Sounds like I'm missing a thriller.

Just found out I won't be able to watch this.

Just watching the cup final highlights, Paul Scharner hasn't always looked like that has he?

Is it nuts that I'd take a point?

In general I prefer the 3-4 defense. It allows you to disguise your pass rush better by having only 3 down linemen, meaning the 4th rusher can come from anywhere.

Gone into salesman mode already, some will buy it no doubt. He's not going anywhere this summer, I'm convinced of it.

Might be too little too late I'm afraid.

I liked Jon's analogy tbh.

I might well be underestimating him, but I reckon Moyes is an absolute dead cert to flop badly. Solskjcunt too.

Honestly reckon Mourinho's the only one who could take on the job and see them continue on without much of a letdown. Sure, he'll probably fuck off in a few years but is that really such a massive issue? Get him in, win some more trophies and worry about replacing him when that time comes. Do we really think there's any chance they'll bring in someone who'll be there for the next decade? The next manager is always going to be living in Ferguson's shadow, and odds are he won't last long. If anything Mourinho's a perfect option for them in my view.

Remembered that time he announced he was leaving at the end of the season? In 2001-2002. Guy will never retire, if he does leave Man U he'll probably somehow end up wrestling in TNA next season.

His interview if we do manage to stay up is going to send some folks to the asylum. Still not convinced we're safe by any means like, Villa look to be safe now so that makes Wigan's last game a very likely three points for them. I can see us bottling it against QPR with that clown calling the shots. Don't fancy QPR at all myself. We looked decent in the first half vs West Ham but not great or anything. Just have a bad feeling about it. Didn't see the West Ham game but I wouldn't fancy us to beat any team, any place at the moment. An away game against a Premiership side, even an absolutely awful one like QPR, I can't call us favourites in.

Quite the call there Kanji.

No way Ashley is that stupid. No way. Is there? What's the motivation for Ashley to put himself in that position? Could he really be fucking thick enough to believe that Pardew would be targeted by Man U or Chelsea or some shit? Sincerely hope the dismal shitstain is sent packing the minute the final whistle blows against Arsenal. I still think he stays if we stay up though, disgracefully.

Would have gone with the Haley gif had I been watching live, I suspect.

Me checking the result on my phone when I woke up. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/14342/tiger-woods-fist-pump-o.gif

Gonna be real fucking close like, disgrace that it has come to this. Last day at St. James' has the potential to get very fucking messy.

Missed this all, saw the result and was delighted with the point. Then I saw the other results.

It was a good post that made some solid points. He is a bad manager though in my view, at least at this level. He belongs in the Championship where he won't have to worry about being forced to manage genuinely top quality footballers and can just plow ahead with his bovine approach to the game.

Villa won 6-1? Can only laugh.

It needs to be visible mate, the lack of protest towards the manager at the match is shocking, given the state of affairs. Aye you're probably right, unfortunately. Just had to laugh when I saw the thread though. Like finding out you have a horrible disease and the doctor asking you if you'd like him to try and heal you.

Was there really any need for this poll like?

It'd be bad enough if we were just playing out the season, but we're in a fucking relegation battle and that's the kind of performance we serve up. Woeful.

Fell asleep at 3-0. Jesus, that scoreline. Pardew has to go man.
