I wish I had Sky Sports. A shame you have to pay for it, curses! I have to make do with the BBC Match of the Day coverage, which is fine for me, as I don't really have the time to watch an entire match!Quote:

Already did back in August! ;)Quote:

Can't say you weren't warned. It's going to keep happening until you apologise.Quote:

Can't you see you, yes, you, and your hatred and refusal to accept the big man has turned him into the Swanslayer? Open your heart to Big Andy. It is the only way to make it stop.Quote:

I might be remembering wrong the last couple of seasons though: I'm not as massive a football fan as you guys are.
RIP Adrian Chiles
With Roy Keane as well it looks like ITV is really making an effort to get rid of the dead wood. It's currently the worst sports coverage on television.
I can't remember if Mark Pougatch is any good. Is he any good?
I've never even heard of him but I like his name.Quote:

trout really gripped me after the loss to Chelsea that I have already wiped from my mind.
"HAS BONY DEAL GONE SOUTH FOR SWANS?"
"SHOULD THEY HAVE SOLD HIM?"
"LOST MORE THAN JUST WILF BONY TO CITY?"
The dude is in the ACON. He wouldn't have played anyway.
Besides that, now Bafe Gomis is turning out to be a right pearler. Kicking up a stink because he wasn't starting every game in place of one of the league's top goalscorers, and now that we've made him first choice striker he's still whinging that he wants to leave (to world football heavyweights Crystal Palace, no less). Apparently he wangled himself a £8M signing-on fee, which was due to be paid alongside his regular wage (so we can cook the books and pay him huge money that would break our wage structure), so if he leaves we're going to have to give it all to him at once. Rumours abound that he was playing the scam from the start. At this point, if it's all true, he can sod off. I had a dream last week that he'd gone to Wigan.
Kyle Naughton, though, meh. We have a habit of taking average players from other teams and making them look good (Routledge, Sinclair, (SPOILER)Allen), so maybe it will work. Paid too much money though. At the moment our full backs are Angel "I'm still 23 in my mind" Rangel, Neil "Remember when I was good?" Taylor, Jazz "Conference National" Richards and Dwight "I can't believe I've convinced people I'm a footballer" Tiendalli. We need 3 more Kyle Naughtons.
This is it. This is the day Old Manus finally snapped.Quote:
