Honestly, if it is McLeish, I will ejaculate my head clean off my shoulders. Pics. You won't need them. You'll see it fly over your heads about 30 minutes after.

Ha ha ha ha, I just realised something. Alex McLeish is out of work. Oh, please, please, please God, on so many levels, you must make it happen.

I kind of feel you've been short changed with the timing, should have been end of season when you finish ahead of them putting them down. No, they're done for now. He's a cunt (as a person for how he shat on us), and he is an anachronism, but you can not stop a juggernaut like their charge to the Championship with a new manager and seven games to do it in, not a prayer. Plus they'll spend the next three years finding bills and invoices for UK based agents stashed behind sofas / under filing cabinets / behind cupboards.

We should, right? New manager form for the derby? Honestly, relax. This is a monumental error. End of season? Yes, definitely. Now? No, big, big mistake. What kind of manager is going to take that job? A juggernaut heading towards the Championship?

Was he any good mate? Fucking awesome. After all, he had us into sixth place. Oh, hang on ....

That's the funniest thing ever.

Tell you what, if they appoint David O'Leary now, I am declaring myself the KING of this forum.

That's them done for now. Regardless of what a cunt MON is, they'll never install someone and turn things around now. They're down.

I wonder what sort of wage bill controls Short has in place. He can't have not seen coverage of the state of our finances. Lerner was partly culpable for that, but id love to know if Short did his homework in that respect. At one point our wage bill was over 10m higher than that of Spurs and 20m higher than Everton's. I also read that at one point, we were paying Steve Sidwell almost double what Spurs were paying Modric. That's what happens when you don't scout abroad. Lerner must look at Benteke now and shit his pants with joy.

I had Sunderland at 10s the other week. Look at their price now!

Out of interest, now March is largely over, how many points did Martin amass this month? I may have mentioned, he never won much in March with us. Same XI, totally knackered, out of steam etc etc

Yeah, but look at the table, look how many sides are bunched on a small points difference. The general standard in the PL this year is abysmal, there are lots of teams still at risk. If you go down - and you won't - it won't be because of losing at Man City, a place almost everyone loses. Just win a couple of your more winnable games and you'll be fine.

First post I see on RTG is moaning that week in, week out, tactics are the same, regardless of the opposition. Ha ha ha, that sounds very familiar.

Losing less money, producing more of your own players and not relying on the munificence of owners is going to be something more and more clubs are going to start to do, I think.

I don't really know the ins and outs of your finances, but I do remember going to watch a match at SJP for the first time in 1986, and genuinely for a moment thinking I'd wandered into Gateshead athletics stadium, the ground was such an antiquated dump. I mean no offence, but I honestly couldn't get over it, crappy and open and both ends, the Leazes terrace seeming to be a few steps and a brick wall, and the stand opposite the 1970s era one (sorry, don't know name, to the left as you stand on the Gallowgate) looked like it was at least 100 years old. It was the least impressive top flight football ground I'd been to. So, I compare that to what the ground is now, and regardless of how much SJH put in or didn't put in, or how much later executives took etc etc, at some point between 1986 and, say, 7 or 8 years ago (since when I guess the ground hasn't changed), someone must have stopped getting things wrong, and got it spectacularly right at some point. Especially when you consider that it was all done without actually winning anything at any point. Just an ill-informed, generalising observation.

I saw that, and immediately thought of the reaction on here, then made a mental note to use the internet less.

Honestly, as an outsider with no natural bias against Sunderland, that article re Moyes has to be the most ridiculous thing I've read in a very long time. If I were a Sunderland fan, I'd actually feel embarassed to be reading it.

Best ever football song. MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon earlier this year, AFC fans "Where you you when you were us?" Truly brilliant.

I have no axe to grind with Sunderland, but honestly, how small time do you have to get to hold a grudge against Coventry City for several years?

Just a heads up for the NextGen tournament, which I think is a fantastic idea. It's an invitational thing, and involves a number of clubs across Europe sticking their youth teams into a CL style format competition. I've been to a few of our games (though not tonight's when we beat Olympiacos to reach the semi finals), and they're really good to watch. It kind of gives a decent framework to youth team football, and you get a decent chance to see the possibly next great things. It'd be great to see even domestic youth football get a more high profile, organised, less bitty competition to encourage and make the most of academy products.

Of course it would. Even if the theory of a ball-player at the back vs San Marino would help us play it out from the back, it's completely unnecessary given the level of the opponent, and will do nothing for our future defensive cohesiveness. Taylor is more than capable of bringing the ball out from the back, especialy against the likes of San Marino In fairness, Stephen Hawking would probably do a good job of that in this fixture.

Errrr *shakes fist at sky* I'd like to see one of our second goal at Reading, the 26 pass one, but oh no, you had to go for the own goal ...... Very good though. http://www.pixelreplay.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/MSNBakerReadingAstonVilla.png
