What the fuck constitutes class in football anyhow? It's a football match not henley regatta. Shower of shite they talk like

Balls, man - random post. Hughton gave plenty of opportunities to the youngsters. Move on ffs, its irrelevant. Assume this is directed at Pilko as well? Yep. Don't see the point in speculating on hypothetical substitutions in hindsight of what's gone on. Can't fault what I saw today. Jonas off the front was great and the subs were fine.

Didn't do his usual open play abysmal routine and his free kicks prove dangerous but don't think he offers enough otherwise.

That makes you and many, many women

This is all well and good...but can this one ride a bike whilst eating an apple? That's the clincher tbh

Has bust his leg of late tbf

Brothers of destruction return

Utter botfest imminent

That'd nark me big time as a genuine city fan like

Oh aye play the race card...

What can any manager do with him even if they did suss him? He's on a contract that pays more than any other club would give him so why would he leave? All you can do is put up with him and try and get something back for the wages he is paid until his contract ends. And there is no point in saying anything other than positive things in the press about him either, what's the point in a manager saying he's sh*t and overpaid? It's happened before when better have been available and when did I ever say I expect them to come out and say their shit? Say what they like, just don't play the useless sod. Nice lad I'm sure but he should be nowhere near the starting eleven. He gets paid a kings ransom and he's shit...that's the clubs fault. Anyone who would like a winning football team wouldn't entertain the idea. One of kids would be more effective over Smith; I'm sure of it. Maybe the politics of it is that Pardew's hand is forced by contractual stuff... I don't know. You make a good point but from a pure footballing perspective it's simple to me imo.

Shit version of wolverine isn't he? Just with crap blonde streaks and the extra power obliterating of turning any midfield he plays in.

Yeah would take that over an away trip to The Hurricanes. Nah be class watching Tiote bust up that fella who played with no boots!

We're not a mythical club are we? Harchester away first game of the season anyone?

I believe so. 2+2 = 5 Who controls the past now controls the future...

Wow thats a face that'd make onions cry

Did the Nolan thread just get edited for the superinjunction stuff or am i just being a grassy knollington?

On a more serious note, this is what happens when you have a revolving door of management that are prone to making the same old mistakes - their inability to suss this useless lump a case in point

FORGOTTEN midfielder Alan Smith is set to feature in the final two matches of the Premier League season after returning to full training with Newcastle yesterday. Smith has been sidelined since shattering his ankle in a challenge with Sunderland's Kieran Richardson during January's Wear-Tyne derby at the Stadium of Light. At the time, it was feared the 30-year-old would miss the remainder of the season, but he has battled his way back to full shitness ahead of schedule. He trained yesterday, along with fellow injury victim Kazenga LuaLua, and could be involved in either this weekend's away game at Chelsea or next weekend's final home game with West Brom. Cheik Tiote will pick up a three-match ban, which can be carried over to the start of next season, if he is booked in either game, and the Ivorian's absence would open a window of opportunity for Smith. The Yorkshireman, who has one more year of his current contract remaining, will then be given the rest of the summer to build up his shitness ahead of the start of pre-season training in July. "I was at the club (yesterday) because Alan and Kazenga made a little bit of a comeback in training," said assistant manager John Carver. "Both of them joined in and Alan did everything that was asked of him, including playing in an 11 vs 11 game which was excellent. "Alan looks in absolutely fantastic condition, but then that doesn't surprise me because he's such a good professional. He's been out injured, but he's certainly not let his shitness levels drop." Prior to sustaining his injury at the turn of the year, Smith had been struggling to claim a place in Newcastle's starting line-up. Tiote, Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan are all ahead of him in the midfield pecking order, with Danny Guthrie also having appeared in more first-team matches this season. However, Carver insists the former England international is more than capable of making a telling contribution next term. "Alan is a good player, and his general approach is just as impressive," he said. "He really looks after himself. "I have come across players before who, when they're out injured, it takes them longer than it should to come back because they don't take care of themselves, but that isn't Alan. "He doesn't drink, which is a good start. He is one of these lads who is determined to come back as soon as possible and because he is like that, he'll no doubt be thinking to himself he wants to play again this season."

The worlds best number 2, Ball sticks to your feet like it's glue, You kick the rest in into touch. Wor lass wants to do you so much, Curly hair and shampoo You're just too good to be true, Love your curly hair too, My wife can't take her eyes off you...

Definitely some surrogates type s*** going on with mimifrench like. Not a fan of 3 stripes or indeed, less than that. Didn't like that ntl one we had either.

John Terry, Carlo Ancellotti, Suggs, Tim Lovejoy, Roman Abramovich, Damon Albarn, Ray Wilkins, Stamford the Lion; your boys are going to take one hell of a beating!!! 3-1 Chelsea

True and irrelevant in the context of this thread. If your talking in terms of football its completely relevant
