These aren't even part of the 8 they listed earlier. They must have tons of people worried.

Not Cellino!

That was just for a single player though, they implied he had a few of them on the go. Probably picked up hundreds of thousands if he's been doing it for a while.

Hmm...

I reckon Carver could have been bought for a bag of chips.

I reckon they taste like gravy.

He's spent his whole career chasing this job, finally got it in his sixties, then forced to quit after one game. The only way this could be any sweeter is if it had happened to Pardew.

None of those apply to us - managers didn't have anything to do with those deals.

Think its more to do with the fact that Derby are doing s*** and he blamed the players after saturday. Bruce lined up to replace him apparently. All major news people reporting that he's been suspended, you wouldn't just be suspended because you're shit. Something has gone on there. More likely to have chinned someone than taken bribes IMO.

Is that the first time a video's been improved by James Corden turning up?

Tough teams. This is a league that the likes of Mick McCarthy and Neil Warnock dominate. The only reason it has a reputation for being tough, physical and hard to get out of is because it's full of Proper Football Men who don't know any other way to play.

Just clicked "new" and saw this. We were so bad.

Of course he's obsessed with us. We're literally the only notable thing to happen to him in the last decade, professionally or personally. Before he joined and after he left, all he's done is sit around waiting for a heart attack.

This is so true - didn't he mention his 'experience' with difficult players when he signed the fucker too? Wasn't HBA mentioned? He said if he could deal with Ben Arfa then he could deal with Adebayor. And he kept to his word there - he dealt with both players by not giving them games.

This is like the Thatcher thread now. Keep clicking it when it's bumped, only to be left disappointed that the cunt's not dead yet.

Don't blame him for going to Sunderland. When you consider the alternative, prolonging his career like that may well have saved his life.

Like myself, you have no idea of what actually caused his death. Well unless you personally conducted his post mortem examination. The taser might have caused his death, the taser might not have caused his death. Nobody knows at this stage. Likewise none of us know enough about what actually went on to say whether the use of taser was justified or not. Well that's bollocks. Cardiac arrest caused his death. I do know that the police are often over zealous in using force. I do know that there are clear associated risks associated with the use of tasers. As such they should only ever be used as a last resort in my opinion. I know that this is often not the case. Aye, it's possible he might have had an unrelated heart attack at exactly the same time they tasered him, but I think we're safe to assume it was the taser.

This debate about whether the police should be allowed tasers must seem surreal to our American contingent.

Wait, the season starts tonight? Not been paying attention.

I love how Allardyce got the gig and even Bruce was interviewed, but Pardew didn't get mentioned. Hope he cries himself to sleep over it.

Bet that was a hell of a match. It was that long ago that Juninho, Southgate, Djorkaeff and Steve McClaren's hair were all there. And Kevin Nolan, of course.

How do you "rebuild" an international team when you have a fixed pool of players to choose from and no transfer budget?

Sunderland feels like a perfect match for Moyes. Good appointment.
