Bit more than in the pubs in Oz:lol:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

And I was just starting to like you.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

So you're in the land of koala bears? Just be careful you don't get savaged.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Thank you very much, Novo.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Good news from Africa...if Benin and Cote d'Ivoire draw their last group match, Nigeria will be out and we can get Obafemi back early-doors. So far he hasn't been crocked.

After the heady delights of the last two games in Lahndun, we have the Smoggies at St. James' on Feb 3rd. Shirley we can score a goal at the right end against them?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Dennis Wise will soon get them into shape, he is the tactical coach.:D

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No he's not. Get back to the Fosters or start a thread on Aussie Rules.

As a Salford lad I got 40:1 on the Toon getting relegated at the start of the season.:D I checked the odds yesterday and they were less than half that.:ohmy: Not that I am bovered I have my betting slip.:thumbsup: Carry one King Kev thats all I can say..LOL :rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Mr. Green, if we can't beat the smoggies at the weekend I'd say your 40-1 odds are looking a bit promising (sad to say).

On the bright side we've only lost one of the last eleven games against Boro at St. James's. (But I wouldn't take 40-1 against our making that 2 out of the last 12).

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I see Niall and Biffa over at nufc.com are in a bad mood this morning....I quote...

Enough

Enough patronising bollocks from every man and his dog masquerading as news or comment on events in this region, this city and this club - you simply haven't got a f**king clue what you're on about.

Try reporting the facts instead of what you or your London masters would like to hear.

Try getting past the KK "Messiah", "Second Coming", "impatient fans" - all cliches invented by the media, not the supporters.

Try seeing past brain dead Vox Pops or meaningless online polls as spurious evidence that the lies you pen have any basis in local opinion.

Try hiding the regional prejudice that would see you branded as racist, were it to be presented as news about other nationalities.

For a club that isn't "big" (whatever that means), it doesn't half get a lot of coverage....

To anyone still paying money for The Mirror, The Sun, The News of The World, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Express and The Mail, why not just read their continual anti-Toon tirades online instead of shelling out for the privilege of being insulted and/or patronised?

Exhibit A: The scandalous Sun and Mirror front pages this week with Keegan / £100m / Wise concoctions.

Exhibit B: The Mail's allegedly funny Dennis Wise diary stumbles to day 3 here. Somebody is getting paid for writing that.

Exhibit C: Victoria Derbyshire, Nicky Campbell, Alan Green, Eamonn Holmes, Clem, Gabrielle Marcoti, Terry Butcher, Steve Claridge: you're the shite, you're the shite of Radio 5. Bigots all.

Support the Toon...and don't believe the tripe.

Now let's just get back to the football. Please."


That should do it.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

:rofl::rofl: LAUGHING POLICEMAN SOUNDTRACK.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Good result for Captain Hook today. Rather less good for Rae.

The mackems lost too, so tomorrow morning could complete a satisfactory weekend or lead to thoughts of suicide.

Wir sehen.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Thanks Novo.

It used to be a running joke that referees let ManU keep playing until either they score or Ferguson taps his watch. Three minutes added time today, yet ManU scored in the 90th+4 minute.

Good luck against Boro.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

This is getting far too chummy. ;)

But thanks.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

bitter, bitter.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

yes, though spurs at home currently is a very uncertain tie, i know they have lost to lesser teams, but they drew against liverpool and recently thrashed arsenal away obviously, so very up and down. still no excuses, saved by tevez granted, we'll see what the cup tie brings.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I will say that you guys kept on going right til the end.

Referee wasn't great but Rooney did deserve his card. Some of the others didn't though.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

We didn't lose! We didn't lose! We scored a goal! We scored a goal!!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

:lol: shame.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I have none. I'm a Geordie.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Bloody heck. I'm surpised Mikey Owen didn't break something in shock.

Well done though.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

You have got my team soon Villa and on the box:)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I'm confused: Where are you posting from?

It's on the box in Canada at 7:30 am EST Saturday next, but I don't get setanta at home and that's a bit early for the pub (even for me).

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Faye, Beye amd Martins are on their way home after the African thingy. None of them got crocked (but none of them scored a goal either... they'll fit right back in).

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

strength to strength then. Joking apart i only wish keegan well, he was my boyhood hero, world cup memories in the early 80's and the european he captained before this. i had that shirt, very scratchy.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Fair enough. And in return for your civilized remarks, I propose a moments silence on the board on Wednesday Feb. 6th at 9:30 am EST which is exactly 50 years from the time that Busby's Babes were decimated in the Munich air crash.

I'm just old enough to remember it.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

thats jolly decent of you. the rememberence service is at old trafford at 2.00pm and there is a special show on MUTV at 9.00pm which is being taped and sent over for me. trailer looks very sad with charlton visibly upset.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

on a more upbeat note, derby on sunday, though rooney is suspended, there must be a closet blue on here, they normally come out just before a derby, then slink away after the inevitable thrashing.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Ah, well. Moment of quiet reflection over. Eff off Manure, life goes on.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

All's quiet on the northern front. Tomorrow Aston Villa (to be honest they're a club I've never had strong feelings about one way or the other, but tomorrow they are of course devils incarnate).

I was wrong about the Africans returning unscathed, Martins is out with an ankle injury (and Geremi is still out there for the final).

Que sera sera.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I like Villa they are a massive club and have IMO the best manager in the prem.
I found this which is intresting

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Keegan must go before you lot go down:blink:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. Or summat.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

But he has only got rotton eggs.;)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

At least they can spell.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Pity they can't play football :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

We won the first half. Curate's egg, innit?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Mikey Owen scored another goal. When's the next England match?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Wot??? You want to get him broken again?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Nope, just speculating on the reason for his improvement in form.
