'Puncheon Judy'

He even has one of those regen heads. Ginger afro, man

Thanks to the Cup draw, Liverpool are unlikely to be in Europe next season. Those and perhaps Spurs are the only teams I'm worried about signing him. Might be clutching at straws here.

From a footballing view, this is terrible news. But from a human point of view, this is even worse. Get well soon, Eric.

Exactly. Wonder if he has any regrets. But as long as he's still shipping in 16 year olds from Barcelona, everythings ok, yes?

3 points behind, their game in hand is against West Brom, it's not impossible. Mathematically it's possible. But they're mentally weak (4-4), susceptible to silly defeats, only have one way of playing and their goalkeeper/defence resembles Laurel & Hardy pushing a piano up the stairs. Even in this strange season, I don't see them as champions.

Wenger revolutionised Arsenal 15 years ago and he's still one of the best managers around. But he's also an absolute idiot at times. JUST. BUY. A. GOALKEEPER. 6 years without a trophy, man. Stop being silly.

Yep, he's followed Mourinho around a lot and has now broken out on his own. Only 33, he never played professionally but is a Football Manager obsessive. Would love us to snap him up if a takeover happens in the next couple of years.

That graph is all over the place.

Is the Wembley pitch massive? If so, even Delap might struggle to get it near the 6 yard box.

Hopefully Chicken Kiev won't collapse in the second leg, then.

What happens if Man City win the UEFA Cup? Is that an extra spot for 6th place? Despite the prospect of Stoke in Europe, I'm actually pretty pleased about this. Firstly, theres no hope of Sunderland getting in Europe. Secondly, if Liverpool don't get in, then I'd be more confident of Enrique staying. We were never ever going to finish 6th anyway.

Just downloaded this now. Pretty excited about reading it, actually.

Reading a very interesting book lately and they say that over the long term, the bigger teams will always be big and the small teams will always be small. And they're right, of course. That gives me hope for the future. This Ashley era has been a disastrous hell, but one day he'll go. One day he'll sell up, one day we'll have a good owner and one day the good times will be back. We just have to patiently get over this roadbump. It may be Ambani, it may be somebody else. But we'll get there eventually

Loved that interview and he reveals a lot too. Thinks we need 6 players in the summer and the way we've treated HBA's injury has been received very well in France (where we're still a massive club). Didn't know he's from up here either. And tbh I trust this man to deliver the goods....whether the club screw him over is another matter.

Forster > Krul I just don't feel confident with Krul in goal.

Does he realise he's humiliating himself? He just says stupid thing after stupid thing......

How the hell do Blackpool have no tradition? Pompey n all. It might be my youth showing, but surely all Blackpool have contributed to football is Matthews/Mortensen? And as for Portsmouth.....the bell guy and John Beresford, maybe? Both teams lack in trophies, have tiny stadia, are from lesser known places and have barely made a dint in English football. Maybe a bit harsh. But I could name about 30 bigger clubs than them.

I'm an advocate of ridding the PL of 'nothing' clubs and replacing them with good, big, traditional clubs. Recently Boro, Hull and Pompey have thankfully went. Hopefully Wigan and Blackpool join them. I'd like Leeds, Forest and theres no point naming a third as it'll obviously be QPR. But yes, three awful teams would be nice too.

It seems like regular Spurs target Luis Fabiano has signed for Sao Paulo from Sevilla, for 7.6m euros. Wow.

Big Suze

Turk from Scrubs? Interesting. Can't say I totally get what Pardew is thinking here.....

Of course he won't. That'd imply stability. Just when you think the cycle of managers will end, another victim is made.
