Coloccini has asked to leave Newcastle.

He looks to be heading back to Argentina. Big loss for Newcastle

I saw that, thank God I sold him to one of my Cherries league rivals

Huge loss for them, he's been a colossus the last two years. I think their team really is starting to unravel, maybe Ben Arfa can wangle a move to Roma or somewhere.

Claims personal reasons, which might explain his drop off in form recently.

Bugger, I signed him from you. Oh well, he's still a better bet than Distin...

Pardew is a bit of a flash in the pan type manager. It was the same at West Ham - great season, followed by one where we were nearly relegated. He did badly at Charlton too, and so I'm not massively surprised it's more of a struggle this year. Realistically, they could go down again.

Woot, sold him to CF on the Elite League for 15m two days ago

Hero, Soddy, sent my tactics to ya ok.

Got them

I'm out with work after 5pm because someone is leaving. I've no idea what to expect in terms of heavy drinking, but if it turns out to be then I will get the actual fixtures and that up on Saturday afternoon.

Reckon you'll ever go to Seattle? It's one long ass flight to the west coast of the US.

I don't know if I'll ever set an actual foot in Oakland, but I've seen it from across the bay. Close enough.

I am so going to Foxboro and Boston one day

Who cares soddy, WHERE IS SHEEP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

That's a terrible time for exams, right after Christmas when no-one will have done any revision!

And that is exactly why I am extremely happy I had no exams after Christmas!

I did a course at work that started December, with a January exam. Scraped through that one because I didn't pick the book up until a week or two before the exam. I'm not wasting time bettering myself over Christmas, not with all that football and food.

1. Name a Basque football player
2. Name an animal that lives in a jungle
3. Name a British boxing world champion (past or present)
4. Name a member of the Thundercats
5. Name a type of berry
6. Name a Brit Award Nominee for this year
7. Name a current character in Eastenders
8. Name a river in mainland Europe

I must have eaten/drunk at least a litre and a half of that fresh cream you pour on apple pies etc.

Bugger me it was delicious

Basque????

Answers to me on Hero's questions by 13:45pm

Will get my answers up in admin shortly.

Going to be interesting judging by what I've got in so far, some real variation there...

You have my answers now amigo, about time I won this again. Don't let me down Lizarazu!

One of those rare French Basques, Bixente is. I think I went too contemporary with my Basque player though, judging by others.

I don't count cherries in that, even with the explanation of what/where the Basque region is, he still named a non-Basque.

On Wikipedia it says there are 357 Basque footballers with a 'name', I thought SHEEP was meant to be limited choice like 'name a berry'...

There are no limits in Sheep. Strictly speaking you don't even need to have provided a correct answer, just a common one.

Haha yes, the amount of times people put daft things like 'Q: name something red, A: a blue car' is really quite spectacular

Hero, sending you Sheeeep now

Zinedine_Ze_Zebra wrote:Hero, sending you Sheeeep now

Send it to Sodhat.

All lines closed

I'm collating answers one handed because I am eating simeltaneously. May be a while.

I see Leigh Griffiths is up to his usual tricks again. Good player but he doesn't have a single brain cell.

Azzy Mahmood wrote:Haha yes, the amount of times people put daft things like 'Q: name something red, A: a blue car' is really quite spectacular

On that note I intentionally added a couple of tricky questions to catch people out in the eight today.

Zinedine_Ze_Zebra wrote:Hero, sending you Sheeeep now

i can wait five mins for you, send them to me

Why are we waiting...

Send it to Sodhat.

Poop, will re send now

I think wrong answers should get no points btw, stupidity even on a mass level shouldn't be rewarded.

Christ, that took ages. There are 12 entrants.

Sadly, even wrong answers can be right in sheep, so they have to count. It will sting a couple of people a bit later on too.
