  1. Why bother with all that when you can have Stoke, Norwich and sunderland on a Super Sunday?
  2. Casually reading through the West Sydney Wanderers forum and notice they've got a 5 page thread calling Mike Ashley a cunt. Good lads. http://www.westsydneyfootball.com/forum/47-non-a-league-football/
  3. Going to take in a West Sydney Wanderers game while I'm down there for the Ashes. The football will be honkingly bad but should be good craic. They won the A-League in their first year of existence.
  4. Utrecht us a quaity trip. Lovely city, great fans and a decent stadium.
  5. A bloke I work with is a genuine ITK for the Mackems and he seems to think it won't be Gus Poyet. He's not forthcoming with much more info yet though, cos I want to wedge on it when he tells me.

    LOL at Lolro

    I thought Everton boss Roberto Martinez pulled off a masterstroke at half-time at West Ham last weekend, putting on Romelu Lukaku and James McCarthy and really pushing for the win. That came off the back of their win over Chelsea, and they have now had two outstanding results in the league. But I just don't understand why Martinez changed the team so dramatically for their Capital One Cup defeat by Fulham. If you were an Everton fan, you might have looked at that competition and thought they could go a long way. I understand why they might change a couple of players, but that game was on Tuesday and they do not play Newcastle until Monday. I know they played well in the first half at Craven Cottage but they got beat. If I were an Everton fan, I'd be miffed. Why not play a strong team and build on the good results they have already had. Bradford and Swansea reached the final last season - why would you not want to get through to the next round? If they had kept the core of the same team for the Fulham game then they would be saying to their fringe players "hey, these boys are playing well and winning. If and when you get a chance, this is what you have to do". Newcastle had a bit of a setback against Hull in their last league game after beating Fulham and Aston Villa and I think that defeat by the Tigers showed they are not quite there. Goodison Park is great at night and there will be a really good atmosphere for this game. The crowd will be up for it and I think Everton will continue their great start to the league season. Under their former boss David Moyes they always had a good side but, with the addition of Lukaku and Gareth Barry, there now seems to be a bit of depth to their side. Prediction: 2-1
  7. Cardiff beat their first XI, why can't we beat their second XI? If we're going out, at least go out fighting.
  8. People will their first name on their shirts. Fuck you, "Ravel" Morrison.
  9. Anyone on student/concession season tickets got them for £5 plus the £1 booking fee.
  10. Kevin Nolan has been added to the NUFC squad.
  11. Disagree. Souness played shit football but occasionally talked some sense. Pardew is a shit manager and every word that comes out his mouth is bullshit.
  12. Iaquinta or Petric would be useful until the end of the season.
  13. I bet we still hear 'Alan Pardew's Black and White Army" from the corner at the next home game.
  14. Reads like it's been written by a 5 year old. Surely we're the most unprofessional club in the country.
  15. Apparently at the start of the season each club was given £200k to enhance the match experience for away fans. Spurs have used it to provide coach travel to away games for all fans. No sign of ours then.
  16. I wouldn't. I don't want anyone at my football club who doesn't want to be here. I'd rather have Anita grafting his bollocks off than a half arsed Cabaye.
  17. MYM 7m Debuchy 5m Sissoko 5m (?) Gouffran 2m Haidara 1m. Aye, that's 30m alright. Think Gouffran was £1.8m and Sissoko £2.1m (or the other way around). No idea what Haidara was. So i've over egged it, if anything. Not to mention to Ba and Perch sales this year, as well as Harper and Simpson leaving. It's basically down to under 10m outlay.
  18. MYM 7m Debuchy 5m Sissoko 5m (?) Gouffran 2m Haidara 1m. Aye, that's 30m alright.
  19. Two We'll be lucky even to get a fakey tomorrow.
  20. Cabaye out and a late fakey for Peter Whittingham.
  21. Anyone who genuinely believes we're going to sign someone is off their tits.
