It's a one time thing because it's being held in (guess) Qatar

WTF, not even a booking for that? Ridiculous.

Can they please be relegated? Surely it's not too much to ask?

Thanks but we're actually one of the taller teams.

Group A: Qatar, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, China The "evenly matched" Group Group B: Japan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria The "three random Arab nations getting spanked by the Scum" Group Group C: South Korea, Australia, Bahrain, India The "Can India get out of this with better than -10 goal difference?" Group Group D: North Korea, Iraq, Iran, UAE The "Axis of Evil Reunion" Group Will South Korea and Japan finally fulfill their potential? Will one of the West-Asians once again cheat their way to victory? Would you like to get one last look at Qatar before they rebuild the entire goddamn country from scratch? TUNE INTO THE ASIAN CUP STARTING JANUARY 7TH! ....eh, just wanted to make a thread for the Asians/Aussies on the board to discuss the tournament and have some banter really. For the record, I think we're awesome and we'll batter all of you.

Shola is due a "oh, let me play well enough to put myself back in the first team reckoning so I can be shit for 90 minutes again" game.

An entire month out sounds pretty fatal for us. Those are some very winnanle games we now wont be winning

Somebody out there is desperate enough to shell out the daft money on him. Probably one of the shit clubs starting with "w" Getting a loan bid accepted just doesnt sound realistic at all

I hope you have a good enough year to last you through another relegation. - in before crumpy

Hmmm... Why does that seem vaguely familiar

YOU'RE NOT BEING NEGATIVE ENOUGH LET ME SHOW YOU SOME REAL NEGATIVITY YOU PANSIES

Pretty much unfathomable for me how either of us will scored a goal.

Turned us down so that he could stay at Portsmouth. Then again, I suppose its possible that he's just smarter than all of us and noticed that Ashley is a fucking lunatic way before anyone else.

They have no incentive to loan him out to us unless we were paying all of his wages and a handsome loan fee as well. He's not a prospect they have to develop so there's no reason they can't just have him rotting on the bench. There's little love lost between us and Redknapp as well. Whatever way we end up getting him he'd be pretty costly financially.

Seriously, region-blocking should be a god damn crime against humanity.

Nah mate, I tried desperately to find one from him for the ending. Aww man :/ I've tried looking for one and it's just impossible He gave an excellent one before the Chelsea game on Sky, but I forgot to save it.

That's cuz he's not Korean. Well, obviously.

Vukic hasn't even shown enough to convince me that he'll get a professional contract, never mind getting into the first team.

Can't see how this is anything but good news. Dear me, 5m.. Spending 5m now feels like spending 10m used to pre-Ashley.

I look forward to the day that this thread is closed to be honest. Even if we lose to both shit teams that start with a "w", we still probably wont be in the zone so saying "nailed on relegation" or "must win" is silly. Fact of the matter is that we are always in a relegation fight. We don't suddenly stop being in one because we win or start being in one because we lose. All this thread is is basically the most egregious form of institutionalized knee jerking ever seen on the internet

Perch offered a backup option across the entire defense for two pence and a bag of crisps. It's not working out for him but I can see why he was signed.

they'll run out of money, and it'll go tits up. give it a couple of seasons The Champions League $$$ will help with that. Pisses me off that there's now a "second layer" of teams who we'll never be competitive with developing under the big 4. At least Liverpool are out of it for now, however temporary that may be.

Without doubt, but we supposedly replaced Hughton as an upgrade. Pardew will rightly get stick unless he proves himself to be better than Hughton, because that was the whole point. He's a brand new model with 300% better arse-licking.

Even if it's at the expense of Sunderland, I'll never feel comfortable enough to say that Blackpool continuing to put points on the board is a good thing.
