1610; if I were Pardew I would have been sacked months ago.

Hasn't VI said that this is common and not strange at all in Spain? Hasn't VI said that this is common and not strange at all in Spain? Happened a fair bit, not sure if it still happens mind. It's sort of faded out since clubs started doing good old-school bribing. Joking aside, it was quite common until a few years ago, when we started tightening our rules (it was illegal before, but hard to enforce and sort of tolerated).

Castilla is in the Spanish third tier; I would expect he's good enough for that at least.

Go back to unseeded, all knockout tournament imho. Having it as a lesser copy of the CL just diminishes it. The group phase is dreary anyway.

Delighted. Amazing news.

#Pards4Barca. Just realized our fortunes are linked You get relegated = we win the treble You appoint Pardew as manager = we win the CL You finish 5th = we miss on the league for the first time in four years The following season when you flirted with relegation = we win back the league

Ah man, f*** this 19 shots on goal, 4 posts. NUFC doing better than us atm, I will gloryhunt on you.

I knew it

Celta's keeper taking the piss now. FFS.

Pérez was a bit of a late bloomer for Tenerife. Only got promoted to their senior squad last season.

So many wasted chances... reckon we'll win it though. Celta are a good side.

f*** I've missed the start. Only going to be able to catch 30mins as I'm out for the 2nd half... We're having a bad spell at the moment. We started quite strongly and he was everywhere.

Neymar's on fire; he hasn't scored yet but he's had three great chances in merely 10 minutes of game.

I love the quote that was posted here about him "building up the basics" first before being able to do well and comparing it to assembling IKEA furniture. FFS, these wins have come on the back of players he didn't give a s*** about at the beginning of the season. He's been building squat. Your shelf came out s*** so you bought a new one and called in your neighbors to do it for you, c***.

As usual, we sold the wrong winger. Nah, you would never get close enough to the same money for Pedro. Easier to bench Pedro than Alexis for the Neymar-Messi-Suárez threesome too, I guess.

As usual, we sold the wrong winger.

Liverpool were shit, I understand they lost Suárez and they are missing Sturridge but were absolutely pitiful in the last third. Balotelli doing even worse than I thought.

I'm ok with Pardew staying as long as the goals causing it are scored by players I like.

Yay!!

This is on the Spanish telly; god, are Liverpool terrible.

Does he weigh as much as a duck?

Costa for me.

Wait, Bradley Wright-Phillips is the MLS top goalscorer?

Fantastic

I hope Pardew goes for it, to be honest, and no second string bollocks (although the players he doesn't like seem to be better than the ones he does). A trophy is a trophy. It would be a massive lift for the club, imho.
