Quality Control? I had no idea we were running a supermarket. And please please tell me the justification of a full time 'position coach'. 'You stand here, you stand here, now, I'll just hand over to the Movement Coach....' I'll give you 1 masseur, although I'm pretty sure we have a health complex at the players exclusive disposal, presumably with staff. I already said fitness coach.

Motivation is about the only good point about Fat Sam's appointment

Assistant to the mascott? Boot cleaner. Assistant to the boot cleaner. It's a game man.

We looked at a whole host of managers after Sir Bobby and not just Sam Allardyce, so your point is pretty meaningless. Bruce was our first choice BTW. If he had said yes he would have been manager. Bruce was nowhere near the top choice, that's even more absurd than Fat Sam.

Rubbish. No one's looked at jack shit, what's happened is the man who was wanted after Robson has finally become available. Simple as that.

It's the scraping of a barrel Come on though, how can he honestly have 28 staffers, if he's not counting the tea-lady or PA's? And how many of those have we not already got? How many are actual experts in something we don't have represented at the club? I know we were hiring nutritionists 10 years ago, because we got stung for hiring some daft bint who'd forged her credentials. I just dont think people know what they're on about with flowery statements about backroom staffs etc. Hmmm 28 staff specialising in specific jobs compared to Terry Mac and Clarkey? decisions, decisions But you're meant to name them. Play the game! I thought of another one he's probably included: Cheerleading Coach Give us a B, give us an S, Whaddya got!!!!! Boring sod? Bull Shit? Correctamundo

"I aint gettin on no plane fool!" "Smacked it in the top corner like yer nar"

Viduka so fat, even Stevie Carr tells jokes about him

Fucking hope not. I rate him as a manger of smaller clubs but I doubt he could translate it to a club looking higher. That's funny that, I was thinking the same thing about _ _ _ _ _ _

It's historical, as the first engine designs were improved the power went up, but they didn't want to get confused with all their complicated calulations from the old design and change all the procedures, so they just changed the dial, or something like that. That doesn't make sense now I've read it back, but whatever, suffice to say, 'Engines to 111% means engines to full power (100%) for the Space Shuttle'

Is that why Freddy has been saying that the new manager's aim is to get the club back in the top six for the next few seasons? Changed his tune hasn't he? Would you sack Robson for finishing 5th to get Allardyce to keep you top six? Sam will probably denounce his statement about coming for trophies then I guess. Robson was sacked 3 years ago ffs, I think Souness' and Roeder's reigns have successfully lowered expectations. Not much difference in the squads though is there, our best player standard is still Dyer. Arguably, we even have a better goalscorer. You don't think there's much difference in the squads? Disagree there. Dyer wasn't our best player (or on a par with our best player) then and he isn't now either. I can only think of Robert that is better than anything we have now. Shearer and Bellamy spring to mind. Owen and Martins Can they play together etc.? It's not worth arguing with someone who sees Dyer as being on a par with any of those four though imo I didn't say I rated Dyer at all, I said he has been the yardstick for top player material by all managers since Robson

Chief executive bird was on the radio earlier saying he's going nowhere. Obviously trying to escape a workplace bunnyboiler

Go on lads, stick it to the bastards.

Well done for appointing the highest placed English manager, maintaining your record from last year. Seven of the bottom eight managed by Englishmen at one point in the season. None of the top 5.

I'm not buying the fact Houllier called us at all.

This is the game: Name 28 full time job roles that you might need to run a successfull football club. Remember these are roles that report to the manager, so nothing about finances or making tea. So far we have: Assistant Manager Head coach Assistant Head Coach Assistant to the Head Coach Deputy Coach Assistant Deputy Coach Assistant to the Deputy Coach Reserves Coach Assistant Reserves Coach Assistant to the Reserves Coach Youth Coach Assistant Youth coach Assistant to the Youth coach Physio Prozone consultant Fitness expert Nutritionist Sports psychologist Academy Director * Club Doctor * That's 20 (* = doubtfull these report to the manager) So that leaves 8 Scouts to tell him Juve want to dispose of a player on loan if they pay half his wages I smell bullshit here. He's counted the tea-lady, the chairman's chaufer and the club mascot i'm sure.

What's wrong with that? This: A blog is a log (as in 'Captain's log stardate ten past seven') on the web - a web log - weblog - blog.
