DT

Someone call the earlobe specialist. I'm sure he's still on the SWF payroll...

Careful, SS. He's (StWill) being 'positive' again and not at all taking every opportunity to get his little point across in an oh so happy and carefree manner which is not at all bearing a grudge. Oh no. Certainly not.

I think we made a mistake and were really after Papa Boupa Diop, but Pardew had one too many.

*adopts Roopey voice and ruddy complexion* 'It's the catering that is the envy of the entire Football League, dear boy'.

Unscientific twoddle.

as would Pravda

You're doing your binary oppositions again. I happen to think (as if it is relevant) that all happy and successful people (as you call them) have had very varied and different routes to where they are now, none of which can be simplistically branded. I'm not sure why you brought in luck, by the way, but hey ho. Best stick to the footie.

Not a free will fan then?

And some people can only think in binary oppositions.

It allows for pleasant surprises. Ps it's pessimism.

Jaidi

I think this is a good signing. Best to stop leaking the goals, then concentrate on the other end. I still worry about Davis though. The last time we squeezed out the silly mistakes and went on a run was when we had Wright at the back - and his better communication/distribution/awareness. Oh well. At least we now have two CBs of note. And if we could remotivate Saga we'll be good.

Not sure how we're going to retriever situation like this. Watch out for ponty the pun policeman.

Schneiderlin is way too good for us. Hope we get good money for him.

I sincerely hope this frees up the cash to sign the return of the Jaidi. Bye, Mr Rasiak. I always thought your hair was cack.

Davis in no clean sheet shocker.

Wootton to Barca.

Yeah, Ponty, good decision to let this rantfest stay open but lock the pun thread - a highly amusing, perfectly innocent distration providing enjoyment to many. Ridiculous moderation.

Where's Razor Ruddock when you need him?

I agree. And it has been most amousseing too.

are they having a lock in?

He's probably combing Europe for some adequate replacements.

Did Shearer do it?

That's the one. My bad. Bit of a curler too as I recall.
