Sarcasm or not, the Japan thread is not funny.

It's Kadar's birthday today as well.

Wow...

The further away he is from our medical team, the better. Are there any good physical rehabilitation centres in New Zealand?

Judging by these comments, I'm expecting: Harper Campbell Williamson Coloccini Simpson Ferguson Guthrie Tiote Nolan Ameobi Best

Referees clearly having a "Most controversial incidents per game" competition this season.

...

Bollocks. Lovenkrands may be poor these days, but he's a model professional. Playing after the death of his father is commitment and professionalism Ranger I'm sure would never display. I adore Lovenkrands for that season in the Championship. Problem is, he only looks good when the rest of the team are dominating their counterparts. We haven't had that this season, for a number of reasons. When we have, Lovenkrands normally nicks a goal.

Harper Simpson Williamson Coloccini Ferguson Guthrie Tiote Nolan Lovenkrands Best Ameobi Subs: Krul, Perch, S. Taylor, Richardson, Newton, Airey, Edmundsson Assuming Jonas, Enrique, Ireland, Barton and Campbell all fail to recover in time.

I've heard nothing about that, I thought we were paying part of his wages. Ireland's father said that it was part of the deal that we didn't pay till he was on the pitch.

Magnificently put together, tbf.

Please: Harper Simpson Williamson Coloccini Ferguson Barton Nolan Tiote Jonas Ameobi Best Subs: Krul, Perch, Campbell, Ireland, Guthrie, Lovenkrands, Kuqi I don't even want Saylor in the squad. I'd actually rather Perch cover RB than Saylor after that abject performance, and I'd rather Campbell cover CB.

BBC: There are a few boos at the whistle, which might be for referee Mark Halsey for his failure to send off Alan Hutton. I know letter of the law says red card, but if it makes the game more entertaining, which it probably will, surely we can forgive Halsey? WTF?

So we should have had three reds to Top 4/London teams today... And none given? Can you imagine if Barton did any of that stuff? Life-time ban.

Some incredible rolls in the middle today after that tackle

I don't mind Webb as a referee, but he's always useless with Newcastle. The standard of refereeing in English football, especially EPL, is absolutely horrendous.

Williamson - 8 Jonas - 6 Swap them around. Thought Jonas played well. Maybe deserved a 7 tbf, but didn't really produce anything of value. Williamson had a really good game, I thought.

Harper - 7 Simpson - 5 S. Taylor - 2 Williamson - 8 Coloccini - 7 Enrique - 6 Nolan - 5 Tiote - 8 Jonas - 6 Best - 7 Lovenkrands - 3 Ferguson - 6 Ameobi - 6 Kuqi - N/A

Source?

looks like he's is a straight jacket there It's not an actual shirt, he went and spent 72 hours having his entire torso re-tattooed. What happened to his arms!?

No where near the horror days of Roeder. We had 13 first team players out at one point, IIRC.

That is unbelievable.

Laughed at that myself
