Bad Mongo

I see that I still have Steve Bruce among my favourites for the chop. No need to change it just yet.

Yes, but a bag of chips is worth more.

I predict a win by fewer than four goals.

You're ruining the new season for us pedants.

Just about every football pub I'd reckon. Certainly at http://www.threelions.no/site/ Cheers.

Does anyone know where to watch this in Trondheim?

I'm going to enjoy this optimism for all it's worth. 10.

Or you could just look up our record with and without him last season. He's a solid defender. And a very easy target. It was a joke. Double-contrarian being imagined as going against contrarianism, i.e. being common sense.

Typical Ronaldo double-contrarian troll comment.

Where's the fucking like button?

That's England, isn't it? Star players built up by the media that can't wait to tear them down again if they fail, which they inevitably do. They're so afraid of failure that it becomes a self-fulfilling profecy. The problem isn't the players or the manager, it's the country.

That was such a great game of football.

I hope Iceland can pull this off. Sorry: as a neutral I just want to maximise schadenfreude.

You get that from Thor ? Should be Hugin and Munin, actually. Get your Norse mythology straight.

Yes, there wasn't even a Fergie style (apart from loads of extra time whenever they needed it). I like the appointment, though. Mourinho is fairly likely to fail, and he's not very good at building for the future.

But now it's 10.

Am I the only one who finds this absolutely abhorrent? This is an antique we're talking about, not some pink Range Rover.

Suspended isn't he? He means murdered.

Kevin Nolan is a leader. If there is one player type we miss, it's his.

No, but we'll enjoy it nonetheless.

He's a footballer, not an art critic. He's just showing some appreciation for his weirdo fans. And at least, it's not Tracey Emin.

This is so exciting.

That's a 10, then.

I'm not actually reading this thread, but: do any of you believe that a competent manager would want to work for MA?

We're probably not going to improve.
