Village Idiot

Just watching Real Madrid - Getafe, an one of my pet hates has reared its ugly head: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CW6S2bLxo5Q/UEaS1qfGKaI/AAAAAAAAAuo/IrAfoizYyaA/s1600/ssssaaa.jpg A CB wearing #11

Ah, he'll come again. Have faith. Pardew on the other hand I didn't much much faith in to start with. Reading game blew away what there was Would love the bruiser that Brony seems to be though. Have a nagging feeling that there will be 1 or 2 club exits before window end too. And not the players the fans would want to leave either Dunno, with just four days left on the window and without rumoured exits after the Coloccini saga, I can't see any big profile player leaving the club. Who are you thinking about?

Didn't he once admit to feigning injury to force a move? Or is that an urban legend? Really, once he's been under several managers here and on loan, and none has fully trusted in him, it just tells you something. Depor had a strike force that made Heskey and Carlton Cole look like Pelé and Gerd Müller and he got about a dozen starts in two seasons there on loan.

They get so worked up about it and it's something so trivial If he was a Sunderland supporter that's fine by me, however I would think he's a pretty lousy supporter if he basically lied about his allegiance the minute he got our job. Even Bruce didn't do that at their place. I can only vouch for what I know and that is that he consistently said he was a Newcastle supporter. I've never heard him say otherwise and in spite of the evidence posters on RTG talk about proving he was a red and whiter I haven't been presented with any, therefore I've got to assume he was genuine when he said he was a Newcastle supporter. He even talked about being an NUFC fan when he was our manager, no reason to "lie" about that while managing a Spanish club...

Colo, Jonas. Aye, they're really useless. f*** me. I wasn't really emphasising on the useless part, more like the high wages and brought in before relegation part. Anyway I would say in Jonas's case, yes he's useless, whats the point in having a winger who can't cross? and by that I don't mean produce a decent cross by that I mean doesn't ever cross, he waits for Santon to overlap him or cuts inside. ¿Eh? Loads of great wingers don't cross and cut inside instead. That's no reason to slag him. He isn't a great finisher either, but I think he's been useful for you as a water-carrier and has (or had) a great engine.

To be frank, going off what I have heard during his loans in Spain he doesn't deserve one. How bad was he? Surely he was nothing like Ranger. Yeah, no problems with the law or stuff like that, but lots of stories of him don't giving a shit in training, feigning injury (he's been injuried *lots* during his loans), being on the piss more often than not...

He's the last "useless and on stupidly high wages" player from your pre-relegation times, isn't he?

Wages.

I think a lot of people assume he's the same kind of player as Liverpool-Sissoko. Or even think it's him, who knows

A loan, up to Xisco to decide if he accepts. Córdoba need a good #9, I hope they haven't actually scouted him.

And bone-- Nah, too easy. I must resist.

Just get the French NT kit as your away one. It's smart as fuck. Sissoko approves.

Far shitter squads in the PL, to be frank. What's up with Bent by the way? Isn't he moving this window?

Just checked; they seem to have. He barely played during his loan and he was ineffectual when he did, so they have no reason for having bought him; immensely shady. EDIT: €13,5m and repped by Mendes. Yeah, nothing suspicious in this. Nothing at all.

Valencia are playing circles around Deportivo, but take Soldado out of this team and absolutely nofuckingbody seems able to score.

Got a few on loan haven't they? I know Pizzi is on loan from Atletico, suppose it's only a Rory Delap thrown in down the coat back to Portugal from A Coruna. Yeah, they have a few on loan from Sporting CP. Pizzi is on loan from Braga, you're probably thinking of Silvio. Most of them are repped by Jorge Mendes (Cronaldo's and Mou's agent, also Falcao), whose reach in La Liga has become ubiquitous these past few years.

I think Depor is taking a page from you. Five Portuguese in their starting XI plus two on the bench for them in their game against Valencia. Also a Brazilian.

Getting bites from people, like a few users on this board.

Mindgames

I actually read it as "hit here" and thought he was playfully assuming he'll be a target in this board.

Please don't say that before Tuesday Too late, the football gods will grant him a hattrick now.

I pay £11.99 a month for Man U TV?! No, Fulham TV.

I hope you get Ricky on the basis of his name only.

Pretty sure he scored against Real Madrid in a draw against Almería that pretty much took them out of the title race back in 2011. Dude's got a pretty decent career over here EDIT: google says I'm right. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4751858/Leonardo-Ulloa-I-made-Jose-Mourinho-suffer-I-want-to-do-the-same-with-Brighton.html
