that's a no, isnt it?

ta ?

anyone have a link to the shola gif, from the 5-1? spinning around the corner flag after the scissor kick, cameraman in close attendance? need a little lift, like

Has Kitson ever acknowledged this, or denied it? I read that it wasn't a footballer, rather it was football agent and ex-makem John Colquhuon, telling tales he took directly from more than one footballer. Apologies if his identity has ever been confirmed either way, I havent read the column since it left the newspaper's website a couple of years ago

Maybe Perez gets the benefit of coming on fresh against tired legs, for once? Cisse has done well with it, so why not give Perez a go after a dry spell. Could do him good.

this daft cunt will be puffing his chest out, nodding along while he reads this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31470797 no mystery at all that this has been produced during a season where 'big' clubs are involved, mind you

Seems he was dropped. Suspended for the group finale and Die has kept his place in team ahead of him. he wasnt on the bench either though, was he?

Decent summary when you take away all the layers of verbal makeup The first two bullets are by far the most concerning to me. Even if we had our own version of SAF in charge, the MD should always have a list of potential replacements that is constantly updated. Just like we should (or possibly do) have a list of players at each position we'd be interested in. Under Llambias, club said they had a first and second choice replacement for every single squad member, never mind first team player. Do not believe that they had no list of targets

Remember that time when we thought we had a chance with Remi Garde? What a time that was. I'm already looking forward to the next bullshit we let ourselves fall for, player/manager/whatever whilst ignoring the little voice at the back of our minds saying 'don't be stupid, ain't gonna happen'. Sick as fuck

We won the last game, played ok and scored three, so if Carver changes the team around today and loses/draws/team plays badly, he looks stupid. If he leaves it the same, he can spin a good performance as a 'joint effort', or disown a bad performance totally and make changes next time. Basically, if the guy wants the job he'd be daft to make changes today, unless he is completely sure of a good win. His best bet is a couple of quick wins without changing much, then change it slowly after that

We've scouted and bought relatively cheap players from foreign leagues, several of whom have been sold on for profit to top teams, several more have proved to be worth more than we paid and very capable of playing premier league football. This says that we have someone, whether it's Graham Carr or someone else, but we have someone back there who knows what they are doing. Is it too much to ask that this person has a say on who the next manager is, and the make-up of the coaching team? Even Mike Ashley must recognise the disconnect between the type of players he is buying and the way they have been used. Surprise us Mike. Lets have a young upcoming progressive coaching-type manager who is excited by the possibility of exciting the crowd now and again, not a duffer who has already shot his wad in the prem, like a Pulis or a Bruce

if he goes...if he goes. once more cos it's lush, but if he goes, what is the absolute worst replacement? we will get the absolute worst replacement. who will it be?

merry match happy drunk pardew out? hahhhahahaahaafucking bursting dontletmedown

lock the weird cnut up threaten his family, buy aaaaaaal the players

Fair play. I think a league system where fortunes can turn so quickly is probably more healthy and enjoyable for the fans, but that ship has well and truly sailed as far as the prem is concerned

To answer your 3 questions: Yes, No, Yes. Ok, exaggerated a bit, but it was deffo played down as a career move. All about the personal not the football. A massive upturn in fortunes, or were their doldrums not that bad to begin with?

Wasn't the story, when Coloccini was hoping to go back to Argentina and play for San Lorenzo, all about a struggling team with no cash playing at the bottom of the league? Semi-retirement at an almost semi-pro level? Is that the same team who are playing Real Madrid in the Club World Cup final tonight? (genuine question, if it's not, it's not)

Ball through to Colback inside the box was very tidy, shame about the finish but a very switched on passage of play from both players in a tight situation

http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/suspensions Ok, this is a different page from the FA site, which says he has 4 yellows and not 6, so yes he is one booking away. Think I preferred the idea that he was out for saturday but clear of suspensions for a little while

But he's on 6 yellows according to the FA, so a ban for the 7th, aye? I thought they would just give him a two game ban

Had assumed he was still banned for the Chelsea match, as he got both his 5th yellow, which brings a suspension, then a red on Saturday (didn't he?). Is this right? FA website has him down as returning same time as Colback, which would mean he either got away with something (unlikely), or will get the accumulated yellow ban for his NEXT yellow, which also seems unlikely. Have I missed something (much more likely)?

Didnt he miss three sitters in our winless run? Wallop-over-the-bar-from-3yards type sitters?

Happy that the danger of being mired in the bottom three all season has lessened, but cannot shake the idea that we'd still be there if we hadn't had any injuries this season. And that is fucked up. Kinnear was a better manager than this clown, that's how bad he is.

This. Have thought many times in the sky era - how would a manager like Clough announce himself now? Promotion, league title, then back to back european cups? Or getting someone to 5th three years in a row?

It's less about attendance figures than matchday income (and beyond that other commercial income/sponsorship). We are far from 3rd or 4th in matchday income, and that surely means more than bodies through the gates? That isnt intended to excuse any lack of ambition, but just check out how much spurs take into the tills when they play a home match, and explain our advantage in having a much bigger crowd?
