  1. I had a dream last night I met Ronaldo at some party or something, and he was an incredibly charming friendly guy not at all egotistical. Forgot this was a dream for a bit and then when I saw him being slagged off on facebook by someone nearly commented 'he's actually really nice' before realising it was all a dream
  2. Was always going to happen but still kinda depressing
  3. To be fair Richard Osman is big enough to fill at least one of the stands Also what is the point in Fulham now the Michael Jackson statue is gone?
  4. Yeah my above comment feels a bit dumb considering this was a good tactical well fought game
  5. Yeah that was pretty sweet. If you added all of euro 2016 together you'd get maybe one decent half of football?
  6. Man France really do know how to fail spectacularly
  7. haha Genuinely the match highlight, can the messi moth be awarded the tourney?
  8. A fittingly dreadful final for a terrible tournament (so far). You know you're in trouble when Hal Robson-Kanuuuuu's Cruyff turn is the clear highlight (not knocking the turn twas great)
  9. Isn't Conte set to raid Juve for spare parts? Heard he wants Lichensteiner whom is in his 30s anyway
  10. Both sides of the was Santon good or bad are right because he was incredibly inconsistent, he could be fine then have absolute stinkers. I know he never really contributed all that much but i still kinda liked him and I do blame the total non-coaching he received from Pardew and the absymal standards of our facilities for some of the failures of our younger players to improve over time. I always feel he had potential, had oodles of technical ability but wasn't ever suited to any position, the mad idea of him being a midfielder at the end of his time here was down to the fact he was one of the best passers we had but also down to the fact that he never really fit at left back. Sentimentally I'd kinda want to see him back still, but yes totally inconsistent and no reason we can't do better, he just seemed a decent guy who was screwed over by us. I also think he was missed more than people realise, after he had gone we had so few players who could pass 2 yards in the final third our attacking got worse even if he was never clearly a supplier of goals personally. Pardew reckoned (and still does) that the ability to pass teh ball is overrated and you just need cloggers all over the pitch, Santon was doomed under him (and ok he could never really defend) but our play was worse without him.
  11. Yorks good, go on monthly pubcrawl with an old uni mate there cos it's half way between us. Only wish it had a few more pubs with decent jukeboxes
  12. He always had something about him that I liked despite plenty of pretty poor displays. Think he did genuinely like the area, but to go to sunderland, ffs.
  13. Oh dortmund, I thought your scouts were supposed to be good
  14. Who wants to bet on where it'll be? http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/5404630eef7d376ec92188c28cfc031e2a4026a4/c=225-0-3775-2669&r=x408&c=540x405/local/-/media/2016/05/10/USATODAY/USATODAY/635984715851776795-AFP-551724097.jpg
  15. Wish he'd left without all the shit and his decline as a player was obvious. I'll remember his absolutely outstanding seasons for us.
  16. Not that bothered he's gone. But to suggest he's gone to Crystal Palace so Pardew can 'develop him' as a winger is f***ing laughable. Pardew developing a player is like how the west has developed the middle east over the last 100 years
  17. Not going to start slagging off his ability, did very well for us. Just think wanting to switch Benitez for Pardew speaks volumes for someone not quite thinking straight. Not like he's waited all window to see if any other premier league clubs were interested.
  18. Leicester won the league, moneyed clubs coming down spending their way back up has always been the case, and I agree that the money imbalance is hugely damaging overall but still plenty of room for clubs spending well and with good management getting up ahead of the big spenders
