Abramovich would be mad to get rid of Ancelotti.

Aye, Lampard's always seemed like a top bloke.

Love him more than ever, which is saying a lot.

As much as I despise John Terry and the England team, Italy won the World Cup with (largely) 2002's batch of chokers. Implementing new players across the board is rarely the answer.

Had a good season or two between 06 and 08. Rules him out.

WHY NOT?

It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. Certainly not Kazeiro, who's my pal.

Which insults?

Can we all just agree that it's a toss-up between Smith and Lovenkrands?

Kaziero agrees. I'm sure he has loads of enjoyment placing those £200 doubles on that he's 'relying on'. Anyway, we all gamble for different reasons. It's f***ing ludicrous that some little b****** tells me i'm a less of a fan for putting money where my opinions are. I never want us to drop points, ever.

The discussion's surpassed the first example, mate.

It's called conviction. It says nothing about your priorities.

Same here, man. Stood to make a very tidy profit, but was down at Villa Park praying that we'd snatch a point. Went fucking insane when news of the Man U goal came in. Is it really so difficult for some of you to compartmentalize what you want to happen and what you think will happen? Sorry, like, but you're not going very far if that's the case.

Needless bet to make then no? How? Sentimentality is part of the reason the bookie generally comes off best. Bet with your head. 20/1 represents pretty incredible value, especially in retrospect. Except his bet does have a sentimental element to it, although it's a negative one. He's not betting with his head - Villa and Sunderland both on ridiculous slides and both arguably in as good of a chance of going down as us, yet he bets on us. If he wasn't a NUFC fan, I would put everything on him not putting the same bet on. 20/1 is great value, he is using his head. Him being an NUFC fan puts him in a better position to place an NUFC bet than most. Gambling is about using what you know.

The Euromillions doesn't involve any knowledge, it's a completely flawed comparison.

It's a popular view, and i'll never really understand it.

Never once said he was 'better' than Lescott, or 'significantly' better than Williamson. More outright lies. Not sure how any of that is relevant to this anyway.

He's already said he hopes he doesn't collect.

According to?

Are you talking about the Luque before the serious injury and mistreatment or the Luque prior to those events? He's talking about the actual Luque, not the hypothetical world beater. This is where you lot are failing to understand the argument and so there is no point continuing it.

This is where you lot are failing to understand the argument and so there is no point continuing it. You're building a Luque who never existed, a Luque who should have taken Shearer's place in the team. The actual Luque was there and did nothing to earn his wages or justify his price tag. It's as simple as that. Again, you were about 7 at the time and you're completely ignoring what you've just been told by VI - who saw plenty of him. I was roughly 34 at the time and fully concur with what the 7-year-old said. I, unlike you, was sat just behind the dug-out at Spurs when he refused to warm up (for the game Owen was crocked in, as I recall) because he was on the bench. Terry Mac had to physically push him onto the pitch. Luque was a disgrace. End of. You rate Steven Taylor, you've clearly never been that close to a footie pitch.

No, you're solidly average - good.

Where have all these completely crap posters come from?

I can't laugh at the fact that we're basically begging to be relegated.

I said 3 years ago that Faye was the ideal partner for Coloccini, shame it never happened.
