Wasting air space.

Which youngster on trial? Lowinsky?

There like a comedy duo. JC and Pards do America.

Christ, shut up man.

thought he meant coach. maybe im wrong Aye he did.

Serious point by Pards. Bringing in someone for set plays.

What the fuck? Didn't realise Mackems lived in America.

"You've worked in the states, in Canada".

Love the bond they have.

Think it's refreshing TBH.

Love Pards like.

Praising Simpson, sounds like he doesn't think he will stay but wants him to.

Good first question.

What question Crumps?

Started.

Me too, never really commented on this thread TBH. That Liverpool game seems so long ago now.

That Sima from here?

I feel guilty managing Everton on footy manager, never mind the scum. Christ.

We may aswell just play Beckham Scholes Lampard Gerrard in midfield. We never seem to learn anyways. Get them all in. They used to be world class and they are the best we have to offer still. Golden Generation, one final hurrah.... The other three were never as good as Scholes. I do agree that Terry, Lampard, Gerrard etc should be nowhere near the England squad but i'd have Scholes in. I assume Wilshere won't make it?

Always interesting. Pardew often gives some hints on transfers too.

IMO, Scholes is the best centre midfielder the premiership has had and comfortably the best centre midfielder England has had in about 15 year. England still need him.

Ever since his first presser, i knew he wouldnt be as bad as people thought, handled it ever so well. Didn't imagine this.

He's actually become one of the best coaches in the league. Well done.

Reading deeper into this, i think alot of this is down to making sure that the club don't back down to player demands. I think the club wants to be seen to being firm on contracts and wages, rewarding those whom they see as worthy of a new deal. I think Mike Ashley has been stung by his own decision to pay vast amounts to players who haven't performed, as well as those who he inherited. We were quite happy to give big juicy deals to Krul and Coloccini, perhaps they aren't rewarding Simpson in the same fashion because of recomendations by Pardew?

Being serious for a second, who of the Mackems past and present, do any of you rate?
