Shak

Sammy is a massive obstacle to us playing good football. No awareness of what's going on.

VI way more into the match than any of us. Trying to remember what it was like to support the team. I thought I'd be able to just 180 and do it no problem. I'm definitely more interested now, Carver was a shite appointment but he's no Pardew.

Looking forward to a front three of Cisse, Perez and Cabella.

Haidara looks good in possession, actually a threat to beat people.

Great touch Neymar, then bottles it.

Class game like.

Did Kompany just let that go by him?

Gouff special.

The pictures Gouffran has of Pardew must also incriminate Carver somehow.

Colo.

Can't complain about that team tbh.

I get money means a lot, but both of them were being called up by Dunga and are genuinely good footballers in their prime. They've now thrown that away to go to China and Dubai. Same goes for Tardelli who left Atletico MG for China but he's 30 or so and at the end of his career. I'd assumed their 3rd party owners would have made the decision? Read the article you posted in the other thread, hope your league gets its act together. Student of mine who's big into football was telling me about it and he's pessimistic though.

Seems a waste for the first two. I'm sure some dudes in suits made a few quid though, which is the main thing.

Well put.

Watch the replay, he wasn't playing advantage. Though he did start gesturing for it after the ball went in.

Ref completely bottles making any decision. Stonewall penalty.

The key to success is to play against teams with injuries and suspensions apparently.

"Half full, not half empty. We take a half glass to Tottenham and see how we get on."

Hope we get a real manager and this dismal cunt gets told to fuck off.

Yeah, these dismal cunts can fuck off. Hope we get a new manager who tells them where to go.

Fans often turn on a manager after they leave, remember Allardyce being booed when he went back to Bolton with us despite doing an amazing job with them? Also worth remembering that a lot of football fans are complete fucking dimwits whose opinions should be ignored. Not saying that there may not be good reasons for Boro and Twente fans not liking McClaren, just that it's hard to tell how relevant their opinions will be relating to how he'd do here.

Rosler's wiki page is terrifying, seems like he's shite.

Anyone see Shearer's penalty on Question of Sport? Fucking buried it in the top corner.

I dunno what's worse, something baffling you that's been explained in depth or the fact that a fully grown adult has quoted Frozen. I like how he felt that was a solid way to put his point across on a football forum.

He's more useful than the rest of Pardew's buttbuddies, so he could have a future even under a new, competent manager. I'll never, ever like the lad though, he's a two faced little snake.
