Good God man... you're insatiable!

Still sounds pretty good. I'm off at 4 at least, plus our CEO is away tomorrow so I might do fuck all. Expect to see me on here a bit.

Nice subject change. But yes, I'm really excited too - slightly concerned that the whole business is going to stop working tomorrow though, in order to watch it. Which wouldn't bother me at all except that it's my responsibility to make them work Also now jealous that you can watch the eclipse and then go have a curry...

Everton vs Kiev is shaping up to be one hell of a game...

Not a post I was expecting to see at the top of the page...

He's not done enough to go for that much though... At the end of the day what are we likely to get for him now? £6mil? £7m? If we were actually fucking playing him he might be worth twice that.

That is a fucking awesome riposte

Can you explain this bit more? I'm interested as to how this will be achieved and what will follow (genuinely)?

You reckon? At least they had the spirit to get to 2-0. If they hadn't ballsed up the first leg they'd have been through comfortably. Imagine if we were in that position, needing a 3-0 win. We'd have lost 4-0.

Still a good effort though... credit where it's due.

Ah good point - and I guess things have fallen apart for West Ham since earlier this year...

Just checked rtg and they seem to be wanting Allardyce. I didn't realise things were that bad... although I don't think he'd leave West Ham for them.

I feel like there should be a 'Catts fer me like' knocking around here. I could just about see it happening too...

He's going to get a freak win from somewhere man. We'll have collapsed lung back at some point anyway, and who knows, he might turn out to be some kind of spark for the team.

He'll probably try to sell I suppose but honestly, we're not going to get relegated so we may as well resign ourselves to another season of PL garbage.

Who are they actually going to get in though? Even Tim Sherwood is employed now, there's hardly anyone left! Did Wigan get Mackay in the end? Even the racists are taken ffs. They're not going to get someone continental with the players they have.

Same for me. Checked the score yesterday but felt absolutely nothing. I'm sure we're not the only club this is happening to though - while Ashley is definitely the main catalyst here, the truth is that the league is now sown up by the superclubs anyway. It's not like it'd make any difference if Ashley actually was attempting to push us up the league. We'd probably win more games, we'd probably have a better brand of football...but what's the point if we're never actually going to get anywhere near winning anything. Sometimes I think it'd be better to support a team in the lower leagues as at least fans of those clubs are able to enjoy the highs.

You called it.

You should be so lucky...although it's not beyond me.

It provided entertainment for a while at least. On another note: I was looking over at NO a few days back, and came across some pretty good threads in their gold section. One of them seemed to be that they had some html code that displayed each poster's facebook profile pic if they were logged into facebook while browsing the site. Kind of like how you can display people's IPs at them in signatures from time to time, but that they're only visible to that specific poster (but the poster wouldn't know this and assumes that everyone can see it). Some people then used these as their avatars, etc So each poster kicks off thinking that their privacy has been breached in some way and it honest to god looked like it was going to tear the community apart for a bit - death threats and legal action being thrown around everywhere. Quite possibly one of the best online pranks I've ever come across. I think they accompanied the introductory thread for this with a link to the pic with the text 'how gay is this picture?' and they had some people posting comments about how 'they were just posing like that cos their girlfriend told them to' etc, obviously not aware that no one else could see the picture. Not sure how well I explained that, but I'm guessing that a few of you will have been familiar with the thread. I understand that this is no longer possible though as facebook 'patched' the issue.

Bloody hell. Was more combative in his DesmondTutu iteration though, seemed to tone it down a bit this time.

I'm curious as to his other usernames though? Was he DesmondTutu?

Fucking hell do I love forum politics CSD out, popular uprising against Ant, Ant kills it dead with his utter indifference, CT wades in to get a cheap dig away before disappearing off into the sunset, it's all here! I've been here for 2 years (didn't post in the first year otherwise it'd be 3) and there has always, always been someone like CSD who has wound people up. There'll be another one along soon enough.

Gutting news, really, really sorry to hear this. RIP.
