He should have been picked as captain more but it wasn't down to race or colour of his skin, it was down to managers wanting to keep the likes of Owen high in confidence.

There has to be a complete ban on it or there will be too many margins for error. I hope others read what's happened to Gosling and learn from it.

Worst case scenario, Pardew uses his spare time to work his way round most of the players wives while they're busy on a match day.

How many people like who they work for? Id just see at as a job. Well paid and close to home, I wouldn't have to uproot or be away from family.

We haven't been a big club for a long time IMO.

I'd play for them, no question about it. Would secure my future for a very long time.

Who's ratted him out? He couldn't have been dumb enough to go into a bookies and do it, surely? You've gotta telephone that shit bro.

He hasn't shown up at an international tournament for 10 years, but his goals got us there. He's probably the first name on the team sheet for Hodgson. I'd take him and I'd start him but it should be made crystal clear to him that he's in last chance saloon for major tournaments.

2 huge games coming up, have to take maximum points from Palace at home and Norwich away.

I rate him but can't see either party being interested in a move.

Dear me.

Everyone steals chants off each other tbh.

They could have went in for a hot chocolate. Although those have about 800kcal I bet. I'd just sack them, remove the element of doubt.

youre so defeatist We could take him, I mean I'm sure he isn't up to much this summer due to every other home nation failing to qualify. He could watch from the stands. Would be lovely.

Coleman is Irish.

Can't see him leaving Barcelona right now. Would he even fancy moving leagues?

Could never work unless the two managers were best friends or very laid back.

Picked himself up well after that season and the year in the Championship really helped him in terms of getting used to England and endearing himself to the fans.

Yup.

There are currently 17 better teams than them in the Premiership. 16 if you give them the benefit of the doubt with having a game in hand over WBA.

Nah. Not proud of what he did but we've had players headbutt the opposition like he did before without being sacked. Sets a precedent if we were to get rid of him, a precedent that we couldn't keep up.

Aye, well done Alan. What was he attempting to prove?

No more.

It's such a slow build that often, we don't sign any players permanently which causes our better players to go elsewhere. It's not so much a build as it is a disassemble.
