Interpolic

We've got A LOT of foreigners in our first 11 haven't we, it's just hit me. Hope Smith plays to give us some British steel in midfield.

Can't personally see anything but Krul, Simpson, Perch, Coloccini, Santon, Obertan, Tiote, Vuckic, Jonas, Ba, Best.

That's certainly how it appears in the Journal article at least. They say "In the most bullish statement of intent from someone inside St James’ Park yet, Pardew says he expects his skipper’s situation to have been “resolved” by the end of January" followed by the statement from Pardew, which is pretty wooly and not at bullish. Just saying fingers crossed and this time giving timescales, also stating there's been no rejection of a contract.

He has zero football intelligence imo, that's the problem with him. Far too often makes the wrong choice.

:lol:

This thread's fucking bizarre.

Fucking hell.

I believe he likes it here and will stay if the offer is right (the same as Enrique btw). I am therefore 99% certain that what we are offering constitutes a pay cut, otherwise it would be signed already. As such, though I assume your post is meant as a joke, unless there is a satisfactory conclusion to these negotiations it will end up being what people say I'm afraid. 'If he likes it so much, he'll take a pay cut' etc. Seen it a few times already. Sorry but I have to disagree with the first line. Enrique was never going to stay here. I've seen rats flee a sinking ship with more decorum than the way he left. Really, when was this?

I can't see us getting £30m+ for Tiote like, not at all.

Doubt they'll want as much for him me, nor would they get it. Strikers cost more, English costs more. £20m-25m will do it imo.

Pretty sure Colocho was referring to the Ameobis only, was just phrased in a way that could have been taken another way.

Waldo's bad enough - you meet some twat at a party in Shoreditch and he's called Waldo and you think "Christ, I don't care what he's like, I bet he's a total fucking ponce". I met a guy called Merlin last night and just fucking walked away. Anyway this guy's surname is Ponce ffs. Aye, ana he's foreign.

What's Obertan's supposed best position, on the right of a front 3?

That is a fucking ridiculous name.

He's no oil painting.

Remember Jimmy Bullard?

Thing is though that it's not mandatory and, who knows, maybe not even suggested as a good idea to the players - so he's done nowt wrong. Another case of the internet causing an issue that wouldn't have been so otherwise.

Aye, people just kick off about anything these days. Bent's spot on with what he says, "I hope to be back very soon. Watched the majority of he game on tv. Never knew popping out would cause an issue and for that I apologise."

The only ones I've been to this year are Forest and Norwich - 13 goals in 2 games. I'm going to this one so let's see if it's another high scoring game.

"Cheek Tiote, riot please"? What I hear as well. Areet lads, it's not the X Factor.

Funnily enough that's what I said to my lass when she said the pill was giving her spots. FFS.

David Silva, nee bother.

How do you do these 'either or' bets, are they an option on SkyBet?

Cool typo bro.

Proper London boy imo, couldn't see him moving elsewhere. Was linked with Spurs last week in the Standard.
