Keegan.

I said last night that, to me, Redknapp seems one of the most ludicrous suggestions possible. He'd have to be going senile to walk away from Pompey and take this job.

He's at all our games. So am I, but I've not had a phone call yet.

Why don't they take one saying "Not Graham" or "Not Venables" or even "Not Joe Bloggs"? It's not going to be McClaren ffs, it's a ludicrous suggestion.

Fuck this shit, I'm going to bed to worry about hiring Droopy.

I know something, Mourinho is more likely than Redknapp. He'd have to be off his fucking tits to take our job. It would take an immense amount of bottle for a top manager to take our job. If anyone has it, Jose does. That's not that I think he will, but it's not out of the realms of possibility. If he wants to prove he's really the Special One, and not just a chequebook manager with arrogance, this is the place to do it. Hardest job in football.

If he could get us playing like Portsmouth do then I wouldn't complain. What, not scoring a home goal in 5?

Speaking of other games, just seen Mikel's red card from last night. Fuck me! It's getting seriously out of hand this "bad tackles" nonsense.

Sick of hearing mongs on Sky Sports emailing in - "the football wasn't good enough." The RESULTS weren't good enough. Just perpetuating this ridiculous myth that we'd love to get relegated as long as we were playing good stuff.

What, he was genuinely on?

How much would postage be to send a gift set of golf clubs to Germany?

Cos he's not?

Steve McClaren.

Mark Hughes ffs.

Wrong.

Took you a while to lift that rock up and crawl out.

Aye. At least we'll have a bit of excitement around the place.

Scarily, I have to agree with the "rather Shearer than any of the other no-marks" comments.

There's no way it will be McClaren.

Oh man.

Re: the timing, maybe they thought of Arsenal, Arsenal and Man Utd as write offs (which they were/are) and want someone in to try and lift things to get points from Boro and Middlesbrough so we don't get sucked in at the bottom. I was all for giving Sam the season, but with confidence clearly on the floor at the moment, I wouldn't have even been that confident against Stoke, Bolton or Boro tbh.

Fucking hell, those mongs on SSN.

Fucking hell.

Some of the funniest threads ever have originated on the SMB - but then when you have hundreds of new threads an hour, it's not that surprising. Clearly does a good job, just look at its membership for evidence of that, but it's never been my bag. If you want to read about a breaking news story, you have to look through each of the 27 threads stretching across 3 index pages to find a decent one, then you spend an hour looking through that because they fit about 5 posts on each page. Hourses for courses and that though. This place isn't perfect, it's a very long way from it - I bet it's a lot closer than most football forums though.

I voted for Given, Harper, Beye, Cacapa, Faye, Enrique, Milner, N'Zogbia, Owen, Viduka, Martins, but then I think we've more to see from Barton (not that I'd be arsed if we ripped the twat's contract up) and even Rozehnal, cos I refuse to accept that a seasoned Czech international can be so poor. Our players aren't as bad as they look at the moment, they're just not.
