Kitman

From 1994? I don't see how anyone can make a fuss about this tbh.

I have to say I couldn't give a flying fuck about sparrow legs from Derry. Perhaps if he plays for us a bit more consistently I could grow fonder....but at the moment there isn't a lot to go on

Pointless, this.

I couldn't care less about England. After years of disappointment, couldn't-give-a-toss players, pointless friendlies, media hype etc, I'm over it. I just hope that Pardoo isn't caught up in the fall out iin some way, with the musical chairs that will inevitably go on. I never thought I'd care about whether Pardoo left or not......

re the court case, Redknapp plainly had a case to answer. He wnet to the trouble of setting up a secret offshore account in a tax haven, named after his dog, which he had to travel to Monaco to accomplish. That offshore account was provided to the chairman of his employer to receive substantial amounts which appeared to be connected with his employment. The cost of the prosecution is irrelevant if it sends out the right message especially in an area where traditionally there has been a high amount of dodgy payments etc. This case was not about whether tax was due on the payments, I expect it was and 'Arry has already paid up. It was about whether Redknapp set out to evade tax. He's been found not guilty of it by his peers so that's that. However the Revenue were fully entitled to prosecute him if they believe it was deliberate, or part of a pattern of behaviour, or it was necessary to set an example. He's basically got off by running the Ken Dodd defence i.e. I am as thick as pigshit, I don't know anything about finance, I leave all that to my accountant, I am a good and simple man who would never cheat the Crown. Personally I think 'Arry is pretty sharp and would know exactly what he was doing but the jury decided otherwise.

I doubt it.

It's one idiot. It could just as easily be one of our supporters, Howay.

There's nee way on this planet that Fyndoune even has a rugby team never mind a fucking rowing club! It's nee where near a river I didn't go to Fyndoune mate! Did Stevie go to Pypedoon ?

There's really no need to be that hard on yourself

I think we'll lose, probably by two goals, on the basis both Cabaye and Tiote will be missing.......just don't feel we've got the guile in attack to score many or the steel to keep the likes fo Bale and Modric quiet....plus we've been riding our luck lately defensively and this will run out. I dislike Spurs. A draw would feel like a win for me and a win would precipitate a trouser ripping orgasm. Which would be nice.

Fck ff

Pretty much spot on that. Shit, CT agrees with me!

Shittest goal celebration in the history of the Prem, FACT

Or a quandary, even

That reminded me of the classic lyric from "Don't Stand So Close to Me": It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov "That book by Nabakov"? Fucking hell Sting!

Just watched the game. Thought Obertan was adequate - some good moments, a couple of good crosses, better application tackling back etc - altogether an improvement on previous efforts. Not as shite as usual and glimpses of a canny player there - imo if he carries on improving he could become a good player. If that's as good as he gets then we could do better imo

It possibly won't surprise you the answer is no Mr Fist

"And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door. Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war." A classic nugget from Duran Duran that sticks in the memory

"So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late As we're walking on by" See above re use of names to pad out the lyrics But also from the same song "Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face" These lines probably started life as "Stand beside the fireplace, take that look off your face" until he discovered they didn't fit the song. Easily fixed, never mind it's become doggerel.....

Anything that relies on names to make a rhyme. Like this corker from my youth (Kenny Loggins/Footloose) Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes Please, Louise pull me off a my knees Jack, get back c'mon before we crack Lose your blues everybody cut footloose or WIngs' band on the run Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun, And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun. Band on the run, band on the run. And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one

Dunno what prompted the clash but to me it makes sense if Ferdinand accused him of something. Cue sarcastic response with abuse on the end ie Ferdinand "You fucking fouled me you cheating cunt" Terry "Yeah yeah like I fucking fouled you, you black cunt. Fucking nobhead". All complete speculation of course.

To be honest, watching it again and reading some of the comments on the youtube link - the first comment claims he's saying "Haha yeah I called you a black cunt, you fucking knobhead" - I started to wonder whether it wasn't him being sarcy and basically denying it. But I keep coming back to the belief that if you really thought that was what was going on, you'd be running after the lad going "Are you serious? You think that's what I said?!", not calling him a knobhead for thinking it had happened. Now if you HAD called him it, and there was no point in you chasing him to try and plead your innocence cos you both KNEW you'd done it, and you were trying to rubbish what the lad had claimed, THEN you'd do the "Haha..." sarcy bit. SO! The prosecution case is this: Either you were calling him a black cunt in the footage OR You were trying to sarcastically rubbish what Ferdinand said, knowing that second earlier you'd called him it. Either way you are a guilty man. What say ye, John Terry? I just don't think he'd go for sarcasm delivered with a menacing smile in that instance but I've no way of proving it. I think he'd be far more likely to say "Fuck off I never called you that" => indignant response

Oh aye I agree with you that Ashley would have waded in there if Terry was innocent. That doesn't mean Terry might not pressure him if he didn't hear it like that.... "Ashley, you know I never said them fings. You know I'd never say somefink like that. How long have we been mates? You know that's not me. You won't let me down, will ya?" etc

With Squidward and Jonas providing the bullets? Well Ba has been banging them in with those guys, and mostly had Leon Best as a partner, see no reason for him to stop. Though I think Ryan Taylor is ahead of Obertan in the pecking order now. Whether Pardew will go for him or Benny on the wing remains to be seen. I expect the 2 strikers to combine very well if Cisse lives up to his reputation. I hope you're right. Although the Dembas play together for Senegal, most new players take a bit of time to gel. Papiss is joining a new team, playing in a new league and living in a new country. SoI don't think we should expect too much too soon and I don't think Pardieu will start him, as Chez has predicted
