Aye same here.

How peculiar.

This, I'm just about to lob some Special Toffee off my balcony if score stays the same.

I like that bit, it's like "well obvious most people think this is a shit team and a shit place to live but believe it or not...."

yes it has, gordon milne was a very succesful Dof F somewhere....fucked if i can remember where though. Fair play, how heavy was his involvement and influence though? He was very much in the background from what I can recall. Certainly nowhere near a DOF in the sense Ashley pushed it last time around. And also nothing like the continental DOF role, which is what I was getting at.

Yeah, regardless of all that I'd be well pissed off if we went down this route again. It's never worked in this country.

Just Googled him and there's a lot of hype I wasn't actually aware of. From 15th November: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1227883/Manchester-United-Arsenal-Liverpool-Chelsea-scramble-sign-Connor-Wickham--Wayne-Rooney.html

Thought that as well That has to be the back of the medal - surely the other side's a bit more jazzy.

We won the Irish cup.

That medal's shit like - I got a better one than that for doing the Cancer Run when I was about 11. And I got a sausage roll and a can of pop.

What a guy - the lack of ego on him is so refreshing.

Aye. That one on his right foot was terrible. Wayyyy.

Ryan Taylor smiled, what an occasion.

Yep this, but also Queen of The South cost me £70+ on a 6-way.

Doesn't make a great deal of difference at the end of the day - 18 wins and 5 draws at home over the course of the season is outstanding. Can someone tell me if we are on SSN so I can tell my lass to turn off her Vicar of Dibley DVDs? Cheers.

Fuck's sake.

Pen!

Not happening for me this afternoon.

Sounds like we're opening them up a bit now.

Oh, Bent scored. Phenomenal goalscoring record this season.

Yep, sounds like we're under pressure.

Howay lads.

Agreed. He simply doesn't have the attributes of a good centre midfielder. Not a great passing range, not a great tackler, positional sense isn't the best, poor disciplinary record, doesn't make up for his failings in goals i.e Nolan. Nothing about him really. Sure he can run around like a headless chicken all day and put in some hard graft but that alone just isnt good enough for the Premier league. He's a poor mans Robbie Savage. He's always been a tad over rated imo, not especially good at holding the ball up and didn't really score that many goals, that horrific injury set him back loads like, dont think he's ever truly recovered from it. Aye, he's been finished since the leg break and we've been paying him £50k+/week for much of the time since.

I reckon I'm going to put on the following: Man U / Bolton / Newcastle / Leeds / Barcelona - £6 returns £31.40. Cardiff / Forest / Millwall / Norwich / Dundee / Queen of the South - £4 returns £73.49. Gonna hoy a pound each on Newcastle 5-0 and Newcastle 5-1 (both 50/1). Also I've got a £5 free bet burning a hole in my pocket and might whack it on Newcastle 4-1 at 22/1.
