I'm peerless, tbh

Guilty by association

I didn't realise John Oliver was a candidate. You and Fish can have that one btw

Funny as it is I doubt it would put off many of his supporters.

Bet he knows a thing or two about Evostik as well.

I know Whatever happened to Mick Mills?

Patrick Barclay makes Pardew look like a nice, humble bloke

Aye, they looked like it had never occurred to them he might be behind Reckon he was about 3 rounds behind after 4 and lost the last so that gave him shitloads to do to even make it a close fight and he never really got going until after round 6.

i don't think it was, purely because of the way the scoring works. Frampton won more rounds. If you look at the fight as a whole then you would ha to say Quigg had the better of the proper exchanges. Difficult to make a case for him winning more than 1 of the first 6 rounds though. Even if Quigg wasnt getting hit, Frampton won most of them on attacking intent and work rate alone

I think Frampton won on points like. But Quigg will totally regret not making it a brawl earlier. When he did, Frampton couldn't handle him on the whole

Mick Mills?

Lovely touch at the end there

I agree but he only looked good when Quigg was overawed early on and did nowt. Looked like a shadow of his normal self when the fight caught fire. Could easily win on Pts and probably rightly so.

Frampton looks like a fucking fraud tonight

Hurry the fuck up, man

Agree with all that, Dickie

He's had a lot more than a few weeks to work most of the players including some of those signings though

Think the respective egos are about the only things that are comparable

Comes across badly in the Robert Enke book

Think Frampton has looked absolutely top class bar that fight over in the states against that journeyman Mexican. He was floored two or three times and even though he won a unanimous decision it showed a bit of frailty. The Mexican had a big height and reach advantage and Quigg will have that too (to a lesser extent). Frampton has a short reach even for his height and while that gives him great power at that weight it might cause problems if Quigg can keep him out of range. Not sure Quigg will do that though as I think the needle pre-fight will mean they'll both be after a KO. Frampton has also fought nearly all his big fights in Belfast and, while he'll have a lot of support, it won't be the same as fighting in front of a full house at the Odyssey Arena. Think it's a pretty even fight tbh

Is it in Sunderland? Because, if it isn't, that'll explain why he's got his facts wrong.

You're often going on about how shit Pardew and Caver were, or words to that effect. Not that I particularly have a lot of affection for either of those but don't you think a change of manager and the coaching set-up and £80m worth of new signings should see some upturn in terms of results on the pitch? And don't you think that the manager has to take a large degree of responsibility if that's not the case? And, if not, why not?

Well he reckoned it would take 3 transfer windows. Making the assumption we don't get relegated and he doesn't get sacked (think the former is more likely) then he's got one left. Judge him after 10, erm 15, erm 25, I mean 38 games, or something.

Just thinking, with the mention of Ronaldo. Made me think that Van Gaal achieved at Barcelona what SBR couldn't. And SBR had Ronaldo at his disposal whereas I think he'd gone to Inter by the time LVG took over. Not belittling Robson or bigging up LVG but the latter did very well to win back-to-back league titles there up against the sides around at the time. Think he's been on a bit of a downward slide ever since though and that was about 15 years ago now. Also seem to remember reading that the Bayern players had a big party when he left
