What was the crack with that old boiler with the ponytail who I kept seeing with the Spanish squad? She was always next to the pitch whenever they made substitutions. Hardly like the Chelsea physio Btw, did I read the aforementioned Chelsea is no longer there? Pards got her coming here?

I don't know why everyone is panicking? 'We only have 3 cf's now....... we are going to be light...... Ba and Cisse at the ACN's.......panic, panic, panic.....' Chill out fellas. I have it on fantastic (made up) authority and we are going to use the Spanish template and not bother with forwards anyway. Yo, Hatem and the new 'Pardew'd' Obertan are the new Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc. No worries. Relax a little

You should get that checked out mate.

I like it

Great advice.

Fuck me, anyone seen the Betfair advert with Harry holding an iPad in the paper today (The Sun Goals page 3)? I wish I could link it. Horrendous!

I am not one of the many Simpson haters, but, my word, what an upgrade Debuchy would be

Fixtures start getting produced as soon as all the clubs in the leagues are known. Clubs are asked for any needs they have, I.E. if one club wants to be paired with another club so when they are home the other club is home or the other club is away when one is at home, this can cross leagues as well. They then come up with the best possible list, the one where those fixtures come from then they are handed to the police forces and clubs to see if they match their criteria. It's weird how it works out, apparently Gillingham are chain linked with clubs like Portsmouth and Southampton in what fixtures they can have. So a team a hundred miles or so away in a different league can affect when and where you play your matches. It's crazy. Fascinating stuff. I genuinely thought it was just spat out by a super duper computer. Never realised the planning that when into it. Read that BBC piece from the other year that someone has linked. Aye, I started to, but I am going to bed before midnight! Will have to read it on the bog tomorrow

That was actually quite a moment of the season for me. Aye me too. Pissed myself laughing for ages

Quite

In other words 'fuck off' Fergie

Sounds quite exciting! I wish I had read that at the time. I am all horned up now

on your ma LOL.

Roy Keane really slagging Joey off in the Sun today http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article4340093.ece

Even the yanks who know nowt about football (see Mike) know Owen is finished and will offer them nothing, especially if it means taking up one of their super slots in the squad.

Stealing. stolen

I thought it was straightforward tbh

I presume you mean Spurs and what a load of bollocks. How much does he earn already, 100 grand a week? I reckon he can probably afford it himself. Don't think many employers would give you a payrise on the basis of "I'm going to give it to the poor" No, he definitely means Arsenal

Good post, as a professional manager judged on results I can see why Pardew sometimes does more conservative things than we might do. But you're right he needs to select the right players if he goes 442. There have been a few mystery bad performances like Everton, wonder if there's a reason beyond the normal "off day" explanation. One of the names linked with the Liverpool job according to todays Sun

Why are we invited to 'Skit intro'? I for one would never skit Yo about anything!

Aye, proper lunatic. Will get a HUGE ban
