Anderson

Putting Shola in the same bracket as Cisse and Demba.

Oh Pards, you tease.

No, another centre half and a young un. Promising.

Did he say 2 CBs? Thought he only mentioned bringing a young'un in...

Williamson > Saylor according to Pards.

Williamson is going to score the goal that puts us into the CL.

Pardew conceding we've been very poor from set-plays this season.

Fucking America, man.

Basically laying into Simpson's agent.

"He's dealt with McClean...."

Carver said within 5 minutes of being with Pardew he knew this was the right place to be.

Pound for pound we've been the best team.

http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120511/pardew-named-manager-of-the-season_2281670_2769755 They've picked the perfect picture. Although they've got their facts wrong, 03/04 was a 5th place finish, no?

He should be a shoo-in for the LMA award too, they tend to recognise managers who've done a brilliant job in perspective compared to the PL award which more often than not goes to the manager who's won the league. I think Pardew's only the third non-title winning manager to win this award which sort of sums up what an achievement this is.

The PL has it's own awards similar to their player/manager of the month awards during the season. The LMA award, like the PFA award for the players, is voted for by fellow professionals. Also, any manager from any of the top 4 leagues is eligible for the LMA award.

LMA Manager of the Year 1994 - Joe Kinnear.

Class. Completely deserved.

Priced at 5/4, I'd fully expect it to win easily anyway, with or without a tip. Odds plummeted. Just had a look, priced up mainly at EVS. Can still get 15/8 on SportingBet though. Cheeky bastards they have a £1 deposit fee which they reckon the majority/all bookmakers charge.

Why do Wigan keep swapping between Blue kits and Blue & White striped kits?

The fact Phillips is arguably their best player by some distance in recent times tells it's own story. He had that brilliant first season in the Premier League, followed it up with a good season (14 league goals) and was then no more than distinctly average after that.

Masterstroke by the yanks. Scousers will lap it up.

Looks fairly decent in the promo shots, but not so good in this picture: http://assets.liverpoolfc.tv/uploads/homekitfront500.jpg

The sad thing is that someone will have been paid a shit load of money to design that. Possibly the easiest job anyone will ever do.

The ferry over would be total carnage.
