My betting instincts are in tandem with the Betting Gods... of another ducking reality.

Of course

Can't believe I didn't put anything on 0-0 at HT for this shower.

I think you're forgetting Peter Crouch's contract extension at Stoke.

Bruce and Carver have to be the ugliest combination this season. The state of that handshake shot. They might censor it.

What on earth is he prattling on about?

Carver can't even mimic the savoire faire of a clogger manager with any conviction Fucking hell.

He looks like the "what what in the butt" guy. Well, his hair.

I'd have kept Schurrle over Cuadrado tbh. Thought he has been criminally under-utilised by Mourinho, though defeats to Bradford, Spurs and NUFC aside, they're not doing too shabbily.

You wish.

It's the perfect song and perfect video for him.

Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor: 2 - Elazığspor: 2 on youtube. 50 seconds in. The greatest goal of all time. :lol:

Has this ever happened in a major competition?

Ian W playing devil’s advocate for the sake of fairness, in defence of a manager he doesn’t want, is like the Undertaker walking the top rope.

Agree Hull are diabolical.

Sell 'em cheap, and stack 'em high.

Toyed with the idea of replacing football with another sport too, but the American sports aren't for me - not least because they're in a different time zone!

It's a great post, but even the most loyal fan will be replaced by new fan sadly.

to the point. I agree, I honestly cannot see how it's possible for him to be in charge past the summer. Even our fans won't allow it. Same was said about Pardew, within two months most of the fanbase were lodged up his arse. We're already seeing justification for him: open attacking football against Southampton, 20 minutes against Chelsea... If the players string two passes together at any point in the next five months, there'll be a significant minority wanting him in full time. As I've said before, Carver doesn't have the nous to placate and deceive the fans to anything like the extent Pardew did. Nor does he have a 5th place finish to defend his position with. I think you might be overestimating the correlation between an Ashley-backed manager keeping his job and that manager having the backing of the fans. Also, getting the backing of these fans is easy as most don't really give a shit either way.

I was enjoying that.

Living the dream The heady heights of 16th and beating NUFC in their worst period in recent history. Could it get any sweeter?

Betfair paid out on Carver

gonna milk this SBR invocation for all it's worth. As if it's a fucking shield. Honestly makes me want to puke. So disrespectful man.

I thought the timing was quite funny as they were clearly waiting for Carver to be riding the crest of a freak fantastic result, more or less guaranteed by the Laws of Averages, but after five or six losses on the bounce thought: "nyeh, fuck it - we could be waiting ages, let's just give it to him with a decent amount of time while the FA cup is on and a loss is a week away either side".
