anyone got a link to a decent small river?

Simply the best!

i think trading places is probably my most watched film ever. love it. not sure it'd make my top 10 though

what's with the highland fling? what's it like being you? a bit hectic?

mike leigh's naked is also a personal fave. fuck it. a top 3 or a top 10 is just impossible.

if we're talking honk kong cinema my faves would have to be the killer and hard boiled

i really really hope we don't sell carroll. not least because we'll never hear the end of it from you if we do you may be right, partly because anybody who continues to defend the fat cunt any longer deserves all they get. I'll still renew my ticket though, will you ? i gave mine up 13 years ago when i moved down south. i won't let the fat twat stop me going to my half dozen or so games a season though, no. i doubt he will, but i really hope ashley proves us all wrong for once. it would be nice to see a little ambition finally. let's hang on to our best players and buy a couple in this window that improve the starting 11. if he does that, it's a start. ashley's a gambler by nature; it's how he made his fortune and he'll be hoping he can fluke his way to success with us while investing the minimum amount but i'm hoping he learned a lesson from relegation that we won't surive in the premiership if he sells our best players. he has to speculate to accumulate and avoid bigger losses further down the line. or maybe he really is that stupid.

phil, are you defending perch? he really isn't very good you know.

they don't come around too often. you have to enjoy them when they do. i'm chuffed we've got this lad in

bloody impossible to pick three. picking a top ten is difficult enough. here are three of my favourites and others in the mix fighting for top spot below) 12 angry men strangers on a train star wars (godfather parts I and II annie hall friday rear window the apartment chinatown full metal jacket rope)

proverbial 6 pointer. must win game to keep us clear from the strugglers and at the same time suck west ham back into the relegation battle. just the kind of game we've been losing this season though. who knows how we will perform?

tbf, the current system is all about carroll so signing those three players would alter the style of play massively. i'd rather we kept carroll obviously, but those three players plus cash, or a straight cash bid of 30m, both pretty decent offers for a player that's only had half a good season in the top flight is pretty good. the real sickener would be the message selling a local home grown player that's come through the ranks would send out.

Try being a bit quieter.

if that's the case, we'll have done alreet i reckon. then we'd be looking at a front 6 of this: bentley---tiote----barton----jonas -----------ben arfa ------------carroll or this: bentley---tiote----barton--ben arfa ------------nolan ------------carroll both decent line ups. hanging on to carroll is key.

anyone any idea when he's due to be back from his injury in the first team again?

there's loads of players that could come in for collingwood tbf. morgan is probably best placed but don't rule out bopara either. he's a natural number 6 so bell could move up to 5. he was always out of his depth going in at 3 in the last ashes series plus he offers some decent military medium pace bowling so is pretty much a like for like replacement for collingwood.

i'd like to think that the ben arfa is a sign of things to come and we reinforce the squad rather then letting any first team players go. previous windows suggest this probably won't be the case but there's no time like the present for ashley to prove us wrong and show us he has some level of ambition. i've got fingers and toes crossed.

shut up man, we've bossed every test match other than perth and the first innings in brisbane. don't you agree now that our bowling attack has been better and that's what has won us the series? that said, i've been surprised at how many loose shots your top order has played through out. too many players that know better giving their wicket away where for us it's mainly just been colly and pietersen. agree bell should have walked but don't forget the current aussie skipper did the same a couple of test matches ago. is he a cunt too? not everyone is adam gilchrist, and that's a shame, but lots of top pros would have done the same. Settle down, man. IIRC, that's twice you've brought that up now. OK yes, England's bowling attack is better, don't need to be a supa-analyst to work that one out, but didn't you say Australia's batting was better with which I disagreed with? Go on, look back now. nah, i never said your batters were better. just that they were more suited to playing in aussie conditions. our batters' failings to playing extra bounce were exposed in perth but other than that we've batted better and that is mainly down to the rubbish the aussies have bowled at us. it's the bowlers that have won us the series. that's the worst australian bowling attack i've seen in my life time. no genuine front line spinner. middle of the road pace attack and the one genuine wicket taker in the side - mitchell johnson - is more inconsistent with his lines and lengths than steve harmison on a bad day.

brilliant signing that. fair play to ashley for once for putting his finger in his pocket and signing some quality. i hope this is the sign of things to come this window and we tie a few more of this class up instead of losing carroll.

it's a bloody horrible town like. feel sorry for the buggers that have to live there

obviously none of us want to see carroll go but if they give us keane, bentley and kranjcar plus a bit of cash maybe then you have to admit it's tempting. i'd rather that than a straight cash offer, which probably wouldn't all be reinvested.
