Bad Mongo

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

I reckon Carver could have been bought for a bag of chips.

Yes, but a bag of chips is worth more.

I predict a win by fewer than four goals.

COME ONE!

You're ruining the new season for us pedants.

Does anyone know where to watch this in Trondheim?

 

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

Cheers.

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

Typical Ronaldo double-contrarian troll comment.

 

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.

It's a team game and the team always looks far better defensively with him in it. Obviously he's a poor footballer but we're aren't going to get a LB who's better than him at defending while we're in the Championship.

Where's the fucking like button?

Well that was fucking terrible, players looked absolutely terrified.

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.

whispers going around that Wonga have been removed. One of Rafa's conditions??

 

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.

Hope it steams off the tracks with that cunt at the front.

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

Hope Colback gets dropped.

 

Suspended isn't he?

He means murdered.

Kevin Nolan is only noticed when he scores imo.

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

Do we want Norwich to beat them?

No, but we'll enjoy it nonetheless.

Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo is so delighted with his new portrait of himself and team-mate John Terry that he posted a picture of it on Instagram.

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.

Page 6 will be when we release a statement backing Steve.

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.
