  1. Just spent half an hour in the Ben Arfa thread looking for that exploding bulge gif. Failed.
  2. On The Smiths, I know many people my age who solely found them out because of 500 Days of Summer, quite depressing. Even without that though, they're still immensely popular.
  3. It was an Arcade Fire shirt when he was on SSN. I notice his horse is named after an Arctic Monkey's track as well, My Propeller. Ah yeah, that was it. Surprisingly quality music taste.
  4. For some reason I already knew Joey like The Smiths, think he had their shirt on one time.
  5. I'm not going to put too much emotion into this until he really leaves. Like most have said, Barton is replaceable and getting relatively old for a winger. I still appreciate what he's done and want him here, but this is the least of my concerns at the moment.
  6. The club denying a bid makes me pretty confident we've made a bid.
  7. That's how I feel. I still don't want him though.
  8. Can't imagine how shit it would be to have someone so awful consistently playing on your team.
  9. It wasn't the best movie in the world for either side, but I enjoyed that he came to the MLS, just seemed like he wasted his career. He's still obviously good enough.
  10. I would love him, but not getting my hopes up yet.
  11. When you say he would be a terrible signing for Newcastle United, one would think he was a bit on the shit side for what we are after. Keep grasping. No one's called him shit.
  12. I flipping well hope not. Don't think so, which means most of us would put him on that non-existent middle ground.
  13. It wouldn't be a very good signing unless we got him for less than about £7m and played him every single week. It's not going to happen anyway, fuck knows why anyone is talking about it. This. The source is terrible, and it doesn't even make sense if what we're told on scouting is true (looking for foreign talent, only buying relatively young players, etc.)
  14. Negatives easily out-weigh the positives, on top of his age and what we'll have to spend on him, there's no reason to go for him unless we're desperate.
  15. But you think Spuds will want £12m for him?.. I don't know what they want. Anything above 5mil and I would feel cheated, and I'm sure they'll ask for more than that.
  16. Almost 29, coming off the worse season of his career. Like I said, whatever we would have to pay for him would be too much. He's shown nothing lately to warrant someone to believe he can score goals if he starts regularly.
  17. A goalscorer who scores 8 goals in all competitions? In a team which is set up to focus on the strengths of Modric, van der Vaart & Bale rather than the centre-forwards. Because they are all mediocre. No matter how a team plays, you're center forward to score goals. There's no reason to pay an inflated fee for someone who had such a poor season.
  18. A goalscorer who scores 8 goals in all competitions?
  19. Defoe would be a terrible signing. All indications so far point to us going to the continent for signings, there's little value in the league.
  20. Is this a Gold Cup year where you send the full team? Yeah, every one after a WC year is the important one. Although, if we don't win this year we might send a full squad to 2013 as we don't have the Confederations Cup to worry about.
  21. Freddy Adu was called up to the US squad for the Gold Cup. I can't remember the last time he was called up, besides being with the B team in the 09 GC.
