Listening to that guy at 47mins is the nearest that I've ever heard to how I hear myself when I talk about Pardew, at all.

 

It's very hard to do it justice on a show like that, felt sorry for the lad trying to grasp at everything that's happened over the last three years in a short phone call. The only way you can sum it up appropriately is to do a Powerpoint presentation like IP.

 

Since 2010, I dread to think how many words I've written re: what a s*** c*** he is, and I'll have left plenty out.

 

So true like. He did incredibly well to cram a lot of stuff into a pretty short call. Ando had nothing. He'll look for anything to try and excuse Pardew, goes without saying.

Anderson using Ba to counter the player regression argument.

 

Thick b******, man. f***ing hell. Infuriating.

 

All the responses were perfect though. He hasn't played, which leads back to the players that we have that don't play that are regressing.

 

The only sort of weak point in that call is the point about Tim Krul, but the amount of stuff that he got over clearly and with the right amount of emphasis was impressive I thought.

Thing is as well, had that lad been able to answer the question "Do you think that we should have got more for Cabaye?" without being interrupted, I'd predict that he would have said yes, like most.

Nah, it'll be Mark Cuban or someone else wonderful.

A new competition for Premier League and Championship clubs to field B teams will be considered by the Football Association on Wednesday.

It is being proposed that the teams could play in a league sandwiched between League Two and the Conference.

Another option is to merge League Two and the Conference with the B teams to form two regional leagues.

The proposals are part of FA chairman Greg Dyke's commission on the future of the national team.

It is understood that the Premier League and Football League clubs are broadly in favour of the B team concept, which would be predominantly made up of homegrown players, but have reservations about how it might fit into the pyramid and the knock-on effects to other leagues and competitions.

One question is whether current League Two clubs would be relegated into the Conference or the new B team league if they went down. The other difficult issue is how far could B teams be promoted?

Despite those worries, one source told the BBC that following more than 300 interviews with clubs and other stakeholders in the game, led by research consultant Peter Beverley, there was a universal acceptance that a major overhaul was needed to ensure big clubs' reserve teams and younger English talent were being given more regular, competitive football.

Commission members point to the fact that clubs in Spain, France and Germany all play B teams in competitive leagues - thought to be a big factor in those countries developing talent.

Dyke is believed to be keen to open the debate about the state of the national game ahead of the World Cup finals in Brazil which kick off on 12 June.

There is a determination to get on the front foot ahead of the tournament to pre-empt the inevitable debate which will follow if Roy Hodgson's England team put in a disappointing performance in Brazil.

Ironically the emergence of players like Raheem Sterling at Liverpool and Adam Lallana at Southampton have taken some of the heat out of that debate in recent months.

And some senior figures inside the FA are urging Dyke to hold fire until after the competition and until all the finer details of the commission's proposals are ironed out.

The Dyke commission was set up last autumn to try and address ongoing concerns about the strength of the English national team and the lack of top-class English talent forcing its way through into Premier League first teams.

The commission, which includes former England manager Glenn Hoddle, former Leeds boss Howard Wilkinson and ex-Crewe manager Dario Gradi, is aiming to deal with two major questions - the pathway for players aged between 17 and 21 and grassroots facilities.

While it is thought the commission has done extensive work on the first question, the issue of grassroots football is not yet complete.

Other proposals expected to go before the FA board on Wednesday include a shake-up of the loan system and changes to the homegrown player quotas operated by Premier League and Football League clubs.

But it is the B team proposal that promises to be the most controversial.

:lol: There isn't one.  It was a course on presentation skills and the onus was more on how you present, so it's just me ranting and raving without any slides.

 

I totes forgot to mention him headbutting a player though, couldn't believe it.

Cuban would be a good owner....he is not afraid to spend some money for the right players, but it is also a very good business man. Perhaps their really is a middle ground for club ownership.

Crazy talk.  The two options are Man City or Leeds, there's nothing inbetween.

Don't think it will be viable. I'd go for the more controversial feeder club alternative

Thought Nathan handled himself impeccably.

 

It's embarrassing that the presenters/pundits were falling over themselves to try and prove the lad wrong.

In regards to that B team league proposition, what is the difference in that and the reserve leagues? As Disco said, it's even more of an excuse for the likes of Chelsea to snap up all the youngsters from across Europe.

Extremely harsh on the teams down there, would make the big teams even bigger (and greedier) and would make it nigh-on impossible for a conference team to make it into the Football League.

 

Utterly pointless exercise.
