Pharcyde - She Said

doesn't get better really

We'd all like Rafa to take charge there!

Tactical GENIUS... I wouldn't mind Ramos back at the helm, i thought he did a great job

Wenger has still failed, but given the position at the start of the season he has pulled gold plated energy efficient multi-tasking rabbits out of a very piss weak threadbare hat.

Arsenal, like the other big clubs, suffers from being popular and therefore encouraging more supporters, get past the 40,000 and you start to let in those whose thoughts are best left to the inter web..
Take the Arsenal Facebook page.. i have never in my life* seen such shit posted by fuckwits that no sod all about football. a bunch of barely literate foreign types speaking in txt talk banging on about "Aint fit 2 wr D shirt" - fucking horror show!
Still this is something the spuds don't have to worry about, big club status is still a safe way away

• present thread accepted.
  

Sam is another plastic, but again sound.

Ben Arfa nearly left Newcastle.. oh how Moyes should have signed him

Still think Arteta's a bit too Spanish when he goes to ground. Theo's goal was a peach, in fact he continued to have a good season, quite happy that the know nothings take the piss while he quietly gets on with providing the assists. Thomas is on fire at the moment, thrilling to watch, will he be captain next year? RvP had an awful game, apparently he just didn't want to score, perhaps it's time to off load him.

Theo is making the right decisions and is playing with confidence, it used to only happen on the off game but he has put together 5-6 solid performances on the bounce.
Maybe it's playing along side such a form striker and captain or being sidelined in the fans hearts (and England role) by the almighty Ox, or even watching Arshavin moved out for under performing.. What ever Rice has done it's worked.
The prospect of an improving Theo, The Ox, Ryo and Gervinhio all available for Wenger as attacking wide players is enough to make me blush... Stick a big net busting German in the middle and RVP where the fuck he wants and we could be the sum total of awesome. in fact i don't know of any other side in the prem who can touch that.

Yes, an unbelievable strike. Is it me, or should Given have got to this? He was nowhere near it.

Arteta has been excellent everytime I have seen him, especially considering that he does a lot more donkey work than I imagine he used to do for the Toffees. A clever player, seems to know when to draw a foul, and also when to make a foul, IYSWIM. Not exactly the same, but he sort of reminds of Gilberto Silva, disciplined, unflashy, and never seems to give the ball away. Still seems a bit wrong to see him in red & white, as opposed to blue, though.

He knows when to step in and change the pace of the game, a great reader of the game and one of the few players who gives out the orders on the pitch. Be tough to see what Wenger will do when jack comes back. Arteta has done so well I can see jack being phased back slow

pisses pants

Gold!

Get Spoilt Adrienne!

I love Greasy's stuff. Want some.

i seem to remember we had some love deal going on a while ago... this can be arranged. xx

Ginger Pig sausage rolls are amazing, on the rack they look like the usual massive puff of pastry with bit o' sausagemeat (Villandry I'm looking at you) filling then they put it in your hand and its actually a cricket ball sized lump of meat with a bit of pastry hiding its nakedness.

*quotes for late night reading...

Ginger Pig in She Bu has all the bones in a bucket that you can help yourself for free (Dooks get in there! - adding roasted bones to stock refreshes the flavour - stick some roasted tomatoes and treat it right and you have a consume)

really good stuff man. I love it!

reminds me of the fella making a bike out of Fibreglass.. made some great arguments as to why it would perform like carbon fibre but at a fraction of the cost..

it is amazing the number of hipster whips in that area, it's a tea leafs wet dream. why people don't just roll on hack bikes in that part of town i don't know.

We had a brooks saddle taken from outside the house (West london) about 3 weeks ago. it's spreading.

"creme fraiche"

for the lady..

Ruined a Ginger pig sausage roll.. i don't even like the place but their sausage rolls are bang on the money.

was craving for the meat hit after a weekend nailing Rhubarb - i went for my ultimate Rhubarb tart - confit rhubarb, rhubarb and ginger compote, creme pat, rhubarb apple and lemon syrup and muscavado, almond and powdered egg crumble (the egg takes it up a level, no idea why it just does)

Very intensley flavoured - took a lot of the sugar out and used ginger and lemon to give the rhubarb a bit more kick, pectin to help set if (flours dampen the flavour) and changed the creme pat recipe to include another egg yolk with less sugar, oh also shortened the pastry so closer to shortbread.
Sadly the forced rhubarb is nearly out of season else i would have thrown some raw rhubarb in there

I then finally perfected my Brownie - this shit is a whole nuver level.. 4 types of chocolate from 100 nicaraguan through to 66% Caraibe. twice cooked base with set chocolate custard and a glaze that could kill a diabetic family. I threw a couple of hazelnuts in there to count towards your 5 a day..

pic over sells it but its for the website so why the fuck not.

interesting, there must be something on t'web.. it does seem to be a trend (i only know of 3 and all african) that said i know lots of old fat white boys with dicky tickers

Thoughts are with Fab. so sad
I am with Clive, hats off to the spurs fans for their behaviour. that was great to see.

Swanseas second goal!! What a great little side, a side who are on target to finish above Liverpool.

i think you'll find it was Man Utds Luke Young?

We don't have a monitor. They are still 'sleeping' in our room. Mostly in the bed cos they kick off.
We had some sort of chav sit in at the end of our road going on until 2am until I told them to shut it, which they did amazingly.
They stopped and the babies started. :$ :$ Yawn

£60 well spent man, get a long distance one so when you are on holiday you can sit in the bar while they sleep in the room - if someone created an apple app that worked as a baby monitor they would clean up!!!

the sitter by the same fella that did Pinapple express? cast looked a touch shoddy.

watched captain america.. jesus H Deckard Christ what a total fuckup of a film, not one redeemable feature, not a fucking iota. one of the few films i got 3/4 of the way through and wanted to turn it off but held on hoping it would do something. it ended in completely the wrong place flipping my lid. they did more work setting up a sequel than putting some plot and direction into the film!

did however see Rango - animated yes, classic Fuck yeah. so well written and some great characters.. Depp is perfect for the part.

speaking of perfect for the part (see what i did there.. natural) really getting into Dirk Gently - Steven Manglen is brilliant!

Oh Greasy Slag whatever did we start...:)

a classic story of a policeman who gets rebuilt as half a robot was always going to catch on.. such a great film!

watched Rum diary few weeks back, moves at the pace of the book but doesn't work well as a film. it's not a great book to be honest but about the only one that could go into a film other than F&L

Planet Mike C can be a lonely place after only 3 hours sleep and no drugs :$

HA! tough love mate. turn the monitor off between 12 and 7am...whats the worse that can happen....
