I'd love it if no-one turned up for their next press conference. The journalists really could make Ashley's life hell if they all pulled together.

Yeah, but that would have to mean we were actually serious about him.

Yeah, good stuff this crack innit.

Straight red is 3 match ban is it not?

Don't stick it out too far then coz I might slap you across the chops saying things like that.

Yeah. When he asked her if she wanted him to stop. Allegedly.

What do you think we've bought, a schizophrenic. i hope not, and neither do I.

I still LOL at the very first post in this topic! It proves some players do need a bit of time to adjust to life in the Premiership. Cheik Tiote on the other hand has hit the ground running.

Steve Harmison hasn't been mentioned yet. I'm sure Collingwood supports the Mackems though.

How many people criticised the line up when it was announced. Most of us expected the line up to be the same as it was in our previous matches. Hughton would have taken more stick if he had made changes and we'd lost. Everyone would be saying he shouldn't have changed it. It's a no win situation for Hughton. We didn't play badly, especially second half, we practically wiped the floor with them. We just couldn't find the back of the net, it happens to the best of them. Their keeper made a few decent saves. I thought we looked a worse team when Hughton did make the changes. We lost our width, everything went through the middle, so it ends up congested, and we had gaping holes at the back, hence their second goal. I'm just saying Hughton didn't do too much wrong, it was just one of those days when we looked like we were never going to score.

"If he kept his mouth shut, Andy Carroll could quite easily pass himself off as a South American or, possibly, southern European" Yeah Louise, and if you kept your mouth shut you might pass as someone who wasn't breaking teeth in for Shergar!
