Swansea v Cardiff @ 1730 on a Saturday evening. How the fuck have the police allowed that?....or is it a nationwide change of policy after 25 years of changing kick offs "for safety reasons"?....

I actually don't think they'll go down but I think they'd still see this season as a rip roaring success if they do

Tiote is injured ya freekin dipstick

Abysmal decision to sub him last week. Abysmal corner. Abysmal owner....

What used to be called Greater London isn't a tax haven, but the City is. If some of the top earners weren't all hiding their millions in the Cayman Islands then perhaps the nurses and teachers would be paid better too. It's all about power, those in the city have and so do the tube drivers. But only the tube drivers are properly criticised for exercising it. That's the point of the article.

Hazard is world class, Santon is being played out of position....

Is Terry injured?.....ultimate backhanded disrespect from Mourinho by playing Luiz at CB

You've just proved the point that Brian Reade is trying to make in this piece tbh. Grossly overpaid for what they do?...anyone else in that little box you've made for them?... And how does a tube strike cost the country billions?...it'll cost the tax haven know as "THE CITY OF LONDON" a fair bit, I'll grant you...

I fuckin love Bob Crow me like.... Maybe Michael Gove is right about decades of trendy teaching reducing our brains to the size of a gnat’s. Because I’m unable to understand basic English. Why is hitting the rich with a 50p tax called “the politics of envy” while hitting the poor with a bedroom tax is deemed “a necessary re-adjustment of the economy?” Why are young men in baseball caps who peddle stolen cigarettes in pubs called “thieves” and prosecuted, yet young men in suits who flogged bent PPI plans are called “mis-sellers” and let off? And how come, when a CEO safeguards the security and wealth of the people they represent, do we call them titans of industry? Yet when Bob Crow does it he’s called the sperm of Satan. I long ago concluded that if Crow ran the disgraced, tax-payer owned RBS the way he runs the RMT, he’d be on a national treasure pedestal alongside that other Eastender David Beckham. Because, like Goldenballs, he is a genius at promoting his brand and protecting his clan. Although such is the right-wing demonising of trade union leaders, sorry dinosaur militants, you’d be forgiven for viewing Crow as nothing more than a fat, yobbish enemy of the people. Take the London Underground strike . Boris Johnson wants to close every ticket office despite pledging, when standing for mayor, that there would be “nil” closures. Crow understandably opposes 750 redundancies and wants to negotiate with Johnson. But Johnson won’t negotiate with him. In fact, for five years he’s refused to sit down with him. Instead he chooses to paint him as a red wrecker opposed to inevitable “modernisation”, and labels the strike immoral because only 40% of RMT members voted. Johnson was last elected mayor on a 38% turnout. As Tube drivers who next year will be on £52k salaries can testify, Crow is brilliant at what he is paid to do. Purely but legally acting in his members’ interests. Just as every FTSE boss acts in the interests of their shareholders. And contrary to right-wing media reports, many Tube-users back Bob Crow. Channel 4 News asked four women commuters about the strike earlier this week . One said good luck to them for trying to save their jobs, another said she wanted ticket offices open because she felt safer with staff on duty. Another said Crow was wrong, while the fourth, who was shown a photo of him on a Brazilian beach, slagged off the newspaper for attacking a man for going on holiday. Which hits at the heart of Crow’s crime – being a working-class man who has the audacity to earn £145,000 a year and drink pina coladas on a £7,700 foreign cruise. Even though he booked it last March through a reader’s offer in the same paper that demonises him for being a Marxist hypocrite. While the real hypocrite is Boris “nil closures” Johnson. I hope Crow carries on doing what he’s paid to do. With one slight change. Next year, instead of taking his missus on a cruise, he goes cruising on his own around Hampstead Heath. Thus making Tory heads implode with such rage that cranial surgery is required. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bob-crow-not-real-hyprocrite-3123297#ixzz2sjYdakmm Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bob-crow-not-real-hyprocrite-3123297#ixzz2sjYVcAlt Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook

Which ’90s Alt-Rock Dude Are You? You got: Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day You’re goofy and kind of a brat, but sometimes you surprise people with very clever insights about the world around you. You identify with losers and weirdos, but you’re definitely not an underachiever. :thumbup: http://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/which-90s-alt-rock-dude-are-you

McClen and Clarence Acuna going toe-to-toe with Viera and Gilberto Silva and never taking a backwards step Sir Bobby had a squad with a bit of depth though...

and the good news keeps on coming this week at NUFC....

