OTF

I took exception to his use of the word majority, that simply is not true. Of course less fouls would be committed (and less yellows received) if playing with superior players alongside him, I've never disputed that. Further I've never disputed his quality or importance to the team. He's picked up cards here regardless of who he has played with that are down to lack of self control and/or tempestousness. The quality of player that he is means that you can live with the needless fouls, but it doesn't mean you have like it or accept that it can't be coached out of him.

Why?

No, I'm saying that what you said is wrong, specifically that the majority of Tiote's cards are because of the lack of quality around him.

That's not right Fish. Excellent player but way too many pointless yellows. I'm in no way suggesting we should try to get rid of him by the way.

Perch and Shola have both given away some equally stupid fouls, but I can see why Tiote's could be more annoying as he has the makings of a much more effective player than the other two.

So they can lose up to GBP104,999,999 without any sanctions. Pfft.

He'll set em up, you knock em down.

Ah, sorry mate had you confused with someone else. I was in the Budapest airport when Germany were pulling England's pants down. Plenty of German's watching on a TV in a typical airport food place having a right royal good time.

Heard they chucked him. Turned out to be a pointless signing.

I think Rayvin is in India.

Moves air.

What an atrocious match that was. Fell asleep watching it in South Africa - so it was on at a regular time (I think 8PM).

Wouldn't they only be considered racist if they were derogatory or implied some form or inferiority?

Newcastle's new tactic is to re-use the old tactic that didn't work the first time but it might this time. Odd article, especially when it goes so far back as Krul.

A capsule you can take out of the car and pop straight in the pram or just use when visiting etc to rock bubs to sleep is very very handy. The portable bassinet is handy as well if you go out a lot.

The whole battle terminology is a little excessive, the key for me will be maintaining the positive momentum. That doesn't necessarily have to be through winning every match, but should be going out there to win each of them.

I suspect a big problem they will face going forward is the huge discrepancies in wages. That can't go down too well in the dressing room when the massive wages of the new boys are splashed about in the media.

It's a completely different role, one that he suits. His marking is poor and as a fullback so is his positioning - pushed too far up the pitch continually and went missing often. In his midfield role he doesn't roam as far forward and is actually decent at breaking up play. One of the ways he has impressed me most is the way in which he plays the smart percentage pass rather than trying to force it. He did get caught out once against Chelsea, though thankfully we weren't made to pay.

Wouldn't say we're IN a relegation battle. One game at a time, concentrate on our performances.

Me hopes you jokes.

QPR and Harry looking even sillier in the whole Odemwingie affair - I'm sure they'd love to have him right about now.

I'd say there's a few in France that would overrate Obertan based on his time in France and the youthful potential that saw Manchester United buy him. Fast and French, that's where the comparison ends.

No you can't.

Ashley should send a thank you card to Fernandes.
