Penalty for not wearing mandatory strip: withdrawal of 5% discount from club shop. That'll teach 'em what for.

Lovely post... well, horrible post, but you know what I mean. The club wants to fall asleep and never wake up.

:lol: I really hope he remembered his self-satisfied smug post as he sat there for 90+ excruciating minutes.

Bit disrespectful to Wayne Rooney that. Ask any San Marino or Ipswich defender if Rooney sends terror to their hearts, they'll tell you.

So much rests of the management's hopes rests on his shoulders you feel.

Haven't they done that 3 times in the last month? For self-confidence and to re-inspire a fear factor in others, I'd get a few 3+ wins if I were Mourinho. Plus payback is a bitch for all those times we beat them.

Froggy? Oh, wait, I thought you said "ant".

This is the f***ing killer. Even at his fattest, most disinterested and greedy HBA would at least get you off your seat once a game. Yep. Both posts sum it up nicely. Yep - in any one season, HBA was a guarantee of winning you points by himself. Embarrassing that we got rid of him when we did - he is now equal second in Ligue 1's scoring charts. 4 goals and one assist in three games.

Agree. I'm still a little upset last year wasn't the year of relegation - got really good odds early on. Would have won a grand. This year I'll have to put up £500 as stake to get such a return. They'd spawn 17th place if I did, so I'm not betting this time.

Did he? Or just yet another case of investing in potential profit on sales? If he wanted to spend £50m staving off relegation hes far more sensible ways to invest that sort of money No reason why it couldn't have been both but I would have thought his primary aim was to keep NUFC in the PL (for TV revenue/a more prestigious marketing platform for SD). Carrolls/Cabayes etc are nice bonuses.

From a cut-your-nose-off-to-spite your face standpoint, relegation would be quite funny Ashley finally invests some money in the squad - £50m - to stave off the looming threat of relegation (a miserly amount in the context of the years of squad neglect and the current market place), ships off the utterly ridiculous coaching team of Carver and Stone, then... still ends up relegated and losing his precious Premiership TV money. Double sucker punch. Delicious. It's not really even my nose tbh - it's the fans who still go/watch/care.

On the assumption McClaren will be gone soon (seems inexorable at this point), hope Ashley has the sense (*chortle*) to hire a good man-manager. Haven't had a good one since Hughton, and Keegan before that. Someone to inspire this downtrodden troupe of misfits into a team that looks like they have motivation and purpose for being on the field.

I always knew Decky would be shite.

Costa will plant a gun on him in the 16th minute. :lol:

Is there some kind of secret old boy competition to see who can do the shittest as NUFC manager and not get relegated?

2 poached eggs Baked potato Broccoli Carrot Broad beans Ketchup Yes, really. Pasta with white sauce. Sprinkled with garlic granules and Cholula chilli sauce.

Jack Colback over head kick from 35 yards out. Rips the netting off the frame of the goal.

I've seen some unbelievable comments but this one is a step too far. As if Mick Lows is going to buy "a" pie. The bigger mendacity being Mick Lowes clearly couldn't outrun a stationary object.

Inconsequential. Can't find anyone you'd fancy NUFC against in the next round.

:lol:

Why is Pellegrini risking injury of his stars against these at 0-4?

Mike Dean is gonna get a paddlin'.

The sorcerer, himself.

Incredible
