A team is always likely to be sussed out the season after a good season if they don't make the required additions to personnel. Admittedly Pardew has also been sussed out but that's partly due to his lack of options and partly due to his own limitations. I don't suppose the latter comes as that much of a surprise to most though. Although it's fucking hilarious seeing CT, his biggest advocate, turning on him. He'll possibly suss out Ashley isn't the world's greatest owner next. All this comes from a view point of not really giving a fuck anymore thanks largely to the fat cunt (Ashley, not CT).

Don't you mean "fowl"?

We should call him/her/them Turducken.

The fare served up by what is probably two of the top three sides in the country yesterday didn't make a great advert for the league like.

I thought your "Piss, Cock, Pardew" text summed the mood up nicely, Tooj

Class

Incidentally, I stumbled upon this and a lot of other 'ghost villages/towns', via Stumbleupon. The list including Oradour-sur-Glane, which I've actually visited. Not a particularly pleasant experience but fascinating nonetheless.

I don't actually think CT is on the wind-up tbh. But perhaps you're right to give him that much credit.

There are definitely a lot of films that should've been only 90 mins long anyway.

All these bands, Gene. You got any space left on your rucksack / pencil case?

Aye

LBT supplanting Wolfy is Fish's consciousness

It's the APBWJ I feel for.

I would class him more as a complete fanny than a dullard. Although I appreciate you have zero interest in fannies.

You of all people should know salesmen are full of shit

Dave Angel (not the eco-warrior) has a fairly new album out which is a return to form (called Frame by Frame). Would appeal to those who remember the classic early 90s era when British techno was shit hot. And how depressing (but unsurprising) is that article HF put up?

No matter how bad it gets, at least we can say we're not mackems I suppose.

If this isn't a Celtic fan on the wind-up that's some fucking brass neck.

I agree with all that.

John Gibson. He's not great but he's a canny bit better than Ryder. Mind, have you seen the clip of him? I bet he fucking stinks.

What a fucking embarrassment that man is

I was on the quiet coach going up to Edinburgh on the train once and I was sat next to this right dick. When I got on I was putting my earphones away but upon seeing them he tapped me on the shoulder and didn't actually say anything, he just pointed to the sign saying it was the quiet coach. I pointed out I was putting them away in any case. Also, whenever anyone's phone rang he would stand up and stare at them. This was irrespective of whether they were getting up to move to the vestibule or if they were having a quiet conversation. He was actually getting himself really riled by it. He also looked at the cover of the book I was reading and sort of sneered (it was a Chuck Palahniuk book). It's funny as I read about 100 pages on it on the journey whilst I think he must have read about two pages of the Thomas Hardy book he had with him (which I've also read, I might add). He was quite a young lad as well, American I think. The stuff people get themselves annoyed about. What's the point?

Speaking of ice cream, I've just realised who you look like. The spitting image version of Douglas Hurd.

One thing I agree with Toonpack about is that Ashley is the only fucker we've ever had running the club who has put his own money in.
