More of the same, with the added bonus of being told you can't moan about it because you should have been careful what you wished for when we weren't happy with getting turned over 4-0 every other week under Pardew.

Dyche has a spine, would ask too many awkward questions in the interview and be ruled out like Vieira.

Been suggested he's now subject to investigation. I imagine to continue as president he'd have to travel to various countries who might nick and/or extradite him. Wouldn't be surprised if he retired somewhere not particularly known for having extradition treaties.

All home league games, not been bothering with the cups because I waste enough leave already, and we don't want to be in them. Go to a few away games, usually make a weekend of it with the lads, have a night out in Hull, Birmingham or whatever before and after.

Short bus more like.

Warner is definitely going down, he's too thick to keep his mouth shut, unlike Blatter. From what he's said so far it seems his defence will be "It's OK to take and give bribes as long as the money goes to a good cause."

I love the fact Germany is called Ale Mania. What's France, Cheese Frenzy?

Dunno, just caught on. It's a fun crowd, drums and dancing. Mostly wee guys but fair play for creating an atmosphere. Says a lot that I enjoyed Motherwell - Ross County than Newcastle - Man City Our fans should adopt a song too, if only so half of them might actually fucking sing. The Ajax one is mad too although they are probably off their nuts all game I vote for the Ducktales theme. a-woo-ooh.

One has just been sacked by a Derby team whose fans are glad to see the back of him after he fucked up getting them out of the division below us. tbf my next door neighbour is a Derby fan and he has nothing but good things to say about McClaren, reckons he completely turned them around and had them playing decent football. He claims the drop in performances this season was mainly down to their top scorer Chris Martin getting injured in Feb and Jordan Ibe being recalled by Liverpool in January. Still don't want him mind, but I do think he's step up from Pardew and on a different planet to Carver. Everyone is on a different planet to Carver, which probably means it's him that's on the other one.

Last time I went to the Baltic pretty much the only thing there was a room with a shed in it. Just a shed. Except you weren't allowed to take pictures of it, like you can with my shed.

Surely no matter how much they 'groom' him internally, they're not going to give him the top job when he's never managed at the top level before? It wouldn't be a matter of demanding him back, if he turns out well there'll be a natural rise in expectation over the course of the season and he'll go there. Although I think the same was said about O'Neill using the mackems as a stepping stone to the Man U job...

Regardless of if he ends up having the talent to achieve anything, I think in terms of intent he'd have passion and drive as a young hungry manager out to prove himself, and wouldn't just be happy going through the motions and doing it as a 9-5. Which would probably mean as soon as he started asking questions about the club's aims and ambitions he'd tell them to fuck off.

You know exactly what you'd get with McClaren and it's not particularly interesting. Vieira could be better, he could be worse, but on that alone I'd prefer him. I just want to feel something. Of course ideally we'd get someone who was both proven and has the potential to surprise us. But Charnley is in charge of it.

Had to fight through this horrible bunch on my way back from work. Half of them were absolutely mortal, could barely stand up, staggering into traffic etc. Lots of horrible pissed lasses in shirts of teams I didn't recognise for a team that play a sport I don't care about slurring "Oooh, ahh, you're shit!" at the bus I was on. Was basically the worst bits of football fans but with far more foam hands and selfie sticks.

If' it's Carver, McClaren or Vieira, I'd go for Vieira. Add Laudrup and I'd probably prefer him.

It's starting to look like the bidding process for these might have been dodgy.

Let's go FIFA! Let's go FIFA! Hail Hydr- uh Let's go FIFA!

Sure the sponsors love seeing stuff like this http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/people-are-criticising-fifa-world-cup-sponsors-with-corrupt-corporate-logos-10280042.html

Has it always been the case you lose all loyalty points if you don't renew your season ticket for a season, or is that an Ashley addition? Considering I've build up over 100 points watching shit I'd be fucked off if we actually get to a final in the next few decades and I can't get a ticket because they finally broke me back in in 2015 and it reset to zero.

Sepp Blatter is going to go from claiming to be in best of health when running for re-election to being wheeled into courtrooms with an oxygen tank, I guarantee.

Had 80 names on it that, Man. Have to pare it down a bit.

Gonna be a very shortlist I imagine. Probably currently reads 1. John 2.

"Lee Charnley to draw up head coach shortlist after being handed full control of search" Shortlist, that's a canny idea. Wonder how long it took him to come up with that one.
