To be fair, Kinnear probably said he was a replacement over and over again while mispronouncing the kid's name and fondling himself.

... I dunno, I just can't believe we'd lose. Although I felt that way the last few times.

Two of those were against Carlisle and Kidderminster... And they lost at home to Villa a few weeks ago. They drew a lot of other games, and beat Fulham who are shite. Granted they saw off Man Utd, but it's a very poor and listless Man Utd. They beat Everton, I'll give them that. EDIT - and they just barely beat Kidderminster.

I have a good feeling about this - they're definitely thinking we're on the ropes and I think Norwich proved we aren't. I know Remy won't be playing but even so, we can take them.

The Gomis deal collapsed because of his agent, I thought... wanted a bigger wage or something.

I had to make it about academic publishing, that's the industry I work in! And inter cultural stuff is always interesting...!

So like, if we buy him, does that mean that the club actually might know what it's doing..? Sounds like a good fit tbh, and if Ashley is considering that spending £15m now for a £25-30m fee in future might be worth it, then fair enough IMO.

He could have his head turned though...

Another Dutch guy might keep Krul on board? EDIT - that sounds silly when I read it back

That is very interesting... I mean, I do like them, I'm grateful that they put me through the course - but enough to justify two years of my life? No. Thanks, I'll look into that.

So this is over the line? Really?? That's strangely positive.

On the word count - no, believe it or not I have enough useless information on that topic to write 15k words... I did it while working a full time job so my circumstance has changed absolutely zero, except that now I have a huge debt to my company if I leave in the next two years - during which time they will pay me fuck all because they know I won't stump up the money. But hey, it's what I signed up for. And probably also the reason I will remain a houseless bum

...that's...graphic.

This. This, this this. We are going to beat Sunderland, I mean ffs, we destroyed Wham in the first half, managed 50-60 minutes of utter domination against Norwich. Both of those teams are better than fucking Sunderland. We will win.

Very encouraging team performance after the loss of a key player. Norwich are utterly awful. We'll still beat Sunderland, I think a lot of you are overestimating how good they actually are.

What in fuck happened? EDIT - Ah I see...

This has been a 0-0 thrashing so far.

How are we not winning this...

Dortmund's spend isn't that much more than ours. We're not £150m away from challenging for places, more like £50m.

We can definitely put Norwich away playing like this.

This was his actual quote: "We are a club that unfortunately at the minute, is not in a Champions League position, so therefore players can turn around to us and say they want Champions League, as Luis Suarez did with Liverpool," said Pardew. "That's the position we really need to get ourselves into this year, or definitely next year or the year beyond."

Is he going to be able to handle playing in that team I wonder. Ah well though, better PSG than Man Utd. He actually could have been immense for Man U.

Pardew has just said that we're planning to be challenging for Champs League in the next three years

... love your optimism man. Hope you're right!
