I think some people are a bit too keen to express their disinterest. Aye there are some tits in the side but it's our national side, and I will always want them to do well. I'll be watching every England game at the World Cup like most supporters I'd imagine.

Was Shearer a genius out of curiosity? He was [skirge]fkn[/skirge] fantastic at what he did, and aye he was smart but wouldn't really call him a footballing genius.

Fucks sake, I told her to re-consider that but she was having none of it.

I can't wait for the game tonight, it's gonna be fucking immense. The thought of a scrappy 2-0 win, with a possible own goal included, permanently arouses me.

Cant be bothered to post the pictures but how about Phil Brown and steaming pile of dog shit shaped like a carrot? Just post a pile of dog shit and see whose face you can see resembling it. Hours upon hours of fun...

Haven't read the thread but... Mifsud? Wasn't he Coventry's best player last season or something?

Can only see Rodwell being a defensive midfielder permanent. Seems far too comfortable on the ball to be forced back to DC, but it's a nice option to have. Thank you Joleon. Heitinga, Bily and Distin + spare money.

Don't tell Llambias that, he'd probably believe you and do it. Naked?

Emergency? Does Chris have to run to Manchester with a screeching red siren strapped to the top of his head or something?

Barton would have to be in place of Nolan. Really? I know it's only been 5 games and he's a million miles from perfect, but Nolan deserves a longer run in the side from what I've seen.

2.5m now or nothing in 5/10 months tbh.

What about, after the standard back 4, DM: Smith MC: Guthrie MC: Nolan Then a front 3 of Ameobi, Lovenkrands and Jonas? Imagine that. Ibra Messi and Henry will be shitting themselves senseless I'd say. I FORGOT RYAN TAYLOR IN THE WHOLE PICTURE!

Kevin Nolan far away from the team as possible? Forgive possible ignorance but he's been one of your best players from what I've seen. Yes, some misplaced passes and poor decisions but contributed a fair bit overall. I'd have thought: Harper Enrique Colo Taylor Simpson Jonas Smith Guthrie Lovenkrands Nolan (just behind) Ameobi Barton though will probably end up playing somewhere though because of rotation/injuries etc. Plus Lovenkrands could go up front alongisde Ameobi? Believe it or not, you have options. Plus, Geremi, Butt, and Ranger and his young homies.

Ummm... we still doing this? If so, possibly people can put their names down to fully confirm? If it's the 13th?

Klasnic to Bolton?

[Comment From Jol] The Bentley deal is due to be a season long loan subject to Spurs ITKs agreeing on the move

What the.... Sunderland actually got rid of Collins who's a decent enough defender, for £3m, and got Turner who's slightly better for £12m!?

Yup. Coloccini against Steve Howard would have been scary. He's a Newcastle fan, don't you know?

Good result for you rather than performance. Leicester will be ruing those first-half opportunities/Harper saves, but once you got the goal you were pretty much in full control (mind that was partly down to their toothless 2nd half display). 13 out of 15 = perfect start. Ish.

Now for the inevitable disproportionate pressure on his shoulders.

Think you'll get at least a point.

I'm confused. If you're that desperate for a striker, stick Smith up top? (Yes I do realise he's shite).

No Messi and Iniesta. You've got no chance.

Pompey didn't look all that bad. A fluky/scrappy 1-0 win could just change things a lot for them.

Where's Phil K to tell us how that Mike Ashley comment represents the latest chapter of the media's massacre of Newcastle?
