Truly a baffling decision to sack an up-and-coming manager who had performed admirably well on the limited resources at his disposal. The question now is will Ashley appoint a manager that will take us further? Will he fuck.

Just seen this, how did this happen ffs? Makes you wonder when we're ever going to stop being a laughing stock of a club.

Woman's football could take over the world if they were all oiled up and wearing bikinis. Would probably be a kick in the uterus for feminists though so I can't really see it happening.

A good performance will almost undoubtedly land him a start in the next competitive match; something I can imagine Carroll is dying to be involved in. The club has already displayed its trepidation, but the question is will Carroll put the clubs best interests ahead of his international aspirations, or will he risk further injury trying to cash in on what he might see as a glorious opportunity to get himself into the England set-up? You would hope he would exercise a bit of discretion and pull out until he's fully fit, but the prospect of leading the line for your country at 21 might be seen as too good an opportunity to pass up. FWIW I think he'll play, run himself into the ground and sideline himself for three matches afterward.

He'd be a great signing for Liverpool, i think.

I'm sure Dave made that suggestion in jest. Even if he did want to leave, he'd have much better prospects than Newcastle lining up.

Should've buried one of those, unlucky.

All Fulham now.

Without trying to sound overly negative, I just fail to see what Lovenkrands will offer us in attack.

Went for this.

How do handicaps work? I just put 20 quid on England -2 and Russia -1, without knowing what they actually mean

Ben Arfa's goal was 112kmph if the punditry team at 'AD Sports' is to be believed.

I really wish we had Umbro or Nike making our kits.

Yes but they've spent upwards of 13 million pounds on an unproven striker in, what looks to be, a desperate panic buy. Not saying he won't be a success, because he might well be, but it's an extremely risky bit of business; especially when there must be plethora of more accomplished candidates out there who would represent less of a gamble for them.

Pennant to sit on Gudjohnsen's shoulders for the throw ins.

Their total wages probably come to less than his as well . . . . . Don't be daft man.

Same.

Impressive tbh.

"Afternoon. Pack of blue rizlas please... Oh and toss in that wolf too. Cheers pet."

Weed and wolf shops... bad mix

There are wolf shops over there?

Shit. Oh well, good result for them.

Must admit I know nothing about Wolves, but the vibe here seems pretty pessimistic.
