This is a disgrace.

Nice sweets, too

These gifs are destroying my computer, but this is magnificent, uplifting news. What a day! He's gone! We did it!

Life is fucking great again.

Don't change the thread title, man If we ignore it, maybe it didn't really happen.

I really thought there was a chance of a renaissance

I've never really considered anyone coming in for Sissoko, just thought it was pessimism. Don't Arsenal have about 20 midfielders? They'd have to get rid of Arteta, Rosicky, Diaby etc first. We'd be screwed without him, mind.

Gerrard-watch on Sky for 6 months - they'll bring back Player Cam just to stalk him every week, Liverpool will retire the #8 shirt and tears from scouse kids will be collected to start a Steven Gerrard Memorial Fountain. Then, he'll go to Man City and fans will burn the shirts that they began to charcoal when he made eyes at Chelsea.

Oh wow, 38

Hart was benched, Vlaar injured after 14mins, S Taylor on my bench and Mirallas subbed off at HT At least I have Terry, Hazard and Costa's goals

Joe Hart benched, I have no goalie. Brilliant!

Can a club even stop that? We weren't able to stop Palace....

So do we still have permission to get blitzed in celebration tonight?

Was all set for a bloody great New Year too I need it completely confirmed.

Normal pre-match conference?

Announced on page 693.

So 3 decent, non-Howe, English managers? I don't even know if 3 options exist.

A three-man shortlist means that two aren't Carver

Pardew? Where's he off to?

Interesting idea.

Big Geordie, mate, I know you're always on there, do they know you by name now? Like ah, our friend _____ is back... etc? My cousin is Mathew Raisbeck, who works on the show and commentates on the Gateshead games and sometimes ours, when Lowes is off. I'm allowed to have my say - they don't shut me down. Ando recognizes my voice and who I am. How does he feel about Pardew? I was watching the Swansea v Newcastle game with Razor etc. and every time we misplaced a pass he'd say: "I bet that was Pardew's fault too. Get him out of there." I won't say what he says to me in private. He has to tow the BBC line as part of his job, but suffice to say he's a good lad and a proper black and white. As for Ando - I know he gets some stick sometimes and may well deserve it, but he was a hero of mine when I was a kid and having met him through the show - he's a very decent bloke. Got to remember that he can't be too critical of the regime otherwise they will take his press pass away. Must be frustrating being so neutral on-air.

I just whacked this up, debunking some Pardew myths for Palace fans. http://gegenpress.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/wake-up-palace-fans-time-for-some.html
