Scouse midfielder, sign him up.

Winner! What's the tune for it? Darude - Sandstorm. :lol:

Tempted to get Twitter just so I can follow José.

You'll almost certainly be able to find one quite easily I'd think mate. Premiership is broadcasted all over the world man. It's Newcastle - Liverpool, on Saturday 5:30 (there are no 'big' Serie A games on at this time), so there'll probably be a multitide of local and British pubs/bars etc etc that will have it on telly. I'm sure if you ask at your hotel reception or something they could point you in the right direction.

My opinions mimic this, basically.

Fucking hell man.

See you've failed with step 1, 3 and 4.

You nailed every step. 1. Name reasonably believable team. 2. Give believable backstory. 3. Use the term 'mate' or 'source' depending on required ambiguity level. 4. Explain why the source is reliable, but cover grounds when it inevitably turns out to be bollocks. http://www.cmc.iit.edu/webresources/images/certified.gif Certified ITK

I've been told this, I've been told that. You all know fuck all.

Still not having it like. The man's a fucking snake in the grass, not gonna start liking him just because we're stuck with the cunt.

Same

Fucking abysmal list. Hopefully he has fuck all say in transfers.

Aye.

Seen his Prem record mate? yes.. the clap was ironic... this appointment makes no sence at all? this whole thing baffles me?? sorry for my bad english.. Oh. It's difficult to sense if the applause is ironic through a forum smiley

Seen his Prem record mate?

Yes he will. So he will make all the decisions and not Beardo I presume then? No one knows. I guess it'll be very much the same line-up we would have seen under Hughton. Making even more of a mockery of this ridiculous, avoidable situation.

Oh for fuck's sake man.

Ha, fkn hell. Fucking hell man, they cannot be real ffs

This just made it worse for me. Just another thick footballer turned manager unable to articulate anything different. He even managed to fuck the clichés up.

I thought maybe like. Seems a bit of a crazy u-turn.

Because of one f***ing press conference? Hardly a groundbreaking press conference either was it

How can anybody think he spoke well at all? He got Hughton's name wrong, called Newcastle a town, declared that St' James' sits on top a hill and then proceeded to lie through his teeth about everything in the most blindly obvious manner possible. Saying he heard first on Tuesday about the job, saying he had to fight to get a 5.5 year contract etc... it's all mind-numbing bollocks. I thought he looked rightfully uncomfortable and almost apologetic that he'd ended up with the job. The man knows he's knee deep in a disaster waiting to happen, knows the fans and the players are going to hate him but also knows he's currently desperate for any kind of managerial job and knows that being puppet to Ashley's masterplan is his best option.
