Just watched the Spurs Halloween pranks; funny. But, reminded me of reading that AT was 6ft, and being surprised. Looking at him on this, again thinking 5'9" ish.

Ah...come on come on, come on... (mind virus temporarily got the better of me...)

Well I've learned today that Janis Joplin had s*** tits. Nice feet though... great work KI

Judging by their goal scorers, they fielded a resonable side. I really like the look of Watmore, btw. Hope it doesn't develop into a fetish for ex Sunlun Ninjas! ('ex' as I expect he'll be off somewhere next year, maybe even up the A184). Given the side we fielded, I am about as bothered about the result as I am by the other non-first team results: would be nice to see a win, signs of strength in depth (would be nice to have signs of strength anywhere...) but so what. Don't see this game as having any bearing what so ever on the game in seven weeks time (minor matter of six games before then also). FWIW, I expect us to stay-up and I expect Sunderland (unfortunately) to be relegated (would prefer they weren't, we have far more simialrities than differences, and it's teh only game than brings out the 1980s footy fan in me). I also expect to beat them at SJP; and comfortably. I've a couple of friends who can't wait to have the last laugh if I am wrong. However in this case it is only the last laugh which really matters, and personally I can not fucking wait: tick-tock...

"Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all. The needle returns to the start of the track, and we all carry on like before..." OOh, came over all Del Amitri there for a moment.

Fucking hell. It's worse than I thought, a modern day Artful Dodger has come to toon: " Ain't you never seen a toff?"

As if England caps matter. Geoff Thomas had nine...

Don 't know Flanagan, but picturing Adam Johnson lookalike.

Terrible decision making all round regarding Thauvin. I remember feeling so optimistic when he signed about what he may bring to the team. Unsurprising, I remember given it was like two minutes ago!

He didn't don a flat cap, and a t-shirt with ten Regal ordinary rolled up in the sleeve did he? I hate it when those Southerners try to fit in. Reminds me of fucking Rob Lee taking up whippet racing...Neanderthal-gaited buffoon.

Home game to come.

You foxy reds...always sticking together! Hey, forgot my current avatar: "Brotherhood of Ninj!"

Class! In fact, this is One Step Beyond: "Don't miss that, score this. This is the heavy-heavy Mitro sound..."

That is one strange call.

Not being able to shift greedy bastard, among many, Cisse preseason set the scene for many of the woes we've had.

shame about the managers. Our best have had a fine ahead of hair! (Gordon Lee and Steve McClaren on naughty list ... Arthur Cox, damn! I've sunk my theory before it has left Swan Hunters...)

Nope, roundabouts too. Cracking for the calves.

Tbf to the lad, he could be a top player. He has all the attributes, and maybe just needs to be a guaranteed starter in a team which relies on him... Oh fuck, we're just signing another expensive cast-off might-be. Still, he has got to be better than Billy Askew (no offence, twinkle toes).

Can't see Steve "stick" McClaren playing without a ' Colback, Saivet, Anita' second central midfielder.

WTF... can't help begrudgingly admiring RTG; always funny, sometimes even on purpose. I'd join, if they'd accept an untraceable email

Jose, come and manage Bobbys old boys... something nice about that. But if you thought Pards was a Narcissist...

Yep, thus far done shit against bottom third 0.67 ppg. Even worse aginst middle third & relatively well against top third. I'm assuming, make that hoping, that the bottom third form will change with 4 home games, and three away. With such low numbers, one win makes a big difference (0.67 becomes 0.96ppg; two wins makes it a 1.19ppg average against bottom third).

I'm a 4. We play 7 games against bottom third sides; 4 at home. 13 points from these games alone and we are perfroming like 'the average' premiership side against a bottom third side (1.79pts per game). I am not saying we are nailed-on to do this, just that we only need to do averagely well in our remaining games and we'll be fine. Unfortunately, that is every other bugger's 'averagely well', not ours!

Week 23 Another below average week scoring wise: Wk 23 ave was 14.1, season ave is 16.4 points per player per week. Only 21% of our (269) predictions returned more the 2 points; 4th worst this season. We did manage 16 correct score predictions (6%), Makems 1-1 AFCB producing six correct scores—one of which was doubled-up, well done Sho’Time. This game also had another 9 players predicting draws, other than 1-1. South Cheshire Toon, Bill Clinton, and GavMcEl, all managed to be the only one to predict the correct score of a particular game, respectively: Man Utd 0-1 Southampton (one of 4 who went for an away win), Everton 1-2 (only one who predicted an away win), and Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea (one of two away win predictions). Some top wizardly shit chaps! (it’s a technical term...). Thought I’d look at whether the predictability of particular teams had shifted over the season. Using the number of points returned from games involving that team, I compared the first 8 games (from week 2) to the middle seven, and the last seven. We’ve been pretty good throughout at predicting/scoring from games involving Arsenal or Man City (no surprises there). We’ve got much better at predicting Spurs (going from 11th highest scoring, through 9th highest scoring, to highest scoring for the last third), and also improved with West Ham, Chelsea, Norwich, and Newcastle (we’ve gone from 15th, through 18th, to 6th highest points return for last third!). We’ve got worse at predicting Man Utd, Villa, Stoke, Watford, and Leicester. In fact for Leicester, at least lately, we might as well just reverse our initial guess, we’d probably do better. There’s no clear pattern for the other nine teams. However, same could be said for Liverpool as for Leicester; we don’t seem to have a clue what they are going to do! (13th, 19th, and 19th in terms of highest scores per quarter). By the way, United (ours...) are now 4th bottom of the most points returned league climbing above Stoke, up to a dizzying average of 43.5 points per game, just behind Southampton on 43.7ppg. Arsenal still top on 68.7ppg. Lawro would have scored 8, equalling his worst score. His guests Ice Cube & Joe’s brother Kevin, were victorious with 10 The BBC Sport Predictor game’s most popular scores would have returned 14 points, and our Malcolm in the Middle/Group Guess, 16 points—winners! Lawro’s total score is now 412, two behind our leader Magpie!, and only one in front of Nev. Hope the weekend off, recharges your wizardly powers! ‘There’s a good time comin, but we may never live to see it!’

Yep he's a definite mother fucker. Oh hang on, Google reckons that was Oedipus not Narcissus.... still, guess being a self-centred leg-end in his own mind, doesn't stop him being a mother fucker too.
