Don't get yourself excited anymore about anything, it's no good for the heart. So that means no more supporting the Toon and no more pic jobs on here. Anyway, here's something to cheer you up.

Get well soon, mate!

Run it off you puff.

Who is it? Is it Coloccini and Shane Ferguson?

Free pass for Pardew if we don't win this one, blame Phil instead. I have us as favourites for this game but home banker? Seen us fall flat on our faces too many times in similar situations, lets hope complacency doesn't spread to the players.

I've still got the home kit which for some reason I couldn't bare chucking out.

The face above 15 looking at Francis is Alison Moyet from the Communards though.

Think 15 is Woodcock, in between Jasper Carrot and number 17 might be Bryan Robson. 19 could be Paul Marriner? I'd go with Sansom as 17. It's hard to tell as they're a bit elongated in that pic.

Just watched this on ESPN about Colombia and Colombian football around the time of Pablo Escobar and the murdered footballer, Andres Escobar. Absolutely unreal the pressure and strain the Colombian side were under at the World Cup in the USA. Fascinating documentary and although I've read about the drug cartels, Pablo Escobar, Los Pepe's etc I didn't realise just how much into football they were. It's nearly two hours long but well worth watching if you have the time. (Tino features in it as well). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADlkEKmCuOI

If only they had've tried that over here......... "Miiiiichaaaaeeeeeeellll!!!!!!!!!............" "Weeeellllliammsonnnnnn!!!!!!!"

No, just no to be equally honest. RIP all the same.

WTF?

FC Paolo D'Samurai 1945

Christmas Tree's Slim World 11

Sunderland AFC

2-0 Napoli. Superb free kick Isigne. Cracking atmosphere.

Dortmund keeper sent off just before half time. As per usual missed it.

1-0 to napoli v dortmund, huguin header and Klopp sent to stands for throwing a wobbler. Arsenal Will do well getting past this group.

Because we had to pay a fee for Cabaye!

If you ask me the second one might be a better bet. (please, no need for thanks).

Who gave him the release clause and why? Nolan isn't old and still scores goals and doesn't sit out games when his head is turned if you believe the club. Nolan still had two years to run on his contract, pretty sure it was the club wanting him to sign a new contract and him trying to sort himself a good long term deal when they did.

See? I told you you'd never look back if you joined uniformsdating.com, who wouldn't like the idea of a (female) nurse?

Shut it, Robert Plant.

That's better.

To be fair I read it in bed just before I went to sleep after a particularly hard and tiring 12 hour night shift, so maybe wasn't concentrating too much as my eye lids kept shutting. Also, as a keen 'Commando' reader in my youth, I feel he should've titled his blog, not 'The last Samurai', rather 'BANZAI!!!!'
