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.

Travesty that we shunted out MYM to keep building the defense around him, he's over the hill and is getting worse all the time. Do San Lorenzo still want him?

Nice of you to suggest I 'love Pardew' Gouffran is shit. I agree. I'd rather see HBA. But, I'd sacrifice both to see Aarons secured onto a decent contract. HBA and Aarons play on different sides though, and we need more than one player who can play out wide. If we're going 4-3-3 I'd love to see us go with HBA, Cabella and Aarons as our primary options in the wide spots with Sammy and Obertan providing depth. Players with pace who can run at and beat people, they'll frustrate us at times trying to do too much but will always provide a threat. Fuck off Gouffran. Perhaps Perez will end up playing wide too ultimately depending on the style our new manager wants to adapt, I'd prefer he stay central but have no doubt he could be extremely effective on the right cutting inside.

Ben Arfa also clearly has a real affinity for the club and actually enjoys playing for us. Combine that with his immense talent and some of the things he's done with the ball for us and I really don't see why people wouldn't want him back if it was a possibility. Perhaps things are too far gone in regards to his relationships with other players, I don't know. But if it was just a personality clash with Pardew, who has now gone, then why would you not want him back Crumpy? Do you not think he's a good player?

I thought people were against Carver because he's been manager once in his career, a shite spell at Toronto in MLS? Won 12 games out of 40, losing 16 times. Is that not a good reason? Or maybe it's his record as caretaker manager? 4 wins in 16 games. He lost all the others by the way. It shouldn't even be a discussion. The man has no pedigree whatsoever and wouldn't be considered for a manager job by any professional club in the entire world, yet we have to have a discussion on why he'd be anything other than a shite, lazy hire?

Thread title change gave me AIDS.

Convinced there are plenty of managers who'd be thrilled to work in our setup with the quality of player we've shown the ability to bring in over the last few years. Carr and Pardew were shite together because the players Carr likes are the opposite of what Pardew can work with. Plenty of managers out there who would be over the moon with having the likes of MYM, Ben Arfa, Cabella and Anita "forced" upon them. Add players like that to some of the poor cunts that have been pardewed and I'd be amazed if there wasn''t plenty of interest from young, talented coaches on the continent.

He sure is. I love you. Became a father two months ago... think this may top it.

Just been away in the middle of nowhere to unwind for a few days. Came back to this. Think I'm in shock... he's actually going?
