Your mans a gypsy though. Probably had more fights last week than Joeys ever had.

He'd rip Joey a 2nd arse, tbh like. 3rd if you include his gob.

The winner of this tournament would struggle against a decent u15s boys side.

Seems the lasses are as shit as the men.

I think Cisse will play for us again, based on nothing at all. It'll go something like this. Crunch talks with our new DoF result in fuck all, and Cisse is given an ultimatum - either wear a shirt with Wonga on or be suspended indefinately without pay.

What's Carlton Cole doing these days?

I'll bet there's something in all of our players contracts about displaying logos etc. Doing interviews in fron to those sponsor wall things. It's just the club is powerless to enforce it. And that's why, as someone above said you can't compare it to real world jobs. None of our employers paid £10mil to sign us.

This is the bitch. In an average job the employer would be well within his rights to terminate the employees contract, but that's obviously never gonna happen here.

I think Cisse's possibly painted himself into a corner here. He's spoken about it months ago, the press has go hold of it, and now it's at a point where even if he wanted to just put the shirt on and go to Portugal he look a cunt as well as bad muslim if he does.

Because he quite happily wore a shirt with virging money on, while playing in the barclays premier league. They're both money lenders who chatge interest. What Cisse is effectively saying is that Sharia law is ok with interest rates of less than 50%. Which is absolute bollocks. It isn't. The definition of usury differs depending on where you are in the Muslim world. Some consider any interest at all to be usury but many believe that only excessive interest is usury. I stand corrected, i foolishly assumed that it was black and white. So you can interpret the rule how you see fit and overlook the rules you don't like. Just like every religion really, shoulda known. Either way, while i admire the mans conviction he can't dictate to the club how it's gonna go. And i can't see Ashley allowing him to. I fully expect Cisse is being offered to clubs in France and Germany right now.

If they do move it to winter '22 then the FA should decline to enter qualification for it. Lead the way, hopefully other european FA's will follow suit and even if they don't then fuck them who cares. Like has ben said many times, qatars bid was succesful because they said they could cool the stadia. With technology not yet invented. Fucking laughable man! If they can't do it give the world cup to a country that can actually host it.

The black sponsor is different to wongas logo, as you can see on the on the other two shirts. Which makes me doubtful.

The guy has his wages paid into a bank account, i'm fairly certain of that. Does he tell his bank he doesn't want interest on his savings? Does he fuck. If this is solely about Wonga then i'd sell him.

It has to be shit or bust for him next season.

Sun in, YES. Done that stuff to death in the '90s so that'll make it retro. Nice one Yo.

Haven't wanted to watch a game less in my life.

To be fair to Pards, he's hardly gonna come out and say "you know what, we were shit today because i haven't got a clue". "when i swapped Goofy for Shola on 65 minutes it was because i hadn't the foggyest idea what to do and it's easy to swap a new boy for a senior player"

Reid could sign Niall Quinn, he'd be more mobile than Shola.

Like yous all, i've had some amazing highs following this club, ive probably had more lows. But i've never felt as flat as i currently feel. There's no joy, or anger or much of anything. And i don't really want the new season to start if i'm being honest.

I think people are generally just shiteing themselves that Jonas / Obertan could fill that slot next year.

The more i think about this nugget, the more i think Ashley is a genius. We're all pissed off, everyone hates the manager, confidence is through the floor, what do you do? Bring in a pantomime villain. Pardews going nowhere so you pay someone twenty quid a week to act as a lightening rod. Inspired, Mike. Well done.

Players like Carroll, Crouch, Benteke etc etc would have a field day against us with Mbwiba Colo partnership. Taylor and Colo would work a lot better as a pair than Mbwiba and Colo. Really don't understand why Taylor gets so much stick on here. He's a really good player. Just because a player has a foreign name doesn't make him good. Mbwiba still has it all to prove in the premiership. Joe?

Not to mention Cisse as a winger and Jonas as a footballer Nowt'll ever top the visionary idea to use Shola out wide though. To be fair it was Souness who discovered Shola could play on the wing.

I've just bought a '05 Marseille shirt for playing in when i'm able to. It's the same template to our shirt that year and honestly it's better than anything i've seen in the last dozen pages here.
