There's no way we're going up as champions in this current state. What a fucking disaster of a footballing side we are.

must be watching a different game.. he's looked nervy and has been beaten a few times too many I agree Guthrie hasn't been helping out a lot, but overall impression of PVA is he should stick* to the defensive side of things and get the basics right rather than trying to bomb forward Done alright IMO. Done very well to save a certain goal and has looked alright going forward. I think he'll work better with Gutierrez though. EDIT: beaten by Stevie, much more eloquently.

This is our worst central midfield in years. Guti on for Butt, Guthrie infield might help our retension a bit.

Very good

Come promotion, Lovenkrands is the one striker we have that'll be a decent back-up IMO. Do you really think so? I dont really rate him, he misses so many easy chances, just look at the palace game...yes he has a bit of pace but for me doesnt use it effectively. Ranger has potential to be a decent backup if not better. Shola Should be a backup if we got a quality striker in but i doubt he'd want to sit on the bench at this point in his career. Carroll needs to finish this season strongly to justify a 1st team place but potentially his strength, his touch, his arial ability and the quality of some of his goals suggest he COULD be a good PL striker. I don't rate him highly but I think Ranger is a long way away from the player everyone seems to think he is. I think he needs a full season playing regularly to come along and Carroll's performances down in the Championship don't suggest someone that will be a decent option at the next level, at least not at this point in his career, maybe in a season or two but he's very raw at the moment. Lovenkrands is probably the best of a bad bunch, especially when Shola isn't ever fit enough to put together a string of games. If he's first choice, I'll be concerned but considering there's no chance of signing 4 new Premier League quality strikers, I'd keep him around and loan out Ranger. If we can get a couple of strikers in with a ton of pace then, fair enough, flog him but I can't see it happening.

According to .com he should be ok. Excellent. I wonder if we'll try and hit teams on the break now that we have two pacey wingers to get the ball down the channels?

Pretty Visitors by Arctic Monkeys. That synth intro is most excellent.

Also, I use a device called books to read books.

Ben Kweller's 'Changing Horses'

Very likely that us and West Ham will be swapping leagues come summer IMO.

Very efficiently done. It's like we're almost approaching competence.

Well, that last page certainly had Moses parting the fans.

How long's he got left on his contract? Another 12 months or so? I can see Ashley sticking with it until the bitter end. I mean, it took Joe Kinnear having a fucking heart bypass operation to get him off the books so Hughton languishing in the relegation spots won't get him sacked.

Mine are going to cause me no bother according to my dentist. I can see how that's a comfort to you.

Lovelyhands has done his ankle, I think.

Surely we can do better than that at Right-Back? Pancrate doesn't strike me as a particularly very good right winger, never mind a decent right back.

The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The character work in it is my personal favourite aspect of it at the moment.

I replayed the first one in the last month and it feels very dated, despite only being 2 and a half years old. From what I've read though, this one has overhauled nearly every aspect so I'm looking forward to playing it. With my backlog though, It's going to be 6 month away probably.

Same guy Fitting that Routledge has somewhat of a bad reputation. Somebody put me out.

Well Guthrie back in the middle is good enough at the moment I think. Aye, i was going to say hopefully it would mean Guthrie in the middle then i stopped myself. Best mid range passer we have. FACT. When the second best mid range passer is Nicky Butt then it's not much of a competition tbf. EDIT: I actually like Guthrie as well so I'm not slagging him off or anything.

Well...That's out of nowhere.

Respect. That mission in the TV studio forced some new swear words from my mouth.

We line up with the black hole at the center of our galaxy at the end of 2012. The planet will be hit by some kind of radiation/electromagnetic sea at that point which wipes away our own magnetic field which protects us from our sun. I think them cowies were even better than what I had. NJS Stephen Hawking said that. The only way we can move on is if 80% of the population of the world die, and we start being more sensible. It will happen. It's some kind of solar wind that hits us every 48,000 years. All electrical and electomagnetic things will be fucked for ever. Any digital data will be wiped etc...Mob phones, planes, cars with computers, pacemakers, computer controlled machines of any kind will be fuked. If you want to save your laptop you'll have to bury it in a lead box. They've already got technology which protects electrical equipment from a hypothetical electromagnetic pulse, which the Russians would use in a nuclear war. What they'd do is detonate a nuke 100 miles above a country, basically frying every electrical circuit, but they've been able to counter that and some electrical equipment is protected, so it would be from that too. At least there'd be a boom in the electrical trade if I'm wrong. The solar radiation coming at us without our electormagnetic (van allen belt) will fry anything walking....There is no protection against that, that I know of unless everyone will be given a space suit or summat. Tiny amount of this radiation gives you fast breeding cancer. Well how come humans survived 48,000 years ago? That's classified. :nufc: It's the strong evidence for your points that I like so much

On one hand, at least he can't be sold and on the other, this could very well be the wheels starting to fall off.
