Next time you fill up, put a tiger in your tank. It makes you dead quick.

Spot on.

I just cant be arsed. One click would take up nearly a milli-calorie, he's not worth the effort.

I think I ran out of time to vote against him. Another dagger in my soul.....

This forum has always been special.

By that logic it ought to be perfectly ok to throw bananas at black players. Nothing racist about it, they'd probably enjoy them.

Thats an interesting perspective, especially from a New Yorker. Cheers Dan, keep us posted from that side of the pond.

Whats John Barnes up to nowadays?

It looks exactly like a rehash of the story in there.

Aren't they owned by a local guy who owns bet365? He's loaded compared to me, obviously, but their money supply isn't on a par with the really big clubs. I don't suppose he could keep up that funding level indefinitely.

A mate in stoke phoned me earlier, all gleeful and saying "now lets see what Martinez can do..." He seemed a bit crestfallen when I reminded him that the everton job was open. And when I mentioned poyet, I could hear him reaching for the prozac.

There was an interesting ten-minute radio programme about this last week, I recorded it. If I can put it up on youtube I'll post the link. The guy's viewpoint chimes pretty much exactly with my own.

He didn't quite say that, he said that lack of evidence for the existence of God is not evidence of the non-existence of God, likewise our inability to explain or understand the concept.

Well, he's gone now. Wonder who they'll bring in.

We're lucky Puncheon wasn't in the vicinity.

The question posed by the OP wasn't whether their game is effective, points-wise. Its whether they are the ugliest football team in the prem.

Depends how lucky you feel.

You must know some different stokies than I do. One mate who lives in Nantwich told me he would never set foot in the Britannia again until Pulis leaves, and he's been a Stoke fan as long as I've known him (27 years.) I've heard the same thing from others, they dont call it football anymore, Stoke play "pulisball".

I like "would of". It adds to the context of a sentence. Pedantry is far more annoying than inaccuracy.

Thats been an open secret for months. The Stoke fans hate him. I used to live there and have loads of mates up that way, check some of the Stoke message boards. I'll be astonished if he's still there next season.

Lallana was linked with so many clubs that I'd forgotten the fulham one. Didn't spurs want him as well? And Pards at the toon? He's still here though.

Different situation now, though. He was offered prem football with Arsenal, which at the time he wouldn't have had with us. There wasn't any guarantee we would go back up. Shaw would now only be moving to another prem side, albeit a richer one.

Hang him.

I wonder whether a hike in ST prices will quietly be announced in the cloud of euphoria? And a doubling of parking charges?
