Spain gonna get beat down again

Don't know how he's got in above Sammy in the pecking order, especially after Pardew went on about promoting English youth and saying Dummett/Sameobi were on the first team fringes.

He was horrific vs Swansea. Really stunk it up and wouldn't have been able to strike the ball cleanly if we played for another 90 minutes. In fact I'm sure he'd have passed out if he played for about 10 minutes more than he did.

Monumental is a bit strong, it's not the Allianz Arena or the Etihad - it's a Rooney-and-RVPless Old Trafford where WBA and Everton have come away with three points with a bit of belief and discipline!

Seaman, Flowers (x2), Manninger, Cech also won it - suck it Schmeichel!

Mark Schwarzer

Spot on.

Were his Decembers at previous clubs balls too? Incredibly we also had poor Decembers before Pardew too 18 December 2001 [the one date I remember uncannily well in respect of football ]

Another 'Manager of the Month' award to add to his list of deranged delusional achievements.

Meaningful award tbh.

Meaningless award.

I forgot we weren't already out. The fact that you think we're in it is the magic of the Cup!

Man City away ideally.

There's a fucking great niche business opportunity to be had with thick footballers who don't know how to handle having multiple cars without going to court. Clearly not in the remit of their agents/personal managers/PAs.

Still think we'll still lose on the weekend FWIW.

Agree with the post as a whole, but this bit particularly resonates. I think Spurs beating them 3-2 last year was a watershed moment in many ways. They're a very poor side on the whole with a few world class players. Well, two or three.

93, pile of shite. Lead down to 2 points. Teams behind me are unrelenting.

What you would expect to happen when one Premier League side asks another Premier League side to attack them without fighting back, happened.

That's nice but aren't we above all those teams bar Everton? Although I realise looking at the league table is largely frowned upon. It's always nice to deliver a good bumming, but it's not particularly important. Bumming is of the utmost importance in life.

Nah, one of them is Papiss.

Rooney out, how? Suspended. Cool, Evra header, Hernandez tap in and god knows who for the 3rd Good shout. Outjumping Williamson is my guess I'll also go for a Chicharito tap-in from a cross with no pressure on the man out wide.
