Yeah, I really like it.

Anyone know what Shearer's career penalty record actually was? It's not very Google-friendly.

Is that a joke? I can't tell. Same think it was serious, but will turn into one of those "whoosh" ones. difficult to gauge. It just has soo much wrong with it, ignoring the Bale comment, the fact that the keeper who started today was from a team bottom of the premiership etc.. Unless it's a "inside joke" I have missed I just don't understand it And, erm, Spurs finished 4th this season.

Heard loads & still here the odd black c*** remark when Shola f***s up. Not saying it's acceptable, because of course it isn't, but in those instances "black" is used to describe him, with c*** being the actual insult, and the insult is being issued purely for footballing reasons and nothing to do with race. It's like calling Le Tissier a big nosed t*** or Dennis Wise a midget prick. Sorry mate but that is the bog standard excuse trotted out by the racists in the 70s and 80s. If he was ginger/fat/big nosed/dwarf/cemetary teeth/ludicrous haircut he would get stick from the crowd because of this, but if he's black you can't say anything. Both terms are the insult not just one. Agree entirely. To say the term "black cunt" is ever understandable never mind acceptable is pretty shameful as far as I'm concerned, soz Chris.

I've had a flutter on a load of random South American games because I'm bored and doing so is always such a fruitful exercise.

He moved in with Ronaldo, that's my take on it.

Hate the Daily Mail, but there's no point in our club picking fights left, right and centre imo. Counter-productive.

An entertaining read.

It's a direct quote from someone else. Is he under any obligation to print an apology? No. The objectionable bit isn't the journalist talking, or the paper. It's the twat from Chelsea. It's surely partly the journalist and the paper though, howay. It must come to a point where the journalist thinks "hang on I can't write that. Not without checking my facts out anyway". And in turn, the paper's editor's also responsible.

Can you remember when they invited offers for the club by giving an email address so bidders could get in touch? Still can't quite believe that ever happened.

Quite a lot of comments under the article going mad about it actually.

Maybe a few complaints are in order, it's pretty offensive especially for a throwaway remark in an article that should have fuck-all to do with us.

Not sure if it'll get me into trouble on here or not, I'll PM you. Just put it in spoilers, if it's a direct quote you'll be fine3. Feel free to delete mods, whatever you reckon.

Protesters outside the ground? God, just fuck off. Notice they never mentioned what George Best said when Cole signed for Man U, which may have actually conveyed the point they were attempting to.

I predict that I'll spend more money than I'll make.

Howdy partners, how y'all doin? I'm just fine and dandy. Oh, that Mike.

Look! No star collar. http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8399/nufc2.jpg

Surely if they put the Puma cat where it should be then it would have to be black to stand out on the white stripe? I think that's their reasoning behind it tbh, don't see why we couldn't just have the crest and sponsor aligned down the centre like on last seasons strip though. I don't think so. Just did this on Paint, it looks much better imo. Still not great or owt mind. http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1315/nufcv.jpg

On the subject of away strips, do kit-makers find that changing them once a year actually turns out in more sales? I would be far, far, far more likely to buy an away top if we wore it for 2 years and it would take something special for me to buy a top we only had for a year. Don't know if I'm in the minority there.

You didn't see the other photo then? as in the away tops photo? if so then yes, and?

It's actually nearly 35/1 on Bet365, I'll probably hoy a few quid at it.

Favourites for their groups.

I know people on here were saying it'll be really difficult to predict the World Cup group winners with any conviction, and rightly so. But going for France, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Holland, Spain, England and Italy (i.e. the favourites) gives you odds of 30/1. That's got to be worth 2 or 3 quid.

I just don't know why the Puma's in the middle on the home shirt, it looks shite. Not that happy with the star collar either.
