Yeah, it can't be that he meant what he said. It must be part of the evil anti-Liverpool conspiracy.

Dear Mr. Pardew, Who dares, wins. That is all. Yours sincerely, Ozzie

Shearer talking sense about all this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16996060

Hatem is basically the new Tino.

How the fuck are you supposed to measure "expectation"?

Ah, the ZX Spectrum. How well I remember the 20-minute wait as you loaded up some game from a tape cassette.

Get real. He was dismayingly crap as England manager. And worst of all – the last thing I would have expected of him, and defeating the whole fucking point of having KK as England manager – unadventurous in both selections and his approach to matches. England weren't just crap under Keegan, they were dull and uninspired.

HTT's the fan who would rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0.

Dunno about Italians, but the French talk about "les anglo-saxons" quite a lot.

So fuck off you dour Silvio-Berlusconi-supporting twat. 'Arry's the man for me. I'd be pleased, of course, if this had an adverse effect on Spurs, but I honestly think he'd be a good England manager.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/07/sir-alex-ferguson-racism So the choice is clear for Saturday: Martin Luther Ferguson or Adolf Dalglish.

It makes him a poor NUFC manager, though. Piss-poor, actually. Pardew, on the other hand, is clearly a pretty good NUFC manager. He's got to grips with the situation at the club and, working within tighter limits than most of the clubs around us in the table, has been wringing out results, assembling the beginnings of a pretty tasty squad, and even had us playing some half-decent football at times. The Stoke game has recently been mentioned once or twice on this thread as an example of us playing "hoofball". Me, I thought it was an object lesson in how to beat that lot at their own game, in their own gaff. I really enjoyed it. Anyway, Allardyce. Poor NUFC manager. Proven to be such. Fuck knows why we're comparing him to Pardew, who has exceeded absolutely everyone's expectations.

Agree with just about every word of that.

Spurs don't look like they're really up for it.

Heroic effort to win involving a few more injuries to key Spurs players before next week's game would do me fine.

Good game, this.

Alan McInally. Ex-Aston Villa.... Figures.

Who's this cunt of a co-commentator? He's like Ray McWilkins.

Given's somehow looking both a bit porkier and a bit poncier than he used to. Like the evil, decadent version.

Ah yes. History.
