Lads are still on the coach down there. [/useless]

Sure Alan Smith has a gypsy curse bestowed upon him. All he needs to do is get his load off on Buffy the Vampire slayer and the beast will be unleashed again.

Thought we hotel-ed it the night prior to a game?

[Optimistic Nut]

The more I think about this game, the more it looks like one of those games from our relegation season where we'll play shit and deserve nowt, but wrongly have a goal disallowed, blatant penalty turned down, keeper sent off, lose to a clear offside goal or whatever.

It was from Jonas' Twitter, on reading again I think they were just on the way to the stadium.

Translated to me as:

Good morning hope you have started well in 2011, going to the court today against wigan.

 

 

Edit- seen the English version now anyway

[Parky]

Tiote 35 yarder.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

No idea what to expect tbh

[Dave]

Rumours in the press box regarding Smith, Gosling and Harper's involvement.

Would be great to see some pitch time from Gosling.

they might all be on the bench...which would hardly be earth shattering news.

[matta]

just back from holidays, where i read in some irish newspaper that Carroll is out injured, is this a fact?

 

 

 

[lovejoy]

Gosling to be involved?

[oldtype]

Why are we so excited about Gosling again?

Not playing makes you better when the players in the team are shit syndrome.

[Foluwashola]

He scored a goal against Liverpool once that ITV wouldn't let half the country see.

[ponsaelius]

Why are we so excited about Gosling again?

 

Not Alan Smith.

[Ishmael]

Any team news in the pipes?

[Captain Underpants]

[Jill]

Ugh. This is going to be a horrendously shit game and I may have to go to a family meal afterwards. Not good.

[biggs]

Confident we will get a win today due too our away form and the Zogs out for them .

[Stu]

It's now almost 5 years since Alan Smith last scored a league goal.  Even for a DM that is a shocking statistic.

 

 

have a word

[buzza]

If Smith is playing, the small iota of faith I had that Pardew might not be so bad will be utterly destroyed!

Why do some managers like this bloke??? Sell him to wolves or a championship side (leeds?).

AAArrrrrrrggghhhh!!

[Disco]

I'll always remember when Allardyce played Smith right midfield. Marvellous stuff.
