  1. This is cracking. Really good comedy duo:
  2. Apparently he is eligible to play for 10 different teams, with England trying to make it 11 after last night as well.
  3. Great first half. Another making the most of it in the second. I feel a bit sorry for Cisse. He is so different compared to a year and a bit ago. Looks almost as if he has resigned himself to his form as well. His body language does not tell of a player who is really enjoying his football. He did well with his movement today I thought though, especially in the first half, just needs a break.
  4. aye just confirmed he has a knock.
  5. Jack Sparrow coming on. EDIT: FOR REMY?! WTF?
  6. Heard that in the same voice as this at 0:48: NEWCASTLE! DON'T FUCK IT UP!
  7. Should have scored by now. Had some good chances. Tiote looking canny.
  8. This is quite incredible: http://gizmodo.com/any-animal-that-touches-this-lethal-lake-turns-to-stone-1436606506
  9. Was sat outside the tyne bar the other night and noticed this douche-y looking bloke on the next table wearing these: Then checked it was our very own Obertan. Shuddered. Finished my pint. Left. He's shit also, btw.
  10. Some cracking stuff there. Didn't think he was too bad tonight when he came on to be fair. Looked a bit boring mind.
  11. Silver Lining's Playbook. Was pleasantly surprised. Lost its way a bit in the third quarter I thought but came back round in the end. Worth a watch. Robert De Niro can still act as well.
  12. Just watched it. Good on Campbell, the Mail really is disgusting like, didn't realise they had a photo on their website of the gravestone of Ralph Miliband, with the caption 'Grave Socialist'.
  13. But you're measuring everyone else against yourself, and your success at gaining employment. Not everyone has that opportunity, even graduates. Not everyone has the same highly sought after degree as IT, which will always be a practical degree to have. You never got to the point a year later where you were getting rejection letters for cleaning jobs at city centre premier inns after gaining a first class honours degree did you? To say 'Don't feel sorry for graduates' is absurd. Like sympathy is a bad thing Sometimes I think for a lot of British people, their perceived happiness is dependent on the misfortunes of others. Their success is defined and quantifiable only in the contrast to others' misfortunes. Whatever man, I don't think you are being rude, just a bit ignorant of other people's situations. That you do not have any unemployed friends after graduating last year is quite incredible like.
  14. Braga pre-season man! 10th August, I was there, I lived that moment.
  15. Jesus, that's absolutely terrible.
  16. Same to be honest. Only Debuchy and Anita could say that they put a bit of effort in yesterday. Sissoko's worst game, and Santon... where do I begin. It looks like he's lost a yard of pace, terrible positioning, was tackled way too easily, gave the ball away time after time. Just an awful performance. Tactically, I thought Pardew shit himself last night. There were abut 5 formations employed throughout the game and not one of them was really effective. They just bossed us completely. I admit that I was one who was calling for Pardew to drop Cisse, and thought it was bold to bench Cabaye (whether or not he wasn't 100% may have influenced this tbf). But he should have made changes after the second goal went in I thought. There was just nothing on at all. I remember one time in the second half, Remy had done really well to get to the byline on the left, decently crossed it into the box... the only person in camera shot was Cabaye outside the 18 yard box. Just summed it up for me. Some good players are at our club right now. Whether it is their fault, the managers or a combination of both I am not sure, but I'll tell you what, they need to buck the fuck up if they expect to stay in the league. Second half aside (Where I believe that our coming back into the game depended on Everton complacently backing off a bit rather than our ingenuity and craft), the first half was worse than relegation quality.
  17. I'd take a draw like, for sure. head says 3-1 to them.
  18. Sorry but that's complete and utter bollocks. I'll take it you aren't a 'young person' today then, right? Is it the fault of this generation to have been told by the previous one that going to university will better employment chances and benefit a career in the long run? Is it the fault of this generation that a decent degree that you've worked your arse off for for 3/4 years in the bubble of academia, unpaid volunteer work and applying for jobs the dole office suggest to you, still will not get you work? Because that is what is happening to a shit load of young people. I finished my undergraduate degree 3 years ago. Did very well, achieve first class honours. Then sat on the dole for a year because I couldn't get paid work, whilst doing unpaid volunteering for 3 separate organisations in the hope that sometime soon the employment market would get a bit healthier. Some of my friends are still in and out of that position, 3 years on working 0 hour contracts in call centres for temporary employment, until the employer gets rid of them when their temp contract runs out, at which point they will hire for the same position a similar person with the same 0 hr contract. They aren't smug twats who expect anything at all, nor are they picky or fussy about what work they want. They just need to work. Rather, decent honest people who have worked fucking hard in one particular discipline, then had the realisation just a degree, even first class degrees, cannot guarantee you a job anymore because of a lack of jobs. That everything you had been told before your degree about employability after university was utter shite. It just irks me that some people have this perception of people finishing uni with an air of expectancy when entering the job market, as it if is their fault that they have been told that a degree is a valuable asset on your CV. And while I'm venting my spleen, as Ewerk stated, the job centre is a total joke when it comes to helping you find employment. Far more interested in finding a way to chuck you off the dole, than actually get you off the dole via means of work. Awful lot. I once asked one of the job centre members of staff how he got his job, as he was being really shirty with me because I had failed to find employment after 6 months of practically begging anyone to take me on. He replied 'well, I had been coming here as an unemployed person (actual words! as if they aren't to be touched lest you want their disease) for 3 years, then one day someone just offered me a job here.' Depressing... @@Ant, that's shit about your brother like. I was in a very similar position, and it is really tough. Breadline living (because that's what the dole is) is nothing pretty. And I don't think that History/Politics degree and Criminology is to be sniffed at (not saying you were). When the office space has become the new factory floor, degrees like that show at the very least a capacity to be effectiveness with wording and documentation.
  19. Torres' clawing at Vertonghen was laughable today. As was Mourinho's post match interview when he called the latter a disgrace. Love this sort of crack at Chelski.
