Fuck is McClaren thinking here? He can't possibly think defending is the right option, we can't defend.

he's done what you'd expect him to do more often tbh, if he could put together quality like that for 5-10 games he'd get his move less said about tracking for their goals the better mind

Spreadsheet decision or Pardew pet dog decision. Strange they'd extend after signing Darlow mind.

And being able to assess goalkeepers

The fuck?

Fuck's sake. Imagine Jonas must be loving that.

Problem is it'll cost him nothing unless the club implodes and we get relegated again or something. He'll just pile everything onto the existing debt like last time.

Shittest homage to groundhog day ever.

probably relegation then

This is a very good point.

Could be two tbf

Think gimp said it, wait until the first time he's got to get across the goal and down to the corner to make a save

Depends what he means exactly, I take it to mean from qualifying through to the tournament which is 2 years and more than enough time to 'build' something at that level imo. Max 4 years through a euro and WC campaign.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/15/alan-pardew-crystal-palace-england-job?CMP=EMCFTBEML853 oh my stars i just saw this EDIT: fuck me though, i think i might agree with what he's saying here “If it turned up on my doorstep I’d say to the FA: ‘Let me have one tournament – win, lose or bust – then my money ends when that ends.’ I’d be quite happy with that. That’s how it should be because you’re not building anything."

I've got time for Wijnaldum and a lot for Mbemba as well, plus the three just mentioned. The rest could literally expire tomorrow and I'd not care.

Really annoys me that people always put this down to players only giving a fuck against the stronger sides. For years it's been clear that we don't know what to do when the onus is on us to attack. It's really fucking basic stuff tbh. People go on like every game is the same, except some teams are stronger than others. It's no surprise we struggle to break down weaker teams if our best moments are generally around counter attacking stronger teams with pace and guile. Just seems very basic, all this. Almost all our good players are suited to playing on the counter attack, its not anything to do with only wanting to play well against good teams

what?

should that be true it tells us everything we need to know about mcclaren going forward tbh, he's just going to bend over and take it like pardew did, that's if he's not fully complicit in the first place obviously

'Player X must play'? very strange comment to make, only thing that makes sense due to use of the word structure is mcclaren being on the board is somehow f***ing with things they want on the training ground, but it's very hard to imagine what that might be unless they're after a second set of bibs but charnley won't fork out for it or something I think he's saying it's the second bit that Simpson is frustrated about. This bit: 'Despite this, player recruitment is largely controlled by chief scout Graham Carr and McClaren’s influence over some key aspects of the club remains limited.' So in my view Simpson is frustrated that, despite being on the board, McClaren has limited influence over the club. he's saying it badly then

must say also i like that style of writing from the lad, generally speaking, it's pretty direct and abrupt whereas ryder and douglas often tend to try to be critical without actually being so

Where did slughead come from? It's fucking shit.

Think they've just had summit number one.

Love the kid me like, desperate for him to start belting them in.
