I can see us doing well in this one. Palace are the sort of team he'll want to get a result against and our new guys will click at some point and score a few. Sticking with 3-0 and the silver fox to pull one out of the bag again.

7 on the bench, 11 first team so 4 to be dropped. I'd think Armstrong and Ameobi dropped plus two. Maybe Aarons and Ferreyra?

I really regret sending him on loan. I regret it so much I packed his bags, kicked him out of the training ground, sent him to a different continent and told him to never ever come back.

You have 3 choices. Stay at QPR, go back to Newcastle or join Chelsea and get a fuckload of money and medals. Tough one.

Can't blame him for taking the job but he should never have been appointed in the first place really.

Who wouldn't be tempted by those giant invisible turkish women?

The second one has a hole in which the attacking midfielder likes to play. So where does the hole go in the 433? Or does the attacking midfielder expand to fill the vacuum?

Yeah! Fuck you alphabet, we're better than Valencia reserves.

A massive gap between midfield and attack maybe? Oh, we got that already.

He's not, trust me.

Is there a difference between a 433 and a 4303?

3-0. Obertan, Riviere and Sissoko.

GTFO No fucking way does this become a thing. Instant ban offence imo.

Haven't you got members to drive away?

Don't want to hurt his feelings? He's been destroying ours with complete disregard for 3+ years. I don't really hate his quotes as much as most people, they're mostly just manager bollocks. Not that I want to start debating it. Still at this. No, not at all, I don't want him as manager any more, I'm just not so bothered about the random bollocks he comes out with. It's not that big a deal. Aye, the shite he comes out with is funny but you need to remember it gets picked apart and analysed in ridiculous detail on here. All of them come out with bollocks at times, for me it's better than the sterile, anodyne shite most footballers are trained to say in interviews.

Aye, nice cup of tea after an ice bucket would be grand.

We'll get to see all the blood drain from Colback's fac... never mind.

Pardew and Shola go to a world cup. Wenger and Bale stay at home.

Am I the only one who did a double check that the priest wasn't Steve Wraith?

But then we might actually have to sign somebody! Does this joke still work? Not his fault he's unemployed.

We should probably stop going for players who have already publicly come out and said they don't want to sign for us.

Just like Fat Sam and his 'I could manage Real Madrid' crap.

we've got no other English players, the fuck wit.

I sort of get it, to be honest. It is the very fact that UEFA took a perfectly decent competition like the UEFA Cup, and butchered it, producing this absolute joke of a format. Now, maybe I am different on this because I can remember watching my club play in, and win, the European Cup (*obligatory mention*) so am tainted by this, but when we played in the final format of the UEFA Cup and then the EL under O'Neill, it had just been reduced to such a parody that it became boring. It started too early - I remember sitting in blazing July sunshine, watching us play Odense, and seemed to drag on forever, pointless fecking group matches against the likes of Mentalist Kharkiv or FC Boobtube of Slovenia. It just went on and on and on, and excited nobody. UEFA created that format thinking they'd have a television oriented second tier competition to cream it in from, but what they got was something that so few people wanted to see on telly, Channel 5 won the rights. Channel 5 don't win the rights to anything other than Big Brother and Home and Away. The excitement of potential European glory should be there for the likes of Hull, you're definitely right there, but if you look at the way they treat the competition, I honestly think it is down to UEFA butchering it in the first place. Incidentally, do Celtic now drop into the Europa League, effectively getting a third chance at European glory? How can you take that seriously? tend to agree with most of that with one additional bit is the fact champions league losers get into it, why? They lose and get rewarded with a spot in the europa league? Am I supposed to take this thing seriously when UEFA are all but calling it the losers tournament? It has no merit of its own its just champions league lite for those not good enough to get into the real tournament. I really don't get this complaint. The tournament exists explicitly as one for teams not good enough for the Champions League. Doesn't mean it should be the consolation prize for teams that get knocked out of the CL though.