As previously mentioned, am working on Portland at the moment...this pub had its GF windows smashed in by waves just after New Year...upstairs got done yesterday...

Aye, the coastal line at Dawlish which has taken on all comers for 150 odd years bit the dust yesterday We got sent home early yesterday from the Isle of Portland....the causeway was closed all day due to the high tide, but there was a "window" at 3pm we had to take or Wed have been stuck in the prison all night . It's been fuckin biblical down here since Christmas. I blame the gays me like. Or maybe the jet stream?...

You say it yourself, you jacked ages ago, nowt wrong with that either. If you'd still had one this season and jacked it yesterday because some self righteous prick on a message board or twitter "inspired" you (true as I'm sat here, that's how some are carrying on over NO way ) then I'd understand your indignation. You're not a martyr, you made a decision, fair play.

Am sure someone said we all would....

Great post. If youve had a ST since before 2009 then I dont understand sticking with it after the relegation season then jacking in now. Every season since then has been 1000 times better than that fuckin clamity. The only real downer was last season, but that was personally negated by 5 Euro away trips which were fuckin mint (I understand I'm incredibly lucky and this sounds smug and condecending as fuck but if you do throw yourself into it a bit then there are good times to be had following the club on the road) Ashley does some astonishing shit things off the pitch, Pardew is limited to say the least, but ffs some folk need to get some perpsective. I dont have a lot of time for Leeds as a group of fans, but if we'd had their recent history, not to mention the fuckin ludicrous goings on at the weekend, then I think half of our err "support" would be in the coronary ward of the RVI/Singapore General. Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest spring to mind too. How many would have stuck with NUFC if we'd been down in divi 3 for a few seasons? I was thinking earlier about when we got beat off the mackems in the playoffs. From that point onwards till Keegan charged into town we were on dreadful downwards spiral (16k average crowd in 1991, the same season the mackems had jammed their way into divi 1 and they had 22k, last time they averaged more than us) that was directly caused by only one defeat by those fuckers. Its a different scenario now, theres no "all or nothing" play off game, but this hurts nowhere near as much as the early 90s do for me. And I flatly refuse to let them fuckin bother me that much in the first place to the extent that one result did to a lot of us 20 odd years ago. Its out of all proportion to turn tail now just because Ashley's a cunt who'll we'll never realise our potential under.

A good manager would try to rebuild a player with undoubted ability's confidence you'd have thought...ha...

The truth is that both he and they are horiffically inconsistant. How can you explain the performances v manu, citeh (twice), even Norwich was decent...theres no rhyme or reason to them, fuck knows what NUFC will come out of any given tunnel on any given match day. After Tuesday night I thought if we apply ourselves the same way theyd have to go some to beat us. I doubt if Pardew could explain it himself.

Anyone any recent experiance of Cornwall in August?....Mrs PL's family are down there (Mevagissey) from the 9th this year and shes managed to get the same week off....my spidey sense says "it will be hideously busy with hoorays and other assorted in-bred upper/middle class fuckwits and their odious offspring"....could be wrong like

lads cancelling are getting an automated email saying that the confirmation will be forwarded soon as theyre very busy at the moment

Am sure some of the eminent business brains on here can suggest a way of attacking the SD share price...I suggest hitting his stores with stinkbombs all over Easter Weekend

Some have a strange idea about just what the price of a season ticket entitles them to. Not a lot unless you're a fuckin lucky manc or north Londoner as far as I can make out...

Is it going to make him sell though?...

Where does this "boycott=Ashley will sell up" thing come from? There would still be 3 men and a dog singing "sack the board" huddled together on the decaying Gallowgate if SJH hadn't wanted a slice of soon-to-be-premier-league pie. We need a buyer before Ashley sells and there's not one out there as we speak.
