Please please please let it be Pardew. That would be genius from the FA

Well said. Anyone who expects anything from England is an idiot. Not until there's a decent team, a decent manager and the will to win. Which there isn't and hasn't been for a long time

England lol. Maybe now they'll stop talking themselves up eh

Is that Diego Moreso?

Happy birthday. 71% of statistics are made up or something

All the best Stevie

I think anyone watching England at a tournament and expecting anything other than disappointment is bonkers.

Why is there a range?

It gives me hope to read Rafa's comments. Fy on you fickle optimism!

Sounds like a vegan dish to me. The sort that is both expensive and unenjoyable and probably contains tofu. Fuck knows who he was but RIP anyway

I think if the players think they'll piss it and turn up with the same attitude as last season, then we'll end up with nothing like 92 points. The biggest thing imo is the players attitude so any shirkers like Sissoko need to be shipped out and pronto. Squidward and Marveux were a good start but theres plenty more gutless fuckers who need binning before next season.

Unless his expertise is sucking the owners cock....

Youre missing the fact that Charnleys been at the club since the days of the Halls/Shepherd and worked his way up from office junior

Making do with the likes of Taylor and Coloccini is why we havent brought players in.

I cant say Im disappointed. Too many injuries to warrant a new contract and surely we can do better anyway

God no!

Adios amigo, its time to vete a la mierda

Welcome back Noelie

Minor Lass Fingerer I'll get me coat

They were massively lucky Defoe stayed fit this season given his age and fitness record. They'd have been down without his goals.

Charnley will count the toilet rolls and run the stationery cupboard but any significant decisions will require Ashleys approval. The question is whether he has sufficient nous and authority on footballing matters to push Ashley to get the right outcomes. I doubt it but then Ashley probably only wants a super loyal yesman anyway

Yeah good read. So many poor decisions - mclaren, coloccini, no proven striker brought in, delay on rafa etc. A useful case study in how to get relegated. The only one missing is the constant unexplained injury crisis thats dogged us for seasons now.

It's a shame that expectations are so low (at both our clubs). Tbh I think if Rafa leaves most of us on here won't give a shit about next season. Allardyce might do a good job for you but don't bank on it.....he bought some horrendous players for us and played some of the worst football I've ever seen us play, Carver included.
