Undeserved.

Pleasantly surprised to see Cabella start.

"You will, however, be given a gigantic coffee mug."

I'd love Gourcuff here. Think he's had some tough years but at his best he's a fucking genius.

"I can think of two really good sides I had at Newcastle," Pardew said. The one that finished fifth - in a way you've kind of won the league for a team like Newcastle when you do that." I really shouldn't read this shit. http://www.football.co.uk/newcastle_united/pardew_describes_newcastle_hurt_rss5403192.shtml#RccML48YA7YviWC5.97

Sounds too good to be true this.

You don't care about who will be our next manager?

God, please be true. Imagine if we actually appointed a proper manager (head coach).

Bellerin is faster than Walcott, apparently

Fuck all?

One can only hope that even Ashley understands that with Carver at the helm we would very much risk relegation.

Football manager.

I must have missed this.

The best part is when he gives him the shirt Interviewer: "It's time to see whether red and blue still suits you!" Pardew: "OK." *folds the shirt*

He's not a manager, he's a good coach not manager. Semantics. It's not really, the two are very different and McLaren happens to be very good at one and quite poor at the other. Urgh, yeah, but the point I'm making us that he's officially been a manager ever since he left ManU. In his eyes he's a manager, and will have the aspirations of a manager. That's not gonna work under the board's current philosophy. He's Head Coach at Derby.

Agreed. Didn't crack a smile once, which is kind of unusual for your first interview as the new manager of a club. When asked about playing style: "To suddenly change to expansive football isn't gonna work". Oh yeah, and he took us forward as a club, apparently.

Have a feeling Charnley & co want McLaren. Would be fairly happy with that.

Have fun. I'll take it up tomorrow.

This is the year. Let's win this thing.
