I will admit that just nonchalantly mentioning it after all the birthdays etc. was an absolute disgrace, as - to be perfectly honest - I had no idea what everyone was clapping for.

Maybe not, I don't know. But it seems YOU have missed the point - people seem to be harbouring under the illusion that poor players never get more than a season in the top flight, when they clearly do.

A thread like this was locked because it fell as far as people wishing death on other people. Considering that, perhaps starting another one wasn't a very good idea?

After yesterdays performance? I didn't even notice him. Kisnorbo would be utterly fantastic, but unlikely to happen. Danns I think is going to happen. Jackson is overrated and not any better than Lambert, Barnard or Papa.

I found the game highly entertaining to be honest.

No, the majority want Pardew to stay. But there are those who think he should be sacked.

Not really. You can still choose to ignore the insults and discuss the topic.

Great result, chuffed for all involved.

Up until today I thought he'd done a great job.

I think there must have been a mistake there.

OK, if we've fallen to wishing death on other people then it's time to delete this thread, not just lock it....

Attendance looked much, much higher than the official 23k as well....

Exactly. This is exactly why we have All Saints day, to remember those who have passed. Last season it got to a point where every team in the Prem was wearing a black arm band for every single game, which completely dilutes the "respect" being paid.

There's no point in lieing, we all would.

It was clearer in the stadium where you could sort of block out the announcer.

That's usually when it happens unless it is a national silence/applause.

There's a video stream on the BBC website.

Interesting to see the difference between regions.

I'm 19 now but forgot to vote last year, so I shall be popping my ballot cherry in may.

You mean Jaidi, Fonte, Hammond and Harding aren't gritty enough and Puncheon, Waigo, Antonio and Semi aren't pacey enough for you?

I'm pretty sure it was said in the article when we signed him that we had an agreed price. I'd imagine it was set by Fiorentina. EDIT; Beaten to it by MLG I see.

In trying to be too PC these parties are, as you say, making it easy for the BNP. What someone needs to do is step back and say the things that the others are too afraid to say, but without the complete deportation policies of Griffin and co. I see one of their policies is to "offer generous grants to those immigrants in residence here who wish to leave the country". How anyone could vote for that is beyond me.

People hide behind the "i'm fed up of the lot in charge right now" excuse when they vote for the BNP, but there are other parties out there to vote for if you want to make a statement - the Green Party for one.

Absolutely. McCalliog plays the pass when Lawrie says "Stokes", so keep your eyes on the defence at that point.

Okie doke, cheers.
