Can someone please find me a hat to eat.

Hard to argue with that. I'd rather we lost having a go than lost like this.

Anyone thinking that Nolan will ever get substituted must have been sniffing glue. He'll play every minute of the league campaign for which he's fit for. Deep down, we all know that.

And maybe we're on course here for a result that could let Ashley know that too. Getting twatted of Man U isn't the worst thing that can happen when the transfer window is still open. Not saying I want us to get beaten, as I don't, but if anything sneaking an undeserved result here could have been a bad thing to happen long-term.

I'd be delighted if he re-signed. Not the greatest centre back in the world, or even at the club, but a good asset to have and we'd be daft to let him go.

Holloway has boosted his reputation massively by getting Blackpool to the Prem, where they'll get humped every game so he'll not help that reputation (Despite people's low expectations) by hanging round to oversea the ensuing relegation. Still be surprised if he's resigned though.

Loan deal? Just fucking buy him. Tight bastards.

Which twat upped this on the eve of a match? Just spent 5 minutes trying to get ESPN working on the telly.

Can't see this coming off, things this good just don't happen to us.

Should Campbell be automatic first chouce? Any 2 of Colo, Taylor and Williamson would be fine IMO. Not saying Campbell shouldn't start mind.

I think I'd genuinely jizz in my pants if we signed Ben Arfa. But I refuse to get my hopes up, life isn't that kind to us.

Lovely. Despite the general consensus of hatred on here, I want Xisco to succeed.

Radio Norfolk saying Routledge played Shola in. Anyone clarify?

Can't see past that, though of course only 2 of them are big teams. (France are rubbish )

Awful things. Normally when watching football I like to hear the passion of the crowd, the chants, the atmosphere. Now that's all drowned out and the only thing I can hear is "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

did you read the title ? I think the dots were supposed to be a space.

Can't see exactly what the petition says at work (Blocked under the category "advocacy groups" by our automatic web filtering system) but it can't hurt if we can get a few signatures on there and show a bit of support. I can only imagine how awful it must feel to have your club threatened with closure so imminently. Signing the petition may not do much good but at least it shows that we feel for where their fans are at the moment and shows a bit of solidarity. Could so easily be us with the debt we've got.

Heard loads & still here the odd black c*** remark when Shola f***s up. Not saying it's acceptable, because of course it isn't, but in those instances "black" is used to describe him, with cunt being the actual insult, and the insult is being issued purely for footballing reasons and nothing to do with race. It's like calling Le Tissier a big nosed twat or Dennis Wise a midget prick.

I haven't bought a newspaper for about 5 or 6 years. I can't understand why anyone ever does.

Exactly what fucking press conferences would these be? Thought we weren't talking to anyone anymore, so not as if the Daily Heil will be missing out on much.

Argentina won't get past the quarters with that madman in charge. I'll be rooting for them though, hope they do well. Hard to see past Spain IMO, they're rightly the favourites.

Well, if he likes it here we have a good chance of signing him permanently after that. That's the case quite often with those young players imo. It's only the case when the team loaning the player out doesn't want him themselves. I'm very much with Otter on this one. Loaning players like this from other clubs is extremely depressing.

Maybe, but he was a s*** manager. Certainly at this stage of his life anyway, but maybe he can learn from the experience and do better elsewhere but if he stayed at West Ham they'd have had another relegation fight on their hands next year.

Fat Sam would get hounded out of any European club he tried his hoof-it tactics, whereas no chairman in the world outside of Real Madrid could afford Redknapp's mammoth bankrupcy-inducing spendathons that he needs in order to obtain modest success.
