Fucking hell Norwich, if they'd done that at home against these cunts I could have had 2 grand.

Am I fuck supporting Middlesbrough.

My favourite Pard moment was when he told the bloke with cancer to fuck off.

I'd like him to live out his life in the next 20 minutes

No, many are waiting to see what happens in the summer, hoping for the best but prepared to cancel their dirst debits at the end of the window. Even though they've been paying for next season since February, and will continue to pay throughout the summer? How stupid are these people and can I have their address so I can go round and sell them some dinosaur insurance? Many are on the price freeze, 10yr thing, willing to pay till August and risk it. Most I sit with with are doing it No wonder he's not selling up. Thick as whale spunk.

The club have cottoned onto a strategy now after last summer - sell in January, let contracts run down, basically ensure that the squad is decimated by May. Then spend a load of money in the summer, like last year, and many people will renew, presumably because they have the intelligence and attention span of a cardboard box.

Cups are completely worthless when judging a manager's worth. McClaren's Eredivisie? That's fine, a real achievement. But cups? Winning a few particular games, that might be much easier than your normal ones, depending on your draw, over the course of an entire season that might otherwise have been absolutely shit? Alex McLeish and Graeme Souness have both got a League Cup, whilst Di Matteo has a Champions League - Avram Grant would also have one if John Terry hadn't fell over. It's simply not something that should even be mentioned when discussing the merits of a manager. For that, league seasons are the only true measure.

"They have ended their sponsorship deal with Hearts" Err no, Hearts got a new owner who promptly told them to fuck off.

No other Premier League club is going to touch him at the moment. We don't have any standards but everyone else does.

Sacked by Derby County and we had him as number one choice

Good listen that lads.

"Me, lager. Stoney, lager. Woody, lager sometimes cider, so different drinks for different...needs."

Got mine now.

Accepting Mediocre Manager A because it's temporarily better than Shit Manager B is playing right into their hands. That's exactly what they want you to do. They've lowered expectations to the point where some fans are desperate for a bloke who just made a complete hash of getting out of the division that we're currently trying to avoid. Best thing to do is take a step back and not let yourself be manipulated by this. They don't care about you so don't waste your emotion on them.

It's just an auto email, probably sent itself as soon as I signed up. They say it'll be in by 5.30pm in the t&cs tbf.

I've had an email, still waiting on my refund though, I'll avoid doing it if I can. Nobody's ever lost fifty quid quicker than I did on Snakes and Ladders.

Did any of you have to verify your McLean account before withdrawal?

Ditto, put another £20 on about an hour ago.

Yep, goal difference.

This is why those predictor things everyone becomes so obsessed with at times like this are so bloody pointless. If any of us could predict football results, we'd be extremely rich.

For me, the best example of the sort of thing he had to put up with was when he put Stoke to the sword on that Boxing Day. 5-1 win, Ben Arfa set up three of them. The BBC match report said this: Three days later we played Arsenal, with one change. Ben Arfa out, Tiote back in, Gouffran still on the field and we lost the game to nil. Arsene Wenger was quoted afterwards by a French journalist as saying "I was scared when you came on Hatem." Ben Arfa didn't start another league game for over a month. How can any footballer succeed in that managerial environment, where they're not rewarded for good performances but are always punished for poor ones? I'm pretty sure you can make any footballer look like they're acting the prick, if you deliberately set out to be a complete cunt to them, even moreso if they're already known for being temperamental. Pardew played our gullible fans like a fucking fiddle.

It would be no different to if Perez started getting randomly dropped after great performances behind Riviere and played out of position, people would want him in the team. From there, others claim it's an "unhealthy obsession" Not really. I just want him in the team because the alternatives are fucking rank. That goes for Yanga-Mbiwa and Santon too. It also goes for Sissoko, and Janmaat, and Krul. I think they should be in the current team = "obsession"
