Hoarau on a free this summer since we need more options up front and Pardew loves his target men ? Is he any good?

Fergie was desperate for him to stay by all accounts, but his agent is Mino Raiola Ah that explains that then. Anita's agent too, isn't he?

Did his best for us in his two years here and glad this circus is ending early to find a possible replacement and to save our hearts. Good luck to him, hope he does well. Hope that detestable club won't win any major titles though.

RvN started his international career late and had a long-term injury at PSV. That probably affected his international record. Also, I believe at that time the NL national team had a Ajax bias, rightfully or not, so Kluivert was pretty much first choice. Back then their regular starting XI was a Ajax core, players like van der Sar, the de Boer bros, Seedorf, Davids, Overmars, Kluivert. Besides Huntelaar with 34 goals in 59 games, the next closest is van Persie with 31 in 71. RvP without doubt the better player and imo with a higher chance of breaking that record, but I'll so hate it if that twut becomes their leading goalscorer of all time.

Shares the exact same birth-date as van Nistelrooy. Remember playing FM and catching onto that. Pretty much an early / late bloomer + early / late career peak when you put them side by side. Record goalscorer for Holland beating the likes of Cruyff and van Basten and still is. Surprising with the number of striking greats that Holland produces that 40 goals is the record.

He still has 3 more matches in this calender year to further extend his record. Search 'Messi 86 GOALS in 2012' in YouTube (oops, I've said it)

Better than Giggs.

His horrendous miss against West Ham distinctly comes to mind.

His contract ends next summer. That along with the release clause means it's pretty much in his court. Can see his agent(s) making the best out of the situation.

Santa

And we have been looking for a proper backup leftback since god knows when.

Was obviously talking about Lescott.

He's played on the right CB side too And as left back during Everton days too.

Was Liam Jones aka Charlie Bucket doing the monkey gesture or the funky chicken?

Which lengthy injury are you speaking of?

Missed out 'Long Willy', the best of the lot.

I recall Liverpool coming on their Asian Tour to play our national team / league select in recent years. Organisers against advice from the FA chose to play YNWA over the PA and declaring 'This is Anfield!' in our national stadium. Got a right bollocking in the press. And then there was this during their trip to Malaysia last year.

Quoted for truth. Pardew won't get much compensation if he does get the boot anyway. Llambias had come out in the past and mentioned they don't believe in giving huge payouts to managers getting the sack. The length of the contract is more to gather a small windfall in case a bigger club comes in for Pardew. Doubt Pardew would have looked nervous in recent interviews if his position was secure due to the contract.

Iniesta joins Messi and Ronaldo on 3-men shortlist for Ballon d'Or.

Maybe I should be clearer about the context of YouTube/mention of clips e.g. 'Watch Williamson score with diving header on YouTube'.

Are we not allowed to mention Y**T*b*?

Yup, those useless set penises with absolutely no power or potency to them.

You just know we will try to sign a CH from the Championship in January only to fall short of valuation by 100k.
