Anderson

I know one of the cricketers went to school with him, one of the others is his brother! Didn't suss it was them til about the 4th time they were shown like haha!

Looked as though he'd forgotten how to run, seriously thought it was going to turn into a skip half through.

Absolutely brilliant seeing the players and fans at the end there.

Not been his biggest fan but thought he was brilliant today. Did anyone catch him going to pull a Villa sniper shot MKII today, all be it a lot less OTT, when Brosceli (sp?) tried to claim hand ball.

Barton's Skysports photo still raises a smile every time.

I think Otter hit the nail on the head earlier in the thread ( ). He's lost in an Arsenal or a Spurs team, whereas at Blackburn he was the big fish in the small pond. It'll be similar if he comes here, and I can see him responding well to it. On a loan deal, he'd be perfect. In what universe are Newcastle United a small pond and in which dimension would the David Bentley off the past couple of seasons be a big fish here? Probably in the one where they've just come up from a year in the Championship. Although Bentley wouldn't necessarily be a 'big fish' here, but much more down to his level.

"Qatar, f***ing up international football tournaments since 2011" should be their new slogan.

Ahh the last couple have been summer tournaments which is why I've never heard of players missing games for it before. Seems silly to move it to mid-season.

Didn't know about this. Does this mean players like Park and Cahill go away for a while a la the African Nations cup?

And for Keane either loan or a £2/3mish transfer with 2 year contract. If it was more than that and I'd rather look elsewhere.

Chelsea have Anelka, Drogba and Malouda all the wrong side of 30. I'm sure Sturridge will be very content with biding his time for a couple more years on his silly wage and waiting to see what happens there before moving to a lesser club, earning less money, in search of 1st team football.

Fuck! Didn't realise the mackems was only a fortnight away, that's creeping up very quick.

They all seem very open to Smith returning. That could definitely be arranged.

City are in talks with Dzeko now anyway so that's one potential suitor ruled out for next month.

Not once Simpson was back, no. Hughton always had Jose though.

Bale on the counter attack is unreal like.

This is going to be like the 3-2. Ranger playing Martins' role and Smith Butt's.

Danny Guthrie in Aspers tonight. Got in a bit bother outside on Stowell Street. When I was there his lass was going wild throwing her heels at these lads who were shouting 'your just a scouse f***ing reject' to which Danny responded, now surrounded by security and his crazy lass 'there's 4 of you, f***ing pussies'. After he went back inside I was speaking to some other lads who'd been watching and reckon that one of the lads shouting abuse had floored him earlier, just before I walked out it seemed.

Ah where's the sig someone made for him, much better than his now.

Would love for them 2 to sign up for the next 5 years. Definitely make me a lot more optimistic about the direction the club's heading.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Power Ranger

These are shite man, we've just given them a 2 goal head start.

Sporting a Mr T look today.. MR T(iote)

Ah that's areet. The bigger the cunt he his the less likely someone is going to bid big money for him. Probably complete bullshit anyway.

PARDEW OUT!
