Cort

I would love for him to get the Liverpool or Spurs gig. He would destroy one of the media darlings and we might get some vindication.

Cort wasn't so bad. Just unlucky with injuries.

Glorious.

Dortmund only 8 points off 4th now.

Dortmund finally have their goal, Aubameyang with it. They've battered Schalke.

Love Mueller.

Why aren't Milan using their regular crest?

Think it's Quaresma at the front.

Many footballers have f*** all in the bank and live month to month. Loads will go bankrupt imminently now HMRC have their claws into the profession. Or in the case of Oba Martins, week to week.

Majestic from Özil. But he doesn't run or track back blah blah. What a player.

Number 10. Similar to Sigurdsson at Swansea, although I think he's more of a poacher type. Rich man's Nolan.

sportingintelligence ‏@sportingintel 18m18 minutes ago Reports that David Ginola about to announce candidacy to challenge Sepp Blatter as FIFA president. Because he's worth it? Or PR stunt?

Raphael Honigstein @honigstein · 22h 22 hours ago Re TOTY. I'll never forget the intl PL player who told me he watched "some football but not 90 mins of a CL game - I'm not a freak"

Forest losing 2-0 to Wednesday at home. Only 2 wins since mid-September, the end is nigh for Pearce.

Found this on Twitter. From the Independent when Gards was linked with Arsenal.

From my Lyon supporting friend: "remembered as one of the best in Lyon" Tuchel ain't happening so he's 100% the one I want. Charnley better not fuck this up.

And then you have journos coming out with s*** like this: Rob Harris ‏@RobHarris 7h7 hours ago Those lampooning Andy Townsend, the number of foreign TV opportunities mean he'll be far more successful than many Twitter critics Not sure Harris realises that most don't care if Townsend becomes a successful 'pundit' abroad, we just don't want to hear his inane drivel.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/11330409/Alan-Pardew-left-Newcastle-as-Mike-Ashley-is-about-to-sell-club-suggests-Alan-Shearer.html Alan Shearer has hinted that Alan Pardew might have left Newcastle United because he was told by the club’s owner Mike Ashley that he is going to sell the club. Ashley is encountering intense opposition in Scotland to his bid to control Rangers, not least from the Scottish Football Association who have blocked an attempt to increase his shareholding at Ibrox because of their rules on dual ownership. There are rumours on Tyneside that prospective buyers have approached Ashley to discuss a potential takeover at St James’ Park in recent weeks and Shearer has added fuel to those fires. Telegraph Sport has even been told by one well-placed source that negotiations are underway and that the asking price is around £250m, but this cannot be independently verified and Newcastle’s media department have denied it. The talk is also been fuelled by a growing sense on Tyneside that Newcastle will not appoint a permanent head coach until the end of the season, which would also suit potential new owners, as they would want to make that decision in the summer if a takeover was successful. Telegraph Sport revealed in September that Ashley planned to seize control of Rangers, but our claim Ashley was also keen to sell Newcastle was denied. It was the first time since 2009 that the owner has said he was not willing to listen to offers for the club. The club banned the Telegraph and released a statement on its official website claiming Ashley would not sell “at any price” until 2016. The club’s media department insist this stance has not changed. But Shearer, club’s record goalscorer and former captain, has become the most high profile person to suggest things may have shifted. Asked whether Ashley’s move for Rangers was a potential way out for him at Newcastle, Shearer said: “I don’t know [what his intentions are) because he never tells us anything. “He doesn’t speak to anyone, but there’s a small part of me that thinks he might have given Alan Pardew a nod [that he’s going to sell]. “It did make me laugh when I heard people saying that Alan wouldn’t leave Newcastle to go to Crystal Palace. “There’s a million reasons why Alan would leave Newcastle to go to Crystal Palace – he’d be on a better salary at a football club where the fans would want him, he would buy and sell the players he wanted. “There’s three or four very, very good reasons to start with. That’s where Newcastle are as a football club I’m afraid. Not good news but we’re used to that.”

I feel the same way about that Guardian article as men and lesbians did when the pictures of all those celebrities came out.

Ronaldinho was actually good at Milan, especially in his second season. Ridicilous that he didn't go to South Africa.

This. He's not employed currently either. What a f***ing coup that would be. I know nothing about him, why would it? What's so great about him? A look at his league finishes with Mainz shows 9th, 5th, 13th, 13th, 7th, compared to Pardew's 5th, 16th & 10th in a better league. I know position isnt the whole story, but like I said it's all I have to work from Also there's only 18 teams in the Bundesliga. So 13th doesn't sound too good for me. Klopp relegated Mainz and immediately became Dortmund manager. League placings aren't everything; Tuchel's the type who would clearly do well with our squad of internationals.

One does not simply mess with Captain Colo. http://i40.tinypic.com/1zz7478.gif

Ideally a forward thinking manager like Tuchel.

Okay, let's all buy Palace shirts. It'll help in paying for the compensation.
