Unfortunate

widely available coin throwing gif Coins everywhere in the end few frames, could have easily been blinded. Idiots.

Remember my first match mid 90's vs Palace at SJP where my parents bought me tickets for my birthday, it was a treat and couldn't afford it often. Unfortunately it was ruined by a babbling racist ion his 50's who my Mam kindly asked to tone it down to which she got a mouthful - obviously my Dad kicked off resulting in a scuffle. Me being 8ish I was shit scared. Makes me watch my mouth (swear words only) at matches to this day. More recently, West Ham away in 07/08 season I think, outside a pub was a horrible atmosphere. Birmingham on my first visit, 2002 the 'Town full of pakis' chant got aired. Villa away when we got relegated was definitely worst I've experience with 'fans' giving racist abuse to any passer by from the buses, the bus I noticed later had a gollywog at the front, felt uncomfortable all the way home. Luckily, not much else, other then drivel of some idiot nearby making sly comments about Shola or any other black player they can remember the name of. Always find pre-match bars much worse than in the actual ground.

Good move for him I think, just hope he gets some game time and doesn't make a fool of himself. Joe Cole appeared to enjoy his time in France, hopefully same for Barton.

Barca win, Arsenal win and Chelsea draw - 11/1 Not too bad odds

I can see it now - Nike take over naming rights and make shirts... but agree to allow SportsDirect to whack their name on our kit as sponsor.

How would people react if he did this then renamed the east stand the Sir Bobby Robson stand?

I would have thought we would play 5 in midfield, or rather Ben Arfa instead of Best just behind Ba. Nevermind. Happy to see Guthrie get a chance, he did well against Blackburn. Obertan played alright when he came on against Blackburn too, though I imagine that is because he is most likely going to be an impact sub in future.

For absolutely no reason other than a dream I had last night, I reckon we will win 3-0. Backed it at 50/1 with a massive £1! Also got £4 on Cabaye anytime at 5/1.

Using that as a starting point, Chelsea will get destroyed by Man City.

Happy for RvP more than anything. And Arsene to be honest. (Still kicking myself for dropping him as captain)

RvP Gutted I dropped him as my dreamteam captain for Silva...

"I was getting death threats al second half" heard over the microphones there ahaha

Jesus.

I knew leaving RvP as my captain was sensible

Or raising the standard you could argue. Man Yoo had a very good team that would have equalled this at one point, as did Chelsea. If you are arguing it is a farce due to their ability to spead money etc, then it has surely been a farce since the Russian arrived?

I can't believe I thought Man Yoo would win the title. Based on this the don't have a chance.

Sky always manage to capture the fans when they are singing something with the word 'fuck' in - meaning it is quite possible to see around 50 people giving the V's. Rather amusing.

A lass on my Facebook: Just seen the incredibly good looking Yohan Cabaye in metro with equally good looking wife and probably good looking child. Damn that man is hot. Wish I had been there

Stoppage time should be the same as in rugby, as in when a player is down injured, that time is stopped - not just 1 minute added on no matter how long they are down. Annoys me a little. Shirt rule is definitely the silliest though.

Why on one side is there about 10 seats between the fans, then on the other there is literally only a row of stewards?

Reading the last couple of pages the general feeling is Ben Arfa needs more time. Then I go into the Obertan thread and Pardew gets critiscised for saying he needs more time. Fickle?

Keep forgetting about this one (yet I am going). Hoping we don't change the team completely, Krul should keep his place - I don't see the point in resting keepers.
