They're mostly from Norwood/Croydon. I met about half-a-dozen of them when I was working at SP in 2011 at CPFC v. Blackpool. I was pleasantly surprised that they weren't as thick as you might imagine, and the accents were bearable.

Number 10.

Did the cunt say there was 'a flare on the pitch' or 'no flair on the pitch'?

He's not been good enough to start for some time, let alone play 90mins.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Nah, not at this club. He'll be here in the first eleven until his contract is up so we get our "value for money" Still 19/20 months to run on the contract extension for a player who was knacked three years ago? We might have even bought a new player with those wages, but Ashley probably sanctioned the extension out of spite.

I'm somewhat surprised that anyone thought otherwise, based on the Norwich game where we still defended like Sunday league footballers. Our midfield pairing is the worst in the division, regardless of which two he picks. Most vital part of any team and ours are s***. Luckily, we haven't been complacent.

1996 isn't that long ago in terms of major tournaments. Countries rarely host two tournaments in that space of time. Also England tried to bribe Jack Warner in the 2018 bidding, someone else just bribed him better Los Angeles 1984 and Atlanta 1996?

That's a good shout. Redknapp has been sounding off about us even more than usual recently.

But who would come?

Fixed.

FIFA confirm 90-day bans for Septic, Platini and Valcke. That's got to be it for Blatter now, surely? With a bit of luck he'll die in jail.

It doesn't. He used to drive a white Range Rover Sport with the letters on the front re-arranged/added to to spell: 'RANGER POWER'. He was still at NUFC at this point. Also, he's on £850/wk at Blackpool, plus appearances and goals. So he's going to have to get by on the £850/wk it would seem, and then some porridge. I give it three years tops. What a waste.

Didn't Alan Shearer turn down more money to come to us? He wouldn't have if we were bottom of the league with s*** a s*** squad/ownership/management though. Totally. We were on the verge of greatness when he joined us. After Euro96, Shearer could have signed for any club in the world, but in no way would it have been us if we were propping up the league with a cockroach owner, a bunch of fantasists and half-wits for an anorexic backroom staff and a manager who has a decade of rapidly diminishing returns under his seven-follicle quiff. Hell, even Obertan would turn his nose up at us now.

And that's why Vieira was never a serious candidate. As long as Ashley is here, with the structure he wants in place below him we'll only ever have a patsy as manager. Whether that's Kinnear/Pardew/Carver/McClaren or the next joker it makes little difference. We'll always struggle to compete in the top league until he sells up. It's not a question of competing 'in the top league' - come May we will either be down or in/around 17th place. The cockroach wants Pl survival, and all other considerations are secondary. Reckon we'll scrape survival - yet again - and nothing will change until the fat cunt fucks off.

No, he hasn't (more's the pity). http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34468663

Similar to, but not quite as good as Alex Mathie's goal v. Sheff Wed in 1993.

He really won't.

It's that PR c*nt with a bit of Bendy Wendy thrown in. Penfold can just about manage a teamsheet.

Was glad to see Perez in there, didn't have too many complaints before the match. I think watching yesterday made me think maybe the formation and team selection isn't as much of a problem as what seems like a chronic lack of morale, teamwork and drive amongst the players. They looked like total strangers who've never played with each other before in their life, no communication, no unspoken understanding of where to move or where to pass the ball - players feeding a ball through on the outside of a defender just as the player they were passing to checked his run and darted in to the middle, things like that. No-one was working for each other, there was no gestures of "unlucky mate" or hands up of "my fault, good idea". Conversely, the players didn't look comfortable enough with each other the criticise a wrong decision or bad pass, aside from some undirected looking at the sky. It's usually the kind of stuff I'd scoff at as being a bit David Brent, but it looks like these lads need to go and play paintball together and do some f***ing trust falls or something. 10/10

The manufacturer will typically submit four or five designs to the client (NUFC) and ask them to pick the ones they want. Looking at some of our recent kits, along with this season's abortions, it's not hard to conclude that someone (probably Slugley) is picking whichever design he thinks the fans will find most repellent for his own personal amusement. As well as the cheapest option, of course - that's one of the reasons we're with Puma, because their fabric and build quality are so poor.

Yeah, the Puma effort is vastly superior. I especially like what they've done with the black stripes this year, and the blue 'nappy' at the back. And the sponsor - that's the piece de resistance for me!

100% this. It's turning into a procession.

Aye, that will have been it.

It's awful. Looks like Michael Shannon.

The design of the shirt was nice just the absolutely cringeworthy wonga-esque patch you slapped on it completely ruined it. ...which is why I also sell them with no patch. (they sell slightly better than the patched version, but there's not much in it...)
