Park Life

I'll have to break it down by genre... War films 1. Thin Red line 2. Come and See 3. Bridge over the River Kwai

That rifle on the balcony scene with Ghandi runing around below was comedy gold.

What happenned to Jonathan Legear the Belgian int?

Keane and Bentley are actually both risks, but Bentley slightly less and a good age. Get Macheda on loan would be ideal.

Personally wouldn't let Carroll go till he was 30. It's rare that local boys get a chance in the PL, never mind made good. Keep the dream alive.

if that's the case, we'll have done alreet i reckon. then we'd be looking at a front 6 of this: bentley---tiote----barton----jonas -----------ben arfa ------------carroll or this: bentley---tiote----barton--ben arfa ------------nolan ------------carroll both decent line ups. hanging on to carroll is key. That's basically ideal position imo. Here he can dictate play and take potshots at his want. And of course set up chances. What to do with Nolan?

Still haven't updated our BBC page! Scrap the license fee!

What is he Stalin?

Ashley is still a cunt (soz Cath) but deserves a huge amount of credit for his bartering this summer. £5 million really is astonishing value. Fair post. I think if this window goes well we'll all have to give Mashley some breathing space.

There are two arab lads from Lens who are also good and we've had a few good looks at them already.

"I'm not a wheeler dealer I'm a faaakin football managah!!1"

Think only me, you and Chez called this one early doors. Great player and with real heart as well.

The signing of Bafra might be a rubicon moment for the regime. What are the expectations for the rest of the window?

They've plucked 30m out of the air cause it was the Rooney price.

Apparently so. For an extra £22 million we could've signed James Milner this summer will be a shame to see hatem heading off to city for 50m in the summer

One good season in the PL and his he'd be worth 20m if Modric and the like are anything to go by.

Will be interesting if a REAL bid of say 30m did get faxed. Lot of money for a rookie albeit a promising one.

We played down North Shields for 4 year, we were the second in the top division on a Monday night when we chucked it about August. We're starting the team again very soon, we're a good side so if you're shit its nee good, but if you are half decent you're more than welcome to turn out for us every week. Pick you up at the church beside the Powder Monkey if ye like? Have a think about it, but if you're shite nee bother. Good set of lads though, you'll feel part of it straight away. You up for it then MacToon? As I said though if in your heart of hearts you think you're a pure dide when it comes to football no worries, but if you're decent come along. Would it still be a monday night? I've played most levels, sunday league etc. Play right back and aye, I'm decent. I'm nee Warren Barton but comfortable in general leagues. When are you's planning on starting up again? Probably a week on Monday, sounds good that mate, you can play at the back with me. I bet I've played against you loads of times, what pubs you played for and you ever played down the JJB? Few pubs in Devonshire leagues whilst at college years ago, Plough at Killy in the Cramlington Bro's league. Not played down the JJB before, by all accounts it's fuckin' roasting in there. Played up at Complete football at the racecourse last year until the lads dropped out as the games were at 10.30pm and shit. Hard graft playing 5 a side like, mate. Gets you fit though, and with our one touch passing you'll enjoy it. You'll be the youngest like. We have a 35 year old, 34, 33 (me) and 29. That's the thing about 5 a side. The best teams aren't the fast ball hungry young'uns. It's generally the older teams who know the pitch and play 1/2 touch. Wor lass works freelance like, so I'll have to check what she's got booked in for a week come monday so I can get clearance. I'll have to dust the owld kit out. What do you's play in? We fluctuate between toon tops, and dark red tops. I wear me British Lions top quite often. I'll let ye naa. Mancmag, technically we're all very good, but we haven't got the pace we once had so we've all had to adapt. When I was a bit younger I was so greedy, I'd get the ball of the keeper and try and beat the whole team every time, but with experience comes know how and I'm no where near as good as I once was, but I'm a far far better team player. First thing I do when someones about to play a pass to me is think about where I'm going to pass it to. My what insight.

We haven't got another home game for two and a half weeks man. The next two after tonight are two of my favourite dixtures of the season. Yids and Arsenal, we always beat yids at home and Arsenal, we'll have the big man back. Don't want to sound cocky but I'm totally relaxed about tonight, not worried by West Ham at all despite their good recent run. As I said earlier, think we'll get a win and no bother. Hopefully we'll put an end to Jabba's death rattle.

Women imo are a lot more forgiving than men.

Tomorrow.

Legend status.

Not sure about Brom winning bro...
