    Other clubs' transfers

    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?
  3. Which lengthy injury are you speaking of?
  4. Missed out 'Long Willy', the best of the lot.
  5. 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.

    Pardew Out?

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

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    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*?
  10. Yup, those useless set penises with absolutely no power or potency to them.
  11. You just know we will try to sign a CH from the Championship in January only to fall short of valuation by 100k.
  12. I would go for Shawcross. I think he would jump at the chance to join us. Signing a new long-term contract at Stoke.

    Pardew Out?

    Any new manager would have to work with the current coaching staff instead of getting their own in. Unless the likes of Carver, Woodman and Stone walks with Pardew, I doubt the new guy will be able to get to spend Fat Mike's money on stafffing additions. Any potential manager will have to negotiate that, minimal transfer funds and low comparative wages. Doubt we can attract any decent/better managers on such terms. To Ashley, he has hit the jackpot with Pardew, someone willing to work on his terms and had exceeded expectations last season.

    Pardew Out?

    Anyone knows the record for our most consecutive run of losses? Pardew must surely have a chance to claim that in the coming weeks?

    Pardew Out?

    Unemployed, does not need compensation. Works 'wonders' with a low budget (although horrendous with big money ) It will be him.
  16. For all the talk about getting Perch ahead of Williamson as CB, he's a worse header of the ball than Williamson. The only times it could work is if he is playing a midget like Defoe in the first game this season, where it depends more on his reading of the game. The typical Premier League striker will absolutely dominate him in the air.
  17. 4 defeats in a row. Glad I didn't wake up at 3.45am to a nightmare. What was our record run of defeats?
  18. So has he been doing well? I've never had any faith that he'll make the grade, but most reports on his time at Sunderland have been really positive. I'd absolutely love it if he develops into a solid left-back - he's relatively cheap, and completely homegrown. http://www.sportitotal.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Daniel-Levy-Tottenham.jpg Guess who wins again

    NUFC Pre-Season 2012/13

    11/12 pre-season was badly done too but we had one fantastic start to that season.
  20. Not every time, that's a gross exaggeration. We have however seen him send goal kicks straight out of touch (inexcusable) or to an opponent under no pressure more than he should, then hold up his hands to acknowledge his errors.
  21. Nobody is saying that he's shit. His overall game is good but his major weakness is without a doubt his kicking. Not so much of hoofing (tactical or not) nor distance (a fair few direct launches resulting in goals) but rather when he is 'passing' (directional). We've seen him kick the ball to touch, to an opponent or fail to find a teammate leading to opposition pressure. No idea about his long throws but it could be an alternative to releasing the ball early to the flanks for a counter-attack.
  22. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/dortmund-fans-turn-bayern-stadium-yellow-120046596.html Dortmund fans turns Allianz Arena ( Bayern Munchen Stadium ) Red to Yellow Brilliant.
  23. Aye, it's great to have positive jibes around your team, and your team can only get better. Maybe Filipinos will care less about basketball. Singapore facing Indonesia tomorrow. Squad includes a 42 year old Duric, which is testament to his professionalism and career longevity but also goes to show we are falling behind in our next generation of players. Striker Khairul Amri was the next big thing but sadly made of glass and it has pretty much ruined a promising career. Shame also that we can't send (National Service commitments/ red tape) our young talent like Hariss Harun overseas like the Malaysians had done with their youth team.
  24. Nice. The addition of players with Filipino heritage such as the Younghusbands and Etheridge seem to help the team to a new level. It wasn't long before that the Philippines were whipping boys and now they are regularly a match for regional powerhouses like Vietnam. Wouldn't be surprised to see them replicate their Semi-Finals spot last time round.
