Still continuing that Hughton crusade I see. I like Hughton as a person and was one of the few on N-O to support him when he was made permanent manager here, but Norwich under him are absolutely unwatchable, dude. They almost make us look like entertainers again.

You hope.

He was our best player when we made him captain and had a fantastic season to be fair to him. He's the best defender I've seen in our colours but he's no captain. I wanted to think he was, but he isn't.

Harsh to strip him of the captaincy. Is this serious? Cabaye can communicate with the rest of the team, leads by better example and doesn't want to sod off to play for some Mickey Mouse team in Argentina. Would be a twattish thing to do by the club. He's obviously got personal issues, we're the ones who've given him permission to spend some time back home while he's injured, you can't then go, 'oh by the way, you're not captain anymore'. We should've stripped him the second he said he wanted to leave. The only twattish thing here is him collecting a quarter of a million quid a month from a club who paid £10m for you and then saying 'I want to go to a club who'll pay fuck all for me, hurry up and make it happen'.

Watch them try to turn him into Grant Holt. He won't like it there. In fact, there isn't an attacking player in the world who would be well advised to go near that club.

Aye, should think so. 65 quid.

Same, was a little worried at times but glad I went for an England win. Tool! Had 8-0 and 6-0.

Quality. First bet I've won in ages.

Sadly not.

This is the second time since 1993.

Abuse. Don't think you could play Cabaye and Wilshere together, like. Sissoko or Lampard would have to be in there for me, fwiw. Like Debuchy but I think Richards and Johnson are probably better. Anyway, I'll leave it there. I learnt that it's silly to unfavourably compare our lot since I wasted 3 days of my life arguing with all and sundry on here when I said Drogba was better than Owen.

Better depth perhaps but I look at their first Xl and ours and I think ours is comfortably better.

Finishing 4th (fwiw) would mean more than winning the WC, certainly.

I look at the countries around us, including France and think that generally we're better off.

Baines/cole leaves a lot to be desired?

Reminds me of when Larry told Leon up to dress like an accountant in Curb.

Needs baggy clothes to conceal his weapon.

What a tool.

I do like Carrick, for the record. Always thought he was class and should be starting ahead of Barry.

Great stuff.

Need to make that farmer an offer he can't refuse so the training facilities can be developed.

There's a plethora and we all know it. He's off home, his wife isn't ill by all available accounts and he willingly allowed it to be reported that she was in an attempt to mitigate his departure. Those are facts. Sorry.

There's no evidence pointing to a different scenario and we know the story about his wife came directly from the club, obviously with his endorsement.
