Should have followed Boro's example from a few years ago, when they replaced Gareth Southgate with Gordon Strachan purely to save money on training kit.

I'm sure we hear that they want "at least one in before the pre-season tour" every fucking summer.

He's been the most consistent performer in our back five (inc. Krul) for two seasons now. He absolutely deserves it IMO.

That's fucking class

Having read that article you posted where they speak to Cathro, I'm wondering whether part of him agreeing to come here is that if he sticks it out until McClaren goes, he gets the gig. Even makes me think that the strange way they said "three-year deal, possibly rising to eight" about McClaren's contract is that they always had a young, progressive assistant in mind (Neville, Zenden, Cathro); they evaluate whether McClaren might move upstairs permanently to assist/replace Carr after the three years and if so, ready-made replacement who already knows the club, city, squad etc. Of course, that all sounds far too organised and forward-planned for our bloody cowboy outfit

Best guy ever, amazing appointment, future king of the universe He'll be a decent choice and do quite well He'll probably be a bit underwhelming and not that great He's a fucking battered mars bar piping cunt (just covering all bases when this page is inevitably quoted like the Carver thread was)

We must still be haggling at Ronnie Barker's haberdashery for that bolt that we're going to attach the horse with.

Aye, it'll go the same way too - we'll hum and har for weeks before eventually not bothering to do anything.

Was Richard Keogh who did that shite sliced clearance and allowed Zamora to promote QPR the other season, wasn't it?

Spurs

I'm going to keep mentioning it until it's referred to as often as Ronnie's Haidara/Liverpool 0-6 comment, but his showing in the 7-3 at Arsenal was probably the worst individual performance from any midfielder we've had since we were promoted. I was 'done' back then, and clearly so was he.

Time to move him on. Well, that time was about two and a half years ago, but whatever.

If he's wanting to become a manager fairly soon, he'll take one look at Ashley's history of lazily appointing assistants to the top job and be straight down to the training ground to sign.

I'd like to think there's more chance of DCI Jim Carver getting the gig.

Lee Ryder saw this thread title and popped out for a six pack and a sausage and bean melt to celebrate.

:lol:

What a fucking goal

"dead air is a crime" But so are shite anecdotes about the squad getting ice creams and 10k runs etc.

Anyone heard of Cathro? Relative of that comedian

They're snazzier than Robert's grey uns like

Won't happen

nearly as bad as Aaron Lennon's welcome to Everton photoshoot

Even the fucking tumbleweed can't be arsed to do a few laps, such is our blatant inactivity.
