At first it was just Parky's lamentations, but I'm starting to get a bit unnerved by the pointed aggression at Arab owners in particular. As if they're any different than any other wealthy people. In particular?

It isn't a suarez thing though really, any player in the league would've gone down there rightly or wrongly

Worked out I could get szcz with the latter too. between wanting yaya or aguero really. will probably replace AJ soon enough just want to capitalise on his inevitable price rise

pantillimon/ozil/negredo -> szczezny/yaya/giroud or mig/AJ/aguero?

they forgot to change the charlie adam pic

nope. good in the first 15mins or so, then faded like the rest of the team, again poor off the ball (not his defending but f*** me if he had half debuchys movement!!!!), then like the rest of the team looked good against 9 men. I wouldn't start him against Arsenal. Dog s*** post, sorry man but that's utter drivel because he looked so dangerous through most of the first half ? because he was always open and creating space ? don't get me wrong, he didn't have a bad game, just he only turned it on when they were down to 9 and stretched. Created the only opportunities we had with two good balls, had a shot. Who was good in the first half? I can not believe after today people are picking holes in his performance. Ludicrous Nobody's picking holes in his performance anymore than people are rewriting history. He did go quiet most of the first half, along with the rest of them. But he was shit hot after the sending offs

Thought it was a simon and garfunkel number when I saw it typed out

was sitting in the library with the youth cup game on and the bloke who worked there saw and came over saying how he supports us and grew up in hartlepool. found it hillarious after reading about all their catchment area shite. mag in a library

kin hell I thought this whole lowering of ambition by ashley and co was a load of guff but apparently not. I dont care if they just beat barcelona last week crystal palace is a game we most definitely should be winning, comfortably at that

Did Wolfy ever come back, that lad was hilarious Aye, he's still around. I love his posts-funny as feck. I suppose a better question would've been did he ever leave.

Pardew was exactly the same as he usually is, Man U aside. Just so happens that remy missed chances. In that respect it isn't pardews fault but we really should be closing out games better, so overall this, in conjunction with many other performances, is pardews fault. He's got it in him looking at the Manchester game, which makes it all the more frustrating.

must be, looks more than 140 characters to me

howay its not like hes some kid from london deciding to support liverpool, a foreigner (you are from iran right..) is hardly going to pick wigan or someone to support just so they dont win anything on purpose

It's not a joke rooted in racism, it's a joke rooted in racial differences, which do exist, and are sensitive areas to joke about. The problem is people jump to racism whenever racial differences are mentioned, implying there's something wrong about it when there's nothing wrong with the fact black people look different to white people, to suggest otherwise is more racist. It's just stupidity with a racial context, not a racist context.

Racism is alive and kicking in many parts of the world and makes life a misery for many, but to label this as the same thing that sees people killed and beaten up elsewhere is almost as stupid as bringing up slavery and colonialism. we've moved on ffs. this isn't racism is just fuckwittery.

tbf he probably thinks that because he's cheik tiote, regardless of profession

Currently have anichebe taking up a whopping 5.2 mil on the bench. Worth taking out baines for some no mark cheap defender playing 3 at the back and swapping anichebe for aguero?

If they moved to Madrid from somewhere else in Spain I'd be inclined to agree with you, but seeing as they have no link to any of the three clubs I don't see how it makes much difference which they choose to support.

Judging how well they do elsewhere, Im sure they could do a lot better then the fat man child and his trashy sportswear company. Hovering itself all over the premiership with its stink. You're probably right about that, I would just expect people to be a bit sceptical about football clubs being bought by non-football brands for promotional purposes. But surely it's just common sense to build a successful club if you want to use it to promote your brand? It's not going to do much for your image if you are hovering between mid-table and the relegation spots every season. Probably depends how much it costs. If you run a serious business then investing in the image is a necessary cost. I'm sure M&S could buy a lot cheaper fixtures and fittings from ebay, but they want to portray a quality image so their stores are fitted out to the highest standards. I don't see why you would want to buy a football club to raise awareness of your brand unless you wanted it to be in a good light. Yeah, but what I mean is, it's all about return on investment. You might decide spending £200m on buying the club is enough, and the extra £200m to compete at the top isn't worth it. Obviously they'd very likely be 'better' than Ashley in a lot of ways, especially considering how much we now hate him. Well the extra £200m clearly isn't worth the investment to Ashley, but from the sounds of it, it is to RB

judging by some of these comments the man is more useless than previously thought, he cant even get himself sacked

Anyone think it's worth a small punt on Panama tonight? I know mexico are up against it but panama have beaten them twice already this year and 10.00 seems quite generous

Lesson learnt

I think most would agree that it's an inappropriate comment for radio, but slapping the label racist on anything that is related to race really detracts from the power that such a word deserves. If he was truly the foaming racist some want him to be he wouldn't have signed him
