for 3 hattricks or more in the competition. Seems like a (very) long shot from memory but there are some shit sides in the comp this time around. Also, France to make the final at 5's. I'm on that.

Very interesting piece and he's talking a low of sense there, especially about the England job. Edit - Also very interesting comments on Ashley's view of the Cisse signing. He's obviously very very close to the day to day management of the club. You've got to assume Ashley is a fan of Pardew given the performance this season, the general turn in atmosphere, good handling of the press and the fact that he's trusted him, Carr etc in the Cisse signing. He's basically going to make a profit on Cisse whenever we do sell him, which will please him no end.

I'd imagine, just based on the last few years worth of transfer activity, that there'll be arrivals before the Euro's. Also, educated guess, that we'll be unlikely to sign many of those whom the press link us to. It'll be Cabaye/Cisse-esque for the most part imho.

The guy is on an absolute hiding to nothing. He's fucking nuts taking the job on.

Anyone in their right mind would have Glen Johnson replaced with Richards and Downing replaced with Adam Johnson.

I'm sorry but there's no way Redknapps squad would have been too far off Hodgsons.

Jesus H. Anyone know of any paint drying events next month? Think I'll head there instead of watching that shower.

York 2pm race - will Betfair pay out to 4 places if backed on the exchanges - anyone know?

What a fantastic tip. I got 5/2 on betfair for Adelaide. Top bombing. Have we missed the boat on this one? Indeed. 89 mins played, Adelaide 2 up.
