Is it because gas hasnt been used on the battlefield in nearly 100 years, and when it has been used in that time, its been purely to target innocent civillians?...

Well he couldnt play off Demba...I think he's got good movement and plays well when our midfield plays well. Some of the goals last season in the last minute were down to him making the same runs as hed made dozens of times during the game where the ball hadnt been put in the right place for him. He's had piss poor service in the Man City game, he was so isolated he ended up trying to play with his back to goal which just isnt his game at all. He seemed not to know where to make his runs on Saturday as there was a 15 stone stationary object next to him confusing the issue. So thats where you get zero shots on target from. If I was Pardew I'd bring Demba back because it would allow us to play shite and sometimes get something from a tight game. The midfield is unable atm to create the accurate service Cisse needs to thrive.

Why?..we did nowt when Saddam did Falluja in 87

Someone said last week that the Sunni v Shia conflcit is afoot all across the muslim world. And with Russia backing Assad to the hilt it makes things very, very difficult for the US et al to intervene. Sad to say, best let them get on with killing each other. Tragic for the innocents though.

CT looks ike he's auditioning for the first live action Wallace and Grommit film

Curbishley's a cockney...thats his foot in the door at least...

Why didnt they just sack the cunt in June and appoint Kinnear then if they felt that strongly? I imagine Llambias being there prevented that, he's fucked now though. If we get relegated then I imagine that will just prolong Ashleys tenure at the club. If he wants to protect his investment he needs to bring a couple of strikers in at least. Hes a silly fucker if hes learned nowt from last season. He strikes me as mean and petty in business; see what he did to JJB sports. He doesnt want to spend until Cabayes sold for a price hes happy with. It could all be too late by then though, the stupid fuckin cunt...

Think you're right, also thing that process has already started...from the weekend interview with the dof: Before the season started, we had sat down and agreed the squad was big enough, and strong enough, to finish in the top half of the table. But we are working together not plotting against each other.

Only after the club had accepted an offer for the player from LFC mind. If the offer is accepted, its does rather send a big signal to the player himself.

Has the mini version been released in the UK yet?... It apparently keeps the dr dre speakers and the fabby camera but am not sure what the downside of it is?..

People were a lot keener on staying away 20/30 years ago. Possibly a stronger sense and tradition of dissent in society in general caused that. Now we just let ourselves be sedueced by comparitively cheap tickets and turn up every other week to be fucked over yet again.

Think we got a point at OT first game of that season ourselves Good comments Tom, momentum is crucial at any club at any level

Burnley beat manu as I remember....Burnley still went down...

Aye, all fair enough. What if Arsenal put a bid in though?..it does rather change the equation where we're concerned. If a bid comes in and is accepted, what is Krul supposed to do?..sit where he is?..not many players would do that. Arsenal have been here before, the press force poor old Wenger into spending. The press decided they needed defenders when they got spanked by manu in August the season before last and he signed Mertesecker and Sandros on deadline day. I think they need an upgrade on the Polish lad if they want to close the gap, whether Wenger feels that way is a different story, but Krul is miles better than Szczesny.

I think we can identify the actual second that Moyes decided to jettison old Rene here: 'David, with all due respect, you’ve done a fantastic job in the Premier League with Everton but do you realise you’re going from a yacht to a cruise ship?’ Patronising cloggie cunt I've no doubt he has real ability, but it looks like he's got a classic case of "Dutch self-regarding syndrome" as well..

So Arsenal aren't looking for a goalie then?...

This has got "Andy Carrol 2" written all over it iyam...am waiting for the press conference before the Villa game "The bid from Arsenal came too late, we've got Vukic fit though, so its like a new signing", all the while waiting for the call confirming that Geoff Thomas is joining on loan for the rest of the season...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/crystal-palace-news-ian-holloway-2218241 Looks like another bunch of tossers want a yes man...

Tyson had let himself go by the time Buster Douglas put him on his arse in 1990.His first wife (and her mother) had their claws into him by then. Thats what he should have been doing, and probably was from 85-88.

Good point re Routledge. Hes never going to be Luis Figo but was playing the best we'd seen from him just as we sold him. Laudrup has got a lot out of him at Swansea too. Obertan couldnt even male our bench yesterday. Tells its own story that like.

That's ok, opinions/shminions, as I said he wouldn't be a manager per se, hed just be a coach. He's rated as a coach of players by people who have forgotten more about football than you or me will ever know. Thing is, you've got to look at who's available and who'd take it, and who'd want to work for Ashley. I want Johan Cruyff as coach tbh, but am just trying to be sensible about this. Hoddle is possibly mad enough to consider it, and if Eileen Drewery told him it would be a good move then am sure he'd be up for it

I've read it more than once tbh, players and journos. I've never met him, or been coached by him, but you obviously have so I'll bow to your superior knowledge

Well what were people fuckin expecting? Its the same players with the same coach, who's everso glad to be in the job but is ultimately just a mealy mouthed puppet for the cunt of an owner.

He's recognised as a brilliant coach, and that's all Pardew does, coach and pick the team. This set up may suit him. Not that he'd take it if offered anyway. Theres a lot of people say hes a loss to the game. Worth a gamble I'd say. What have we got to lose?..Hoddle or JFK is a no brainer for me. Ditto Poyet, whos a fuckin ego mainiac. Hoddles older and may have learned a but of humility.
