I was thinking about this yesterday....when you think about it, the summer of 09 was a lot worse.Apart from Hughton being appointed,nothing happened, then we got twatted at Orient. Thats not to say that things couldnt be better, of course they could, and am not saying "look at how that turned out!!" either. Bottom line is things have been worse a very short time ago. The elephant in the room is whether Pardew survives..with him, we're mid table plodders...if he gets sacked and Kinnear is appointed, I think we're screwed then. Dont know if theyre deliberately giving Pardew enough rope to hang himself with...if we're in say the bottom 5 at the end of September, Pardew could easily turn round in a press conference and say "shite window, not my blame" and be collecting his cards the same day. I do feel a bit sorry for him in a strange way. Then I think about the last 3 home games of last season and it goes away.

I admire your optimism Steven, but am not sure which part of "we brought two signings forward from the summer" or "dont expect too many signings this summer after the January we've just had" you dont understand. There may be a player or two coming in, I just think we've had fair warning that there wont be wholesale changes.

Savage seems to admit to doing most of these things during his career. He probably doesn't care that it just confirms most peoples' opinion of him is pretty accurate. LTB gets it right iyam...

Never played in the top league as far as I can remember mate...new years day 1990 is very vivid though

Cheers Scotty, didn't know that even existed...now Ive got Mrs PL's sky go and virgin tv anywhere on my laptop

Aye, was thinking about changing to BT to take advantage, but now theres no need

ha...never heard of it

forgotten all about that....was it during the 80s or when he was here under KK?....his missus is an ex Miss Carlisle and an stuck up bitch, allegedly..

Some like it Hot The Tramp

Pedro! Divi 2 for Bolton Divi 3 for Fulham Divi 4 for Hartlepool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Beardsley

Lawrence of Arabia Battleship Potempkin

hasn't played in divi 3 by the looks of it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Nugent

Aye, another one. When he was Wellbeck's age senior international football was probably unthinkable for him. Wellbeck has something, but in the 90s he'd have been lucky to have gotten into the u21s..

Good shout..wiki says Millwall, Aldershot on loan and Colchester, no goals for the Shots though..am going to stick my neck out and say he hasn't scored in what was divi 4 in old money. I thought Supermac , but he's the same-ish, doesn't look like he played in the bottom division. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Sheringham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Macdonald

Cole and Fowler couldn't get a look in... Sheringham and Shearer were canny good but the English talent up front in the mid to late 90s was unreal compared with today. Owen burst on the scene in 97-98 and basically ended Fowlers career at club and international level.

England players who have scored in all 4 divisions and for the national side?... 1. Ricky Lambert any more?...

Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy-oy

So....Remy's injured, Campbell's off to Carlisle for a month....Shola starts v man city, nailed on

Moyes here displaying the sort of form that made him a complete shoe-in for the manu job...the premier league fixture computer is a cheat http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23710359

Theres dozens of one cap wonders though, it not like it has never happened before...Kevin Davies was picked by Cappello etc. I imagine had Andy Carroll been fit he'd have had Lambert's place in the squad. Happy now petal?

Likely to be the new Carragher from what I've heard...

She is partly Scottish though, and partly German. No wonder her family are fucked up.

Is the chocolate beer "dessert"?
