Gawd, the time wasting and things when they go ahead. That prick Larsson will be everywhere. Just a horrible cunt of a manager

McClaren went up against Allardyce for the England job, didn't he? Seem to remember it being a two horse race at the time. Grim.

"I've got to.... kick Olof Mellberg up the arse!?"

It's fucking Greece man. Winning the thing in 2004 seems to have cemented them in the top seedings despite being utter garbage. Finally that's all gone to shit so we might not have them stinking up a tournament for a few years now

Fucking hell. Happy Christmas

Fucking hell. Maybe they didn't have someone lined up afterall

Depends how badly he wants work, I don't suppose he's short of a quid or two based on the payoff he got from us alone. On the other hand it's not like many people want his brand of football anymore, and he proved with us you can't organise shite in 6 months. Especially if you sign David Rozenhal

They could appoint Mr fucking Blobby it wouldn't matter, they'd still beat us. Poyet came in after an International break, lost 5-0 to Swansea and still beat us. It's beyond a joke, really.

101 with Coutinho to come. I'll only have 10 players thanks to Sagna being dropped and Targett and Muniesa getting nowhere near their respective teams these days, but whatever.

Fucking hell. Never try.

Sack whoever sanctioned this being televised

It breaks for the news and comes back to show the rest

Tonight was unbelievably bad like. Even at our worst we'd just whip crosses in to nobody. Tonight we couldn't even manage that. Yet he stuck with this 4-2-3-1 shite for the entire game, incredibly.

My favourite bit was when Paul Walsh said Pardew was the type of manager who will prioritise the cups

It is five now yes

Without somebody to hold the ball up, this system was never going to work. It was the same at Derby when Martin got injured.

Yet another who we've signed and have no idea where he fits in. Left? Right? Number 10? Fuck knows. Who needs a plan?

Am I pissed or is that from July 2014?

We've played 4 of last season's top 8. Our start is horrendous but hopefully after the second International break we'll have a better gelled team for the decent run of fixtures we have in October/November. If we're going to stick with 1 up front, Mitrovic is absolutely vital as he actually holds the bloody ball up instead, once he's a fixture in the team (if he tones down the crazy) I'm confident we'll be midtable.

Damn that dignified bastid - I've got Boro as my antepost Championship title winners. I don't think Brighton will last the pace, sadly.

the two are a terrible pairing but when they brought up the passing thing it seems (to me anyway) more instruction from the manager than the players being incapable of passing forward What about passing out of play? Colback is excellent at that

Rooney out injured? http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/manchester-united-squad-checks-lowry-10039331

This hopeless f***er http://media.giphy.com/media/ys5paotHEo6WY/giphy.gif Ah that explains it, the technology procession that masquerades as sport. That's exactly what mackem would say. Incidentally, Webber is on Lawro's prediction shite on the beeb. Says he's a Man Utd fan

How do you get into a state where your suitors are Barcelona, Newcastle & Aston Villa?

Just the 3 mentions of a failed medical in there
