  1. I am just praying Slimani bumps him out of the team but wouldn't be surprised to see Slimani on the bench and Joselu continuing to hold the fort
  2. Let's not forget when he shouted in Pellegrini's face calling him an "old c**t" the guy is shameless
  3. He has gone past Luuk De Jong now for sure! Wasn’t even a mishit!
  4. Seen a few gooduns in my time around the toon - once bumped into a few of the lads in Tiger Tiger VIP bit - Obafemi Martins, Damien Duff and Guiseppe Rossi - I said to Duff (he'd just signed for us and was a bit of a coup) "I never thought I'd see you up here" and he looked stony-faced and said "No me neither". I once walked behind Albert Luque talking to someone (possibly his mam) on the phone in Spanish near the Civic Centre. Met Olivier Bernard once outside Grainger Market and again a few years later when he was working as a translator for the club's French contingent. Nile Ranger used to hang out with his pals on Northumberland Street a lot always in the same place hassling women and saying "brrrap brrap" a lot - also used to see him in Aspers a fair few times just trying to look cool. Not a toon player but best one was when I spotted Andrea Pirlo in Rome airport once and got my picture taken with him and tried to convince him to sign for the toon but he didn't speak English and just said "yes, yes" to all my ramblings. And also had my picture taken with Chris Hughton in Jesmond Tesco when I shamelessly accosted him as he was getting his milk
  5. Loved how pathetic his post-match interview after we beat them was. He said you can't blame him for leaving players out against Chelsea cos everyone's done it, Rafa made six changes himself for tonight's game and left out his two main strikers :lol: :lol:
  6. God I hope we play a strong team in this one and take it seriously, could really give the club a boost having a decent cup run and it's a favourable tie to be at home against lower league opposition. Make no mistake Luton are a dangerous bananaskin but I think rather than slip on it we'll pick it up and gobble it up.
  7. Brazil was probably absolutely paggered at 1pm in a Canary Wharf bar when he had that conversation. my thoughts exactly. Very ambitious project! The Chinese would've had it up in about three weeks though!
  8. Great thread - love stadiums so much, went to the Pierre Mauroy last year in Lille for the Euros and it was class, beautiful stadium! The roof was closed for the match and the atmosphere was haunting!
  9. "It's a funny stadium here in Swansea, the noise can sometimes reverberate at an awkward frequency and when that goes against you it's hard to come back from. I thought as well that if the ref had spotted a push on Chadli in the 79th then that changes the whole build up to Bony's goal when really we was best placed to win the game"
  10. For his goal, he had to make sure his effort didn't hit the two Leicester players on the line plus the one NUFC player standing in front of him. It wasn't a straight forward finish. Yeah it was a decent finish but if he'd have missed that it would've been the end! He won't get too many easier chances and you would expect every striker to bury those, he had plenty of time to see it coming and finished it nicely. But then for the rest of the match he was more Wayne Sleep than Wayne Rooney
  11. I actually thought he was still poor - he was more mobile but he was still very much lacking the aggro factor. I thought after he had that goal on a plate for him it would give him the confidence boost to turn on beast mode and play his massive socks off but instead he was just over-eagerly chasing lost causes and jumping beyond the man with the ball. Joselu if you're reading this mate I need you to be more Alan Shearer and less Alan Carr
  12. Have you seen her daughter *Immediately googles* Hmmmm not really my type was hoping for more of a saucy Claire Sweeney type :lol:
  13. Martin Tyler's arrogance when he says "and it's liiiive!" as if it's the greatest catchphrase on earth, and everything about West Ham - "the West Ham Way", the stupid bubbles, the cringey song, the only plus side is that Karren Brady is a milf
  14. Personally I love the late kick offs - will provide the sort of cauldron atmosphere that Leicester thrive in Haha I reckon this game has got draw written all over it
