I didn't say I approved, just that he deserves it.

Well seeing as Newcastle lost, are the team looking as though they'll get relegated and it's Sunderland's stadium, I'll take an educated guess that it's the Barcodes.

Joey Barton deserves everything he gets and more.

Well you can't really blame him. Barcodes and Spurs to go down

He was shocking throughout the first 35 minutes of the second half and he didn't have much to do prior to that.

AND WHAT OF SUNDAY? They don't have Sundays in Austria. Get the fuck in whoever just scored for Everton!

And yet still a bigger club than Sunderland will ever be. >_<

Elizabeth Fritzel's new diary entries: MON : stayed in. dad came down and fucked me. TUES : stayed in. got fucked by dad. WEDS : stayed in. dad fucked me doggystyle THURS : stayed in. dad spunked on my face FRI : stayed in. dad gave my arse a right pounding SAT : went to watch spurs play. wish i'd stayed in! Edit: It makes a change that my team isn't the punchline for once.

Just got a text saying Gary Mac is one of the candidates to take over - I hope and pray not.

I like Blink, but I wouldn't be too fussed about them getting back together (the only reason I'd like it is so I could see them), they've had their time and they've moved on - in Mark and Travis' case to equal/better things, in Tom's case to a self-indulgent pile of shite.

Why?

I guess last night dispelled an old myth aye... The scum can buy referees in Europe

I ain't walking into the front room to watch Liverpool or Chelski, I'll have to watch by other means.

The only one is Metallica's Leeds Festival 2008. And pretty much any song on the album makes me wish I was still there, particularly Creeping Death, Harvester of Sorrow and Seek and Destroy.

So I was at the Leeds game last night, was there a game on ITV? If not, which one is on tonight?

This starts Monday night (27th, I think) at 10pm. I suppose it could run for a week, but I'd expect it to run for a 5 week block.

Yes but you know every band in the UK... >_<

I thought we were talking about real local bands, i.e. ones that play in pubs/clubs and don't have a proper record deal. Besides that, I was talking about bands within my local area, I just put Leeds on my location cos no-one will know where Pontefract/Castleford are...

I'd have gone on loan to the CCC until January if I were him too, but then again you'd get people saying "he's only CCC standard, OMG BECKHAMZ OUT!"

I said they were similar leagues, which they are. Obviously the Premiership is a higher quality, but Arshavin's an international star, so he shouldn't struggle in that respect. He will take some time to bed in, but not a couple of years, as was suggested. O'Hara and Zokora are probably 2 of the most overrated players in the premiership, Huddlestone is decent enough but he, Hutton and Woodgate can't be expected to keep clean sheets on their own. You've got to be kidding me. O'Hara is overrated? If anything he's underrated. We've been playing much better when he's in the team this season. And I don't think Zokora's overrated either. He's a solid utility player and gives the midfield a nice balance on the rare occasion he gets to play in his natural position. As for Huddlestone, I'm not sure whether you think he's a defender? Ramos certainly doesn't play him as much as he should. He's like Zokora in that holding role but better. Are you sure you don't mean a chance to sit on the bench at the never-quite-top-but-near-enough level? From what I've seen of both O'Hara and Zokora they seem to add nothing to Tottenham, but granted, I don't watch them week in and week out. I wasn't clear about Huddlestone, I didn't mean he's a defender, but he covers the defence in the protective midfielder role I've seen him play better than anyone else in the Spurs squad.

Aguero will get a work permit when you send him to another country for a million years or something ridiculous. But I'm guessing you don't want to wait that long. In which case, wait for him to become a regular for his country and then offer him a new contract, or just offer him a new contract on the off chance that he's given a work permit as a "special exception".

Girl Kills Boy http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=55113808 That's about it, there's some other local bands but none of them have their shit on myspace.

Heskey would be fucking awesome for Spurs... They wouldn't get him though.
