Spurs bench having "a player who will no longer be considered for selection", 5 youth randoms, and Darren Bent Who the fuck is "Parrett"?

I hear NE5 is going to be cast as Freddy Shepherd.

The answer: take Ashley Cole out, he gets nee assists, and get Maynor Figueroa in. Been excellent all season, Wigan get buckets of clean sheets and he gets lots of assists. hth

What, similar to the Kinnear-o-meter in the Relegation thread? Good shout.

Good, that orange smug twat looks like even more of a bellend now. Bet he didn't even have a proper medical. He can't have. Also wp Fulham for realizing that his knee was a time bomb and offloading him to the gormless sods

Shearer was more of a leader, a talisman, an inspiration. Owen is a quiet little shit who is made of glass.

Still hasn't ruled it out.

If Viduka is fit enough to even play just an hour he should start, and then we can chuck on Martins, Smith or Shola on the hour depending whether we need to chase, close down or try and throw away the game.

If Wenger rates him as a scout, he must be at least competent at the role. Offer him an upstairs role working in tandem with Wise or a scouting role or whatever. Whoever said offer him a job in the reserves or academy is surely joking, Kinnear fucking hates our youth players, that's why he never plays them Kinnear would ruin our academy.

It's gotta be so easy to pull girls as a footballer. ...Not for everyone http://img.skysports.com/08/01/218x298/Petera_Ramage_625679.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q30/perkel4346/Blog%20Pictures/metthewpattison.jpg http://images.sportinglife.com/08/08/330/PaulMcShane_1153567.jpg http://img.skysports.com/08/01/218x298/David_Wheater_624458.jpg http://www.fansfc.com/UploadedImages/Players/Dirk%20Kuyt_633570741987343750.jpg http://img.skysports.com/08/02/218x298/Richard_Dunne_647005.jpg You did miss a few out.

Yes, I know, the R*nnie R*dford goal and all that, but my first ever visit to a stadium that wasn't SJP was to Edgar Street. I can't remember who they were playing (was a team in red fwiw) but it ended 3-3 and I really enjoyed it. And my uncle was best mates with Steve Guinan when they were at school.

I wish him all the best.

Both.

Yeah, but you could say that Jonas isn't assisting or getting goals aswell. Its the same argument. Bassong isn't the entire defence just as much as Jonas isn't the entire midfield. Agreed.

To be fair. Xisco has something to prove, as do Lovenkrands and Enrique. Harper will obviously want to make the most of his opportunity. So you wouldn't expect anything less. Insomnia for one obviously thought he didn't have much to prove, when he really does, so I'm thankful we're rid of him and his attitude (I can appreciate we're not the most attractive club for a young player to be at right now, but he went the wrong way about it). Beye is just a swell guy. But for Xisco, and to an extent Enrique, you'd think they'd be mightily pissed off with their lack of playing time. N'Zogbia moaned about his lack of playing time, even though he spent about four games on the bench when fit all season. Xisco has made about 3 starts and the same amount of late sub appearances, and he hasn't whined a bit. Superior attitude.

A lot of players in this squad (Xisco, Lovenkrands, Harper, Enrique, Beye) seem to have excellent attitudes.

Hereford are so fucking heroic. Steve Guinan is the most honest pro I think I've ever seen.

Can't we just see if Smith fancies playing for the Falcons? See if he can't channel that aggression somewhere useful.

Can't disagree with anything stu has said there. And yes, it is Nixon.

That way more people can participate. Good idea.

And now this: I'm not the fucking gaffer, or the captain, or whatever

I intend to take Butt and Smith to the roughest bar in the town, leave them in the middle of it surrounded by burly badly blokes, run to the doorway before shouting "You bunch of soft fucking bastards!" and then running out of the pub. That should see to them for a few weeks.

Michael Foster told me he couldn't go, so please scratch him off the list. And I'm was quite shocked (and pleased) to find this in my inbox:
