Pilko

He follows in the footsteps of former superyouth striker Michael Chopra in being packed off to Barnsley on loan.

A business to run selling meat and tabs down the local pub has never been so glam.

@ Dave's "Go on Ryan" response

Does he say "Lezzers End"?

Sammy is moving closer to a start, then.

It's absolutely critical that we utilise Jonas properly in this game, and I don't think I'd be comfortable trying him in a new position. Certainly not in this match.

Tavernier has played maybe two or three League Cup ties? None of the others have made a first-team appearance for us.

Emre was never actually done for being racist though, was he?

Pards out

Was like that last year, just the two turnstiles open, I got in with like a minute played and there was still a huge queue behind me.

Osman's not a bad player but he totally doesn't fit our bill.

That sentence makes my eyes bleed.

I noticed Martin Samuel used both names in his caption of his article about Pardew.

Depeche Mode - Wrong

Bet all the toothless simpletons and men with eyebrows on their cheeks are fucking delighted.

Agree, he's a fucking cheat with a nose that doubles as a tin opener.

If that Barry goal gets put down as an o.g. then what does that mean re: first goalscorer bets? Does the o.g. count?

Barry and Zamora start and Sturridge left out.

Threw my last 87p at Zlatan FG, odds are 8/1.

Love the Le Sib article. Be great to see him land a management job, he did always seem quite an articulate fella.

Makes sense, especially if Lovenkrands pushes through his move. Him and Maiga in, Lovenkrands out and maybe loan Ranger or someone.

Only problem is, the Keegan statue would walk off after a few years

If we're doing the Portsmouth goal, we need to have a Shola statue backheeling the ball into his path, non?

A statue of him testing Neil Lennon's dental insurance would be a good one imo. Either that, or one of him cowering under a larger statue of Iain Dowie.

A red and blue striped away kit is probably the one I fear most for next season.
